孟子的德育思想建立在对人性的研究基础之上。为了有效实施德教,孟子对道德的起源、德育的目标、德育的途径等问题进行了积极探索,并由此形成了以性善论为核心,把道德修养放在首位,培养崇高人格的德育观。这些思想对于中华民族的社会、历史和文化心理的形成和发展,发挥了重要的作用。 Mencius’s moral education is based on the study of human nature. In order to effectively implement moral education, Mencius actively explored such issues as the origin of morality, the goal of moral education, the ways of moral education, and thus formed the moral education concept that takes the theory of goodness as the core, putting moral cultivation first and cultivating noble personality . These ideas have played an important role in shaping and developing the social, historical and cultural psychology of the Chinese nation.
