Based on the knowledge of cultural inheritance and development, this paper analyzes why we should learn from the excellent anti-corruption culture in Chinese history.

Once a culture is formed, it will be handed down from generation to generation and continue steadily. This is the inheritance of culture. Without cultural inheritance, there is no cultural accumulation. Today's culture is developed on the basis of inheriting traditional culture. The inheritance of traditional ideas has a profound impact on people's values, lifestyles and development paths today. Only by developing the positive role of traditional culture and overcoming its negative role can the country prosper. Inheritance is the necessary premise of development, and development is the inevitable result of inheritance, which is two aspects of the same process. Develop on the basis of inheritance and inherit in the process of development. Become a conscious cultural inheritor: bring forth the old and bring forth the new.

Learning from the excellent culture of clean government in China's history can develop China's clean government construction today.
