This paper attempts to find the solution to the problem of emotional excess suffered by modern people in the Pre-Qin confucianism, which talked about traditional emotional discourse, especially philosophy that said the control for the proper expression of emotions while fostering a rich sensitivity. It is the task of systematically reconstructing how Pre-Qin confucianism handled emotions within the structure of virtue acquisition, which is said to be character cultivation. This work was naturally done by first examining what stutus does emotion has in the general framework of virtue ethics, how it can be taught(or developed), or how education(or development) itself is possible when considering the characteristics of emotion, and what similarities or differences there are with how the various virtues are acquired. Based on this, we reconstructed the way of cultivating the emotions of Pre-Qin confucianism, that is, the habituation method of emotion in a large frame of rule, emotion, and habituation centering on Li(the ritual) which is the typical style which advanced Pre-Qin confucianism utilized as the method of self-cultivation. These tasks will enable us to see how complex emotional control (or emotional education/training) is and how various factors are considered together, and will serve as an opportunity to review the theory of character cultivation in Pre-Qin confucianism again.
