Filial piety is the first of all good deeds. "Filial piety is one of the important contents and characteristics of traditional Chinese culture, and it is also the basic behavioral norm and important moral category in Confucian ethical thinking.

"Filial piety" is the most basic ethical and moral code for individuals. A person who is not "filial piety", talk about how to be a person, how to be a person, how to talk about moral character? Therefore, the Confucian culture of filial piety, is a valuable spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation, in today's society should be inherited from generation to generation, carry forward.

Educational value

Confucius is undoubtedly China's greatest educator, who organized private schools to promote the development of civilian education, and whose idea of "teaching without prejudice" can be said to be the earliest advocate of equal education. The ideas of "learning from time to time" and "knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing" have influenced countless participants in educational activities.

This kind of thinking is of great significance in solving today's problems of contradiction between exam-oriented education and quality education, and disconnection between school education and social needs.

Political value

The ideology and culture of Confucianism is not only a philosophy of morality, education and life, but also a philosophy of politics. The important embodiment of Confucianism is the idea of "benevolent government" and people-oriented thinking, which advocates "light punishment and thin tax", "listening to the people of the country", "enjoyment with the people" and so on. "and so on. As we all know, "harmony" is the essence of Confucianism's important ideology and culture, and "harmony" is not only a political means, but also a political end.

Confucian culture, after the baptism of the long river of history, is no longer something that can be described in a few words or paragraphs, and its profoundness is a valuable heritage of the Chinese nation, which we should critically inherit and absorb, and combine it with social practice to make it flourish and realize the modern value that Confucian culture deserves.

The concepts of "Confucianism", "Confucianism" and "Confucianism" should be clearly distinguished. Confucianism as a doctrine, Confucianism as a class, and Confucianism as a faith are the same and different and need to be distinguished.

The status of Confucianism today is due to the fact that Confucianism, after its emergence, has occupied the position of a monolithic ideology in the long historical process from ancient times to the present day, especially in the more than 2,000 years of feudal society after the implementation of the "Dismissal of the Hundred Schools, Exclusively Respecting the Confucian Schools". Confucianism advocates the rule of etiquette and emphasizes traditional relationships, especially ethical relationships between people.

Confucianism was fiercely criticized in the pre-Qin period by the Mozi, French and Taoist schools, and was rejected by the rulers in the Qin and early Han dynasties; it was successively challenged by metaphysics and Buddhism in the Six Dynasties, and experienced unprecedented difficulties under the climax of the May 4 anti-Confucianism and non-Confucianism campaigns, but it still survives to the present day, the reason for which is that Confucianism is rooted in the intrinsic value system of China, and is able to readily self-adjust to the changes of the times and of the society.

And to a large extent it is because it is the most valuable knowledge system in the East, so much so that today it is in a sense synonymous with nationalism (traditional culture). Confucianism is the core and mainstay of the national school.
