乱世下的立国之维——春秋战国时期的廉政文化建设探析

Programme for establishing a country during the troubled times——Construction of honest culture in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period

在春秋战国的乱世时期,政治的腐败不仅会带来诸侯国的内乱,还会招致亡国的厄运。这使得当时的政治和文化精英们将"廉洁"提升到立国之维和为政之本的高度。于是廉政文化建设受到了不少诸侯国执政者的重视,诸子百家也对此作了积极的探索,从而在廉洁国家的形象建设、廉洁政府的制度建设、廉洁官员的道德建设和廉政伦理的理论建设诸方面取得了明显成效。

During the troubled times of the Spring and Autumn period and warring States period, political corruption would lead to subjugation as well as civil commotion of a vassal state. For this reason, political and cultural elites advocated ＂ Honesty＂ as the programme for establishing a country and the foundation of state governance. Likewise, vassal state rulers attached great importance to the construction of honest culture, and all schools of scholars actively probed into it. As a result, positive effects had made in terms of image construction of a clean state, system construction of a clean government, moral construction of honest officials and theory construction of honest ethics.
