Research On The Creative Transformation Of The Traditional Concept Of "Loyalty"

The long river of history has been magnificent,and generations of Chinese people have created a brilliant China.With the rapid development of society and economy,the lifestyle and social interaction of Chinese people have undergone great changes,so have the moral standards and moral orientation,and the old moral system and value standards urgently need to be changed.The Confucianist lists loyalty and morality into the "six virtues",namely "knowledge,benevolence,sanctity,righteousness,loyalty and harmony",which shows its important position.Traditional loyalty and morality not only cover the moral of being a loyal person,but also require people to have noble political morality.The rich cultural and ideological values should be reflected in modern times.With the reform of the political system,the traditional loyalty and morality roughly experienced the following stages of development: the formation and development in the pre-Qin period,the praise and alienation from the Qin,Han and Ming dynasties,and the criticism and sublation in the modern period.The connotation of traditional loyalty and morality is rich.In terms of political loyalty,people are required to be faithful and patriotic,loyal to one’s heart,loyal to the job,and enlightened to save the world.In terms of loyalty to people,people are required to do their own people,treat people friendly,dedicated and dutiful character.Due to the limitation of historical conditions,the meaning of traditional loyalty and morality has long been biased to "a man with a mind".However,as one of the basic moral norms in ancient society,loyalty and morality have made indelible contributions to building national personality,maintaining social stability,limiting public power,protecting public interests and promoting social development.Therefore,the creative transformation of traditional loyalty and morality combined with the characteristics of the new era is the realistic need of traditional loyalty and morality facing the changes of The Times,the theoretical need of inheriting the excellent traditional Chinese culture,and the internal requirement of cultivating socialist spiritual civilization.At the same time,due to the inclusiveness of ideological culture keeping pace with The Times and self-renewal,coupled with the current policy guidance of traditional culture combining with the characteristics of the new era and the favorable trend of the people,the prospect of the creative transformation of traditional loyalty morality is foreseeable.Under the background of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era,the creative transformation of traditional loyalty and morality should also clarify the limits of freedom and equality,and follow three principles at the same time,namely,Marxism as the theoretical guidance,innovation as the practical direction,and exchange and mutual learning as the norms of cultural exchanges.In endowing loyalty and virtue with new meanings,it is necessary to make clear the difference between loyalty and foolish loyalty,private loyalty and false loyalty,and transform the object of loyalty into one that ADAPTS to modern society,that is,loyalty to the country,loyalty to the people,loyalty to the Communist Party of China and loyalty to the great cause.By vigorously carrying forward and cultivating the culture of loyalty to morality,integrating loyalty to morality into the whole process of national education,perfecting the social integrity guarantee mechanism,strengthening the supervision and publicity of public opinion,we can realize the creative transformation of traditional loyalty to morality,so that the contemporary value of loyalty to morality can be reflected in the society,that is,it is conducive to maintaining the unity of the country and the nation,guaranteeing the loyalty and honesty in the political field.We will promote the prosperity of the socialist cause and create a harmonious and orderly social environment.
