What traditional virtues are contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture?

China's traditional virtue is a part of China's traditional culture. During the development of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, traditional virtues have played a very important role in guiding people's words and deeds and social interaction.

Chinese traditional virtues are rich in content and profound. Here, according to my personal understanding and referring to the induction of relevant experts and scholars, I summarize the traditional Chinese virtues as follows: 10.

Kindness and filial piety are the most distinctive parts of Chinese national virtues. "Benevolence" can be said to be a symbol of the moral spirit of the Chinese nation. It is not only the most basic and highest virtue in each historical period, but also the most common virtue standard in secular moral life. In China culture, "benevolence" and "human" are the same, which is the fundamental feature of human beings. The core of "benevolence" is love, and "benevolence loves love" is basically filial piety. "Filial piety is the foundation of benevolence" (Analects of Confucius, Learning and Thinking). The basic content of filial piety is that fathers treat their sons well, brothers are friendly and brothers respect them. It has a lofty position in social and moral life, is widely pursued, and is the cornerstone of national unity. The expansion of filial piety is the way of loyalty and forgiveness. Confucius regards "forgiveness" as the moral principle of "keeping promise all his life" and thinks that "the way of loyalty and forgiveness" is "the side of benevolence" The basic requirement of the virtue of loyalty and forgiveness is to treat others sincerely and push others. 2

In the long-term survival and development, the loyal and patriotic Chinese nation has gradually condensed into deep patriotic feelings for the motherland, forming a noble spirit of loyalty and patriotism and national integrity. This patriotism can be said to be the simplest emotion and character, and it is the sublimation of love for home and hometown. Thereby forming a noble moral character of defending national dignity and safeguarding the interests of the motherland. The spirit of loyalty, patriotism and honesty is a great cohesion of the Chinese nation and a great spiritual force to promote national exhibitions. Especially in times of national crisis, people of all ethnic groups stand up against foreign aggression and oppression, defend the motherland, persevere and die for the country. There are countless such examples, such as: Qu Yuan's patriotic feelings during the Warring States Period; Yue Fei's "Loyalty to the Country, Return My Rivers and Mountains" in the Southern Song Dynasty; When Lu You was critically ill in the Southern Song Dynasty, he still read "Julian Waghann set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice never forgets to tell"; At the end of Qing Dynasty, Lin Zexu said, "If the country lives or dies, why not avoid it because of luck?" . 3.

Self-denial and devotion to public service The Chinese nation has cultivated a spirit of holism because of its family-based social structure and ethical and cultural traditions, and on this basis, it has formed the virtues of self-denial and devotion to public service, family and public and private affairs. China's ethics has always regarded "putting righteousness above family ties" as the fundamental requirement of morality. The core of "public" is selfishness, and "fraud is public". Self-denial is necessary to serve the public, and selfishness is the public, that is, E79FA5E98193E59E7ad94313332633038 is justice. But it is not completely opposed to self-interest. The key is whether it conforms to ethics. The spirit of self-denial and dedication to public service is essentially the spirit that public interests precede private interests and obey social public interests. China people have always regarded "Dagong" and "The world is public" as their own value ideals. China's culture is in the realm of great harmony, and Mozi proposed "keeping up with the world and benefiting the world". Its basic spirit is a word "Gong". Under the cultivation of this spirit, countless outstanding figures who love the country and the people and care for everyone for the nation and society have emerged in the history of our country. 4.

Modest and courteous China is a world-famous country of etiquette. "Rite" is the outstanding spirit of China culture, and paying attention to etiquette is an important virtue of China people based on the world. "The reason why mortals are human is etiquette." Confucius said, "If you don't learn manners, you can't stand." China's ethical culture can be said to be "etiquette culture" in a sense. "Rite" is a great virtue of the Chinese nation. As moral norms, there are "ritual system", "etiquette", "etiquette", "comity" and "comity", all of which are concrete manifestations of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. "Rite" and "benevolence" are interrelated and complementary. Moral education needs to advocate benevolence and propriety in particular. 5.

