Honesty is an invaluable good quality. "Virtue is prosperous, and virtue is declining." For a brand and an enterprise, honesty is the soul, the life and the eternal motive force for the survival and development of the enterprise. Without honesty, enterprises will decline. In Nanjing, Jiangsu, there is a century-old Guanshengyuan food factory. Over the past century, its Cantonese-style moon cakes have been praised as "full moon and fragrant stuffing", just like the "leader" in the food production industry. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, people are always proud to taste the "Guanshengyuan" moon cakes. After the reform and opening up, the production and sales of Guanshengyuan in Nanjing are even better. The demand for products is in short supply, and the income of employees is rising. However, in September, 20001year, Guanshengyuan was exposed by CCTV and other news media because of its bad record of making moon cakes with aging fillings and moldy materials, and its business situation declined all the way. In the eyes of consumers, "Guanshengyuan" has become synonymous with "dishonesty and fraud". The century-old enterprise finally went bankrupt. Rome was not built in one day. The history of "Guanshengyuan" from prosperity to decline, from glory to bankruptcy, let people clearly see that once an enterprise loses its integrity and conscience, it will inevitably lose its market and consumers and eventually destroy itself. Confucius said, "unbelievers don't know what they can do." Xunzi also said, "cheat and forge obstacles, create God sincerely, boast and create confusion." Over the past century, Guanshengyuan is genuine, well-known, prosperous in business and enterprise, relying on honest management. However, after entering the new century, why did the good "Guanshengyuan" fall down? There is only one conclusion, that is, forgetting righteousness for profit and losing faith in the people. In China, honesty as a moral principle has a history of more than 3,000 years, from Yao, Shun and Yu to ancient sages represented by Confucius, until today's socialist market economy. The concept of "honest management" has been quite mature in the Spring and Autumn Period of our country. At that time, Zi Gong, a Confucius student who was a wealthy businessman, not only restrained himself from making genuine products, but also treated the buyers (consumers) who broke the contract well, which showed us the honesty between the operators and consumers in early China. Lv Buwei, the later prime minister of the State of Qin, was also a famous businessman. Many historical books recorded the historical facts that he was honest and trustworthy in doing business, and the quality and price were consistent. Since then, whether it is recorded in historical books? The Biography of Huo Zhi or the Book of the Later Han Dynasty? The record of eating goods, and even "The Word of Orange Water" written by Liu Bowen in the Ming Dynasty, are warning future generations that there have been many honest people who are "genuine", "childlike innocence" and "buying and selling cannot be righteous" since ancient times. It is also those honest operators who opened and opened up the Silk Road and prospered the prosperous Tang Dynasty. After China's reform and opening up, the wave of market economy has violently collided with our traditional ideas. In the contest between various material interests and economic interests, the desire to pursue unjust enrichment leads to the prevalence of counterfeiting and fraud in a certain range. Integrity is facing a severe test. Once upon a time, millions of consumers have learned the embarrassment of "shoes for a week" and "shoes for a day"; Recently, "3? The 25 "instant lottery fraud case shocked and stunned the Chinese people. Fake medicine, fake wine and fake milk powder have killed many consumers and brought pain to good people! The fraud and dishonesty of operators not only bring endless harm to consumers, but also bring disaster to enterprises and places. The counterfeit drug case in Jinjiang, which sensationalized the whole country more than ten years ago, made Jinjiang stink overnight. Due to the spread of pseudonyms, Jinjiang brand has become a "rat crossing the street, everyone cries out", and all Jinjiang products have been innocently implicated as "suspicious goods", which have been seriously injured by fish in the pond. For a time, the machine stopped running, the factory closed down, the township enterprises lost their vitality, and the 6,543,800+sales force went home in despair. Many department stores across the country have clearly expressed their refusal to accept Jinjiang goods, and Jinjiang's economy is facing a serious threat. It is gratifying that Jinjiang people are good at summing up experiences and lessons, dare to struggle, and get up when they fall. The counterfeit drug case made them understand the importance of honesty and quality, and thus embarked on the development road of survival with honesty and quality. A campaign to rebuild credit has been launched vigorously in Jinjiang. "Honesty, modesty, unity and hard work" is defined as "Jinjiang Spirit", and "Honesty" is listed as the first place in "Jinjiang Spirit". Jinjiang Municipal Committee * * * strives to create * * * credit, actively advocates credit culture, and promotes the concept of national credit and the ability of industry self-discipline. Entrepreneurs in the city also unanimously expressed that they should vigorously carry forward the "Jinjiang Spirit" and determined to "rebuild Jinjiang brand with integrity and never earn half a cent.

