儒家思想的现实意义
现代人，虽说物质生活条件有所改善，但心里空虚，没有归属感。虽说是自由的，但有很多麻烦。这与缺少儒家智慧、缺乏自律道德有很大关系。一个人如果放弃儒家价值观(自律道德)，犹如西方的无宗教信仰的人一样，永远是个不健全的人。
用今天的话语来讲，在古代中国儒家思想就被理解为人类文明的核心。面对这些资源，现代人具有一个选择的自由，可以吸收资源里面的一些成分，也可抛弃一些成分。我觉得我们应该发扬我们中华民族最优良的传统，那就是包容，即古为今用，批判继承。儒家思想对我们究竟有什么现实意义呢？在批判继承和升华的基础上，我个人认为主要有以下四个方面：
（1）自强不息的精神和忧患意识。自强不息是中华民族生生不息永葆青春活力的不竭动力，忧患意识代表的是一种高尚人格，体现的是一种社会责任感和历史使命感。在现代看似和平的表面下我们国家仍然面临着很多挑战，比如“钓鱼岛”事件，我们应该时刻保持着忧患意识，同时我们应该自强不息，大力发展我们的国力。
（2）民本思想。当然古代“民本”的真正内涵，不是也不可能是人民的利益。今天我们剔除其封建内核，则可以从人民当家作主的角度来转化古代的民本思想，将其发展为人民的利益高于一切的社会主义观念。
（3）天人合一、人与自然和谐相处。对于提倡构建和谐社会的今天，儒家思想内涵里所包括的德治、人治和礼治思想，无不涵盖着和谐的理念。
（4）中庸精神是儒家思想的精华。中国文化就是以中庸精神为核心的礼乐文化。作为传统文化，人们认为“中庸精神”就是适度把握，按照适中方式做事，并力求保持在一个合情合理的范围之内。
（5）与时俱进的时代精神。儒家传统思想发展至今，之所以影响深远，关键在于它能根据统治者和社会的需要而不断得到改造，体现出与时俱进的时代精神。

The practical significance of Confucianism
Modern people, although material living conditions have improved, but their heart empty, there is no sense of belonging. Although it is free, but there are a lot of trouble.It have a great relationship with lack of Confucian wisdom, lack of self-discipline and moral. If a person abandon Confucian values ​​(self-discipline and moral), like the Western non-religious people, forever is not a perfect person.
With today's discourse is concerned, Confucianism was understood to be the core of human civilization in the ancient Chinese. In the face of these resources, modern people have a freedom of choice, can absorb some of the resources inside components, also can abandon some elements. I think we should carry forward the Chinese nation's fine tradition of us, that is inclusive, that is, to make the past serve the present, to criticize and inherit. Confucian thoughts have what practical significance to us? Based on a critical inheritance and sublimation, I personally think mainly in the following four aspects:
(1) The spirit of unremitting self-improvement and suffering consciousness: Unremitting self-improvement is an inexhaustible motive force for the Chinese nation to preserve the vigor of life and growth in nature. On behalf of hardship consciousness is a noble personality, embodies a kind of sense of social responsibility and historic mission. Under the surface of seeming peace in the modern，our country still faces many challenges, such as "Diaoyu islands" event, we should always maintain a sense of urgency, and we should be self-improvement, to develop our strength.
(2) The thought of the people: Of course, the real connotation of the ancient "people", not the interests of the people. Today we reject the feudal kernel, you can transform the ancient thought of the people from the perspective of the people be in power, its development for the people's interests above everything else the concept of socialism.
(3) The unity of heaven and man, man and nature live in harmony: To promote the building of a harmonious society today, including the thoughts of the Confucian thought in the rule of virtue, the rule of man and the rule of rite,it covers a harmonious idea.
(4) The doctrine of the mean thought is the essence of Confucianism: Chinese cultural ritual and music culture is the core spirit of the doctrine of the mean. As a traditional culture, modern people think "the doctrine of the mean" spirit is moderate, doing things according to moderate way, and strive to keep within the scope of a reasonable.
(5) The spirit of advancing with the times: Traditional Confucian thoughts have a far-reaching impact on our lives in today, the key lies in it to the rulers and the society have been transformed, embodies the spirit of advancing with the times.
