At present, the value revealed in the Universal Decla-ration of Human Rights is under attack, and the consensus on human rights value is experiencing division globally, which asserts that "hu-man rights can only be provided by paradox". The root of this is that"reason", the metaphysical nature of human rights proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is infinitely magnified while the "spirit" is ignored. History and philosophy show that the Univer-sal Declaration of Human Rights entails the Confucian ethical "spirit". At this time, this potential factor is gradually emerging in the course of world history and became a force to bridge the global division of human rights values. The significance of Confucian ethics "spirit" to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights lies in: from the perspec-tive of "spirit", its holistic view, bridging individual rights and col-lective rights; its relational view focuses on the realization of human rights and transcends the "paradox of human right; progressing from the value consensus to common action, so that in the process of judg-ing the progress of human rights in the world, we consider not only the value consensus, but also the common action.
