The meaning of "Reitaku"

The word "Reitaku" is taken from the Chinese classic "Book of Changes": "The figure says, A beautiful stream is joyful, A gentleman studies with his friends." This phrase is explained as "It is joyous to see two streams irrigating each other. It is wonderful to see a person who wants to become a fine person working hard with friends who share the same aspirations."
