近善集 (Goodness Collection)

"人之初，性本善。性相近，习相远"是中华民族自古以来教子、育人的依据和准则，它既道出了人善的本性，也表明了社会追求人善的愿望。孔子云："行有余，则学文。"教育不仅是传道、授业、解惑，更是教人利他、助人、悦己。明德行善，积善成德是一项只有起点没有终点的未成年人思想道德建设工程，影响中华民族五千年的儒家的"仁、义、礼、智、信"，道家的"上善若水，厚德载物"等优秀道德思想仍然是当前未成年人乃至成年人应该继承和发扬的优良传统文化。"Men at their birth are naturally good. Their natures are much the same; their habits become widely different." This is the principle for Chinese people to educate their descendants since ancient times. It not only indicates the good nature of people, but also shows the good wish of the society in pursuit of goodness. Education not only imparts people with knowledge, but also teaches people to be nice to others. Doing the good is an everlasting project of cultivating the ideology and morality of juveniles. Confucian moral thoughts which have great influences on Chinese history are still the fine tradition and culture for juveniles and even adults to inherit.
