Chinese traditional virtue is the source of socialist moral construction.

Traditional morality has both essence and dross. China's traditional virtue is the essence of traditional morality. As the essence of China's traditional morality, Chinese traditional virtue provides abundant resources for today's moral construction. On the basis of getting rid of the rough and selecting the fine, getting rid of the false and retaining the true, we should persist in making the past serve the present, bringing forth the new and Do not forget your initiative mind, and make dialectical choices to inherit and carry forward the traditional Chinese virtues.

Strengthen the excavation and elucidation of Chinese traditional virtues. Any morality is the product of a specific historical era. China's traditional virtue is formed through long-term social development, which inevitably bears the imprint of traditional society, and there are more or less places in content and form that are not suitable for today's real life.

To carry forward Chinese traditional virtues, we must, through scientific analysis and identification, eliminate the elements with class nature and limitations of the times, tap the moral spirit with contemporary value, summarize the rich ideological and moral resources in traditional virtues, reinterpret and activate the moral goals and viewpoints of Chinese traditional virtues, and combine modern life to give them new connotations of the times, and strive to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese traditional virtues.

To treat traditional morality, we should oppose two wrong ideas. One is "review", which holds that the ultimate goal of moral construction is to restore China's "inherent culture" and form a moral system with China's traditional culture as the main body; The other is "nothing", which holds that China's traditional morality has lost its value and significance today as a whole and must be completely denied.

We should establish a high degree of cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence, dig deep into the ideological concepts, humanistic spirit and moral norms contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture, inherit and innovate according to the requirements of the times, and let Chinese culture show permanent charm and style of the times.
