| Political Morality is the good virtue,ideas and norm that should be possessed by a politician.On the basis of absorbing the political and moral thoughts of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the spring and autumn period,Confucius formed his own political and moral thoughts system.The main contents of Confucius’s thought on political morality are as follows:First,to govern with virtue,and to teach with virtue.Confucius believed that the best way to govern is to teach the people by virtue,and that politics is right.The most obvious political virtue of a politician is to be correct in thought,conduct and conduct.Confucius’s basic idea of governing is that only when we are right,the common people will follow suit,and the whole society will be stable and harmonious.Confucius thought that politics had a moral tendency,and there was a close relationship between politics and morality.As Shangshu said,"The emperor has no relatives,but virtue is the auxiliary." Destiny and the way of Heaven tend to virtue and goodness.Morality is an important factor in the legitimacy of political power.At the same time,politics also plays an important role in maintaining morality,showing morality,punishing evil and promoting good.Second,political morality begins with self-cultivation.The cultivation of political morality is a systematic process.The formation of political ethics,self-cultivation is very important.Self-cultivation and ambition is the first step.Confucius said,"I have five talents and I am determined to learn.".A person should make an ambition very early,make an aim at cultivate one’s character Qi family administer a country and level the world.And Confucius believes that the realization of the goal needs to do the following:grasp the opportunity to make up their minds;to do so calmly in the middle of the road;to identify the goal,choose good stubborn."Poetry Teaching" and "Shangshu teaching" are also closely related to the formation of political morality."Poetry" is the Treasure House of RenYi’s spirit,which records the positive to good,bright thoughts and deeds,guiding people in the right direction.The teaching of the Poetry and Shangshu can make People’s character gentle and gentle,kind and simple.The second chapter of the analects of Confucius explains Confucius’s overall evaluation of the book of songs,that is,the most important temperament in the book of songs is "Zheng",which is the embodiment of Confucius’s poetic thought and is closely related to political morality,so it doesn’t stand out in this position.From this we can further see that the "Analects of Confucius for the government"of the logic.The reason why“Shangshu teaching”is closely related to the thought of political morality is that the content of "Shangshu "is mainly the political ideal and goal of the former king,and it is full of the positive spirit of seeking good and being optimistic.Therefore,it can be found in one’s young mind,planting a positive seed for good,let people see the wisdom of thinking together,forming a "Loose notice far" as the goal of political enlightenment.The relationship between ethics and morality is also very close.The rulers made rites and music in order to let people distinguish right from wrong,The Way,Way Back,walk the right way,walk the Water Green Boulevard.Finally,filial piety and political ethics also have a great relationship.Filial piety is love,a person to love their relatives first,and then can love others,love the world.It means to respect one’s elders first at home.Only then will one respect others in society,and then one will also respect one’s own leaders.Therefore,the society will be well governed if we extend this method of filial piety.With the concept of love and respect,a person’s virtue is slowly cultivated and formed,political morality is the same.Third,Germany main punishment auxiliary.Confucius thought that in the process of governing a country,a politician should have the thought of morality as the principal,punishment as the auxiliary,morality as the first and morality as the main.The first consideration is morality and propriety,the second is politics and punishment.Of course,punishment is not the goal,but to reduce crime and realize the goal of no penalty.So what are the circumstances that warrant a sentence?Punishment must be meted out to those who indoctrinate,guide,and corrupt morals,customs,and laws,Confucius said.Fourth,take the lead in setting a standard to correct the situation.Confucius emphasized political morality,and the main body of political morality is the politician.To be a politician,one must first have political ethics,and then realize the great rule of the world.Confucius’s original intention was to make the politicians themselves virtuous,because in order to govern,rather than strong people virtuous.The inner morality of a politician is transformed into good behavior,and moral education is used to influence the masses.On the one hand,a politician should cultivate morality,on the other hand,the two should be mainly to cultivate morality,to improve the moral quality of the politicians in the first place.This requires politicians to take the lead by example,in order to correct.In this process,Confucius thought it was very important to select talents with both morality and talent,to promote honest people to a higher position,to discard dishonest people,and to finally form a favorable atmosphere and atmosphere in the officialdom with clear rewards and punishments and clean manners.Fifth,the highest level of Wu Wei."Wu Wei" is the highest state of Confucius’s political and moral thought,as the first chapter of "The analects of Confucius for politics" said,"In its place and all the stars around it.Compared with Laozi,Mozi and Sun Tzu,Confucius’s political and moral thought has distinct characteristics.Compared with Laozi,Confucius’s thought of political morality is characterized by active and promising,paying attention to education,actively creating wealth for the benefit of the people,and being firm and resolute for the politicians.Compared with Mo Zi,Confucius’s political and moral thought is characterized by:Love the people,great themes;emphasis on etiquette and music education;advocate close to their own family members,respect for talent.Compared with Sun Tzu,Confucius’s thought of political morality is characterized by a more sincere love for the people and a greater emphasis on benevolence and righteousness.Confucius’s political and moral thought had a profound influence on later generations,especially on Zisi,Confucius disciples and Mencius and Xunzi.The political and moral thoughts represented by Zisi and the disciples of Confucius mainly include:Loyalty To Officials;value the people;"Six virtues";peace and happiness;loyalty to duty;pay attention to civilize oneself with etiquette;be loyal to others;do things in good faith;virtue and leniency,etc.Mencius’s thought of political morality mainly includes:The people are valued and the monarch is light;"The nature is good”;"Old my old,young my young";"Blame on the monarch is called the respectful" and so on.Xunzi’s thought of political morality mainly includes:setting up a monarch for the people;Longli Guiyi;"The monarch,the people of the original";respect talent and so on.Xi Jinping said“No country without virtue,no people without virtue,”“Leading cadres should stress political morality.".Confucius’s broad and profound thought on political morality provides useful resources and wisdom for the construction of political morality of leading cadres in the new era:Putting people first;putting justice before profit;leading cadres being exemplary;selecting cadres who possess both moral ability and talent.Confucius’s discourse on political morality is rich and systematic,so what should Confucius think of as a politician with political morality?In fact,he is a gentleman worthy of his position. |
