A BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Research on Confucian Morality in Pre－Qin Dynasty is common sense that Confucianism，as a unified ideology in China，takes a preference place in Chinese mind．There is dispute in the corresponding researches，but it is obviously irrational that the praise of Confucianism is absolute in the evaluation coordinates．Confucian moral philosophy shows humancentered value system in which human have a dominant position of all things．One result of this is to make human value their ability too much and hope to save the social world by their own goodness，which leads them to ignore thinking the security of social system．That leads human to form the behavior pattern of“themselves first，others second”and reflects their characteristics of selfishness．Thus，there does not only have the limitations of“the confrontation of good and evil”，“the opposition of virtue and desire”，“the resistance of appropriateness and benefit”but also the abuse of“the absence of codes”and“the narrowness of knowledge”in Confucian morality．That the flexibility and reality of moral itself is gone makes moral be away from human’s real life and hardly be put into practice，which should be alert and thoughtful．Clearly，Confucianism still has much useful thought for us to learn in terms of individual moral cultivation，but it also has many negative things in aspects of institutional culture．We must come out of the circle of Confucian morality to consider it and go beyond the boundaries of China to reflect and locate it．It is rea－1 sonable to evaluate Confucian morality by starting from the data，being based on the forefront of Chinese Studies in the world，letting the fact speak，and being in comparison with Daoism，Legalism，Mohism，but we must not dismember and locate it from an isolation point．Confucian morality is created in the developing process of Chinese society．Confucianism is the pride of Chinese culture．However，the modernization of China and the reality of China’s Ancient Civilization ask us to deeply revaluate Confucian morality．
