China's traditional moral values

China's traditional moral values are consistent with traditional ethics.

Under this value orientation, the behavior of individuals under the laws they abide by will be truly free (as long as their choices conform to ethics), without having to face the choice pressure brought by the role conflict between traditional ethics and modern law. If the rational constraint of the legal system neglects or neglects the binding role of morality, traditional morality will be weakened before the law as a hard constraint because of its soft constraint nature, and the result is the decline of moral level and moral sense. In society, "social man" will no longer exist, and will be replaced by "economic man society". In this society, it will be a Hobbesian jungle life. At the same time, in order to limit people's opportunistic behavior, laws are constantly derived and become increasingly evil tools.

More importantly, China's traditional moral concept of pushing oneself and others (that is, "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you") will help to establish a moral consciousness of respecting the other party's rights, because pushing oneself and others' self-expansion is just as Fei Xiaotong said in "Native China", "When expanding oneself, others must first admit that the other party has the same nature as themselves." As an informal system or rule, traditional and habitual morality plays the same role as Smith's "invisible hand". Coordinate, standardize and restrain the behavior of China people.
