- Abstract:
- Since the 18th Party Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly highlighted the importance of promoting traditional Chinese culture and strengthening our moral education. China boasts of a long history and splendid civilization, of which traditional Chinese values are an indispensable part. In the Song Dynasty, a chapter of Chinese history known by its thriving culture, the development of Confucianism reached its new height, and newly-emerged schools like Cheng-Zhu li-xue(理学learning of principle)exerted profound influences on Chinese culture. The core moral norms and value system of the Neo-Confucianism at that time are as follows. Confucian scholars entertained universal love to everything, and showed great concern for the national affairs and the people’s livelihood, reflecting their desire to go into the society. They focused on self-cultivation and self-control without chasing after fame and wealth. As advocates for diligent study, they pursued integrity in character and excellence in academic achievement. Their unswerving pursuit of Confucianism and moral cultivation is the essence of traditional Chinese culture, which is also of practical and referential significance for our cultural and socialist moral construction in contemporary China.
