"仁"、"礼"、"信"是中国儒家道德文化的核心概念,三者之间存在价值互融共生关系。其中,"仁"是道德根本,具有为人、贵生、爱人以及与自然"天人合一"的终极价值;"礼"是"仁"的外在表现形式和系统道德规范,守规、养德、经事是其直接社会功能;"信"是"礼"的价值延伸,铸造理想人格、促成和谐人际交往是其重要意义。解析它们的价值既是对儒家道德文化的再发掘,也是对当代道德教育的深刻启发。

Benevolence,Propriety and Trust are central concepts of the Confucian moral culture,and they exist in a value inter-integration symbiotic relationship. Benevolence is the fundamental moral and takes on the ultimate value of being a human,cherishing life,caring for others and integration with nature; propriety is the exterior forms and systemic moral norms of Benevolence,and observing rules,self- cultivation,conducting social affairs are its direct social functions. Trust is value extension of Propriety and its significance is to cultivate noble personality and promote harmonious interpersonal relations. Interpreting the Confucian values is re-exploring the Confucian moral culture and is enlightening to contemporary moral education.
