The study of family used to be mainly analytic on the phenomenon and was carried out to understand the actual conditions.Thas it is hard to establish the identity of family and to present its objectives.From this critical mindset，we tend to get the true character of family through Confucian family values and find the future vision.All practical ethics of Confucianism begins with family.In that sense，family is the center of Confucian community.In Confucianism，family is ‘ethical community’ and family members are understood as relative self.Therefore，for Confucianism，the purpose of family is to practice and provide ethical actions.Confucianism takes the relationship among family members to be very important and extends it to the community and the nation.With this Confucian family value，we can see the positive possibility of overcoming human alienation and relational humanity.In spite of these positive Confucian family values，there are negative traditional culture values，and thus there is difficulty in applying it in modern society.Their future-oriented and self-renewal values deserve attention.
