The moral education thought in 20 15% short story The Book of Rites and its modern enlightenment Qiao Zhen's moral education thought is the most important core category of China's Confucianism, which has a far-reaching influence on China's politics, economy, education and culture. Among many Confucian literary works, the Book of Rites discusses moral education most comprehensively and systematically, and its moral education contents complement each other and advance layer by layer, forming an organic moral education system. As the earliest monograph on moral education, The Book of Rites focuses on the Confucian ethical and moral education system, including the discussion of moral education objectives, moral education approaches, moral education methods and attitudes. It can be said that it is the essence of early Confucian moral education thoughts, leaving valuable wealth for ideological and political education in modern society, and at the same time giving more enlightenment, which is worthy of in-depth consideration. 1. The thought of moral education in The Book of Rites is the reflection of Confucian school on values and moral education in the historical era of "the collapse of rites and bad music", which carries the cultural essence and academic thought of Confucianism in moral education and contains a perfect moral education system and content. His moral education thought is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the moral training goal of cultivating gentlemen's "integrity and honesty" is clearly defined in the Book of Rites. The "noble spirit" mentioned by Confucianism refers to a subjective mental state, which is the most rigid spirit between the individual "born with righteousness" and heaven and earth. It is said in the Book of Rites that "noble and upright" can be "lofty", which shows its importance. In the system of moral education, Confucianism regards "noble spirit" as the moral integrity and integrity of the highest moral realm, that is, individuals reach the moral height of "the sum of morality, order and light", and patriotism is the concentrated expression of this noble spirit. It is under the cultivation of the moral education goal of "high morality and good morals" that the pre-Qin Confucians can take "the world is public and the outline is big" as the mainstream moral standard and cultivate individuals who are loyal to the public. Under the goal of moral education, Confucian scholars from Mencius and Xunzi to Fan Zhongyan and Gu can gain lofty moral trust. At the same time, The Book of Rites regards Confucianism's "benevolence and the golden mean" as the value pursuit of moral education, advocates the value system of moral education with the unity of benevolence and propriety, and emphasizes that propriety is the external form of morality, while benevolence is the deepest pursuit of moral education. In addition, The Book of Rites also points out that to achieve the moral education goal of "integrity and honesty", individuals must "weigh their own affairs", that is, individuals must perform their duties in an orderly manner and shoulder their social roles. For example, in the Book of Rites, it is said that "the father is kind, the son is filial ... and the minister is loyal", that is, the discipline and ethics that moral education must abide by, as well as the individual's own moral cultivation. The Book of Rites aims at cultivating a noble and upright gentleman, interprets the Confucian moral understanding of benevolence, cultivates a gentleman's demeanor, and highlights the Confucian pursuit of higher morality. Secondly, The Book of Rites clarifies the cultivation of multidimensional moral content in moral education. The Book of Rites defines the content of moral education from two aspects: philosophy and ethics, which makes the connotation of morality more systematic. Philosophically speaking, the Book of Rites holds that morality is the grasp and understanding of objective laws and rules. The article "Rites" says that "Heaven teaches, and saints have virtue."
