“儒家美德与当代大学生安身立命”这一传统论题具有强烈的时代诉求。这项研究既是对主流意识形态要求的呼应，又承载了一个重要的学术使命：如何实现中国传统道德规范的现代转化？这是两个密切关联的重大问题。本书选择了十余种儒家美德，主要涉及四个层面，其中，“公忠”、“正义”涉及人与国家的关系，“仁爱”、“孝亲”、“友爱”、“诚信”主要涉及人与人的关系，“明智”、“勇敢”、“节俭”、主要涉及人与自身的关系，“爱物”主要涉及人与自然的关系。这些美德皆是“有用的，有益的，反映真理的”、是“遗产中的精华”。

The traditional thesis of "Confucian virtues and the survival of contemporary college students" has a strong demand of the times. This research is not only an echo of the requirements of mainstream ideology, but also carries an important academic mission: how to achieve the modern transformation of traditional Chinese moral norms? These are two major issues that are closely related. This book selects more than ten Confucian virtues, mainly involving four levels, among which, "public loyalty" and "justice" involve the relationship between man and the state, "benevolence", "filial piety", "fraternity" and "integrity" mainly involve the relationship between people, "wisdom", "bravery" and "thrift" mainly involve the relationship between people and themselves, and "love things" mainly involve the relationship between man and nature. These virtues are "useful, beneficial, reflect truth," and are "the essence of the legacy."（AI翻译）
