Universal ethics of China is an exotic product, but have significant influence. In summary, universal ethics is ethical principles and moral standards for adjustment of man and nature and human relations as well as people with their own relation in the context of globalization. Universal ethics is one kind of dialogue ethics, the ethics bottom line, cross-culture ethics and the conformability ethics. Universal ethics is a product of globalization, and only under the conditions of globalization, it can become possible. Although some opposition to universal ethics, it is the intrinsic requirement of the development of ethics, and also a way for resolving the contradictions and conflicts of modern society. Universal ethical culture as an improvement for the traditional ethics means ethics own development and improvement.Confucian culture is rare in the world several long history and rich plot along, the impact of one of the great ideological, and cultural system. Christian culture, Islam culture, a culture of the Indian culture and Buddhism and it can coexist. Confucian Virtue school, and can be called love-the school is the essence of Confucian ethical thinking and the most universal nature. And it could provide important ideological foundation for human universal ethics. Confucian ethics emphasized the benevolent;"we are in the same fraternity," As a world, human only have a love feeling and sense, so universal ethical construction can proceed smoothly. Confucian ethical ideas of the road to moderation and forgiveness provide the universal ethics for valuable ideas. Among them, "and that different" principle is not only a number of common human ethical aspects, but also point out the correct handling of cultural differences, moral difference in the right way. Universal ethics as an ethical culture and moral principles under globalization can mutually interlinked, while maintaining their specificity and overall diversity, richness, and the only truly universal nature of reality.This paper will analyze and verify from three aspects: Confucian ethical factors and the possibility of a universal ethics trails.The first part is to explain the theory of universal ethics. What is universal ethics?Kong Hans explained: "We have global ethics, does not mean a global ideology, nor is beyond all existing religions a single unified religion. We have global ethic that is bound to have some values and some irrevocable standards and personal attitudes for basic consensus. Without such a basic consensus on ethical, social chaos or dictatorship will be threat and person will despair sooner or later." In short, universal ethics is the ethical principles and moral standards for adjustment of man and nature and human relations as well as people with their own relation in the context of globalization. Universal ethical principles include three aspects: First, the regulation of natural persons and the ethical and moral principles;Second, the adjustment of the ethical principles and standards of human relations;Third, people adjust their own ethical principles and moral relations. Universal ethics is a dialogue ethics, the ethical bottom line, cross-cultural ethics and conformable ethical values. Universal pursuit is the embodiment of the cultural nature;universal human ethics derived exchanges demand. "Global Issues" is a universal ethical direct causes, the common interests of mankind is the formation of the existence of universal ethical reality.Part II, analysis and appraisal of the possibility of Confucian ethics become universal ethical factors. Confucian ethics of universal ethical character, it is to the spirit of unity and religious subjects, is universal and national unity. Confucian ethical human beings with rich cultural details and universal ethical factors, including "forgiveness of Road" has become a universal golden rule of ethics, "and the different" has become today's globalization values, "harmony with God" has become universal ethical ideal realm.Part III, exploration for Confucian ethics become universal ethics conditions and trails. Confucian ethics includes a universal ethical factors and has become a universal culture of ethical content and conditions, but only from a theoretical and practical dimensions of Confucian ethical dimensions of the modem transformation of the conditions of globalization cultural integration, the promotion of Confucian ethics erection of the platform, the active participation of relevant United Nations universal ethical construction work Confucian ethics to enable integration into the contemporary world cultural trends, The essence of Confucian ethics can becomerecognized and accepted by the world universal ethics.Through three aspects, the article will show that Confucian ethics has into the universal ethics the possible factor and the way. Although it realize with difficulties, we must face the challenge and gradually unfold the life the wisdom. Between the civil war and the country and the country, the groups frequently conflicting today, the people must understand other ethics culture characteristics, and respect ethics culture foundation to promote all cultures altogether and have universal ethics diligently. Universal ethics stipulated boundary very wide, the standard is really low, but this request is actually which the humanity must observe the moral ethics foundation on which the moment cannot leave. It manifests what has maintained the most basic rule and the order on which the humanity existed must. Only so, it not only has presented the human history development appearance, moreover exists in human's real life. Therefore has a bigger tolerance, the freedom and the creativity, and has universally eternal vigor. I hoped that everybody have the common prospect, and construct a more civilized, rational and more tolerant new times.
