Abstract: Xiaoren(flunky),Shi(official),Junzi(man of honor) and Shengren(saint) are the basic types of Confucian moral personality.The four are living at different levels in terms of wisdom,morality,realm and value.Xiaoren is a wicked person,and he is just the opposite personality of Junzi.Junzi,the most important bearer of Confucian ethics,is the core of Confucian moral personality.Shi,the best candidate for Junz,is the beginner of morality.Both Shi and Junzi are the Confucian ideal personalities.The reasons to create Junzi and Shengren are different.The former is for the observation of the practical difficulty of moral cultivation,and the latter is for the consideration of the endless process of moral cultivation.
Key words: Confucianism, Junzi, Shi, Shengren, Xiaoren
