“Embracing the world with virtue” and “embodying moral integrity while upholding the moral order” – these two phrases represent the Chinese nation’s value tradition of moral reverence. In the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC), Chinese civilization began to hold virtue in high regard. Successive dynasties added new layers to this tradition and wove it into the fabric of China’s political framework, education system and ideals of moral personhood, forming a complete set of ethical practices. This pursuit of morality has inspired individuals to achieve self-transcendence and served as the spiritual foundation of China’s enduring civilization. Its value endures and shines brighter through time. Watch the video to learn more.