The meaning of honesty
What is honesty?
What is honesty? Sincerity means sincerity and honesty; Faith is keeping promises, keeping promises. The basic meaning of honesty is trustworthiness, trustworthiness and honesty. Generally speaking, it means telling the truth, doing honest things and being honest. People live in society, always with others and society. Dealing with this relationship must abide by certain rules, rules to follow, and promises to be kept; Otherwise, individuals will lose their foundation and society will lose its operating rules. . Philosopher's "people don't believe, I don't know what they can do", poet's "three cups of agreement, five mountains are light" and folk's "a promise of a thousand dollars" all praise the importance of honesty. For thousands of years, the story of "a promise is worth a thousand dollars" has been heard in history and widely circulated. Honesty is the basic norm of citizens' morality, and honesty and trustworthiness are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.
There is a story. Once upon a time, there was a king who had no son. He wanted to choose a child from the people to be a prince, so he gave each candidate a peony seed to see who planted the most beautiful flowers and spent the most. When it comes to appraisal, almost all the children compete with each other with bright and beautiful peony flowers. Only one child cried with the seed in his arms. He didn't grow flowers. However, it was he who was chosen. It turns out that these flowers have been boiled before and can't survive. The king used this to test the quality of his successor. This story shows that honesty is not only a good personal quality, but also a moral model under the spirit of contract, and it is also a "skill" that can change reality. China's traditional culture says that cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, and honesty is actually the best example. In today's increasingly homogeneous products, integrity is the golden key to open the market. With it, Alibaba's wealth door opened for this hole.
From this perspective, honesty is not only a kind of conduct, but also a kind of responsibility; It is not only a morality, but also a norm; It is not only a reputation, but also a resource. Personally, honesty is a noble personality force; For enterprises, honesty is a valuable intangible asset; As far as society is concerned, honesty is a normal production and living order; As far as a country is concerned, honesty is a good international image.
However, in recent years, with the impact and cleaning of market economy, people find that honesty is fading and "money worship" is growing. "Benefit" replaced virtue and honesty and gave way to fraud. In many people's life scales, the sinking end is health, beauty, alertness, talent, money and honor, and only the honest end is stuck high. Honesty is getting lighter! Not to mention the intrigue and intrigue in the mall; Needless to say, the hawkers in the market are short of weight and shoddy; Needless to say, dirty rice oil is sold against old rice, and tap water is mixed with methanol; Even if one day the weather is fine and you are happy, you accidentally find a bulging wallet on the side of the road: dare you pick it up? And live! If it happened years ago, you would gladly give it to the police uncle to win people's praise, but today, in the crowded street, I objectively say that as long as you touch the bag, you will be in trouble. The wind of honesty will stop, and people of insight will lament.
We always insist that the cause of honesty is everyone's cause and needs everyone's efforts and cooperation. Although we have encountered setbacks on our way forward, we are constantly exploring and making progress. The service will be more perfect and the function will be more powerful. We firmly believe that we will do better!
Honesty and trustworthiness focus on practice and accumulation. Here, I appeal to everyone not to do good, not to do evil, but to do good, which is the only way to improve the integrity of citizens and the necessary condition for the sustainable development of an enterprise!
What does honesty mean in the company's philosophy?
The company's integrity management philosophy is:
1 Strictly implement the contract.
2 strictly fulfill the company's commitments.
3 It is forbidden to practise fraud.
What does it mean to be honest with the company?
Honesty is the basic morality of being a man. Simply put, it means keeping your word and not doing anything bad for the company. For example, your education is obviously junior college, you cheated the company with a fake undergraduate certificate, you asked for leave to apply for a job in another house, but you said you had a stomachache and so on. These are all manifestations of dishonesty. For example, if the leader asks you to send an email, and you think it shouldn't be sent, you don't take the initiative to send it and lie that it has been sent. It turned out that you didn't send it. You're glad to tell the boss that I didn't send it. Even if you do it right, you will still be considered dishonest and probably be fired. So what you have to do in the company is what your post should do, don't go beyond it. This is the integrity of the company.
