Abstract
The realization of the all-round human being is conditioned by the change of social relations of production and depends on the education for the all-round development of human being. Education for comprehensive human development includes moral education, intellectual education, physical education, aesthetic education, labor and technical education, etc. Moral education is an important position for spreading, maintaining and building socialist core values, and a significant content of basic education. Moral education is a basic requirement for realizing the purpose of education in China and lays the foundation for cultivating high-quality qualified socialist citizens in China. Moral education has positive significance in promoting students' all-round development. It governs and influences the direction of students' development and has a guiding role in promoting their all-round development. Nowadays, the moral education work of school is responsible for the historical mission of cultivating qualified builders and reliable successors for the socialist cause. And it is an important guarantee for achieving national development and national rejuvenation. This paper takes the actuality of moral education work in the digital era as the entry point and analyzes the connotation of moral education work from three aspects: moral concepts and behaviors, moral education system and moral activities. At the same time, the teaching practice of The Prince and the Pauper is used as a case study to explain the process of "educating people with aesthetics".
