What is the meaning of integrity?

1, the meaning of integrity,\x0d sincerity, sincere, true; letter, honesty, not deceived. Integrity, honest and trustworthy. Integrity, as an ancient Chinese moral code, has always been respected and advocated. Confucianism "sincerity" as the highest moral category of nature and human society, that "sincerity, the way of heaven and earth, think sincerity, the way of man" ("Mengzi - Li Lou on"), that "the rituals so that the view of loyalty, trust, benevolence, righteousness, also". ...... letter so keep also" ("Guoyu - Zhou language on"). Confucius believed that "trust" is an important criterion for the interaction between friends, and regarded "trust" as one of the important manifestations of "benevolence", requiring "respect and trust", "respect and trust", "respect and trust", "respect and trust", "respect and trust", "respect and trust" and "respect and trust". "Honoring and trusting", and "Being careful and trustworthy". Later Confucian scholars developed and perfected the "sincerity" and "faith" of Confucius and Mencius, and they regarded "sincerity" as "the feelings of the saints" and "the most important feeling". They regarded "sincerity" as "the feelings of saints" and "the heart" (spirit) which is the most quiet and spiritual and motionless (Tang - Li Ao); they regarded "sincerity" as the supreme cosmic essence and thought that "Sincerity is the foundation of saints. The great Qianyuan, the beginning of all things, the source of sincerity" (Northern Song Dynasty - Zhou Dunyi); and even believe that the spiritual entity of "sincerity" has the role of the birth of all things: "Sincerity, self-completion, and the road from the road also. Sincerity is always the essence of things, and there is nothing without sincerity" (Zhongyong), taking "sincerity" as the general law of the universe, and elaborating on the relationship between "knowledge" and "action". The relationship between "Sincerity" and "Ming" (Wang Fuzhi, late Ming and early Qing dynasties). In short, in the thousands of years of Chinese civilization, integrity has always been as a "good virtue" for all levels of society respected; the light of integrity has always shone on mankind from ignorance to civilization, from farming civilization to commercial civilization. \x0d2, the harm of the lack of integrity \x0d Zi said: "people do not believe, do not know what can be". For individuals, integrity is the foundation of a person, is the basic code of conduct in the world, is the correct moral orientation of each citizen. From the point of view of cultivation, integrity is the sun rising within the human heart, can illuminate their own, but also can warm others; integrity is a golden key, can open the lock of the human heart, but also can open the door of knowledge and wealth; integrity blossomed with the beauty of life, life because of it and colorful, life because of it and colorful. For enterprises, integrity is the fundamental of its survival; for the city, integrity is equivalent to its development opportunities; for the country, integrity is the foundation of its prosperity, self-reliance and self-reliance. And once the integrity is missing, the harm is great. Mozi said: "If you are not strong in will, you will not be wise, and if you are not trustworthy in words, you will not be fruitful in deeds." Words once do not believe, people will lose the foundation, the enterprise will lose the root of survival, the city will lose the opportunity to develop, the country will lose the source of prosperity. Laozi said: "Light promise will be little faith, more easy will be more difficult." Integrity is the moral foundation for the sustainable development of market economy. Once the lack of integrity, the society will become fraudulent, market confusion, moral degradation, people's hearts are in danger. In today's society, the proliferation of counterfeit and shoddy goods, fake diplomas and fake degrees, fake political achievements and fake figures, credit fraud, fake news and fake advertisements are endless, which is a concrete manifestation of the lack of integrity. It is reported that China's annual direct and indirect economic losses caused by the lack of credit up to 585.5 billion yuan, equivalent to 37% of China's annual revenue, China's gross domestic product is therefore reduced by at least two percentage points per year. This shows that the lack of integrity will affect the development of society and hinder the progress of human civilization. \x0d3, modern integrity is the inheritance of the traditional integrity and beyond \x0d as the traditional virtues of the Chinese people, integrity and other good cultural traditions, different times have different characteristics, each era will give it a different connotation, will be branded with political, economic and class. As a moral norm, modern integrity is both the inheritance of traditional integrity, but also the development and transcendence of traditional integrity. Compared with traditional integrity, modern integrity has the following characteristics:\x0d First, the content of social life is more widely adjusted. The traditional farming society is a self-sufficient natural economy. Due to the limitations of the level of development of productive forces, backward transportation, information blockage, the scope of human activities is very small, the scope of human intercourse between people in winter is very narrow, the frequency of interaction is very low. Except for a small number of businessmen, the communication between the main groups of social life is generally limited to relatives, friends and acquaintances. Integrity as a moral norm, it is adjusted to the communication and interaction between people, if the adjustment of the main body is missing, the role of such norms on social life will be reduced. Zeng Zi said: "with friends and not trust?" The Book of Rites and Music: "To remove the falsehoods from the sincerity, the scripture of the rites is also." It can be seen that in ancient times, Confucianism respected the "letter" is also a friend of the "letter", in the "cultivation of the body, the family, the country, the world" of Confucianism, "letter" in the "letter of the world". In the Confucian doctrine of "cultivating oneself, perfecting one's family, ruling the country and leveling the world", "faith" is to a large extent limited to the level of "cultivating oneself and perfecting one's family". In modern society, the level of social productivity has been greatly improved, information flows freely, transportation is convenient, human society is gradually moving from an agricultural civilization to a commercial civilization, the scope of communication between people has been expanded, the opportunities for communication have been increased, the forms of communication and cooperation have been gradually diversified, and the objects of communication have also been expanded from familiar people to unfamiliar people. Especially in today's global integration, information networking, economic globalization, people to people, enterprises to enterprises, groups to groups, cities to cities, countries to countries are increasingly frequent exchanges and cooperation. Integrity as a moral code of adjustment has been extended to all aspects of social life, from small acquaintances and friends of daily life interactions, to large national political and economic organizations and cooperation between the interactions. Modern integrity has transcended the traditional meaning of integrity, has a deeper and broader connotation, has been expanded from the level of "cultivate oneself and family" to the level of "ruling the country and leveling the world". The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) put forward the implementation of the rule of law and the rule of the country by virtue of the combination of national governance strategy, in which the important content of "virtue" is "integrity". \x0dThe second is that the lack of integrity is even more harmful. Due to the age of agrarian civilization, people's exchanges are mostly limited to relatives, friends and acquaintances, the traditional integrity is only in the "cultivation of the family" level, the lack of integrity is often to hurt the feelings of relatives, friends and acquaintances, the loss of friends of the "righteousness", is the lack of personal cultivation, is the Moral orientation deviation, is the degradation of human nature. Once the modern integrity is missing, not only will individuals lose their foundation, but also will affect the survival and development of an enterprise, a city, a country and a nation. A word is enough to build a nation, a promise is not only a thousand gold. A financial fraud, can lead to hundreds of millions of funds lost; a paper contract is not fulfilled, will make a business bankruptcy; a promise of breach of trust, can make a country discredited.
