I. What is honesty and integrity? From the moral category, integrity is to treat people with sincerity, honesty, credibility, words must be acted on, act must be fruitful, a word of honor, a promise is a thousand pieces of gold. In the "Shuowen Jiezi" in the explanation is: "sincere, letter also", "letter, sincere also". It can be seen that the original meaning of integrity is to be honest, sincere, trustworthy, trustworthy, against concealment and fraud, against shoddy counterfeiting, against falsehoods.

Two, integrity: from tradition to modernity

Sincerity, is an important ethical and philosophical concepts put forward by the pre-Qin Confucianism, and later became an important category in the history of Chinese ethical thinking. Until the time of Confucius, "sincerity" was not yet a theoretical concept. In the time of Mencius, not only has it been formed into a theoretical concept, but also its position is very important. He said: "Sincerity is the way of heaven; sincerity is the way of man. Sincerity and immovable, not yet there; not sincere, there is no one who can move." Here, sincerity is not only the highest category of the Way of Heaven, but also the law and know-how of being a human being. Xunzi utilized the idea of "sincerity" and pointed it out as "the basis of government". He said; "heaven and earth is big, not sincere can not be transformed into all things; saints for knowledge, not sincere can not be transformed into all people; fathers and children for kinship, not sincere is distant; the king for the honor, not sincere is mean, the sincerity of the gentleman's guardianship, and the basis of the government." In the Book of Rites - Zhongyong, "sincerity" becomes the core category of ritual and the highest state of life: "Only the world's sincerity is the most sincere, to be able to exhaust its nature; to exhaust its nature, it can exhaust the nature of man; to exhaust the nature of man, then it can exhaust the nature of things; to exhaust the nature of things, then it can be praised for heaven and earth; it can be praised for heaven and earth, then it can participate with heaven and earth. can be in attendance with heaven and earth." Sincerity is like God. With a sincere character and attitude, one can penetrate many kinds of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, become a man, and even be able to fulfill one's nature and the nature of things, praise the nurture of heaven and earth and participate in heaven and earth, and reach the realm of "unity of heaven and man". The "University" puts "sincerity" as one of the eight items, namely, to comprehend things, to realize knowledge, to be sincere, to correct the heart, to cultivate one's body, to unify one's family, to rule the country, and to pacify the whole world. "Sincerity" has become an important part of the sages' process of observing the will of heaven, cultivating one's body and mind, and ruling the country and the world. Zhou Dunyi of the Song Dynasty further regarded "sincerity" as "the foundation of the five constants and the source of all conduct." Sincerity, including honesty, is regarded as the foundation of the Five Constants of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trust, and the beginning of all kinds of good deeds. Cheng Yi more bluntly said: "I have not seen not sincere and can be good," its insights into the wood.

Marxist ethics critically inherited the category of "sincerity" and affirmed that honesty is an important norm in social ethics. Over a long period of social life, the main moral requirements of honesty have gradually become clear: loyalty, integrity and honesty. The main theme of loyalty is loyalty to the motherland, to the people, and to the just cause. Of course, this kind of loyalty is not blind and narrow "stupid loyalty", but to identify with the lofty ideals, in order to realize the ideals and unremitting pursuit and hard work, thus showing dedication, the spirit of sacrifice. Integrity means to be decent and to be fair and frank. Honesty, on the other hand, refers specifically to speaking honestly, doing honest things, and being honest.

Trust is also a category in the history of Chinese ethical thought. The meaning of "faith" is similar to "sincerity" and "truth". Analyzed from the shape of the character, the word "Xin" is derived from the word "man", which originally refers to the honest and undeceived words spoken to the heaven and ancestors during sacrifices. Jiliang, a great doctor of Sui, said, "Loyalty to the people but faith in the gods" and "The right words of Zhu Shi are also faith." Later, due to the development of private economy and the concept of private ownership, the original pure and simple society was gradually destroyed. Oaths had to be made for interactions between nations and people. However, the observance of oaths and promises still had to be maintained by the deterrent power of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods. During the Spring and Autumn Period, through the advocacy of Confucianism, "faith" began to get rid of the religious color, and became a pure moral code. Confucius believed that "faith" was the embodiment of "benevolence", and he asked people to "honor and trust". He said: "If you have faith, you will be appointed" and "If you do not have faith, you will not know what you can do". Confucius and Mencius both take "faith" as an important principle of friendship, emphasizing that "friends believe" and "friends have faith". Most of the people in power in the past have used "faith" as an important tool to maintain order. In Zuo Zhuan (左传)-Wen Gong (文公)4 years, it is said: "If a person abandons his trust and spoils his master, he will be in chaos in his country, and he will perish at home." Lüshi Chunqiu (The Spring and Autumn Annals of Lu Shi) analyzes the consequences of faith and unbelief in social life: "If the ruler and ministers don't believe in faith, the people will slander and the society will be in a state of uneasiness. If the officials do not believe, the people will slander the officials and society will be in a state of unrest. If they do not believe in reward and punishment, the people will be prone to violate the law and will not be able to make orders. If they do not believe in making friends, they will be separated and unhappy, and will not be able to be close to each other. If we don't believe in all the laborers, then the instruments will be bitter and false, and the paints and dyes will not be chaste. The only thing that can be used for the beginning and the end of a life, the only thing that can be used for honor and the only thing that can be used for meanness and poverty, is faith!" Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty listed "faith" and benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom as the "Five Constants", which are considered as the most basic social behavioral norms. He also made a detailed description of "faith": "To write about one's feelings and not to decorate one's faults is also a sign of faith". He believed that the "letter" requires honesty, consistency in appearance and behavior. Zhu Xi puts forward "benevolence encompasses the five constants", the "letter" as "benevolence" role and performance, mainly the way of making friends. He said: "to the truth of the said letter", its said and Confucius, Mencius is basically the same. In Confucianism, sincerity and faith are often used as one concept. "Faith is also sincerity," and "sincerity" and "faith" are very close in meaning.

