The moral education, as an inextricable part of education, should comply with the guiding ideology. The main responsibility of moral education is to promote morality of the students, so moral education is a kind of that which promotes the harmonious development of student’s moral character education. For a long time, however, in most instances our country’s moral education only pay attention to the social function of moral education, regarding people as the machine to passively obey the social rules, inculcating the moral norm to students. Moral education has played a positive role in social stability and integration in a certain period, but also has appeared a lot of disadvantages at the same time. This moral education frequently regards the student as object of passive position-processed products, while completely ignoring the needs of the students. Therefore, students don’t identify with the moral knowledge, and it reduces the practical benefits of moral education. The object of moral education is people who are in certain social relations, while the traditional moral education regarding people as abstract men who are “jade” which are waiting to be carved and ignores the cultivation of the students’ moral emotion, the exercise of moral will and the formation of moral belief. It is no wonder that student’s moral problem has risen. Undoubtedly, it is the main responsibility for moral education to promote morality of the students. Students’ morality is a unified whole which is comprised by moral knowledge, moral feeling, moral will, moral belief and moral behavior.

On the analysis of the structure about character, there are five factors that contribute moral character to a whole. It can’t form a complete moral character if lacks of any kind of factors and among five elements are not random, but a harmonious unity. The relationship among various factors is complex. Character has a relative stability once formed, but it is variable. The variability reflects in the different age stages and there are differences among individuals.
