During the modern bourgeois revolution of China, Liu Shipei devoted himself to the modernization of ethics. He mercilessly castigated social morality and personal morality of the feudal ethics and exposed the profound historical reasons for it and distinguished their connotations theoretically. He put emphasis on reconstructing morality with social morality as the core on the basis of cultivating personal morality. His thought takes on obvious charateristics of anti-feudalism and is helpful to shape the modern ideal personality. It exerts positive influence on the modernization of traditional ethics of China.
