What influence does Confucian culture have on morality?

The proposition of "benevolence" and "rule by virtue" has played an important role in consolidating and continuing feudal rule and safeguarding national unity and stability. Confucianism emphasizes people's social responsibility and historical mission, pays attention to honesty and morality, and highlights the solemnity of human nature, which has played a positive role in shaping the character of the Chinese nation.

His benevolent governance, love for the people, meritocracy, benevolence-oriented ethics, reasonable educational ideas and teaching methods are still of great value in modern enterprise management and education.

Confucian culture is the most important part of China traditional culture and the precious heritage of Chinese civilization. The "ruling the country by virtue" and "civic moral education" advocated now have something to do with Confucianism, but they also need to inject elements and contents of the new era, keep pace with the times, critically inherit and rationally discard the useless.

Confucianism has a profound influence on China culture. Thousands of years of feudal society, except for the traditional ideas of responsibility, temperance, loyalty and filial piety in the Five Classics, are the result of their combination with feudal rule. Therefore, Confucianism is the mainstream of contemporary thought.

Extended data:

Confucius has 3,000 disciples, so he summed up many effective educational methods, such as "reviewing the past and learning the new", "three people must have my teacher", "learning without thinking is disconcerting, thinking without learning is lazy" and so on. Confucius was even called a "model for all generations" by later generations, and "Confucius Christmas" was designated as "Teacher's Day" in some areas.

Since China people began to pursue modernization, the position of Confucianism in China culture has changed greatly. Great changes have taken place in the position of Confucianism in China culture since Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Everyone should have the opportunity to refer to the resources provided by Confucian tradition. China people and East Asians in particular should have this opportunity. But just like other cultural traditions, Confucian traditions belong to all mankind, so Confucian literature should be translated into various languages as much as possible and provided to everyone.

Confucianism has been embodied as a universal world outlook and outlook on life from the very beginning. In today's words, China's ancient Confucianism is understood as the core of human civilization. Therefore, at least in China, Confucianism is regarded as an inseparable part of civilization or culture. Confucianism provides rich resources for modern people.

Faced with these resources, modern people have the freedom to choose. They can absorb some components in the resources or discard some components. Confucianism is the core of traditional culture in China, and it is also the theoretical basis for maintaining the autocratic rule of feudal monarchs. Confucianism and absolute monarchy constitute the two main contents of China's ancient political history.

According to the systematic synthesis theory of structural theory, Ceng Bangzhe put forward Greek (natural) culture, Jewish (legal, Persian) culture, Indian (Buddhist, spiritual) culture and China (Confucian, ethical) culture, which developed almost at the same time around several hundred BC, and laid the core cultural model of mankind so far.