It seems that traditional ethics treats honesty as a basic quality of human beings, and considers honesty to be a good strategy for gaining trust from others, and a cornerstone for establishing oneself and accomplishing one's career. In short, it is a code for personal life.

Although her mother knew that Guo Moruo was being filial to her, her son's behavior saddened him. From then on, Guo Moruo never stole anything from others.

Four, the role of integrity

From the philosophical point of view, "integrity" is a world view, but also a kind of social values and morals, both for the society and individuals, have important significance and role.

For a country, a society, "integrity" can be said to be the foundation of the country. The main body of the country is the people, the sovereignty of the country also belongs to the people. Since ancient times, China has "the people are the foundation of the state, the foundation of the state peace", "win the hearts of the people to win the world, lose the hearts of the people to lose the world" of the bright training, these words are still the most important words. But what do the leaders of a country rely on to unite the people? They rely on wise policies and spiritual beliefs, and "integrity" is the humanistic spirit and moral conviction to win the trust of the people and unite them.

For a social unit (such as a business), a social cause (such as an industry, a profession), "integrity" can be said to be the foundation of the business. "Integrity" as a universally applicable ethical norms and codes of conduct, is the establishment of the industry, between units and between people and mutual trust, mutual benefit of benign interactive relationship between the moral leverage. It is difficult to imagine that a unit or enterprise that does not speak honestly and keep its word will have a long-term foothold in a modern society governed by the rule of law. A social cause can only rely on the integrity of the business, in order to develop smoothly.

For each member of society, "integrity" is the foundation of the world, the treasure. Life in the world for decades, must continue to learn, in order to obtain knowledge, enhance knowledge, knowledge is not only an individual's livelihood tools, but also personal service tools for the community. However, in order to truly be a contributing member of society, it is not enough to rely solely on the tool of "knowledge", but must also be guided by the correct values, otherwise, knowledge may also become a tool to breed evil. The spirit of "honesty" is an important moral code that fosters noble moral sentiments and guides people in the correct handling of all kinds of relationships. Individuals who stand up for themselves with sincerity will be fair, impartial, and creditworthy, so they will be able to abide by the law, be bound by the covenant, and win the trust of others, and they will be able to properly deal with the relationship between people and people, and between the individual and the society.

We can say that the principle and spirit of "honesty" is the moral cornerstone for the healthy development of the socialist market economy; it not only plays an important role in promoting social stability and prosperity, correcting social customs, and curing social and mental illnesses, but also plays an important role in strengthening the personal morality of the members of the society, upgrading the civilization of the whole nation, and cultivating a knowledgeable and educated society. Quality, cultivate a generation of citizens who have knowledge, have the ability to act, moral, law-abiding generation has an important role; it is the foundation of the country, the foundation of the industry, but also a personal life of the spirit of the magic treasure.

Fifth, how to abide by the integrity

We young people to do to abide by the integrity, we have to speak to their own words to take responsibility and obligation, words must have faith, a promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Promise others things, must be done. With others agreed to meet, must be on time. When you go to school or participate in various activities, you must be on time. We should know that promises are very prudent behavior, should not be done or can not do things, can not easily promise, once promised, we must strive to fulfill. If we break our promise, we are demeaning ourselves. If we are in the process of fulfilling the promise that the situation has changed, so that we can not fulfill their own promises, we have to truthfully explain the situation to the other party and apologize. This is completely different from the words of faith is two things, so that the establishment of integrity to start from the little by little.

We have to inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of scrupulous integrity, but also to the "jianghu righteousness" and scrupulous integrity to distinguish, recognize the "jianghu righteousness" of the substance and the harm, not to be contaminated by the bad customs left over from the old society, to do scrupulous integrity.

