The Modern Significance of Confucian Moral Culture

Confucian moral culture has important intrinsic and extrinsic values for the modernization of people's ideological and moral concepts, especially the traditional virtues it provides, which are of great practical significance for improving the social atmosphere, purifying the social environment, and improving people's ideological and moral quality.

For thousands of years, the combination of Confucian moral culture and social etiquette*** has created the humanistic character of Chinese people's oriental classicism of gentleness, peace and courtesy, and has provided traditional Chinese people with stable value support and ideal identity. This moral culture and ethical spirit have provided important moral resources for China's modernization. China's modernization is developing by leaps and bounds at an unprecedented speed. However, modernization is not only limited to the economic sphere, but also includes the spiritual sphere, i.e. the modernization of ideological and moral concepts. While realizing economic modernization, how to modernize people's ideological and moral concepts is a major issue facing China's ideological and moral construction at present. In particular, the creative conversion of Confucian moral culture, which is the core of traditional Chinese ethics, is an important part of the current construction of ideology, morality and ethics and spirituality, as well as the modernization of human ideological and moral concepts.
