Study on the Rich Connotation, Contemporary Value and Practical Path of the Spiritual Pursuit of “Carrying Things with Kindness, Promoting Virtue and Spreading Morality”

Abstract

As one of the important elements of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, “carrying things with kindness, promoting virtue and spreading morality” has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes of life and cohesion of the core essence of the traditional moral concepts of the Chinese nation. The essence of the spiritual pursuit of “carrying things with kindness, promoting virtue and spreading morality” lies in the emphasis on profound virtue and a tolerant mindset, carrying all things and tolerating differences through one’s own moral cultivation and behaviour, and actively carrying forward and spreading the light of morality, thereby promoting social harmony and development. The spiritual pursuit of “carrying things with kindness, promoting virtue and spreading morality” is highly compatible with the core socialist values of the new era, which not only deepens the cultivation of personal moral quality, but also promotes the harmony and common progress of society, and is of great significance and value in terms of theory. On the practical level, this spiritual pursuit plays an important role in shaping the individual’s inclusive mentality and broad-mindedness, and can effectively improve people’s moral level and sense of responsibility, thus further promoting the in-depth development of spiritual civilisation in the new era.