Honesty is the basic principle of doing things, and is the rule of the country must comply with the norms, regulating the relationship between people, maintaining the social order.

Being a person needs integrity, integrity to win the dignity; business also needs integrity, integrity to win the market.

(a) integrity is the fulcrum of morality to support the community

Integrity is one of the important elements of China's traditional ethical culture, "integrity, the world's knot also" is to say that speaking in good faith, is the world's code of conduct of the key. In China's traditional Confucian ethics, integrity is regarded as a condition of governance and must comply with the important moral norms. Ancient sages and philosophers have many elaborations on integrity. For example: Confucius's "faith is a person's appointment" "since ancient times there is death, the people do not have faith can not stand" "people do not have faith, do not know what is possible" "the people in good faith and stand"; Mencius on integrity "Mengzi on integrity "to the sincere and immovable, not yet there is; not sincere, there is no one who can move"; Xunzi believes that "the heart is not good at sincerity"; Mozi said that "the will is not strong wisdom can not reach, the words do not believe that the action is not fruitful". The letter of the line is not fruitful"; Laozi integrity as an important criterion of life behavior: "light promises will be less trustworthy, more easy will be more difficult"; Zhuangzi is also very important integrity: "true, sincerity of the most also. If you are not sincere, you can't move people". Zhuangzi "true" as the sincerity of the ultimate, not fine not sincere, can not move people, which raises the integrity to a new realm; Han Fei Zi that "trickery is not as good as honesty". In short, the ancient sages and philosophers celebrated integrity as a noble virtue, vividly showing the value and status of integrity in the minds of Chinese people. The reason why people have attached so much importance to the principle of integrity from ancient times to the present is that both honesty and credit are the basic ethical norms to be followed by people in their relationships with each other, without which there can be no morality. So honesty is the fulcrum of morality that supports society.

(2) Integrity is the morality of legal norms

The principle of integrity gradually rises as a legal principle from Roman law, and was later inherited and developed by the important civil law in the history of the legal system, such as the French civil law, the German civil law, the Swiss civil law, etc., for example, the second article in the General Principles of the Swiss Civil Code stipulates that: "Anyone who is honestly exercising their rights and fulfill their obligations."

Honesty and trust is also an important basic principle of China's current laws, which is clearly stipulated in the General Principles of Civil Law, Contract Law, and Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law. Because of its wide scope of application, other legal principles have a guiding and overarching role, so also known as the "imperial rules", see "honesty and credit" is not a general moral code. In the honesty and credit become legal norms, violation of which will be subject to a legal responsibility or adverse legal consequences, such legal consequences can be property, can also be personal; can be civil, administrative, and even penalties. Therefore, honesty and credit is again the fulcrum of the law that supports society, and is the morality of legal norms.

(C) honesty is the plan of governance

Honesty in politics, you can win the trust of the people, so that the political and human harmony. If the words are not trustworthy, cover-up, false, society can not be stabilized. Ancient "the crime of deceiving the king", "deceiving the king" is not only an affront to dignity, and will mislead the decision-making, the country and the people. "Deceiving the people" is also not acceptable, which is why it is said that "water can carry a boat and it can also capsize a boat". In ancient China, there is a good story of Shang Yang standing on a tree to establish trust, and there is also a beacon fire to play the vassals who do not speak honestly and suffer the consequences. Ancient Chinese thinkers even took "integrity" as one of the main means of ruling the world. Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, integrity is said to be "the outline of the country", visible "integrity" of the important.

Currently, the party and the state put forward the "rule of the country by virtue", is the embodiment of the integrity of the government, but also to our country's excellent political thought of the inheritance and carry forward. The implementation of the "rule by virtue", the implementation of the "Outline for the Implementation of Civic Moral Construction", and the promotion of the spiritual quality of honesty and trustworthiness in the whole society is the inheritance of the fine tradition, but also the requirements of the times.

(D) honesty is the foundation of the industry

Integrity is the way for people, is the foundation of the establishment, is the basis of mutual trust between people. Speak credibility, trustworthiness is a constraint on ourselves and requirements, but also outsiders to us a hope and requirement. If a practitioner fails to be honest and trustworthy, then the social organization or economic entity he represents will not be trusted by people, and will not be able to have economic interactions with the society, or will lack appeal and responsiveness to the society. Therefore, honesty and trustworthiness is not only a social virtue, but also a professional ethic that any practitioner should abide by.

Honesty and trustworthiness as a professional ethics, for an industry, its basic role is to establish a good reputation, to establish the industry image worthy of others' trust. It reflects the social recognition of the value of an industry in its past professional activities, thus affecting the status and role of the industry in future activities. "No man without faith can not stand", for an industry, the same only to keep promises, moral character, in order to fundamentally do a good job of the industry brand, set up a good image of the industry.
