Confucian classic "The Analects",which has an important position in the history of Chinese civilization,is highly respected for self-cultivation.The self-cultivation thought contained in the book provides a systematic and complete self-cultivation principle and method for individuals to perfect themselves,shape ideal personality,and promote people’s free and all-round development.General

for the creative development of ideological and political education in colleges and universities.Cultural heritage,provide methods and paths to realize the benign combination and common development of

ideas,methods,innovations and shortcomings of the topic research.The second part mainly introduces the purpose,content and method of self-cultivation in "The Analects".The purpose of self-cultivation is to know shame,show courtesy,and perform benevolence,be able to discern honor and shame in daily life,understand the rules,and consciously practice benevolence.The content of self-cultivation is mainly discussed from four aspects.In the individual’s self-study,we must strive to cultivate oneself and peace of mind,practice filial piety in the family,respect loyalty and courtesy when serving

and life experience.This self-cultivation method still has a guiding significance for the ideological and political education of our country today.Based on the actual situation of current ideological and political education and based on traditional self-cultivation ideas,this article puts forward several suggestions for the development of ideological and political education in colleges and
