在孔子时期之前,君子与小人的主要含义是统治阶级与被统治阶级的身份划分。在孔子时期,君子与小人被赋予了道德的内在含义,君子人格成为儒家推崇的理想人格。君子人格发展至今,使我们能够在浮躁的社会中,找到承载着中华民族传统文化之中的道德内化与人格修养的精神,帮助我们远离功利主义,恢复传统仁义道德具有重要的作用。 Before the Confucian period, the main meaning of gentlemen and villains was the division of the ruling class and the ruling class. In the Confucian period, the gentleman and the villain were endowed with the moral intrinsic meaning, and the gentleman’s personality became the ideal personality that Confucianism respected. The development of a gentleman’s personality so far has enabled us to find a spirit that embodies moral internalization and personality cultivation in the impetuous society and helps us to stay away from utilitarianism and restore the traditional morality of benevolence.
