Why should socialist moral construction inherit the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation?

In the traditional culture of China, the idea of self-improvement, attaching importance to morality, caring for the country and the people, educating people with morality and living in harmony is of great significance to the current quality education.

1. Spirit of Self-improvement In order to fight against heaven and earth, the people of China never give up easily, but always fight tirelessly. "Yi Zhuan" is summed up as "Heaven is strong, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement". It is this spirit of self-improvement that supports the development of the Chinese nation and inspires Chinese sons and daughters to rise up in difficulties, forge ahead in adversity and never give in to foreign oppression. Self-improvement is also reflected in the personality characteristics of self-reliance and self-esteem, which forms the national spirit of China people advocating fame and fortune. As Confucius said, "the three armed forces can win the handsome position, but ordinary people can't win the ambition." Mencius said, "Richness and wealth can't be lewd, poverty and lowliness can't be moved, and powerful people can't be bent. These three people are called courageous people. " This makes people pursue independent and perfect personality, and this virtue has been handed down, which has become the spiritual force for people to struggle for the country and the nation and promoted the development of society.

2. Worrying about the country and people is an important part of China traditional culture. From Confucius's "Poetry can be blamed" to Fan Zhongyan's "Worry about the world first, then enjoy the world", and then to Gu's "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", all of them are branded with this sense of hardship. From Yue Fei's "Laughing and Thirst for Huns' Blood" to Wen Tianxiang's "Keeping the heart of Danes and Showing History". This sense of hardship is a patriotic spirit, which embodies the noble feelings of taking the world as one's responsibility.

3. A characteristic of China's traditional culture is that it is tolerant of everything, that is, taking things with kindness. For example, during the Warring States Period, Qi Huangong founded Jixia Academy, which brought together hundred schools of thought of Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, Yin and Yang, fame and so on. At that time, there were Chunyu Kun, Zou Yan, Tian Pian, Mencius, Xunzi, etc., who gave lectures and traveled in Jixia Academy, and they were called a hundred schools. These masters gave lectures in academies and debated freely, which initiated a hundred schools of thought in the cultural history of China and made great contributions to the future of China culture. It is generally believed that since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a cultural situation dominated by Confucian culture has formed in China. But in fact, the history of China's cultural development is mainly based on the complementarity of Confucianism and Taoism, and this clue itself reflects the cultural compatibility.

4. The noble demeanor of virtuous people Guan Zhong, a great politician in the Spring and Autumn Period, once linked morality with the survival of the country, and raised propriety, justice and shame to the height of the rise and fall of the country. Confucius, a great thinker, even explained benevolence by courtesy, thinking that benevolence and propriety are mutually restricted and unified, and the unity of benevolence and propriety is virtue. The "virtue" emphasized by Confucius refers to the virtue of the commander-in-chief of the ruling class, which is required to rule and own the people. Second, it refers to the virtue of influence, that is, the virtue of ethics, in order to influence the people and maintain harmony. This idea of respecting morality is constantly developing and generalizing, which has been fully reflected in family ethics. This makes our country always put morality first in the process of ancient cultural communication and education. For example, the content of Confucius' education is etiquette, music, shooting, martial arts and mathematics. He puts etiquette first, which is a typical embodiment of the idea of respecting morality in educational activities. The purpose of this thought is to advocate educating people with morality, and to seek the harmony of family ethics, the consistency of social and political order and the stability of the whole social order by using the function and strength of morality.

5 Harmonious Ideological Realm The highest realm of China traditional culture is harmony, which means that everything should develop naturally according to its own laws. This includes the harmony between people, the harmony between individual self and body, and the harmony between man and nature. Harmony between people will promote social stability and family harmony; The harmony of individual's body and mind can make people calm and well-founded; The harmony between man and nature can be mutually beneficial and develop continuously. The ultimate goal of Confucianism is to achieve the first harmony, while Buddhism and Taoism focus on the latter two. Taoism's thought of "Taoism is natural" is of great significance for us to learn how to correctly handle the relationship between man and nature and protect the environment today. China's traditional culture also believes that to achieve the above three kinds of harmony, we must adhere to the "golden mean", that is, we should do things appropriately and oppose going to extremes.
