What is the significance of inheriting and carrying forward Chinese traditional virtues?

First, standardize moral behavior. Chinese traditional virtue is the essence of China culture and contains rich ideological and moral resources. Chinese traditional virtue is the sum of excellent moral theory, moral norms and moral behavior formed by the Chinese nation in the historical development, and it still has strong vitality.

In time, Chinese traditional virtues include ancient, modern and new-democratic revolutionary moral traditions. As far as content is concerned, Chinese traditional virtues are both ideological and behavioral.

Second, it has a positive effect on contemporary people and today's social development. Comrade Mao Zedong put forward the correct orientation of China's traditional culture and China's traditional morality in theory: "Today's China is the development of historical China; We are Marxist historians and should not cut off history. From Confucius to Sun Yat-sen, we should sum up and inherit this precious heritage.

Third, inherit the excellent Chinese culture. The sense of responsibility for the rise and fall of the world, the patriotic feelings of faithfully serving the country and rejuvenating China, the social fashion of respecting morality, respecting virtue and Si Qi, and the concept of honor and disgrace such as filial piety, loyalty, courtesy and honesty reflect the value standards of the Chinese nation in judging right and wrong, and exert a subtle influence on the behavior of Chinese people.

Extended data:

China's traditional virtue pays attention to the relationship between individual and collective, public and private, and thinks that "public and private are opposite, and good and evil are the cause". In other words, all moral problems are caused by the opposition between public and private. "Good and evil are born from public and private." People's moral level is also reflected in different attitudes when dealing with public-private relations. The so-called "gentlemen and villains are often different, just public and private."

In addition, how to deal with public-private relations also determines the success or failure of individuals and even national undertakings. The so-called "single-minded can ruin the country, single-minded can rejuvenate the country, only between public and private." Chinese traditional virtues have always believed that "public" is the highest realm, "the world is in harmony, and sages are public." Therefore, people should also be "selfless, great harmony without me."

In daily life, individuals should adhere to the principle of "breaking private interests, self-denial and doing good", and through examination and treatment, achieve "public emphasis on private interests, clear distinction between public and private interests" and "public emphasis on private interests, meticulous harm to people." This spirit of collectivism runs through a series of moral standards and norms of Chinese traditional virtues, such as benevolence, courtesy, wisdom, faithfulness, diligence, honesty and harmony.

Chinese traditional virtues pay attention to the unity of knowledge and action, and emphasize action while paying attention to moral cognition. They think that "words are useless and actions are necessary." In other words, while paying attention to people's moral education and cultivation, we should strive to promote the practice and practice of moral consciousness.

This is not only because "it is not difficult to know, but it is difficult to do", but more importantly, practice is the standard for testing truth and falsehood: "What is unclear is effective, and what is evidenced is not necessarily. Empty talk is empty talk. Although there is sincerity, people still don't believe it. "
