Philosophy is closely related to human beings. Philosophy is a science about human beings . The essential task of philosophy is to inspire the wisdom of human beings ,feel reflections on life and development, and impove the quality of spiritual life.While the prime purpose of Chinese philospohy is not to know and rebuild nature,but emphasizes the moral study for oneself ,and aims at improving human beings' spiritual state .Therefore,it pays more attention to self-cultivation and the influence on life and society, which leads to"Being Sage inside and Being Killgly Outside"The self-cultivation theory of the pre-Qing Confucianism has inner and outer approaches. One is outer approch,which can be accomplished through the outer factors,demonstrating as the coexistce between human being and nature ,the interaction between human beings and the comixture between human being and belief."Xiu " in "xiuyang"lays stress on moral practice and the standards demonstrated by moral behavior and outer behavior .The second "yang" was demonstrated as the coexistence between human beings and themselves. The source of its theory is that men are born kindhearted ."Yang "in "xiuyang "focuses more attention on the inner aspect of morality ,which refers to cultivating the root of morality and making moral behavior the inner conscious behavior."Self" in chinese traditional philosophy demonstrates as "self -related ",which refers to the relation between oneself and others. The harmony relationship leads to harmony and perfect personality. The confucion focuses on xiushen and realizes the union between humang beings and nature,society and human beings.It guides human beings to purse harmony, enjoy the happiness which is based on the union, makes human being calm and content,and searches for kindness and happiness in the inner life. This kind of happinese is the high state of life at which truth ,kindness and beauty coexist.It is also above fame and wealth.Therefore Mr Li Zehou said the confucion is the happinese culture,which overlaps the psychological ideals pursed by the morden psychology.Because healthy psychology demonstrates as the exoerence of enjoyment and happinese.With the course of modernization quikened, living enviorment of human beings has being changed dramasticly.The pressure and inbalance in the inner life are increasing ,while the sense of satisfaction and happinese is decreasing .Thus all kinds of psychological problems appear.The self-cultvation theory of confucion pays attention to harmony between human beings ,lays stress on the spiritual self- restraint which surpasses the material and it is against the excessive. indulgement and pursuit of material and personal interests. On one hand, it guides people to pursue what they want .On the other hand it keeps the inner satisfaction and the spiritual happinese and realizes the harmony between inner self and outer self. The methods of "Being Sage inside" has great influence on the psychological health of modern people.Learning from the positive and practical thoughts in Confucian is one of the important aspect of Chinese Philosophy theory. There is no doubt that the Confucian's healthy psychological thought is worth praising for maintaining and protecting the psychological health of modern people .It is also worth inherting and adding glory.The thesis gives a modern transformation of the value of "Being Sage inside and Being Killgly Outside".For Chinese traditional phylosophy ,Mr Feng Youlan and Mr Zhang Dainian put forward "Abstract Inheritance" and "Synthetic Innovation", "Abstract Inheritance" focuses on "absorb",while "Synthetic Innovation" focuses on "gain". "Being Sage inside and Being Killgly Outside" came into being and became widespread in the feudal society in which politics is the symbol of self-value.The confucian hopes that moral can intergrate with politics .If we reject the political idea that people who have great morality is the king ,the thought that the Confucian lays stress on the spiritual virtur has influence on the meaning of human life and does good to the quality of modern people's spiritual life. The thesis integrates ,innovates and combines the methods of "Being Sage inside" with modern healthy psychological thoughts,attempting to broaden the research field of the confucism moral self-cultivation theory. First, the thesis discusses the four aspects of Confucian's methods of "Being Sage inside". Then it deals with the overlapping aspects between the methods of "Being Sage inside" and healthy psycological thoughts. At last it discusses the self-protective effect that the methods of the the Confucian's methods of "Being Sage inside" on healthy psychology.
