(A) "Self-cultivation" and "peace of mind" contribute to the harmony between people and society.
One of the important functions of ritual and music culture is to adjust people's mentality and cultivate people's accomplishment, so as to achieve their own harmony. Daqian put forward that "from the emperor to Shu Ren, one is to cultivate one's morality". A person who gains benevolence through "self-cultivation" will certainly benefit others. Therefore, the result of "self-cultivation" must be "peace of mind" The essence of "self-cultivation" is to seek benevolence, and the essence of "love" is to do good. "I want to stand up and stand up. I want to touch people." Put yourself in Xiu De and let others put you in Xiu De. If you understand things yourself, let others understand things. Therefore, the ancient literati "are immune to the body and help the world." People consciously realize the value of people and the value of life. To make people expensive, we must link personal value with social value. Give full play to people's particularity and initiative, talk without sitting, and pay full attention to people's survival and development.
(B) People-oriented and the concept of governing the country by virtue
"Sheng ji? Jing Jie said: "When the number is issued, the people say it, which is peace. "Confucianism puts the core and focus of observation and research on caring for people and personnel, which determines the most basic and core value of Confucianism, that is, people-oriented. Starting from the core values of people-oriented and people-oriented, this paper further establishes the theoretical basis of the unique governance model of Confucianism-rule by virtue. Of course, there is a difference between people-oriented and so-called "people-oriented". In a socialist society, culture is prosperous, and the people's dominant position has received unprecedented attention and respect, which is unmatched by any previous society.
(3) Pay attention to "politeness" when dealing with people.
"Rites" must first be differentiated and orderly. The harmony of "five ethics" needs "courtesy" as a lubricant to achieve "father and son are blind date, the monarch and the minister are righteous, the husband and wife are different, the brothers are orderly, and the friends are trustworthy". This is also basically applicable in modern times. Such as filial piety, loyalty and honesty. With distinction and order, people can do their jobs well according to their posts. If everyone can do his duty and not be rude, then society will be harmonious.
(D) the idea of "harmony" of harmony but difference.
"Harmony" is the unique core value pursuit of Confucianism. For 5,000 years, the Chinese nation has taken "harmony is precious" as its own value goal and value evaluation system. Taking "harmony" as the purpose and value goal of moral concept. Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has taken "harmony but difference, great harmony in the world" as the principle of handling international relations; "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you" is the principle to guide your own behavior, and it is also the principle to solve conflicts between countries, nations and people. Help underdeveloped countries with the principle of "stand up if you want, and achieve if you want", so as to achieve it; Live in peace with all countries, nationalities, regions and alliances in the world on the principle of "harmony without difference"; Building a harmonious world in the spirit of peace, development and cooperation. To build a harmonious world, we must adhere to the principles of "being good to our neighbors" and "being partners with our neighbors". The purpose of building a harmonious culture is to promote social fairness and justice, resolve the contradiction between man and nature, society, interpersonal relationship, mind and civilization, create a healthy cultural environment, and make people live in harmony and belonging.
(5) Filial piety, kindness and morality
Confucianism defines the moral relationship between people and the code of conduct that should be followed: "Be benevolent for the monarch; Being a minister ends with respect; Being a son stops at filial piety; Being a father stops at kindness; Make friends with China people and end with a letter. " He also said: "Disciples are filial, and when they leave, they are younger brothers. They are sincere and believe, and they love the public and are kind. " "Filial piety" and "kindness" can be said to be the essence of pre-Qin Confucianism. Through the common filial piety, the life accomplishment and moral improvement of father's filial piety, we strive to achieve "goodness" Filial piety has been a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times and should be strongly advocated.
(6) Unique concept of respect and inferiority.
The basic principle and spirit of etiquette is to respect people, and full respect for humanity and personality is embodied in a series of etiquette norms and other norms. Respect the wishes of others, be considerate of their needs and taboos, and don't force others. Don't ask others to do what they can't do, and don't ask others to accept what they don't like. C(}L？ Qu Puli said: "A person who is courteous and courteous to others is self-abased and respects others", and we respect him not only because of his self-esteem, so we should adjust our relationship with others and society with the concept of "don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", adjust and standardize the contradictions and differences between people, treat others equally and push others. "Don't blame others for being inferior to others, don't be too strong on others, and don't suffer from people's shortcomings." . Etiquette talks about self-humility, "self-humility, respect for others", and advocates keeping a low profile when interacting with others, and treating each other with respect, which is the basic premise of harmonious interpersonal relationships.
(7) the noble integrity of the literati and the spirit of preaching and teaching.
"Being high in the temple, but not arrogant; Live in the wilderness of vegetation and not think about it. " Give up the ego and support the world. Under the spirit of rites and music, the ancient literati showed a noble integrity of not obeying the monarch, and an independent personality that sought outside but was not empty. This is also of great educational significance to the present intellectuals.
(8) Rites and music civilization and people's socialization and artistic life.
What needs to be mentioned here is music education. Confucianism believes that music has advantages and disadvantages. Only music with pure emotion, elegant rhythm and moral education can cleanse evil, shake blood vessels and circulate spirit. Therefore, one of the ways to establish healthy humanity is to listen to elegant music. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not used for pleasure, but for cultivating one's own character. It can be said that the art of rites and music is full of temperance, self-denial and rational spirit, so the traditional literati in Tao Zhu, China have quiet passion, but they have cautious thoughts and pious purposes.
As the core value of China's traditional culture, ritual and music civilization can be said to be the inherent requirement for the country and the nation to maintain permanent charm and vitality and enhance national cohesion. With the concept of order and harmony of ritual and music civilization and the inherent moral cultivation of ritual and music, the sentiments of "ritual", "sincerity", "faith" and "righteousness" are born, and filial piety, good neighborliness, respect for teachers, respect for the elderly, courtesy, gentleness, humility, peace and integrity are cultivated. Only when the spirit of rites and music becomes the spirit of socialism. Only when the society is polite and the people are happy can we achieve a "state of etiquette" in the new era.
