Abstract

Like all philosophical schools and of course religions, the characteristics of the ideal human being have been described in detail in the Chinese philosophical schools. Although there is almost no belief in the existence of a perfect human being in the works of the elders of the Chinese schools of thought however, there have been many teachings on self-improvement and efforts to reach the position of an ideal human being. By enumerating the characteristics of "Jun Ze", the sage Confucius put him in the form of a model in front of the society and enumerated his moral characteristics and led the audience to acquire moral virtues. Although this term was previously used to refer to the aristocracy, it seems that after repeated repetitions in the words of Confucius, the term Junze appeared in the form of an ideal man or a word equal to an ideal man.After him and following him as the first teacher in ancient Chinese thought, other Chinese thinkers also used the same term when recounting the moral points and characteristics of an ideal man, and called it the ideal man and the characteristics they wanted. counted However, there have been thinkers who, by using words, names or other terms, have expressed a view of the personality and characteristics of an ideal or perfect human being and have introduced a model to the society, which we will also refer to in this research.The preceding text is collected only by using Chinese sources and tries to directly understand other languages ​​and translated sources, to get a correct understanding of the view of the Chinese thinkers before Christ on the perfect man or ideal man, and according to the outlook and worldview
