The Confucius's Benevolence Thought, is the core of Confucian ethics, the basic code of conducts for each generation of Chinese, and the fine traditional virtue of the nation. It shines the intelligence and wisdom of the Chinese nation in things handling, having a deep influence in China and even the whole world.To love relatives, to love others, and to love all thing on earth are the main contents of the Thought of Confucius's Benevolence. To love our relatives means filial piety and fraternal duty, It is love for and devotion to one's parents, love for our brothers and sisters, it is our human nature. To love others means loyalty and forbearance, that is "Before you want success you should help others success, before you want flourish you should help other flourish.", "Do not do to others what you don't want to be done to you." and one should try to be courteous, generous, truthful, acute and kind. To love all things on earth is to be very kind to all creatures in the word, to cherish ourselves, and to take care of everything. These main contents of Confucius's Benevolence reflect the spirit of humanism of he Thought of Confucius's Benevolence. Humanity is the theoretical basis, calling attention to the human's natural attributes, social attributes and mental attributes. Confucius's Benevolence takes humanism as the axis of the whole thought, people are the first concern issue of the society, and the theme of consciousness and values of human beings should be played in the center of the thought, it was the first great "man's discovery" in the Chinese history. Even today, the Thought of Confucius's Benevolence are still showing its huge increasing advantage in the aspect of moral principles, and are still being the precious resources for college student's Ideological and Moral Education. It lays a traditional theoretical foundation for college students' moral cognition, provides the college students with the source in the moral and moral education and is the coordination mechanism for college student's moral actions.As Chinese people are Building a Moderately Prosperous Society today, many problems should be concerned about:flaws in the college moral education, the influence of lacking love in our transitional society, the weakness of family love education, and the inner problems of the college students, etc. Self-centered, selfish, dishonest, lacking of self-esteem, actions of destroying campus environment, ignoring lives, are the main reflection of lacking of moral and virtue. All of these have a direct influence to a healthy-mind growth and a good personal character development of our college students. From this, we can deeply feel the valuable charm of Confucius's Benevolence thought.At present, when the human's value has been detected, the human's dignity has been respected, the human's strength has been affirmed, and the human's desire has been released unprecedentedly, but at the same time, the role of human has excessively been dilated again. We review the concern of the saint, absorb the intelligence of the saint, stand on the shoulder of the saint, and carry on heart to heart talk and have an earnest thinking. We found that Confucius's Benevolence thoughts have an important enlightenment to college student's Ideological and Moral Education:To build a socialism harmonious society, we ought to cultivate the benevolence of the college students', and promote the ideological and moral standards of the college students', specifically, we should cultivate and foster students benevolence cognition, the credit consciousness, the sense of responsibility and the consciousness for lives, set up their kind-heartened benevolence, refine the college students' sentiment, inspire their intuitive, temper their willpower of benevolence and actions of fulfilling benevolence, fortify their conviction, examine themselves critically and practice earnestly what their preaches.Lessons learned from the past can serve as a guide for the future. The college students are the future of our motherland, we educate college students of ideological and moral from Confucius's Benevolence Though, cultivate college students'benevolence character, encourage them to practice earnestly what their preaches in building a harmonious society, reflect of their inner charm as a group of higher-educated people, we can begin from the following aspects-family, school and society to reach our proposal. At home, parents should set up an example to the children in building the family benevolence environment, and let the benevolence be with the children's growth. At school, we should adopt many methods to cultivate the college student's benevolence quality, then benevolence can be cultivate well in such an environment, and we should pay great attention to promote benevolence quality of the college students, in this way, we can build a benevolence culture. With the help of campus website, we can capture network benevolence education battlefield. And taking the platform of social practice, we can guide the college students to experience the benevolence character if that is their will, and inculcate them with the benevolence thought in the ideological and political courses. In our society, we should build social benevolence atmosphere, insist in guiding positive ideological dissemination education, eradicate evil and usher in good.Human being are continuously creating newly outstanding brilliance and making new trouble that has never seen. The ancients created civilization, and the civilization influences our modern people. We must never forget that any attempt which blocks the extension of history will be harmful; meanwhile, these attempts are unable to seek the truth from facts. We are in a period of multicultural coexistence, Chinese and western coexistence, and tradition and modern coexistence; at present, the new spiritual home hasn't been built up yet. Confucius's Benevolence Thought and Confucianism that he had founded are taken as important traditional cultural resource for Chinese social civilization construction. As the inheritors of national civilization, the Chinese college students should feel proud of it, temper their personal quality with it, learn how to conduct themselves in society, and struggle for the great rejuvenation of the nation.
