original text

Zi Gong asked about politics. Confucius said, "Food is sufficient, soldiers are sufficient, and people trust." Zi Gong said, "I have to go, which comes first?" Said, "Go and be a soldier." Zi Gong said, "I'm leaving. What is the first? " Say, "Go and eat. There has been death since ancient times, and the people have no faith. "

At present, one of the most common, intractable and difficult problems in China and even in society is honesty. Fundamentally speaking, this is a social contract. It belongs to the category of morality, but it binds people and things living in the whole region and country, and it is a standard that is not illegal. Honesty is like relations of production. If it is not correctly established in society, it will make the whole society pay a huge moral cost. I think there are too many concrete examples, and I'm afraid everyone has experience.
