This study proposes a moral education method using conceptual metaphors for students' emotional and psychological health. Conceptual metaphors appear as metaphorical mappings from the source domain to the target domain, and have metaphorical implications and characteristics of highlighting and hiding. This conceptual metaphor contributes to emotion recognition, emotion expression, emotion regulation, and emotion formation. Conceptual metaphors make it possible to recognize emotions clearly and to express one's emotions in a rich and varied manner. In addition, it helps to maintain psychological balance by examining rumination, and activates emotions through new metaphors. A moral education method that uses conceptual metaphors helps students to pay attention to emotions and actively manage them.
