Facing the new requirements of the new era, ideological and political teachers need to cultivate and shape new people with the spirit of benevolence and consciously undertake the initial mission of moral education.

As the core of Confucianism, "benevolence" has rich connotation dimensions. Based on the analysis of the Analects of Confucius and other classic works, the connotation of "benevolence" is embodied in the exposition of "benevolent people love others" and "universal love for others", which not only refers to the closeness and mutual concern between people, but also shows the care and love for others and the public, and also reflects the moral quality and cultivation requirements of goodwill and friendship.

Benevolence is affection and virtue; It is both ideal and realistic. At present, ideological and political teachers need not only solid theoretical knowledge, but also kindness.

First, teachers of ideological and political courses should have fraternity. Different from pure "love", "love" advocated by "benevolence" is a kind of great love and fraternity, which embodies the love between people, people's love for things and the pursuit of truth and morality.

Second, teachers of ideological and political courses should be strictly self-disciplined. Facing the materialistic and utilitarian world, teachers of ideological and political courses should stick to their professional ethics, not be influenced by bad social atmosphere, and always demand themselves with their professional ethics and mission.

Third, ideological and political teachers should have noble moral qualities. Due to the particularity of ideological and political courses, higher requirements are put forward for the moral quality of ideological and political teachers.
