Chinese Traditional Virtue

Chinese traditional virtue is the excellent moral heritage we inherited from the ancients. We learned many moral characters, such as, thrift, honesty, affection, filial piety, loyalty, humaneness and so on through many old stories and life practice. I summarized it into three aspects: humanity, courtesy and integrity.

To begin with, Chinese culture advocates humanity. This thought does not only seek for human peace but also for the harmony between human and nature and other creatures. There are many examples that show humanity

in the history. The emperors, who gain people’s great supports such as Tang Taizong, Kang Xi, complied with the

philosophy that “Cultivate humanity, and then you could cultivate your family,

administrate the country, and bring peace all over the world” (The Book of Rites).

Additionally, there goes a famous saying, “honor the aged of other people as we

honor our own, take care of the young of other people as we take

care of our own”

(the Analects). This important part of humanity makes great contributions to establishing a harmonious society. All in all, humanity

makes us show respect to not only human life but also the environment and all kinds of life around us.

In addition, China, a nation which has civilization of 5,000 years, puts courtesy at a very important position. From the old to the young, from the important events to the trivial things, it is common for people to use this rule to regulate their behavior. The traditional story of Kong Rong sharing pears is well-known by Chinese people. The behavior of KongRong to choose the smallest pear and leave the bigger ones to his brothers is a good explanation for the courtesy and comity. Courtesy makes us form many good habits in the daily life, for instance, saying hello to teachers, respecting parents, showing courtliness to our friends, giving up our seat on the bus to the people who needs it more. What’s more, courtesy play an important role in the Chinese diplomatic policy which do great help to the success of building steady

relationship with other nations.

Last but not least, Chinese ethics place a great emphasis on integrity. It is the basic principle when we get along with others. For this reason, I regard it as the most important rule we should obey to regulate our behavior. Integrity is needed in every field of our life. To be honest and sincere is the fundamental thing to be a human being. Just as the famous saying of Socrates “The dishonest life is not worth living”. Moreover, hon esty and integrity is necessary when we are handling the relationship with friends and family members. Keeping secrets among family and friends often harm them deliberately or in

deliberately. Still, in a business perspective, integrity is mainly with sincere reception, fair trade, abiding by the contract, pay the

liabilities in time, and not cooking the books, etc. As a student, we show our integrity through pursuing the true academic knowledge, obeying the discipline of test, using the true and correct information to compete in all kinds of award selection.
