Li
Li (禮) is a Confucian virtue commonly translated as propriety or proper ritual. Diamond equates it terms loosely with an endum*. Li is one of the four Cardinal Virtues of the Confucian philosopher Mencius (孟子), and Diamond’s discussions about it are often in the context of one or more of the three other such virtues, Jen*, Zhi*, and Yi*. See Four Cardinal Virtues of Mencius*.
