What are the fine moral traditions of the Chinese nation embodied in?

The sense of social responsibility and mission of wholeness and self-denial. In the traditional ethical structure of China, for the benefit of the country and the people, "promoting the interests of the people under heaven" (Mozi Classic) is the highest expression of morality and the greatest "righteousness". Adhering to this principle to regulate people's behavior and observing this principle is the embodiment of "people with lofty ideals." Many thinkers, politicians and writers have been advocating this realm of life.

Confucius said, "If you don't survive, you will harm others" (The Analects of Confucius, Yongye), and Mencius said, "Life is what I want; Yi, I want to. You can't have your cake and eat it, so you have to sacrifice your life for justice "(Mencius Teng Wengong).

Fan Zhongyan advocated that "if you live in a temple, you will worry about your people;" Far away, the rivers and lakes, and near, you are worried about the king. " "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later" (The Story of Yueyang Tower); Du Fu lamented that "all the buildings are vast, the poor people in the world laugh, and the wind and rain are as peaceful as a mountain" ("The autumn wind in the hut breaks the song").

2. Kindness and interests.

In China's traditional ethics, we pay special attention to and emphasize respect and care for people, advocate mutual care, love and help among people, and strive to create a harmonious and friendly mild atmosphere. Confucius regards "benevolence" as the core content of his ethics, connects "benevolence" with "love" and regards "love" as the fundamental requirement of "benevolence".

It is advocated that "if you want to stand, you want to be benevolent" and "if you give to others, you can say that it is benevolent" (The Analects of Confucius).

To promote harmony between people, we should start from our own personal feelings such as desire, emotion, will and interest, put ourselves in the other's shoes, enhance understanding, be considerate and take care of each other, and provide convenience to each other, especially to those in need.

3. Self-improvement.

Thousands of years of changes in China's traditional culture have given birth to the personality spirit of China people, which is manifested in two interrelated and opposite aspects: one is "striving for self-improvement" and the other is "caring for morality". In the Book of Changes and the Book of Changes, the theory of "vigorous" was put forward for the first time, "vigorous but not sleepy, and its meaning is not sleepy but poor", and "a gentleman strives for self-improvement".

(The Biography of the Elephant in the Book of Changes) "Vigorousness" is manifested in the initiative, initiative and unyielding character of life, and the spirit of self-improvement. The idea of "Vigorousness and self-improvement" has always been advocated by thinkers of all ages and has become the spiritual pillar for people to inspire their fighting spirit and overcome difficulties. And "respecting morality and carrying things" is the humanistic feeling nurtured by China's traditional ethics, and it is also a realistic way to achieve vigorous and self-improvement.

It is pointed out in the Book of Changes Xiang Zhuan that "the terrain is vast, and a gentleman carries things with virtue". It is advocated that a gentleman should be as broad-minded as the earth, gestating, containing and accommodating all things, thus making himself a profound saint.

4. Cultivate self-discipline.

Paying attention to the cultivation of personal moral quality is a unique ethical culture in China's traditional morality, and the spiritual heritage that can be learned and inherited in this respect is also the richest.

China and ancient hundred schools of thought all had discourses on moral cultivation, and Confucianism had the most systematic information in this respect. Confucianism built a cultivation system of "three cardinal guides and eight orders" for people.

The "three cardinal principles" of "showing virtue, being close to the people and stopping at perfection" clearly defines the fundamental purpose of cultivating personal moral quality. "Those who want to show the virtue of the world, those who want to govern the country first, those who want to put their families first, those who cultivate themselves first, those who cultivate themselves first, those who are straightforward first, and those who are sincere first.
