Abstract:
Confucian humanistic concept has distinct ethical characteristics. Even the self valued by Song and Ming mind learning is not based on the affirmation of individual lust, but on the ethics of filial piety to parents and the transcendence of filial piety to the heaven and the earth. The love of human heart from the heart of the heaven and the earth shows the virtue of the heaven and the earth, which contains two important aspects. One is the benevolence endowed by the heaven and the earth, the other is the effort of human beings to reach the heart of the heaven and the earth. The love and respect of the human heart does not start automatically, but depends on the most fundamental teaching of the heaven and the earth, which is also the principle of human relations. In the root, the difference between human and other things lies in the difference of Qi endowment, which is the fundamental reason why human is more noble than other things, while the retention of the concept of the mandate of heaven maintains the transcendence of the humanistic concept. The Confucian idea of humanism is based on the idea virtue of life, so pursuing material fame and wealth is a behavior of self abasement and self deception, and also a derogation of the heaven and the earth. Confucian humanistic idea is not only an important supplement to humanistic thought in the global perspective, but also a good remedy for the shortcomings of humanistic thought under the influence of modernity.
