Universal Utilization of the Confucian Ethic refers to an ethic to be universally accepted in the future. The Confucian ethic philosophy addresses three kinds of relations, i.e. the relation of man to universe, man to man, and man himself to ideology. The Confucian ethic, being applicable to all aspects of life, families, races, nations and religions of all kinds, and compatible with the common interests and views of value, is qualified to become an ethic universally acknowledged. Moreover, it has gained a momentum at a higher level after the modern transformation of the Oriental ethics in the world's intellectual circle. The Chinese culture, enhanced with the increase of the China's economic strength, is now tuned to the world and the universal ethic entailed in the Confucian ethic will surely be further diffused and eventually benefit the whole world.
