The Moral Quality of China Traditional Culture

The Chinese nation has come from a long and continuous history of 5,000 years, created a profound Chinese culture, and nurtured the only Chinese civilization in the world that has never stopped flowing. China's excellent traditional culture contains rich moral norms, and many Confucian thoughts are directly related to moral norms. Some specific moral norms still have important ideological value today.

Confucianism, founded by Confucius, discusses how ordinary people become "gentlemen" and "benevolent people", and holds that the main criterion is to have noble character and ideals and "put morality first" Confucius put forward a universal moral standard in The Analects of Confucius, which is called "benevolence". What is "benevolence"? Confucius said: "Love others" and "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do" are things you don't want to do, so don't impose them on others. In Confucius' view, this kind of love is not limited to one's own relatives, but based on it. "Love the masses and be kind to others" means to get along with the masses with love and get close to others with love. What is fraternity? Confucius said, "Old people feel secure, friends believe, and few people are pregnant." Is to make old people happy, make friends trust, and make young people care and love.

1. Honesty is also an important concept of China's traditional virtue. The Analects of Confucius, Daxue, The Doctrine of the Mean and Mencius laid the foundation of the system of honesty and credit in China's excellent traditional culture. The ancients in China observed the changes of nature and personnel, and thought that Heaven was real and long-lasting. Only the virtue of heaven can people finally get their long-term happiness. Therefore, people must pursue truth, not deception, and take "sincerity" as the highest realm of life practice. Therefore, "The Doctrine of the Mean" says: "A loyal person is heaven-like; Honest people, the way of people is also. " "Honesty" is an inherent virtue of human beings, which is manifested in truth, honesty and unity in appearance, that is, "sincerity in heart"; "Credibility" embodies people's sense of responsibility and mission, which is manifested in keeping promises, keeping promises, and matching words with deeds, that is, "trusting people outside". "Honesty" and "faithfulness" are moral norms that are divided into two and combined into one, and they are the important foundation of Chinese traditional virtues.

The divination in Zhouyi explains the principle of good faith. Honesty is the foundation of the world and the foundation of all morality. Zhongfu symbolizes inner integrity, external trust, inner sincerity and external trust. Xun said, "Guanzhong, with virtue, should respond to heaven." In other words, honesty is heaven and the virtue of heaven. This kind of crouching is conducive to honesty, because depending on the sky, of course, you can also rely on people. Honesty in the heart is conducive to adhering to the right path; Only in this way can we conform to heaven, because the virtue of heaven is honesty and trustworthiness.

Honesty is the foundation of people. In the political essay "The Analects of Confucius", Confucius said: "People don't believe, they don't know what they can do." People think that if people don't keep their promises, they will have no position in society and can't do anything. Therefore, honesty is a good character that people must possess. A man of integrity shows that he is a civilized man. Honest people are welcome everywhere; People will ignore the existence of dishonest people; So we should all be honest. Honesty is the way to be a man and the foundation of being a man.

2. The sense of hardship is the psychological and emotional basis of the Chinese nation's lasting and stable cohesion.
