Features: In today's vigorous development of the socialist market economy, how should we recognize the historical status of traditional Chinese virtues? How should we endow traditional Chinese virtues with new connotations of the era? How can traditional Chinese virtues play a better role in China's socialist modernization? These are the hot issues that people are generally concerned about and think deeply about. Based on in-depth research, the Chinese Society of Ideological and Political Work Research and the Institute of Ideological and Political Work of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China have organized the compilation of the book "Virtues of the Chinese People—Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Trustworthiness." The book systematically combs and interprets the origin, development, and basic connotations of traditional Chinese virtues centered around "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness," and explores their new connotations for the era in an entirely new way. This book is positioned as a popular theoretical reader and a self-cultivation guide. The target readers are primarily the general public, especially the broad youth, and can also serve as supplementary teaching materials and extracurricular reading for college and high school moral education courses.
