What are the historical roles of traditional Chinese morality?

Positive effects: Chinese traditional morality is the product of small peasant society, the ideological foundation of ancient feudal rule, the formation of China's political civilization and family ethics that lasted for thousands of years, and the maintenance of the stability of the ancient Chinese society, and the Chinese civilization was able to flourish and develop in a relatively stable environment.

Negative effects: mainly in the modern era, the modern society is an industrialized capitalist society, the traditional Chinese morality is no longer fully adapted to the development of modern society, and has become an ideological obstacle that restricts the development of China's modern development, which is far away from the democracy and rule of law of modern capitalism. This influence exists even today, as evidenced by the imperfection of market economy, the lack of a sound legal society, and even due to the disintegration of the traditional moral system and the failure to establish a new moral system, resulting in the moral slippage of the contemporary Chinese society and the incorrect social atmosphere.
