1. Integrity culture has existed since ancient times
Integrity culture is also called incorruptibility culture. Integrity, as the name suggests, refers to honesty and integrity. The saying comes from "Zhuangzi: Swordsmanship": "The sword of the princes has the wise warrior as the front, and the honest man as the sword." People with lofty ideals in the past dynasties have praised and practiced honesty. Sima Qian's "Historical Records·Le Shu" said: "Those who are upright, honest and humble, "Qing" originally means clear water, which means purity; "Lian" means the corners of the hall, which are straight up and down, and are angular, which means the great character of the Warring States Period. The poet Qu Yuan said in "The Songs of Chu: Calling the Soul": "I have been clean and honest since I was a child, and I have been righteous since I was a child. "The meaning is that he was endowed with honest virtues when he was young and devoted himself to morality without any loss. Wang Yi, a famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, commented in "Chu Ci·Zhang Ju": "Not being free is said to be honest, and not being filthy is said to be honest. "Clean" means not accepting money and gifts from others and not letting one's innocent character be tarnished, which is integrity.
The Chinese have regarded "propriety, justice, integrity and shame" as the "fourth dimension of the country" since ancient times. If it is not maintained, the country will perish." Among the "four dimensions", integrity is the most important. Therefore, later generations advocate the saying that "publicity produces justice, integrity produces prestige." From this, we can see how important a culture of integrity is to clean politics and honest work. .
In ancient times, social classes were distinct, and bureaucratic thinking was prevalent. "Integrity" focused on self-cultivation. Maintaining "integrity" required noble moral integrity and firm ideals and beliefs. Tao Yuanming was unwilling to join the others and resigned. Only then did he have the independent personality of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains"; Zhou Dunyi refused official corruption, and then he had the self-cleanliness of "coming out of the mud without being stained"; Wang Mian was indifferent to fame and fortune, leaving behind the legacy of "not leaving anyone to praise you" Color, the pure energy fills the universe." Fang Zhimin wrote the essay "Poverty" in prison with his sincere revolutionary feelings and noble moral integrity, telling the honest and simple life of a Communist. As for today, we can still feel the shocking ideological power of "Poverty".