The meaning of honesty
1, which means sincerity, faithfulness, sincerity and truth; Believers are honest and will not cheat. Honest, upright and trustworthy. As an ancient moral standard in China, honesty has always been respected and advocated by people. Confucianism regards "honesty" as the highest moral category in nature and human society, and holds that "honesty is the way of heaven and earth, and honesty is the way of being human" (on Mencius Li Lou), and "courtesy is the principle of keeping loyalty, faith and righteousness ... and faith is the principle of keeping" (on Mandarin Zhou Yu). Confucius believes that "trust" is an important criterion for communication between friends, and regards "trust" as one of the important manifestations of "benevolence", requiring "respecting things and valuing Taoism" and "sincerely winning trust". Later Confucianism developed and perfected the "sincerity" and "faith" of Confucius and Mencius. They regard "sincerity" as "sage's affection" and the most tranquil "heart" (spirit) (Tang Li 'ao). Regard "honesty" as the supreme universe ontology, and think that "honesty is the foundation of saints." Big is dry, everything is expected to start, and the source of honesty is also "(Zhou Dunyi in the Northern Song Dynasty); It is even believed that the spiritual entity of "sincerity" has metaplasia function: "Honest people are self-contained, while Taoists are self-contained. Honest people always have something, and dishonest people have nothing (the golden mean). Honesty is the universal law of the universe, and the relationship between honesty and Ming is expounded by the relationship between knowledge and action (Wang Fuzhi in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties). In short, in the thousands of years of civilization history of the Chinese nation, honesty has always been respected by all walks of life as a kind of "goodness"; From ignorance to civilization, from farming civilization to commercial civilization, the light of honesty always shines on mankind. 2. The Harm of Lack of Honesty Confucius said: "People have no faith and don't know what they can do." For individuals, honesty is the foundation of establishing a person, the basic principle of being a person, and the correct moral orientation of every citizen. From the perspective of self-cultivation, honesty is the sun rising in Ran Ran in people's hearts, which can illuminate themselves and warm others; Honesty is a golden key, which can open people's hearts and open the door to knowledge and wealth. Honesty blooms the beauty of life, and life is colorful because of honesty. For enterprises, honesty is the foundation of their survival; For a city, honesty is equal to its development opportunities; For a nation, honesty is the foundation of its prosperity and self-reliance. And once the integrity is lacking, it is very harmful. Mo Ziyun said: "Without strong will, there is no wisdom, and those who don't believe in will will fail." Once you don't believe in yourself, people will lose their foundation, enterprises will lose the foundation of survival, cities will lose the opportunity of development, and nations will lose the source of prosperity. Lao Tzu said, "A light promise means a broken promise. Easy is difficult. " Honesty is the moral basis for the sustainable development of market economy. Once integrity is lacking, fraud will prevail in society, the market will be chaotic, morality will be ruined, and people's hearts will be in danger. In today's society, the proliferation of fake and shoddy goods, the prevalence of fake diplomas and academic qualifications, the repeated prohibition of fraudulent figures in political achievements, the hard prevention of credit fraud, and the endless stream of false news and advertisements are all concrete manifestations of the lack of integrity. It is reported that the direct and indirect economic losses caused by the lack of credit in China are as high as 585.5 billion yuan each year, equivalent to 37% of China's annual fiscal revenue, and China's GDP is reduced by at least two percentage points every year. It can be seen that the lack of honesty will affect the development of society and hinder the process of human civilization. 3. Modern honesty is the inheritance and transcendence of traditional honesty as a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Honesty, like other excellent cultural traditions, has different characteristics in different times, and each era will give it different connotations, bearing the brand of politics, economy and class. As a moral standard, modern honesty is not only the inheritance of traditional honesty, but also the development and transcendence of traditional honesty. Compared with traditional honesty, modern honesty has the following characteristics: First, the content of adjusting social life is more extensive. Traditional farming society is a self-sufficient natural economy. Due to the limitation of the development level of productive forces, the traffic is backward, the information is blocked, the range of human activities is very small, the range of communication between people in winter is very narrow, and the frequency of communication is very low. Except for a few business people, the communication between the main groups in social life is generally limited to relatives, friends and acquaintances. Honesty, as a moral norm, regulates the communication between people. If the adjustment subject is missing, the role of this norm in social life will be reduced. Ceng Zi said, "Don't you believe in making friends?" The Book of Rites and Music says: "Honesty is the way to get rid of falsehood, and courtesy is also the way to learn." It can be seen that in ancient times, the "faith" advocated by Confucianism was mostly the "faith" of friends. In the Confucian meaning of "cultivate one's morality, keep one's family in order, govern the country and level the world", "faithfulness" is largely confined to the level of "cultivate one's morality and keep one's family in order". In modern society, the level of social productive forces has been greatly improved. ......
Definition of Honesty (Detailed)
First, what is honesty?
What is honesty? Morally speaking, honesty means being sincere, honest, trustworthy and trustworthy. The explanations in Shuo Wen Jie Zi are "sincerity, faithfulness" and "faithfulness, sincerity". It can be seen that the original meaning of honesty is honesty, sincerity, trustworthiness and trustworthiness, and it is opposed to concealing fraud, counterfeiting and fraud.
