What are the traditional virtues of China?

The traditional virtue of the Chinese nation advocates the steps and modes to realize the ideal of life, that is, "respect for things, knowledge, honesty, integrity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world". This basic moral concept of treating people with things is the basic requirement for human beings to carry out material production activities and their own survival and development, and it is also the minimum code of conduct for people to live together.

Traditional morality generally plays a role when the society is stable, but it lacks its position when the society changes dramatically. As the saying goes, "it is the merit of' ruling Japan and doing things'." The ancients said: "Take history as a mirror, and you can know the rise and fall. History has proved that Confucian ethics often plays its social role in stabilizing society, easing contradictions and regulating interpersonal relationships in times of peace and prosperity.

Contemporary China has entered a relatively stable period of peaceful development, and social stability and political stability are the overall situation of China. In order to achieve the grand goal of building a harmonious society, it is necessary to unite and cooperate with all walks of life. Among them, moral construction is undoubtedly an important spiritual cornerstone and a powerful grasp of building a harmonious society.

Whether a society can be harmonious and a country can maintain long-term stability depends largely on the ideological and moral quality and moral construction level of all social members, which is an important symbol of a harmonious socialist society.
