1. In education, Confucianism advocates "teaching without distinction": carrying out its own ideas in educational activities and paying attention to people's all-round development.
As written in Liang Qichao's book Great Men in the World, "the theories and methods of educators can only be applied to an era and a society, while Confucius' education is universally applicable, which shows the great influence of Confucianism. The educational function of Confucian literature makes writers always pay attention to the rise and fall of the country and the sufferings and joys of the people, consciously shoulder the burden of history, and realize their personal value in worrying about the country and the people.
Just like facing the current epidemic situation, as contemporary college students, we pay more attention to the development of society and study hard with our own practical actions to realize our personal values. Confucian educational thought has penetrated into many aspects of us. After we take the essence and discard the dross, most of the rest is of positive significance to our education.
2. The core of Confucianism is "benevolence". "Benevolence" is a connotative accomplishment, while "courtesy" is an external norm.
Just like the spring and autumn story. The law of benevolence and righteousness says, "The Spring and Autumn Annals governs me by the people. Therefore, those who govern me are benevolent. Be kind to others and correct me with righteousness. Therefore, benevolence is for words, people are also, righteousness is for words, and I am also. " "The law of righteousness is to become righteousness, not righteousness." This paper discusses the difference between benevolence and righteousness. Benevolence lies in being good to others, and righteousness should be good to me. ? Self-righteous in virtue and righteousness. If your heart is not right, you will never do anything suitable for virtue.
People who are unkind and unjust are evil. This benevolent people's livelihood proposition, in that era, standardized the rulers to push themselves and others and love all beings. This universal value of "benevolence" shows the humanistic care for the disadvantaged groups. We can see that Confucianism pays special attention to the people's livelihood care of vulnerable groups such as the old and the young, and regards the living security level of the old and the young as the standard to measure the development degree of people's livelihood.
The way of being a benevolent and a gentleman advocated by Confucius not only pays attention to the cultivation of personal morality, but also contains the feelings of helping the people through the world. For example, Feng Menglong's "Yu Shi Ming Yan" and "Shi Jing Tong Yan" all convey the truth of being a man to the people.
3. Confucianism also plays an active role in regulating interpersonal relationships and stabilizing social order.
For example, in Li Bai's To Wang Lun, "Peach Blossom Pond is deeper than thousands of feet, but not as good as Wang Lun" not only comforted friends, but also comforted the feelings of friends who could not meet after separation. Confucianism is manifested in many literary works. Another example is Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Garden" and "Gui Xi Ci", both of which embody a kind of connotation and cultivation.
