That influence manifests itself in many aspects such as family culture, village culture, customs and habits, etc. Not to mention the negative effects such as the idea of ​​respecting men and disrespecting women, featuring patriarchal characteristic and strictly classifying status, Confucian ethics plays an important role in moral education, cultural family and new countryside construction. Therefore, research on the presence and influence of Confucian ethics on the social life of rural areas in the Red River Delta would be meaningful; through which we have precise assessments, ways to exploit the values ​​and proposals of some solutions to overcome the limitations of Confucian ethics and better the cultural life of the rural people.
