What is the strict information of the system of "promoting filial piety and honesty"?

Filial piety is a subject established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to appoint officials. Filial piety means "filial piety, honesty and integrity". The word "filial piety" has also become an elegant name for juren in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Filial piety is a test of dutiful sons and honest officials. Lv Hou, Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty, once wrote a letter of filial piety. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established the basic policy of respecting Confucius and paying special attention to people's moral character when selecting ruling talents.

According to Confucianism, emphasizing filial piety is the foundation of human beings, and honesty is the principle of being an official in politics. Therefore, the inspection of filial piety has been identified as the most important subject in selecting talents, and it has become the most representative and typical subject in the inspection system of Han Dynasty. Investigating filial piety was originally two subjects. At the beginning of the first year of Han Yuanguang (BC 134), the county was ordered to raise filial piety, that is, one filial piety and one filial piety. However, in the late Han Dynasty, Lian Xiao was often confused with the same theme. Most of the cited people are state and county officials or Confucian scholars who are familiar with Confucian classics. After being quoted, those who did not have official positions were given official positions, and those who were originally small officials were promoted to big officials.

In the Han dynasty, the promotion of filial piety was designated as annual promotion, that is, each county recommended talents according to the prescribed number of people every year and sent them to the court, which became the correct way to select officials and appoint and promote them in the Han dynasty. From Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty, many people, from local officials to court officials, were born with filial piety, which had a great influence on the politics of the Han Dynasty. Through the promotion of filial piety, the public opinion and fashion of being a dutiful son at home and being an honest official in society have been created, which has played a role in social education. In the Western Han Dynasty, the examination of Chaju Xiaolian was stricter and the management of officials was clearer. After the mid-Eastern Han Dynasty, the examination was lax and the investigation was untrue. Many people make it a big joke to inspect the departure of Xiaolian's father, which is mutually causal with official corruption and forms a vicious circle.
