From an educational perspective, this article proceeds and tries to state how virtue ethics is applied on the theoretical and practical dimensions of moral education. Firstly, through exploring the thoughts of two philosophers, Aristotle and A.MacIntyre, we generalize the claims and features of both traditional and contemporary virtue ethics as the doctrinal foundation. Secondly, we explore the theoretical features of character education which are due to the influence of virtue ethics, including: 1.valuing all the rational, emotional, and active dimensions in whishes to achieve the unity of moral knowledge and action; 2.stressing freedom and care as well as achieving a wholesome personality of excellent quality through the middle way; 3.focusing on the process of moral cultivation and highlighting how to develop it in practical wisdom in order to make it a good habit; 4.noting that virtue is a social construct of multiple consensuses as well as the manifestation of inner good. Furthermore, as for the practical dimension of the virtue-oriented moral education, how the new moral educational movement is carried out and becomes on orientation in America is contrasted with how the moral education practiced for decades in our country is about to the be changed due to educational innovation, whereby we can contemplate about he factors that influence the practice of moral education. Finally, it is noted in this article, though the virtue-oriented moral education has its own features, there are still certain limits in theory and practice; therefore, such a moral education is a dynamic process and must be modified and renewed through the reflection and criticism in theory and practice so as to develop the profound thoughts about moral education and the vision of multiple reflection.
