In recent years,all kinds of social ideological trends have encountered and intermingled with each other at home and abroad.As a result,the crash of values has become increasingly intensive,as well as the belief crisis and ethical dilemma.There exists from time to time dishonest and immoral behavior in some social domains.Therefore,it is a rather urgent subject to reinforce the establishment of mordern moral education as nowadays moral problems stick out and the core values of socialism are being challenged.It has been pointed out in the report presented by President Xi in the 19th session of national congress of the communist party of China that:"Cultural confidence represents a fundamental and profound force that sustains the development of the country and a nation." Today,we must enforce the establishment of moral education basing on the excellent traditional culture bred in the five thousand years of Chinese history.Former president Mao once said:"We need to carefully summarize and inherit the precious culture from Confucius to Sun Yat-sen."
