The elements of honesty in traditional culture

"Moire is connected with the national movement and the context is connected with the national context." The incorruptible culture nurtured and developed by Chinese civilization for more than 5,000 years represents the unique spiritual identity of the Chinese nation. As the saying goes, "Don't be honest, don't be honest, don't be polluted, be clean". For thousands of years, the incorruptible gene in China's traditional culture has subtly strengthened the tradition of respecting the elderly and loving honesty, stimulated people's confidence in honesty, self-discipline and the right to use honesty, pushed people to pursue the political goal of incorruptibility unremittingly, and provided rich nutrition for promoting the comprehensive and strict administration of the party, building advanced political culture and creating a good political ecology.

The formation of clean culture stems from a high sense of clean. In the long historical process, the Chinese nation has gradually formed a conscious awareness of decontamination and self-purification, respecting the elderly and loving cleanliness. There is a saying of "six sincerity" in the Confucian classic "Zhou Li Tian Guan Xiao Zai", "Listen to politics and make six policies to govern the ministers. One is sincerity, the other is sincerity, the third is sincerity, the fourth is integrity, the fifth is honesty, and the sixth is honesty. " "Honesty is based on six things", and "honesty" is regarded as the standard for evaluating officials' political achievements and judging the pros and cons. The consciousness of clean government contained in the complex of honest and upright officials in traditional society lies in its own consciousness of obeying rules and disciplines. Historically, people expected and supported honest officials, and officials also took honest officials as their moral pursuit. There are also many corresponding policies and systems in the past dynasties, which pay attention to the evaluation of clean government and moral requirements when selecting and assessing officials. The official history of past dynasties is also the biography of honest officials. Sima Qian's official biography is the first in China. There are 20 biographies of officials in the twenty-four histories, recording more than 500 people. Officials were commended by the court for their outstanding achievements, loved by the people for benefiting the place, and recorded in history for their honest and clean political character. Such as Bao Zheng, Harry and Yu Chenglong. , it is "Soviet independence, horizontal but not flowing, selfless, lofty", their integrity and moral cultivation, not only in China's ancient official groups, but also in civil society, have become models. Many family rules contain the requirement of "honesty" and also warn future generations not to be contaminated with corruption. This inherent constraint and cultural inheritance eventually make honesty the most conscious cultural element of people, and deeply root the consciousness of honesty in their hearts.

The value of honesty gene lies in enhancing honesty and self-confidence. Cultural self-confidence is more basic, broader and deeper. Honesty gene has cultural self-confidence as its internal support, which will inevitably form strong honesty, self-confidence and integrity. The Chinese nation has always advocated "ambition in the world". "Zhuangzi Geng Sang Chu" said: "With the world as a cage, there is no escape for birds." Compared with the world, it shows the breadth of mind. China culture's sense of the world is to put the nation-state first and integrate the ego into the ego. If a person is interested in the world, it is difficult to be confused by interests; If a person aspires to the world, he will be fearless, have the courage to take responsibility, and develop a strong self-confidence force, which is also the pursuit of ancient literati in China. Qu Yuan said in The Songs of the South: "What are you afraid of if you aim high?" Zhu commented in "Notes on Songs of the South": "When a gentleman encounters something, his heart will not be shaken by foreign things, his ambition will not be narrowed by details, he will be fearless, and he will be satisfied with what he meets." It can be said that it is a clear explanation. Liu Xiang wrote in "Talking about Yuan Zhigong" in the Han Dynasty: "Governing officials is not private, and it is not good for the public." Zeng Guofan in Qing Dynasty said: "A gentleman takes tomorrow as his duty." All these people gave their lives to the world. Ambition is faith and belief. If you yearn for this world, you won't be happy for things or sad for yourself. Being confident, honest and confident are the same. The so-called "officials are not afraid of my strictness, but they are afraid of my honesty, and the people are not satisfied with our ability and work for us". Firmness, honesty and self-confidence can make people form a heartfelt belief and a deep-rooted belief in "honesty".
