Chinese civilization has a long history. Chinese tradition culture is extensive and profound. Confucianism as the core of the Chinese tradition has profound influences on moral practice of the Chinese nation. Many parts of Confucianism give us edification with brilliance of intelligence all the same. Confucianism traditional morality is one important part of Confucianism and the major content of Chinese national traditional virtues. By combed the Confucianism traditional morality,drawed their rational content and carried out modern interpretation, which has important significance in theory for civil moralities construction under the background in the market economic system and spiritual civilization. Confucianism traditional morality made a great impression on the 2000-plus years of feudal society. At this time of day, the civil moralities construction can't dissociate the Confucianism traditional morality.Otherwise it would be like water without a source, a tree without roots. We should reflect on these content which has universality and permanent. As report of the Seventeen Congress has pointed out, Chinese culture is a nation of vitality and an inexhaustible motive force for forging ahead in unity. A comprehensive understanding of our traditional culture, and select the essence, to its dross, so that contemporary society, in harmony with modern civilization, and maintain the national character, to the times. To strengthen the Chinese cultural tradition of excellent education, the use of modern technology means deep resources development and utilization of national culture.In Confucianism Chinese cultural heritages, Confucianism traditional morality have complete and systematic theoretical system in contents and ways, etc. we should critically inherit rational contents and system and give a new dimension based on requirement.

"It's of great importance for us to improve the moral quality and promote civil moralities construction.Confucianism traditional morality had played a dominant role in the course of the country's long history and is core traditional culture of Chinese nation. However, Confucianism traditional morality as creature in feudal system, has its limit. Some academics now think that Confucianism traditional morality is inappropriate for civil moralities construction and socialist modernization in the socialism market economy and civil society.They think that Confucianism traditional morality is thought in the feudal patriarchal system and feudal hierarchy .But now our country is the democratic and equality socialist society. Confucianism traditional morality doesn't have economic basis and social conditions. I think that a theory has historical limitation. Confucianism as the main part of Chinese traditional culture has ages and race. In the modern context, the relationship between the traditional ideas and modern ideas is isolated. Overemphasized revolution and neglected the inheritance does not accord with the actual state of the modern society. Confucianism traditional morality has the Universal Value. Of course, we can't copy but rather discard the unsuitable thought. Guided by Marxism ,from the respects of historical materialism and dialectical materialism, we should select the essence and discard the dross therefrom, and carry forward and develop them in line with the spirit of the times in order to make the past serve the present and make it adapt to the construction of modern society and in consonance with modern civilization. In order to provide better service to civil moralities construction, we should carry out the contemporary transformation.
