Abstract After conducting an in-depth and comprehensive research study of CAI Yuan-pei's book History of Chinese Ethics (1910) and other his articles and literature, CAI Yuan-pei paid very much attention to establishing a new framework for ethics, his process and practice of constructing ethics in China was much earlier than the works done by Hu Shi and FENG You-lan on the history of Chinese philosophy. CAI Yuan-pei's established new system mainly reflected in providing a new staging method, which divides the process of constructing ethics in China into four stages: Pre-Qin establishment, the heritage of the Han and Tang, the Neo-Confucianism of the Song and Ming dynasties, then Qing dynasty. He clearly pointed out that Cheng Brothers are a key link in the history of the development of Chinese ethical thoughts and emphasized the difference in thoughts between the two brothers caused the general trend of Zhu and Lu's Schools in later generations. History of Chinese Ethics is a masterpiece formed on mastering Chinese thoughts, transforming, and utilizing new achievements in contemporary international academic circles such as Germany and Japan. CAI Yuan-pei, as the author of the book, gave full play to his subjectivity, well-justified choices, and innovated coherently, which can be called a model of all.
