Confucian culture shapes the character of China people as follows:

Confucianism is an important part of China's traditional culture and has a far-reaching influence on China people. This paper aims to explore the influence of Confucianism on China people's personality, values and behaviors, as well as its application and existing problems in modern society. Finally, the article summarizes the necessity and importance of inheriting and carrying forward Confucianism.

Confucianism emphasizes the core values such as kindness, etiquette, loyalty and filial piety, which have been widely spread and practiced in the history of China, and have had a far-reaching impact on the character and behavior of China people.

First of all, Confucianism has cultivated the etiquette culture of China people, making China people pay attention to face and human feelings, and be good at expressing feelings and maintaining relationships with etiquette. Secondly, Confucianism shaped the family concept of China people, emphasizing filial piety and family responsibility, and made China people pay attention to family life and family inheritance.

Finally, Confucianism cultivated the loyalty of China people, and made China people tend to obey authority and collective interests, with strong national consciousness and national feelings.

However, with the development of modern society, the traditional social background of Confucianism gradually disappears, which also brings some new problems. For example, too much emphasis on collective interests and individual obedience may lead to neglect and suppression of individual rights. In addition, with the increasing competitive pressure in society, values such as loyalty and filial piety in Confucianism may also be distorted and become tools of some unscrupulous enterprises or political organizations.

Although there are some problems in modern society, Confucianism still has important enlightenment and guiding significance. For example, Confucianism emphasizes personal cultivation and moral concepts, which helps to promote social harmony and stability.

In addition, Confucian values such as loyalty and filial piety are also helpful to cultivate China people's national consciousness and national feelings. Therefore, on the basis of inheriting and carrying forward Confucianism, we should combine the characteristics of modern society to explore new Confucianism suitable for contemporary China.

In a word, Confucianism has had a far-reaching influence on China people's personality, values and behavior, and played an important social role in the history of China.

However, with the development of modern society, Confucianism is also facing some new problems and challenges. On the basis of inheriting and carrying forward Confucianism, we should combine the characteristics of modern society to explore new Confucianism suitable for contemporary China, so as to promote social harmony and stability.
