Abstract: This is a fact of no doubt that traditional ethics of the Confucians has separated from actual life, this makes traditional ethics of the Confucians to be vague and general for departing from the supporting of actual life, and makes actual life to be scattered and disordered for departing from the ruling of traditional ethics. Thus, we must construct a new morality to rule and guide. The new morality should be an intrinsic unity of properties of actual adaptability and reasonable transcendence and opening of world.

Key words: The Confucians, traditional ethics, actual life, differentiation
