Moral education is an activity that takes the moral principles and norms of a certain society as its content, exerts a purposeful influence on people's ideas and behavior habits, and thus guides people to consciously fulfill their moral obligations.

Moral education is the fundamental way to cultivate, improve and perfect people's moral quality, including stimulating moral consciousness, cultivating moral feelings, establishing moral ideals, learning moral norms, forming moral habits and improving moral evaluation. Every link needs to be completed by families, schools and society.

Moral education should grasp the universality and particularity of educational content. In the socialist stage, loving the motherland, people, labor, science and socialism are the moral norms that all people generally follow, and they are also the basic contents of moral education for minors. However, in the moral education for minors, we should focus on the code of conduct education for primary and secondary school students, social morality education, collectivism education and preliminary professional ethics education, which are conducive to establishing good interpersonal relationships and modern civilized lifestyles, and cultivate their excellent qualities such as modesty, prudence, honesty, diligence and courage.

In the process of education, we should not only let minors understand some simple truths, but also put forward clear, specific and moderate moral requirements, carry out strict management and training, and guide them to complete the whole process of moral quality from foundation to cultivation in moral behavior practice.
