China's traditional values mainly include:
First, the spirit of self-improvement;
The second is the concept of unity of knowledge and action;
Third, pay attention to people's spiritual life;
Fourth, patriotism;
Fifth, the spirit of pursuing truth and being brave in dedication;
Sixth, the ethical norms of unity and mutual assistance, respect for the elderly and love for the young.
There are also some moral virtues in the four books and five classics advocated by Confucianism. Together with the four virtues and five permanents, it constitutes a complete moral system of Confucianism, such as filial piety, neutrality and sincere respect. In ancient China, in actual social life, we only talked about filial piety, neutrality, sincerity and so on, which worked together with the P5, and they dominated our moral thought and life in China.

Modern inheritance and transformation of traditional values;
China's traditional values were formed in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Western Zhou Dynasty and shaped in the early Confucianism of Confucius, Mencius and Xunzi. In the Spring and Autumn Period, many values have emerged. In this period, there is no dominant concept that can lead various values. But in the late Spring and Autumn Period, one of the more popular morals was "loyalty" and the other was "wisdom, benevolence and courage".
At that time, loyalty and wisdom were popular throughout the Central Plains culture. By the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, benevolence was the most important virtue and morality in Confucius' thought. It should be said that "righteousness" was also valued in the Spring and Autumn Period, but its position was not very prominent. Including Confucius' thoughts, benevolence and righteousness are also much worse.
In the Mozi period, righteousness was highlighted and influenced Mencius. Mencius developed righteousness, juxtaposed with benevolence and formed benevolence. So from Mencius, benevolence and righteousness became the most important morality of Confucianism. It is well known that Mencius juxtaposed benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom into four virtues. After being respected in the Han Dynasty, it was added with "faith", which became the most influential belief in benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom in China's moral life in Chinese history.
