What is honesty? Honesty is the unity of honesty and faith. Honesty in the modern sense means seeking truth from facts, and letter contains three meanings: credit-the value of letter is application, faith-the truth of letter, and reputation-the honor of letter. To sum up, it is honest and trustworthy! Honesty and trustworthiness is a fine tradition in China since ancient times. "Guanzi Yan Shu" says: "Honesty is the knot of the world." It means that honesty and trustworthiness are the key to governing the country. Pre-Qin philosophers had different understandings of many philosophical categories, but their understanding of "sincerity" was generally the same. They believe that honesty and trustworthiness are not only the foundation of settling down, but also the foundation of national consolidation and development.
Honesty is a precious spiritual wealth. It has no shape and no substance, but it guides our behavior, and its existence will rule our behavior as if it were a tangible force. Without honesty, we will fall into a mental torment. Western thinker Gordon Hill vividly described this point. He said: "If you cross a bridge and send a letter revealing your secret to your friend, but you doubt the firmness of the bridge, don't know whether the letter can be received, and have no confidence in whether your friend will keep your secret. Without such confidence, we will always be in fear, delusion, inefficiency and inaction." However, with honesty, we can get spiritual support from others and make ourselves strong. We can keep our word, don't be angry, don't threaten, and don't promise anything, but others trust us and trust us.
Honesty is a conscious moral behavior. Honesty can never be guaranteed, and it must be carefully built, carefully cultivated and constantly strengthened. It takes time and wisdom to build honesty. The relationship between people can only be established through gradual and long-term efforts, and only honesty based on morality rather than utility can last. It takes a long time to establish integrity, and sometimes an act may destroy it, and it will be difficult to rebuild the lost integrity. There is no essential difference between people's reaction to selling honesty and the death of relatives at home. When trust is profaned, the damage is profound and lasting. Only after a long and painful process can we be forgiven and rebuild trust.
Honesty is a realm of life. If a person can be honest from beginning to end and can do what he says and does under any circumstances, then he has achieved the greatest sincerity in the world. The Doctrine of the Mean says: Only when the world is sincere can we make the best use of it; If you can do your best, you can do your best; If you can do your best, you can do your best; 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 participate in it. "It means that only an extremely sincere person in the world can give full play to his nature; If you can give full play to your own nature, you can give full play to everyone's nature; If we can give full play to the nature of all people, we can give full play to the nature of all things; If we can give full play to the nature of all things, we can help heaven and earth cultivate all things; If you can help heaven and earth cultivate everything, you can be in a parallel position with heaven and earth. In this way, people have reached the highest level.

What is honesty?
What is honesty? Sincerity means sincerity and honesty; Faith is keeping promises, keeping promises. The basic meaning of honesty is keeping promise, keeping promise and not being unfaithful. Generally speaking, it means telling the truth, doing honest things and being honest. People who live in society always have relations 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.
Honesty is the basic principle of citizens' morality. Honesty and trustworthiness are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. 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 not only an act, but also a 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. Honesty is the unity of moral category and institutional category.
Honesty is the basic moral standard that all citizens should follow. Honesty can be the expectation of society and others, but it should first be its own requirement. Your own integrity cannot be based on the integrity of others. For a responsible citizen, the correct way should be to practice and influence the surroundings, not to follow the crowd. To establish a sense of honesty, we should start from everyone. Only when we are honest can we ask others to do the same. Society is made up of individuals, and everyone demands themselves with honesty, so society will become an honest society. Your own integrity is directly proportional to winning the integrity of others. The more honest you are, the more you will win the trust of others. People should live in an honest environment, and the formation of an honest environment depends on everyone's attitude towards honesty. The construction of honesty is everyone's business and the whole society's business. This requires everyone to actively participate and contribute, starting from me, starting from now, and starting from specific things. It is everyone's responsibility, everyone's benefit, everyone's contribution and everyone's benefit to improve the integrity level of the whole society. If you cheat me, I cheat you, cheat to cheat, can only fall into a "lose-lose" situation. If the whole society is honest, we can't wait. It is tantamount to making excuses for dishonesty, and it is tantamount to shirking our responsibility as social masters in the construction of honesty.
The cultivation of honesty is not a natural process. Only through persistent education and self-education can it be transformed into conscious action. A good education is like a spring breeze. A society should attach great importance to the education and guidance of citizens at any time and under any circumstances, and constantly improve people's spiritual realm and moral cultivation.
"Words must be done, words must be done", "small loyalty, big loyalty". Honesty education must focus on the big picture, start from small things, start from dolls and start from daily life. It is necessary to establish a social atmosphere of honesty and honor and a strong public opinion atmosphere in the whole society.
Honesty and trustworthiness focus on practice and accumulation. Don't take small good for it, don't take small evil for it, take small evil for it, and accumulate small good for great virtue. This is the only way to improve the level of citizens' integrity.
