As an important part of Chinese traditional culture,Confucius' s ethical ideology has enriched content and rich connotation,and has a profound practical significance for its scientific combing and in-depth research.This paper discusses the origins of Confucian ethical thoughts and the main contents and characteristics of Confucius ' ethical ideology.The social function and the limitation of the Times,analyzed the significance of Confucius 'ethical thoughts and the research,and closely combined with current China actively promote the socialist legal construction,cultural power construction and construction of a harmonious socialist society,to explore the contemporary value of its present.From the origin of the ritual,it originated from the Primitive Society of Witchcraft,the people at that time very superstitious,all aspects of life are closely linked with witchcraft,people in the ritual of worship,must have music dance to cooperate,so there is the earliest ceremony and music.With the development of human society,after entering the class society,in order to meet the needs of social public affairs,as the social norms of "ritual music" system,through gradual evolution,perfection,development and transformation,its mysterious color gradually weakened,the political,ethical color gradually thick,its content is constantly perfected,and gradually formed a relatively complete and standardized "ritual." Ritual as a symbol of human civilization,ritual is a kind of order and emotion.From the operational level,the ceremony contains gifts,etiquette,ritual and righteousness three elements,from the ideology,ritual is rational,edge decoration,it belongs to a kind of order.Zhou Gong dan in succession and innovation Xia,Shang two dynasties on the basis of ritual,making ritual,the social life of all aspects,such as sacrifice,funeral,catering,living and so on,are incorporated into the "ritual" category,thus creating a set of rich,complete and extremely operability of the ritual music system,this ritual,and music,imperceptibly to restrain,influence and standardize the behavior of people,formed the ritual of the Zhou Dynasty.Zhou ritual content is rich and complete,all-inclusive,it retains the ritual of Godat the same time,further expand the etiquette of matters and enrich the content of etiquette,so that the ritual instrument covering the social political relations,hierarchical order,moral ethics,thoughts and feelings and so on,it is to uphold the patriarchal hierarchy and the relationship between the spirit of patriarchal principles and norms of words and deeds."Ritual disintegration and Look bad" is the background of the era of Confucian ethical ideology,which is formed by inheriting,innovating and developing on the basis of "Zhou Li and Loss".Confucius put the "Zhou ritual" from the "God rule" the idea of liberation,breaking through the ritual restrictions,advocating "ritual" civilians,Germany and the people,and put forward the "benevolence" "ritual" combination of thought,further clarify the "ritual" value connotation.The main manifestation of its ideological connotation"kejifuli","The Rectification","the decency",namely "the teaching" and so on,"knowing the line equally","internal and external repair","" benevolence-oriented "," retro "and"reform "is its main characteristics,the human external behavior of etiquette norms," ritual"management philosophy," ritual use,and for expensive "thought is the important content of Confucius' s ethical ideology.The application of Confucius ' ethical ideology is mainly manifested in the manners of morality,the rule of etiquette,the ritual and harmonic three aspects.Confucius Ethics Ideology has a wide range of social function and personal function,it is the first condition of personal self-cultivation,with the function of regulating interpersonal relationship,and the first criterion of administering an min,it can restrain people's behavior,edify people's sentiment and sublimate people's thoughts.In ancient China,influenced by the social economy,political system and mode of production,in order to safeguard the need of feudal class rule,later generations in the process of inheriting and carrying forward the Confucian ideology and propriety,let Confucius ' ethical ideology inevitably appear certain limitations of the times,conservatism,elaborate sex and hypocrisy,mainly manifested in the "punishment not to doctors,not commoners","Five Virtues","three obediences" and so on,the limitations of these ethical thoughts,in China's history has caused countless tragic and blood,It is a great obstacle to social progress,which severely binds people's thoughts and behaviors.Confucius Ethical ideology is the way of self-cultivation,is a gentleman's way,is for the political must,its ritual and the natural emotion and inherent moral consciousness are closely related,is the law and norms of social behavior,for the present society,has important contemporary value and extremely far-reaching practical significance.The main manifestation is that it helps to strengthen the current national rules consciousness,strengthen the construction of socialist cultural power,promote the socialist legal construction,and promote the construction of socialist harmonious society.Ritual "is the core of Confucian ethical propriety ideology,and is the important basis of rule consciousness." Confucius put forward "not learning ceremony,without the legislature",said oneself "70 and heart desires,not more than moments",really to comply with the rules and even accustomed to the conscious realm.On this basis,Mencius further emphasized the importance of rule consciousness,put forward "no rules,rules".These ideas have an important role to strengthen the consciousness of national rule.Through the study of Confucian ethical ideology and modern etiquette culture,we can find that Confucian ethical ideology has a very important influence on modern etiquette culture.Such as people's behavior,social etiquette and festive customs and so on,these etiquette norms for generations to influence the Chinese,and has become a unique Chinese temperament,etiquette culture has become the current China's strengthening of socialist cultural power construction of an important content.Confucius advocated "ritual",but from the exclusion of the "rule of law",he said that the main function of ritual is norms and enlightenment,but the law is the focus of the punishment after the violation of the ritual,the two complement each other.At present,China wants to promote the socialist legal construction,to achieve democratic rule of law,stable and orderly rule of governance,but also need to "law and etiquette",so that the rule of virtue and legal complement mutually.Confucius put forward "ritual use,and for the expensive","gentleman and different","Do,You" and "Heaven and Man" and so on ideas,talked about people and people,people and nature in harmony with the Tao,these ideas to the present building a Socialist harmonious society has a positive guiding significance.Confucius as an outstanding thinker,educator and ethnics in ancient China,his "ethical decency" thought,in fact,it is a code of morality theory,which is the ancient culture,he summed up the past ethical theory and related theories,rich content,perfect system,distinctive features,in the personal life and national governance have a very important role and significance.It is of great significance to understand the Confucian ethical ideology,to further the Chinese traditional culture,to promote the development of quality education in China,to construct the "rule of Law" and "rite" double social order,to standardize the social ethic and morality system which adapts to the needs of the times.
