Features: The core of Confucian thought is ethical theory, and the essence of its ethical theory revolves around the design and shaping of the ideal personality. As the dominant ideal personality model in traditional Chinese philosophy during the pre-Qin period, Confucian ideal personality has not only continuously influenced the life value orientation and pursuits of the Chinese nation but also holds significant reference value for reshaping new ideal personalities today. In an era of global economic integration and cultural diversity, exploring and promoting outstanding traditional Chinese culture, strengthening dialogue and exchange, as well as absorption and integration among different civilizations, are essential components of inheriting Chinese civilization and building a new national culture that faces modernization, the world, and the future. This is also a sacred historical mission for contemporary scholars. The main content of this book includes the author's research findings on Confucius, Confucian ethical thought, and Mao Zedong's ethical thought. Some of the content has been published as individual papers, while others are second publications.
