As early as in China, "honesty" has become an important moral norm of our national ancestors.

As early as the Yin and Zhou Dynasties in China, "honesty" has become an important moral norm of our national ancestors.

The Chinese nation has a cultural tradition of honesty first since ancient times. In China's traditional moral system, the virtue of honesty is interrelated with other feudal moral norms, occupying a core position and becoming an indispensable moral norm for maintaining social order. All these are supported by the profound honesty culture in our traditional culture. Today's people can learn from the lines of ancient books handed down to this day that the ancestors of the Chinese nation paid attention to and practiced honesty.

Marxism scientifically divides the state of human society into primitive society, slave society, feudal society, capitalist society, socialist society and unrealized capitalist society.

Regarding the existence of honesty and morality in primitive society, we can find the answer from ancient myths and legends. Many documents and classics before and after the Qin Dynasty recorded a lot of myths and legends about ancient primitive society in China. In legend, both the Yellow Emperor and Fu Yi paid special attention to the virtue of honesty.

"Zhuangzi Ying" said: "Too much knowledge is true, and the son of man is not human." The "Qin family" here is the Fu Yi family. In modern Chinese, Fu Yi's wisdom is true, her virtue is true and trustworthy, and she is never bound by foreign things. China's earliest historical document (Shangshu) praised Yao Shunyu's honesty when describing the primitive society three generations ago.

If Yao Shunyu's honesty is only a primitive ancient myth and legend, then the self-discipline of the monarchs in the slave-owner society during the Yin and Zhou Dynasties is enough to show their conscious practice of honesty. Shang Tang, the founding monarch of Shang Dynasty, was an upright "holy king".
