For the pre-Qin Confucianism,the mission of philosophy is to make people perfect personality that saints.The pre-Qin Confucianists call it "benevolence" that the process of the perfection of the sage personality will be carried out under the multiple dimensions of loyalty,filial piety,righteousness,courtesy,and so on.The origin of human benevolence in the people,not by the outside,the theory of human nature through the pre-Qin Confucian scholars into the logic of the logical starting point,from the Confucius thought that the custom makes the near nature become different to the emphasis on the moral attribute of the subject ’s mind,to Mencius made a priori presupposition of kindness,and then to Xunzi explored the logical relationship about the natural attributes of the human desire and the main achievement of their own and social values of the moral pursuit,attention to the actual effect or emphasis on the main behavior of motivation,which shows a different value tendency.The pre-Qin Confucianism is the gentleman of the scholar ’s subject,and the filial piety and the courtesy have become the definition standard of the different value dimension of emotion and reason in the space field of family and society.Pre-Qin Confucianism attaches importance to filial piety and funeral and its life behind the gratitude and awe,filial piety ethic as the construction of the value of the emotional system of emotional support,and the further implementation of Confucian values to other life experience level,the realization of the main value of the system also need to rely on the constraints of the system.From the individual,the family,the different subjects defined by the country from the self-cultivation,maintain the family and the rule of the content of the provisions of the individual from the moral and social ethics to the functional range from the ethical and institutional norms of the form of conversion,the courtesy has been as a pre-Qin Confucian program the concept of justice in its ideology and concrete implementation of the specific implementation of the value of the practice of functional norms.Loyalty and forgiveness as a consistent principle of value embodied in the pre-Qin Confucian "benevolence",and people of benevolent and justice face life and morality,righteousness and selfish choice has always adhered to the value of the position and personality beliefs.In contrast to the nature of tools to raise the body,the pre-Qin Confucianism insisted that the main body of the moral to the whole,no matter when the right value as the pursuit of the absolute value of the existence.Heaven and human relations has always been the pre-Qin Confucianism retrospective value according to the value of the right and wrong assessment.Yi Zhuan redefines the value and reason of "heaven",and uses the value of heaven as the subjective body of human resources,so that the moral principle of pre-Qin Confucianism and the construction of the value of personality can be established.The doctrine of the mean is the logical premise of the nature of the subject,for the pre-Qin Confucian value system to establish the mind of the body,the middle of the value orientation also makes the main body beyond the personality gradually formed.In the pre-Qin Confucianism,the gentleman ’s personality has the concept of the perfectness and the fact of the history.The character of the gentleman as a pre-Qin Confucian class for the ideal personality model,its own concept of perfection is no doubt.However,the ideal model of the Confucian scholar’s personality is by no means equivalent to the real existence of the historical facts.The typical historical facts of the gentleman’s personality are manifested in the form and the subjectivity of the different types of subjects of the different levels of implementation in the various stages of Chinese history.When the value ideal is implemented at the realistic level,the pre-Qin Confucianists will be included in the construction of their own value system,making governance the world become the subject of self-improvement sage personality value orientation.In terms of civilized education,the preQin Confucianism to the world is a value of faith and moral ideals,"governance the world" is bound to make civilization enlightenment power the quartet.However,governance the world of the Confucian to see more of its morality can not do for the moral,is to adhere to the inevitable belief and must be completed to the sense of mission.At the level of ultimate concern,Confucianism,as the moral ideal of the spiritual realm of the subject,has its own eloquent value in promoting the subject’s learning morality,improving the realm of life and improving the moral character.The ultimate polarity and transcendence of benevolence ideals determine the supreme position of the ideal itself,and the gap between the reality makes it difficult to compromise with reality.With the evolution of history,the pre-Qin Confucian value system also showed a corresponding historical evolution.In the Western Han Dynasty,Dong Zhongshu made Confucianism "unification" thought on the stage of history,Dong Zhongshu inherited and transformed the pre-Qin Confucian value system to carry out the study of Heaven as the core,to theology the concept of the form,to the characteristics of the system for the purpose of the pre-Qin Confucian philosophy of virtue and deeds of the inheritance,integration,reengineering,to implement the process of guiding the actual political operation.In the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty,the official ideology of Confucianism was established,which made Confucianism encounter the ideal opportunity to pursue the benevolent government.Hundreds of Confucianists were restricting the abuse of imperial power,stable social order and other aspects of the decisive role as authoritarian imperial power.On the basis of the traditional inheritance of the value kernel of Confucian moral idealism,NeoConfucianism shows different value tendencies from the aspects of virtue,so as to give the system of different values and positions to the Confucian value system in their own mode of thinking argument.From the generation of the universe to the philosophical ontology,from the cultivation of the spirit to the spiritual realm,from the moral rational thinking to the ethical social practice,intended for the value of the subject of moral,political and social activities to establish axiom.Confucianism tends to be the subject of individual personality education,the main body of the individual is not confined to their own personality,but needs to start out,not only for their own positioning value,but also to people,the relationship between people and the world,has in mind gratefully and the heart checks and reveres.This kind of value faith exists as a pure idea in the hearts of every people,even now and in the future can not be fully realized,but "not to be able to but look forward to it" spiritual comfort force has always been a role.For the individual or the country,no matter when the ideal can not be absent,the lack of faith,the lost of the value is a very terrible thing,individual mediocre decadence to the whole nation into a mediocre state of the future loss of confidence and hope.Now the people secularize the success of the value,and the success of the definition of the standard limited to the power and wealth,chasing fame and fortune to become the vast majority of the current goal,people are dwarfed as a tool for the existence of the purpose of the name and benefit at the expense of willingness to make,do not know what the ideal is.In view of this,the traditional Chinese culture and ideology is precisely for the current Chinese people back to nature to provide value to the point,and the pre-Qin Confucian value system is naturally become the source of the Chinese people really served.