Honesty is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Because faith is dominant and the spirit of self-improvement and self-discipline is emphasized, special attention is paid to the virtues of "honesty", "faithfulness" and "reporting". "Honesty" means truth and innocence, and its basic meaning is sincerity to one's own nature. On the basis of honesty, China people have formed many related morals, such as honesty, sincerity and loyalty to the cause. As "The Doctrine of the Mean" said: "No sincerity is no". "Faithfulness" and "sincerity" are the same quality, and Confucius regards it as the foundation of being a man. People who don't believe don't know what they can do. The basic requirement of "faith" is that words and deeds are consistent, and "words must be done, and actions must be fruitful". China's traditional virtue ranks "faithfulness" with benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom as one of the "five permanents". Keeping promise is the value standard and basic virtue recognized by China people, and "repaying kindness" means repaying kindness. Reward is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and an important principle and mechanism in moral life. Confucius appealed to the principle of "filial piety" in return. "The grace of dripping water, when spring comes." China people emphasize repaying the kindness of parents, elders, friends and the country. Similarly, "ungrateful", "ungrateful" and "ungrateful" are bound to be severely condemned by morality. In the long cultural accumulation, "gratitude" has become an important part of China people's moral conscience and moral conscience. 6.

The handling of the relationship between righteousness and benefit embodies the value orientation of China's ethics. Confucius emphasized "seeing Si Qi" as an important criterion to distinguish a gentleman from a villain. Mencius advocated "paying equal attention to righteousness and benefit" and cultivated the lofty integrity of "combining righteousness with Taoism". Xunzi clearly put forward: "those who are righteous before benefiting will be honored, and those who are righteous before benefiting will be humiliated." Scholars in Song and Ming Dynasties came to the conclusion that "benefit lies in righteousness" and "benefit lies in righteousness", while thinkers in Ming and Qing Dynasties put forward "benefit lies in righteousness". This basic feature and value orientation based on righteousness is the essence of China's moral spirit, which has been sublimated into the outlook on life and lofty moral realm of "giving up life for righteousness" and "giving up life for righteousness". Mencius said: "Life is what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who give up their lives are also righteous. " Sima Qian's philosophy of life is that "people are inherently mortal, or they are heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather", Wen Tianxiang's "whoever has not died since ancient times, keeping the heart of Dan is a history book", Xia's "beheading doesn't matter, as long as the doctrine is true, there will be descendants" and Fang Zhimin's "enemies can cut off our heads and never shake our faith". 7.

Industriousness and frugality The people of China have always been famous for their diligence and frugality. Thousands of years of labor practice have formed the excellent qualities of the Chinese nation, such as love of labor, diligence, honesty and diligence. Related to this, the Chinese nation has a tradition of thrift. For workers, "frugality" means cherishing the fruits of their labor. Confucius said, "frugality is not as good as luxury." He regards "gentleness, kindness, courtesy, frugality and concession" as an important virtue, emphasizing thrift and luxury. Laozi put forward the "three treasures" of being a man: "one is kindness, the other is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world." Mohism advocates "frugality" and "mourning". Zhuge Liang put forward "frugality and morality". Since the founding of New China, our party has always regarded advocating frugality and opposing extravagance and waste as important moral principles that must be followed in socialist construction. 8.

Being honest and clean means being noble, innocent, upright, frugal, just and knowledgeable. It is not only a requirement for politicians, but also a moral character that ordinary people should prepare. "Be honest and you will know." Naive, pure and meticulous, it is "clean"; Being able to distinguish between right and wrong is beneficial to righteousness, which is "clean"; Self-discipline without greed is "frugality". The essence of "sincerity" is to use morality, eliminate evil and be strict with self-discipline. Legalists regard "propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame" as "the four dimensions of a country". With "sincerity", it is possible to be "positive". The concrete manifestations of "righteousness" are "integrity", "justice" and "righteousness" "Righteousness" means following justice and morality. Honesty is the unchangeable value orientation of the Chinese nation and the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation.
