Traditional articles on Chinese virtues

The Chinese nation is a great nation and a wise nation. Excellent traditional culture has been created in the long history of more than 5,000 years. As an important carrier of inheriting the wisdom of Chinese civilization, classic ancient books constitute its core. The traditional virtues of the Chinese nation have cast the soul of Chinese culture with their lofty spirit and magical charm. Classics not only inherit the history of the development of Chinese civilization, but also inherit the moral thought and national spirit of the Chinese nation.

The essence of China culture is praised as the virtue of China by the world. Chinese virtue forms the spirit of the Chinese nation. With the rapid development of science and technology, the uncoordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization has changed some people's values. Worship foreign things, love pleasure, belittle China's own culture, and unconsciously lose the spirit of the Chinese nation. History has proved that if a country or a nation abandons its inherent cultural traditions, it will lose its national self-confidence and find it difficult to stand on its own two feet.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee proposed: carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Is to let every China people inherit and carry forward the Chinese virtues, inspire the national spirit, and work together for the great rejuvenation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and Chinese culture.

Townsby, a famous contemporary British historian, said: "Since human beings have an advantage in nature, there is no more dangerous era for human survival than today, and the degree of immorality has become a worldwide tragedy." Faced with the increasingly serious natural crisis and social crisis, people of insight in various countries put forward: "If human beings want to survive in the 2 1 century, they must go back to 2500 years ago and learn from the wisdom of Confucius." The broad spirit, profound wisdom and charm of China culture have attracted more and more attention and admiration all over the world. The desire for Chinese excellent culture and the admiration for Chinese virtues have become the enduring social hot spots in today's era. It can be seen that carrying forward Chinese culture and traditional virtues is not only the need of China's development, but also the common need of all mankind in the world.

The wisdom, virtue and spirit of the Chinese nation should be deeply rooted in people's hearts, passed down from generation to generation and carried forward all over the world, starting with children.

1. Children are the future of the motherland and the hope of the nation. Ten or twenty years later, they will be a new force in socialist construction. It will be their most important mission to bear the heavy responsibility of history, inherit the lifeblood of China, carry forward the virtues of China and open up the future of China. It is necessary to carry out the spirit of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, strengthen the moral construction of teenagers, and promote people's all-round development. It is an inevitable requirement for the spirit of the Chinese nation to be passed down from generation to generation and a basic project to strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization.

The second is the need of the development law of life education. As we all know, childhood is the most malleable stage in a person's life, and it is also the easiest to teach. 0-3 years old, there is no difference in children's minds, and they are not contaminated with dirt. They are really like Zhan Ran, with pure temperament, bright eyes, no obstacles in taking pictures, preconceived ideas, and will never move. This is an important period, which constitutes the basis of the whole life temperament and character. Unfortunately, most parents think that their children are too young to be sensible and easy to miss. In fact, only the purest white paper can draw the worst situation and build a rock foundation that will stand for life. 4- 13-year-old children's language develops rapidly and have basic learning ability. At this time, children's material desires are slightly smoked, their troubles are lurking, their knowledge is slightly sprouting, their sexual morality is still clean, their memory is still strong, and their understanding is weak. It is just the right time to train them. China has a motto: "Enlighten and cultivate righteousness, be virtuous", and there are even 300 copies of The Book of Songs. In a word, it says, "Think naively." Eternal sayings. All these tell us that we should cultivate a correct outlook on life and values from an early age. One of the important reasons why the Chinese nation is regarded as an ancient civilization in the world is that China people have always attached importance to humanities education. It is believed that education is the foundation of governing the country, people are the foundation of education, virtue is the foundation of people, and filial piety is the foundation of virtue. The Book of Learning says: "The country is founded by the people, and teaching comes first." Mencius said: "Eating enough and wearing warm clothes, living in seclusion and not teaching, are all close to animals." Confucius put forward the idea of "teaching without class" learned by the ancients, so they ruled themselves. Teaching, so governing people, not learning is unwise, not teaching is ruthless. "Our example is a serious warning to our future generations. If we don't pass on the virtues and principles of China people to our children, we will put the people in an inhuman situation and the country in an unjust situation. On the most important issue of educating children, we should not forget the teachings of the sages and the party, and put personality education and cultural literacy in the first place. Only adults can become talents.

Third, it is the need of the law of human physiological and psychological growth and development. There is an old saying in China: Look at the old at three years old, and look at the old for a lifetime at three years old. Now West Renye Fang has agreed. Because scientific research shows that when a normal person is born, there are 654.38+0.4 billion brain cells in his brain, which are isolated from each other. Only by stimulating a lot of information from the surrounding environment before the age of six can they produce many dendrites and connect with each other, and establish a complex and stable spiritual network. 0-3 years old brain cells develop most vigorously, followed by 3-6 years old. When 18 years old, dendrites stop growing, and after 20 years old, hundreds of thousands of dendrites die every day. The development law of children's psychology tells us that the cultivation of children's healthy psychology mainly depends on the influence of external environment and adult education, and the brain nerve activity in childhood is highly plastic. Easy to accept all kinds of external stimuli and leave a deep impression in the brain. All the qualities and habits formed in childhood are very firm, which often become the character basis and code of conduct for life.

Science has proved that the development of the brain, the shaping of personality and the formation of habits are all laid in the first few years of life. This is the scientific basis for carrying forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation in children.