Second, honesty: from tradition to modernity
Honesty is an important concept of ethical philosophy put forward by pre-Qin Confucianists, and it is also an important category in the history of China's ethical thought. It was not until the period of Confucius that "honesty" was formed as a theoretical concept. Mencius not only formed a theoretical concept, but also had a very important position. He said: "it is sincere, and heaven is also; If you think sincerely, you will learn from others. Those who are sincere and motionless are not there; If you are dishonest, there will be no porters. " Here, honesty is not only the highest category of the ontology of heaven, but also the law and know-how of being a man. Xunzi developed the thought of "sincerity" and pointed out that "sincerity is the foundation of politics". He said; "The heavens and the earth are big, and dishonesty cannot change everything; As the saints know, if you are dishonest, you can't turn to the public; Father and son are close relatives, and dishonesty is sparse; Jun Jing, if you are not sincere, you are humble, your husband is sincere, and the gentleman keeps it. The foundation of politics is also. " In The Doctrine of the Mean, "honesty" has become the core category of etiquette and the highest realm of life: "Only honesty in the world can make the best use of it; If you can do your best, you can do your best; If you can make good use of human nature, you can make good use of things; If you can make the best use of it, you can praise the teaching of heaven and earth; If you can praise the cultivation of heaven and earth, you can go to heaven and earth. " As sincere as a god, with sincere moral character and attitude, you can infiltrate a variety of benevolence and morality, become an adult, and even achieve the nature of human beings and things, praise heaven and earth for practicing together with heaven and earth, and achieve the realm of "harmony between man and nature". The University regards "sincerity" as one of the eight items, namely, respecting things, knowing and doing, being sincere, cultivating one's morality, keeping the family in order, and governing the country. "Honesty" has become an important link for sages to abide by God's will, cultivate one's morality, and govern the country and the world. In the Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi further believed that "honesty" was "the foundation of the five permanent members and the source of all things." Take "sincerity", including honesty, as the foundation of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, and the beginning of all kinds of good deeds. Cheng Yi put it more bluntly, "You can do good even if you are not sincere", and his views are incisive.
Marxist ethics critically inherits the category of "honesty" and affirms that honesty is an important norm of social morality. In the long-term social life, the main moral requirements of honesty have gradually become clear: loyalty, integrity and honesty. The main purpose of loyalty is loyalty to the motherland, people and just cause. Of course, this kind of loyalty is not blind and narrow "foolish loyalty", but identifies with lofty ideals, pursues and makes unremitting efforts to realize these ideals, thus showing the spirit of being willing to contribute and being brave in sacrifice. Integrity means integrity, fairness and frankness. Honesty means telling the truth, doing honest things and being honest.
Faith is also the category of China's history of ethical thought. The meaning of "faith" is similar to "sincerity" and "truth". From the analysis of the glyph, the word faithfulness follows people's words, which originally refers to the sincere words to heaven and ancestors during sacrifice. Liang Ji, a doctor in the Sui Dynasty, said, "Be loyal to the people and believe in God" and "May history have correct remarks and trust." Later, due to the development of private economy and private thoughts, the original simple society was gradually destroyed. In the communication between countries and people, we must conclude an oath. However, the observance of vows and commitments still depends on the deterrence of the gods and spirits of heaven and earth. In the Spring and Autumn Period, under the advocacy of Confucianism, "faith" began to get rid of religious color and became a pure moral norm. Confucius believed that "faith" was the embodiment of "benevolence", and he asked people to "respect things and believe". He said, "If you believe, you will do whatever you want" and "If you don't believe, you don't know what you can do". Confucius and Mencius regarded "trust" as an important principle of making friends, emphasizing that "friends believe in their existence" and "friends believe in their absence". Most authorities in past dynasties regarded "trust" as an important tool to maintain order. "Zuo Wen Zhuan's Four Years" said: "Abandoning faith and damaging its owner will lead to chaos in the country." "Your Letter in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Lu" makes an incisive analysis of the consequences of faith and unbelief in social life: "If the monarch and the minister don't believe it, the people will slander and the country will be uneasy. If officials don't believe in it, they will be less afraid of growing up and look down on each other. If you don't believe in rewards and punishments, * * * is easy to break the law and can't be ordered. If you don't believe in making friends, you will be separated from your troubles and can't date each other. If all the workers don't believe it, the equipment will suffer, and if it is fake, the paint will be disloyal. The husband can follow it, take it as the end, respect it, be humble and poor, and believe only! " In the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu listed "faithfulness" and benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom as "five permanents" and regarded them as the most basic social behavior norms. And the "letter" elaborates: "Exhauste your feelings. ......
