Confucius inherited other's thoughts, and developed Confucian ethics on core thought REN and ideal personality-gentleman. Confucius borrowed the old notion—gentleman, connected the requests of time, created new meaning. He made it as himself ideal personality, as the undertaker of Pre-Qin Confucian ethics. This new design of ideal personality produced great power of live and attraction. The Confucius ideal personality also deeply influenced later Confucian and Chinese traditional ethics. This paper will study the design,meaning,influence of personality , and try to find its value for today.This first part of the article examines the era of Confucius, in which he has the background and theoretical preparation. Confucius faced with a disorderly time. For the historical responsibility of the individual, he tried to create a new doctrine to re-orient people's thinking and behavior, to restore social order. In the intellectual heritage of their predecessors, he found a gentleman and jean. And re-interpretation of the two combined.The second part, discusses the "benevolence" as a psychological basis, in order to "gentleman" as the ideal personality of the system composition. The composition of this system is in fact a gentleman's personality development and process of formation. Deals mainly with gentlemanly virtue ---- benevolence, knowledge, courage; gentleman savoir-faire concept --- moderate; ---- benevolent gentleman's values Any, meaning assume that; a gentleman ---- the realization of personality study, thinking, introspection. Various parts of the above, and there is no absolute sequence, is intertwined, and the same time. Only for analysis before they make a distinction.The third part of the gentleman's personality was the value of research. Gentleman's idea of the personality of the later Confucian thought had an important impact. A future generation of Confucian gentleman from the overall sense of personality has undergone an ideological orientation of Confucius to---gradual development---the extreme and doubt, return to Confucius. Gentleman explained the scope of personality theory and practice of the current research ethics learn. We find that a gentleman should be fully contained in the right personality to solve practical problems helpful aspects, such as a gentleman of benevolence, righteousness benefit trends, ethical values, and self-awareness. Using a variety of Chinese traditional culture positive thinking to promote the moral need to meet the demands of contemporary society is more vulnerable to public understanding and acceptance of conservation and heritage while play our best thinking of the role of traditional culture. Of course, these are for personal moral standards. To be truly effective in resolving social contradictions, conflicts, fully hopes to improve ethical standards in the individual consciousness is not feasible. To raise the level of personal morality lies in the individual, but also requires a variety of external social conditions. Personal ethics and moral status of society as a whole are closely related, influenced each other. The level of individual morality is a necessary condition for building a harmonious society and infrastructure. This is the Confucian ideal personality thought to give us inspiration, also its value beyond the history.
