老子的礼德观及其教育价值

Lao Tzu's Li View and its Educational Values

Lao Tzu's view about Li was less concerned about． But Lao Tzu's identity determined that he was unlikely to know less about“Li”． Lao Tzu described Li in his text，and he discussed Li in his moral system of “Tao，De，Ｒen，Yi，Li，Zhi，Xin”． Li was dominant in the third phase of decomposed De，so it had ontological characteristics． From the inner level，personality temperament cultivation of Li was characterized by respect and regard，bright accessible，calm，sensible and self-discipline． From the external rituals and institutional terms，the nature of the Li was conforming to the natural way of Sincerity and Ｒespect． Lao Tzu's Li was valuable for the continuation of Chinese ceremony culture，to help debug the individual's inner harmony as well as promoting social harmony．
