Abstract:
The traditional society attaches importance to parent-offspring relation. The duty and kindness are established as the basic ethical norms, and the two are inter-affected so as to form a closed cycle of ethical utility. Ethical utility is nothing but the sanction of ethical norms, and the ethical utility of duty and kindness is the bidirectional sanction in which duty and kindness are put up in a cycle-by-cycle and generation-by-generation form. This bidirectional sanction, through the principle of “loving the close” and “respecting the respected”, with the circulating system of differentiated time and ethical order, and the family-and-nation-integrated social system, successfully adjustes and specifies the interest relation between parent and offspring in traditional society. As a result, the value target for guaranteeing the existence and continuity of consanguinity life has been realized and its great contributions of self-production and prosperity of the Chinese nationality have been made.
