The Influence of Confucianism on Modern Society

The influence of Confucianism on modern society is as follows:

First, regulate people's social behavior.

The core of Confucianism is "benevolence", that is, guiding people to be positive towards goodness. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith is a complete moral system, which puts forward clear moral requirements and norms for people's social activities and is of great significance to the formation of a good social order. Man is a part of society, and of course he can't be divorced from society. A stable and harmonious society will also react on people, thus regulating the behavior of good people.

Second, it affects the formation of people's correct values.

Confucianism emphasizes the golden mean, which is now called the golden mean, which conforms to the law of the development of things. When people understand the golden mean, they won't have radical ideas. Confucianism also advocates the concept that "poverty is the only way to protect yourself, while attainment is the best way to help the world". It believes that when a person's ability is limited, he should do his own thing well, and when his ability is big enough, he should do something beneficial to the people. This is actually to guide people to have the spirit of dedication and enterprising.

Third, build a good moral system.

Social stability and harmony depend not only on the law, but also on a good moral system, and many contents of Confucianism are still applicable to modern society and are long-term, which is positive for building a good moral system.

In modern society, with the development of economy and the diversification of lifestyle, people are facing more and more complicated interpersonal relationships. Confucian ethics, such as affection, friendship and love, still play an important guiding role, which can help people build healthy family and interpersonal relationships, thus enhancing social stability and development.
