Study Of Confucius’ Outlook On Life And Death And Its Modern Value

Confucius’ view of life and death is composed of his view of life and view of death.His view of life specifically includes his cherish of life,the pursuit of spiritual life,and the pursuit of the realm of life and meaning of life.Confucius not only treasures own life,but also treasures others’ lives.He believes that life is the basis for realizing moral life and political ideals.Protecting the lives of others is the part of the ideal personality.Confucius regards respect for life as the most fundamental manifestation of the realization of moral life.Therefore,he proposes that benevolent love the idea and to benefit others in the process of self-realization.He emphasizes that listen to heaven and regards the heaven as his mission.Confucius believes that the basis for measuring a person’s value lies in having a real reputation,and a person with both virtue and morality will naturally be famous.In addition.Confucius loves elegant music and enjoys the spiritual enjoyment of music,which express the life attitude of Confucius and his desire for a stable and orderly society.Confucius believes that the value of man is to realize the moral life.The realm of life and social value represent human value.Confucius sees life on the premise of knowing that people must die.There is limited life and morality cannot be abolished.Therefore,people must exhaust themselves and die.People are mortal.Recognizing this objective fact,people must do their best in their lifetimes,have no time to care other things,and fear of death is useless.Just do everything and listen to the heaven.For those who are busy with life,death is not a fear,but rather a gratifying relief.Death can be surpassed by the way that children and grandchildren proliferate,and immortality can be achieved in the form of continuation of blood and retention of future generations."Sacrificing yourself for benevolence" is another way to transcend death.Under certain circumstances,this death choice is the completion of the meaning of human life and the ultimate expression of "Three immortal principles".Confucius believes in the existence of ghosts and thinks that there is a post-mortem world.This is an inheritance of the concept of ghosts and gods in the Zhou Dynasty,but Confucius has no concrete explanation for people to make unreasonable behavior.The existence of ghosts and ghosts and the aftermath of the post-death world are not the most important.Confucius’ s fundamental purpose is to strengthen ethical order and moral education.Confucius pays special attention to sacrificial offerings.This is a continuation of the people’s lifetime values and is also the value of individual death facts relative to others.Funeral and ritual activities express their respect for parents and their respect for and remembrance of the deceased,and strengthen the order of respect and inferiority.Confucius’ view of life and death helps solve problems in the real world.
