The range of Chinese Culture is extensive. I want to focus more on the research about Chinese moral and ethical values.
Well, at a glance, your topic is extensive, but when you clarify subsequently, you are more specific, and I am in a better position to offer my humble suggestion.
Chinese ethics originated from Confucius's Analects. You may read it for a start. Use the Late D. C. Lau's translated version, a Penguin publication. There is an introduction, if you feel that you want to know more, read Mencius translated by D. C. Lau, there is an introduction in front of the book.
D. C. Lau taught at SOAS before retiring at Hong Kong Chinese University
In addition, I would like to say a little more.
A. C. Graham's Chinese Philosophy is also very good Another Western scholar Ivanhoe's essay entitled Heaven as a Source for Ethical Warrant in Early Confucianism... to name just a few. Please be informed that every 5 years there is an International Conference in Honour of the 257Xth Anniversary of Confucius and xth of the International Confucian Association held in Beijing. In Its Proceedings, the last volume is always in English, where papers on Confucian ethics are compiled, quite bulky indeed! Hope it helps. To know Chinese ethics, de Bary's Sources of Chinese Tradition is a standard reference for beginners. Mei Kao Kow

I am glad that you have widened your scope a little wider, to look at Chinese ethics in the context of Chinese culture. I believe you can obtain materials in Chinese but it is not enough. Nowadays technology is very advanced, you simply key in the keywords and you will get the answers you want. Let me put it this way, Chinese texts are basic and important, but English materials with comparative perspectives are also important. Please pay more attention to each cultural tradition and be global.
