The relationship between Confucius' legacy and patriotic values in the new period

Confucius' heritage refers to the rich ideological and cultural heritage left by Confucius and his descendants. These heritages include Confucius' ideological system, Confucian classics, etiquette culture, language and writing, etc. It has played an irreplaceable role in the cultural inheritance and development of the Chinese nation.

Today, in the new era, the legacy of Confucius still has important practical significance and is closely related to the patriotic value of the new era. First of all, Confucius' thought emphasizes "benevolence", that is, advocating kindness, fraternity and goodwill to make people's behavior conform to moral standards, which is closely related to patriotism in the new era. Patriotism is an ethical concept centered on patriotism, which emphasizes that individuals should put national interests above personal interests and contribute to the prosperity and development of the country.

Secondly, the values of "sincerity" and "righteousness" in Confucius' legacy are also closely related to patriotism in the new period. In modern society, the establishment and maintenance of honesty is the key to ensure social justice and promote economic development, which is in the same strain as Confucius' thought of "honesty-based". At the same time, Confucius' thought also emphasizes "righteousness", that is, citizens should have correct moral values, which is consistent with the concept of civic responsibility and social justice advocated by patriotism in the new period.

In a word, the legacy of Confucius and the patriotic value of the new era are inextricably linked and related in many aspects. They have become an important part of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and are of great significance for leading the development of modern society and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
