Features: In today's vigorous development of socialist market economy, how should we recognize the historical status of Chinese traditional virtues? How should we endow Chinese traditional virtues with new connotations of the era? How can Chinese traditional virtues play a better role in the socialist modernization construction of our country? 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 under the Ministry of Propaganda 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 Chinese traditional virtues, primarily centered around "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness," and explores their new connotations for the era in an entirely fresh way. This book is positioned as a popular theoretical reader and a self-cultivation guide. The target readers are mainly the general public, especially the broad youth, and it can also serve as supplementary teaching material and extracurricular reading for college and high school students' moral education courses.
