Features: In today's vigorous development of the socialist market economy, how should we recognize the historical significance of Chinese traditional virtues? How can we endow Chinese traditional virtues with new connotations for the times? How can Chinese traditional 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 China Society for Ideological and Political Work and the Institute of Ideological and Political Work under the Central Propaganda Department have organized the writing of the book "Virtues of the Chinese People—Benevolence, Righteousness, Propriety, Wisdom, and Trustworthiness." The book systematically combs and explains 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 times in an entirely fresh way. This book is positioned as a popular theoretical reader and a self-cultivation guide. The target readers are primarily the general public, especially young people, and can also serve as supplementary teaching materials and extracurricular reading for college and high school students' moral education courses.
