Advocating a clean financial culture and purifying the financial and political ecology is the sacred mission of the financial industry based on the present and focusing on the future to ensure the sustained and healthy development of the financial industry.

First, the culture of honesty has existed since ancient times.

Clean culture is also called clean culture. Honesty, as the name implies, means honesty. The language "Zhuangzi said the sword": "The sword of the princes is to know the warriors and take the incorruptible people as the sword." People with lofty ideals throughout the ages respected and practiced honesty. Sima Qian's Historical Records Le Shu said: "Be honest and clean, be modest and courteous, and be a song." The original meaning of "Qing" is clear water, which is extended to purity; The original meaning of "honesty" is the corner of the hall, straight up and down, angular, and extended to integrity.

Qu Yuan, a great poet in the Warring States Period, said in "The Songs of Chu Evocation": "I am honest as a teenager, and I am honest." It means that when he was young, he was endowed with the virtue of being honest and clean, and devoted himself to morality. Wang Yi, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, commented in Chu Ci that "not to be honest, not to be dirty, but to be clean" means not to accept money and gifts from others and not to defile one's innocent character.

Since ancient times, China people have regarded "propriety, justice, honesty and shame" as "the four dimensions of the country", and "if the four dimensions are not opened, the country will perish". In the "four dimensions", honesty is the most important. Therefore, the later generations advocate the saying that "public life is bright, and honesty is prestige", from which we can see how important a clean culture is to clean politics and clean business.

In ancient times, social classes were distinct, bureaucratic thoughts prevailed, and "honesty" focused on self-cultivation. Keeping "honesty" requires noble aspirations and firm ideals and beliefs. Tao Yuanming didn't want to go with the flow and quit his job, so he had an independent personality of "picking chrysanthemums under the hedge and seeing Nanshan leisurely"; Zhou Dunyi refused official corruption, so he "emerged from the mud without being stained" and lived a clean and honest life; Wang Mian was indifferent to fame and fortune, leaving a much-told story that "no one boasted of lewdness, only the dry Kun was full of empty space". With his sincere revolutionary feelings and noble people's moral integrity, Fang Zhimin wrote the essay "Pity" in prison, revealing the clean and simple life of a producer. Even today, we can still feel the shocking ideological power brought by poverty.
