先秦儒家的修养方法及其对自我教育的启示

Pre-Qin Confucian Cultivation Methodology and Implications for Self-Education

自我修养是提高个人思想道德品质的重要方法之一。先秦儒家为后代留下了尚志、笃学、自省、克己、慎独、力行等很多有价值的修养方法,这些具体方法按道德形成发展的不同阶段,可以归纳为道德养成方法、道德巩固方法和道德实践方法。先秦儒家的修养方法对当前的思想政治教育工作,尤其是自我教育的开展,仍然有着积极的意义。

Self cultivation is one of the important methods for an individual to improve his personal moral quality. The Confucianism of the Pre-Qin period has left for later generations many valuable methods of self-cultivation, such as apparition, sincerity, self-retlection, self-control, prudence, and practice. According to different stages of a person＇s moral development, these methods can be concluded as moral cultivation, moral consolidation, and moral implementation. These cultivation methods are still conducive to the current ideologi- cal and political education, especially self-education.
