诚信价值观的中国传统文化基础考源

The Study on the Source of Honesty Based on Chinese Traditional Culture

诚信是社会主义核心价值观的重要内容,也是中国传统文化所追求的目标。其基本意义就是真诚、诚实、守信。在孔子与原始儒家的观念中,诚信是进德修业的重要内容,一切人与人、国家与人民、国家与国家相处的基本底线,是人类的基本价值,文明人和野蛮人都应该贯彻这一底线。一个社会只有建立在诚信的基础上,才可能产生人与人、国与民、国与国之间的交流和合作。不过,信是奉守承诺,但这个承诺,必须接受仁义的检验,必须体现出善意,如果不合"仁义",则应及时修正。

Honesty is the important aspect of socialist core values and the goal pursued by Chinese traditional culture, whose basic meaning lies in faith, integrity and trust. From the thought of Confucius and primitive Confucianism, honesty is a basic value for people to promote virtue and accomplish-ment. All people and countries get along well with one another on the basis of this bottom line, which the civilized and the brutal should conform to. 0nly based on honesty can a society create exchanges and cooperation between people and people, country and people, country and country. However, to trust is to keep promises that should be examined by righteousness and represents kindness. If not conformed to righteousness, it should be corrected in time.
