ABSTRACT
“The culture of our country is humanistic. It emphasizes moral cultivation in individuals. The goal of our culture is to nurture junzi, the gentlemen-scholar or humanist in Western culture. The way to nurture junzi is to overcome the individual desires inherent in human nature and develop virtue, wisdom, and intelligence through education. A true junzi is hard to find. In any given time, therefore, there are only a few junzi in a society, the rest all are just ordinary people, or the profane vulgar. I personally believe that to nurture junzi remains our cultural goal today. The more junzi a society has, the better it becomes. So in conclusion, Confucianism must remain the culture of our country. What do you think?” 1
