Confucius put forward the moral communication proposition of"Restrain oneself to Rite as Benevolence",and advocated that in the process of interpersonal communication,the inner"Benevolence"should be stimulated into practical and tangible moral empathy,so that people can have self-identification and conscious obedience to the moral norms of"Rite".Confu-cius believed that the body,as the carrier of human natural life and ethical life,is the medium of communicating"Benevolence"and"Rite".The body has always been involved in the personality shaping of the receiving subject in the way of"stealth",and its media function is not only instrumental,but also existential.Through the ritualized communication of"Rite",the posture and behavior of the body can be symbolized into the meaning of"Benevolence",so as to activate the moral consciousness of the ac-cepting subject and form the consciousness of moral norms.Nomenclature is the symbol intermediary of communicating"Rite"and"Benevolence".Through"Correct Name"to reconstruct the relationship between Nomenclature and"Benevolence",so that"Rite"can effectively restrain individual behavior.This is the primary problem of reconstructing the Rite system and political and social order.
