China's ancient philosophy explored the perception-practice idea in an early time regarding their nature, origination, importance, order of priority and their separation and combination. As a result, The unique conception of Perception-Practice Idea has been established in Chinese philosophy. In fact, Chinese philosophical thesis is nothing but the Confucian Perception-Practice Idea, which has great significance both in epistemology and in ethics. China's ancient Confucian scholars held that acquiring the perception and being a sage is uniform; the method of acquiring perception was, more often than not, the method of morality culture. Confucians in the early Qin dynasty believed combined epistemology with morality culture and stressed the uniformity of perception moral practice, the function of moral sensibility and will in the moral perception ---moral practice transformation process, hence the uniformity of perception and practice, with rich connotation and a unique feature, has been established. Ever since then, the philosophical thesis has become the major topic of discourse instead of a mere epistemological question. We must distinguish the two meanings and do not equalize the ancient scholars'perception and practice with the modern men's cognition and practice; and we should not deny its epistemological significance just because we believe that ancient scholars'perception and practice is only applied to morality.So, the main theme of the paper is to explore the meaning of Confucians'perception and practice as well as their relations. By doing so, we can do something helpful for the socialist morality construction, especially for moral education in middle schools. Nowadays, the phenomenon of perception-practice disjointing among the youngsters is worrying. For this reason, the paper analyzes, by using the belief of perception-practice uniformity, which is the heritage and prime of Confucianism, why the middle school students disjoint the two and based on the social reality, how to take the effective measures to enhance education for the students with the goal of building a solid groundwork for moral education in middle schools.
