Abstract

With the rapid development of modern industry in China, people's lifestyle and quality of life have been significantly improved compared with the past. The strong appeal of social groups for a better life and strengthening the construction of spiritual civilization has become the vane to guide the new development of society. However, with the rapid development of social material civilization, people's spiritual civilization construction is becoming increasingly backward, especially the lack of compassion development of adolescent groups. Compassion is the true expression of human nature. It not only reflects the innate good quality of people, but also an indispensable part of modern spiritual civilization construction. Therefore, the construction of social spiritual civilization with compassion as the core is the key problem that needs to be solved at present. In order to promote the healthy growth of adolescents, and ultimately make the social development tend to the ideal situation of "harmony”. This study takes "compassion education" as the breakthrough point, takes the construction of spiritual civilization of adolescents as the goal, through the rational analysis of the value of compassion education, and clarifies the rational factors and basic strategies for the compassion education of adolescents. Compassion education is not only the natural root of the cultivation of citizen quality, but also the key element of the formation of pro-social behavior and altruistic behavior. It needs to be cultivated from the three aspects of adolescent emotional cognition, upbringing and reinforcement.
