Abstract: Virtue is the core concept of virtue ethics, and it is the main basis for its norms. The problem is that, as a specific quality
characteristic of human beings, virtue is obviously difficult to avoid some entanglement with certain factors, which affect the existence
and function of virtue to a certain extent, so that virtue has a certain dependence on certain factors in affirmation, cultivation and
cultivation. The discussion of virtue dependence not only helps us to have a more complete grasp of virtue itself, but also helps us to
have a deeper understanding of the limitations of virtue ethics.

Key words: virtue｜ affirmation｜ cultivation｜ effect｜ dependence