Fourth, the current moral situation of teenagers urgently needs to strengthen the education of Chinese virtues. Today, with the highly developed information network, children are seriously influenced by family, school, society, media and various networks. It is not difficult for us to see that the sense of social justice is disappearing and the wind of gentlemen is fading. Short-sighted and short-sighted, cheating. The juvenile crime rate is rising, the age of crime is decreasing, and school violence is frequent. Many teenagers are unfilial to their parents and teachers. Forgetting righteousness before interests, pursuing pleasure, empty heart, confused life and decadent will. As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change his spots. If we don't start moral education at an early age, once we develop bad qualities, it will cause an irreparable and terrible situation. It can be seen that it is urgent to carry forward the excellent traditional virtues of the Chinese nation from the children. So, how to educate children about traditional virtues?

First, to cultivate patriotism as the ultimate goal of education.

Patriotism is the core of Chinese national spirit. It is also one of the important characteristics that distinguish western culture. Western culture advocates "competitive spirit", while China culture advocates "dedication spirit" and "guiding spirit". The ancient sages of China called "serving the public" a trip to the Avenue. They said, "The trip to the Avenue is for the public." "The country forgets the family, and the public forgets the private." "Take the world as one's own responsibility", "Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later", "It is everyone's responsibility to be proud of the world" and "avoid every cloud has a silver lining" all express the patriotic spirit of the Chinese nation. It is this spirit that has cultivated and brought up countless national heroes and people with lofty ideals in the history of Chinese civilization, making them make great contributions to the nation and the country. Today, we advocate that children should make up their minds at an early age and establish the concept that loving the motherland and serving the people is the greatest glory, and damaging the interests and national dignity of the country and people is the greatest shame. Only when you grow up can you make contributions to the motherland and win glory for the country.

Two, to establish a moral fashion of filial piety to parents as an important part of education.

"Respecting teachers and stressing morality" is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. China's culture for thousands of years is based on filial piety to teachers, so it is called ethical culture. One of China's representative works, known as "The Book of Filial Piety", is the Book of Filial Piety. The Book of Filial Piety says: "Filial Piety is the foundation of virtue, and teaching is also born." Filial piety is the foundation of all virtues. It is believed that all enlightenment is produced on this basis. He also said: "Filial piety, the classics of heaven, the meaning of the earth, and the trip of the people." Taking filial piety as a natural avenue is compared to an eternal law between heaven and earth. Like the movement of the sun, moon and stars, the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter. It is also said that "in the past, the Ming king ruled the world with filial piety" can achieve the ideal effect of "his teaching was not strict, and his governance was not strict". Filial piety to parents is regarded as the principle of self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world, and is regarded as the greatest character among all virtues. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Persuading Learning" said: "In ancient times, there were no people who respected teachers, and they respected teachers regardless of their rank." Xunzi also particularly emphasized: "The country will be prosperous, and education will be valued and fu will be valued ... The country will decline, and cheap education will be lighter than fu." "The Analects of Confucius" said: "A gentleman's business is based on foundation and born of Tao. Filial piety is also the foundation of benevolence? " China people stress filial piety, and lecturers stress kindness and repay kindness. Advocating the idea that "the kindness of dripping water should be rewarded by the spring", crows have filial piety and sheep have the kindness of kneeling and nursing. As a person, you should drink water and think of the source, and be grateful. Repay parents' upbringing, teachers' education, people's service and the protection of the motherland. Indeed, filial piety to teachers is the foundation of being a man. Just think, can a person who is unfilial to his parents and disrespectful to his teachers love his motherland and people? Can they be selfless when the interests of the country and the people need them to struggle? Today, in the specific historical environment of the only child and the increasingly acute social contradictions, it can be said that whether our children can honor their parents, respect teachers and love the motherland is related to the rise and fall of the country. Therefore, establishing the moral fashion of filial piety and respect for teachers should be the focus of education and the important content of carrying forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

Third, reading excellent China traditional cultural classics is the best way of education.

Excellent Chinese cultural classics, as a huge carrier of inheriting Chinese wisdom, national spirit and national virtues, have become a treasure house of wisdom for the whole world and all mankind to learn together. The concept of "harmony is precious"; The mind of "selfless and helpful"; The ethics of "wealth can't be lewd, poverty can't be moved, and power can't be bent"; The principle of "you can succeed if you want to set up people" and "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you"; The spirit of "modesty does not forget the country"; The wisdom of "doing nothing without doing anything"; The will of "Heaven is strong, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement"; The magnanimity of "the terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality"; "Better die than die" character; The spirit of "being brave and giving up one's life for righteousness"; Friendship is like "high mountains and flowing water"; The philosophy of life of "seeing Si Qi, having no desire" ... This systematic, complete, lofty and great ethical value system in China culture is rare in the world and an ideal pursued by all mankind. I believe that the great rejuvenation of Chinese culture will surely come. As China people, we should first learn and understand the culture of China. To truly understand China's culture, we must start from learning China's excellent cultural classics. Mencius said: "If you don't climb the mountain, you don't know the height of the sky;" If you are not deep, you don't know the thickness of the land; You don't know how to learn if you don't know the legacy of the former king. "Childhood is the golden age of memory development and education. Let children recite the excellent Chinese cultural classics as soon as possible, that is, when their hearts are purest and their memories are best, they will directly contact the classic treasures with the most wisdom and value, so that they can be friends with sages and walk with classics from an early age. Let the noble thoughts in the classic culture subtly influence their young hearts, and serve as spiritual food for their continuous digestion and understanding throughout their lives, laying their elegant personality and profound cultural foundation throughout their lives, thus shouldering the historical responsibility of inheriting Chinese civilization, Chinese national spirit and traditional virtues.

China is civilized because of its excellent civilization, while China's culture is immortal because of its noble national spirit. This is the reason why the Chinese nation has been suffering and unyielding for thousands of years, becoming stronger and stronger.

Let us inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, and let the Chinese virtues be passed down from generation to generation.
