Research on Modern Dissemination and Transformation of Confucian Thought "Benevolence, Justice, Propriety, Wisdom and Faith"

Abstract

Confucian "benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and faith" is the quintessence of the Chinese cultural tradition of more than 5,000 years. As a traditional moral norm, it has positive and progressive guiding significance for People's Daily life and behavior. This ideological system not only provides a wealth of enlightenment for the construction of moral civilization in modern society, but also needs to recognize the narrowness of the feudal class contained in it. Therefore, this paper argues that in the construction of socialist moral civilization, we should deeply explore the internal value of Confucianism, take its essence and discard  its  dross.  Through  critical  inheritance  and  innovative development, it can provide useful reference and support for the construction of modern moral civilization, and promote the moral progress and harmonious development of the whole society.
