What are the characteristics of China's traditional morality?

1, manifested in the unique understanding of the relationship between material life and spiritual life.

Ancient sages believed that the reason why people are different from animals lies in their moral and spiritual pursuit. Material life is necessary for people, but if you only indulge in material desires and can't extricate yourself, it is tantamount to an animal.

2. The Chinese nation's excellent tradition of advocating spirit is also manifested in attaching importance to the realm of life and ideal personality.

There are different levels of human realm. For example, Confucianism said that the realm of life is not capped, but it should be guaranteed, that is, "see the sage Si Qi, see the sage and introspect". As for the ideal personality, Confucianism regards "gentleman" and "sage" as the ideal personality, while Taoism advocates "real person" and "supreme person" who lives between heaven and earth, while Liang Qichao, a modern enlightenment thinker, calls for the ideal personality of "new people".

Correctly treat the Chinese nation's emphasis on spirit;

Absorb and draw lessons from the beneficial moral achievements of human civilization with an open mind and vision. Take a Marxist stand, viewpoint and method, treat the advantages of other nationalities correctly, take me as the main factor and use it for us.

On the issue of treating China's traditional morality and carrying forward Chinese traditional virtues, we should oppose two wrong views: historical nihilism and total retro theory. Historical nihilism totally negates traditional morality without analysis, and even advocates "total westernization".

On the other hand, the theory of restoring ancient ways lacks scientific recognition of the limitations of traditional morality, deliberately promotes traditional morality, especially Confucian traditional morality, and advocates completely replacing socialist morality with traditional morality.
