Abstract：Ruling the nation with virtue is a tradition of Confucian's ethical politics. It has many scientific and rational contents but exists some defects inevitably as well.

To carry out the ruling, strengthening moral construction of our cadres, citizens and our systems are the three basic aspects, which are not contradictory to each other.
