The Significance of Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces in Real Life

On March 4th, when visiting the members attending the Fourth Session of the 10th CPPCC, General Secretary Hu Jintao clearly put forward the socialist concept of honor and disgrace with "eight honors and eight disgraces" as the main content. He should guide the broad masses of cadres and people, especially teenagers, to establish a socialist concept of honor and disgrace, and insist on "being proud of loving the motherland, endangering the motherland, serving the people, deviating from the people, advocating science, ignorance, hard work and hard work". Be proud of unity and mutual assistance, be ashamed of harming the interests of others, be proud of honesty and trustworthiness, be ashamed of forgetting righteousness, be proud of obeying the law, be ashamed of breaking the law and discipline, be proud of hard work, and be ashamed of arrogance and extravagance. "General Secretary Hu Jintao had a strong response among the whole Party and the broad masses of cadres across the country, and quickly set off an upsurge of learning the socialist concept of honor and disgrace.

As we all know, due to historical reasons, Chinese traditional virtues have been wrongly criticized, and gradually formed a kind of loss and prejudice against Chinese virtues in people's minds. With the reform and opening up, the impact of foreign cultures on people's ideology has made people lose the foundation of their beliefs and their spiritual emptiness. On the Internet, pornographic gambling and drugs in society, like all kinds of "viruses", are eroding the "skin" of society. The Chinese nation is an excellent nation with a cultural history of 5,000 years. As early as more than two thousand years ago, the ancients put forward the moral concept of "courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame". In the Song Dynasty, there appeared the "Eight Virtues" with the contents of "filial piety, loyalty, faithfulness, courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame", which became China. The "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" put forward by the General Secretary has set a new benchmark for civic morality, and organically combined the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation with the spirit of the times, which not only embodies the inheritance of traditional virtues, but also embodies the requirements of the times.
