Abstract: In real life,people have many aspects of demands. The human demand is a nature of human being. The reason that the human demand can be the interior driving force of social development is that man has rationality. However, rationality is not only the cause of happiness but also the orgin of evil. It is rationality that makes people live in an eternal and inevitable unblance state, which causes deep contradiction between man and nature, man and category, man and oneself. These various contradictions cannot be got rid of in reality, so people often seek other transcendental ways, which is called belief. How to find man's spiritual home is becoming one of the most important issues for human beings. Confucianism, with its profoudity to life wisdom such as human existence, the value and self-development, demonstrates its positive meaning in rebuilding modern people's spiritual home.
