The ideas of Confucius have had an impact on today's society both politically and educationally.
1. Politics: Confucius Thought is of great significance to the construction of morality in the modern world.
Confucius's spirit of benevolence and forgiveness should be the central value of mutual respect and peaceful coexistence among all nations and countries in the world today. Confucius's advocacy of "harmony without diversity" should be the basic law for overcoming "Western-centrism" and "great power chauvinism" and realizing the existence of cultural diversity, the common development of ethnic groups, and the common prosperity of the country.
Taking "do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself", "establishing others as you want, and reaching others as you want" as the lowest consensus in world political thought, and looking at other countries and nations with the same kind eyes as Confucius towards others, we can achieve a "Taoist" Datong society.
In today's international community, the phenomenon of strong countries invading weak countries has intensified, economic crises have also occurred frequently, the earth's ecological environment has been seriously damaged, and the whole world is bred in hidden instability. The idealized construction of the moral system and the moral requirements for the individual in Confucius's thought are just right for the current social context, which has also been recognized by people of insight from all over the world.
2. Education: Confucius Thought has had a significant impact on modern education.
As we all know, Confucius attached great importance to education and put forward many important educational ideas: teaching students according to their aptitude, teaching and learning from each other, combining learning and thinking, attaching importance to practice, and combining learning with teachers. Some of these points seem even more remarkable today.
In the modern education that emerged in the West, technical education and vocational education are the most important contents.
Confucius's educational ideas are reflected in the book "Analects", and "engaging in politics" is the task of Confucianism, that is, "learning and excelling will lead to excellence". Therefore, under the influence of Confucius's educational thoughts, the traditional Chinese education system is aimed at cultivating talents for the governance of the country.
Confucius was regarded as the "Master of All Ages" by later generations, which is really due to the profundity and long-term applicability of educational ideas in his ideological system. To this day, many of the elements of Confucius's educational thought are still applicable to modern society.
Confucius's Ideas :
1. Confucius advocated the rule of etiquette and opposed the rule of law. The meaning of rites was very extensive in ancient times, referring to the etiquette and rituals of international communication, the crown, marriage, funeral, sacrifice, feast and other ceremonies of the nobles, including political systems, moral norms, etc.
2. Confucius advocated self-denial and retribution. "The Analects of Yan Yuan" records: "Yan Yuan asks benevolence.
Zi said: 'Self-denial is benevolence. Once said self-denial, the world will return to benevolence.
Yan Yuan asked what the specific content of "self-denial and retribution" was, and Confucius said: "Don't look at incivility, don't listen to incivility, don't speak incivility, and don't move incivility." ”
3. In terms of education, Confucius advocated the spirit of "teaching without class", "teaching according to aptitude" and "never tiring of learning and teaching people".
4. In terms of morality, he advocates "forgiveness, shame, trustworthiness, sensitivity, benevolence, gentleness, kindness, courtesy, thrift, and letting".

Confucius was a great thinker, and he founded the school of Confucianism. First of all, he put forward the doctrine of benevolence, that is, he demanded that the theocracers of the Wheel of Wang should be considerate of the people's feelings, cherish the people's strength, and not excessively oppress and exploit the people, so as to alleviate class contradictions. Second, he advocated ruling the people with virtue and opposed harsh administration and arbitrary torture.
His doctrine later became the orthodoxy of China's feudal culture for more than 2,000 years, and had a great influence on later generations. The words of Confucius have had the following effects on the world:
1. Confucius's thought has had a great impact on the philosophy, literature, art, education, and historiography of Chinese feudal society, and as an outstanding representative of Chinese traditional culture, this influence has spread to East Asia and even the world.
2. The history of China can be called the history of the influence of Confucius's thought. At that time, the "Four Books and Five Classics" became a school textbook, and every student had to memorize it by heart. The dogma of the ancient philosophers is deeply rooted in the hearts of the broad masses of the people.
3. Confucius's thought focuses more on life than on metaphysical thinking. Mr. Liang Shuming pointed out the differences between Eastern and Western cultures that Europe has been concerned with understanding everything in the universe since Greece, while Chinese are concerned with life itself. The basic point of Confucius's learning is to talk about the truth of life and life.

In today's society, with the development of the economy, under the imperfect legal system, people rely more on a vague morality that has been passed down for thousands of years to restrain their behavior, which also makes social contradictions more acute than before. However, the development of humanistic thought is in a trend of "going hand in hand with each other and promoting filial piety" with this contradiction. Therefore, it is not possible to alleviate the antagonism of society by simply relying on the strong functions of ** to control.
Instead, it should be a more gentle way. Therefore, Confucius's pure idea of moderation is "harmony but difference", "not envy the practice of manuscripts", and "walking with the times" has been rediscovered by people from the memory of history. In a harmonious society, only stability is the premise of all development.
Dogmatism and a simple legal system cannot fundamentally solve the existing contradictions and struggles in society, but Confucius, as an ancient man more than 2,000 years ago, saw the root of solving the problem from the limited world, which cannot but be said to be a miracle in the ancient Chinese ideological circles, which is also in line with Confucius's famous saying of "learning from the old and learning the new".
