The traditional Confucian culture in China attaches great importance to "shame", that is, being ashamed of oneself and doing things differently.

In The Analects of Confucius, Zi Gong asked, "What kind of scholar is He Rusi?" Confucius said: "To be ashamed of your actions, you will do everything in all directions, and you will not disgrace your life. You can say that you are a scholar. " "Tao has virtue, courtesy, shame and prestige." Shame is the bottom line of being a man and the basis of moral self-discipline. Only when you have a sense of shame can you do something wrong. Shameless people can do anything. People should not be shameless.

Confucius put forward that "ancient scholars are themselves, and today's scholars are human beings." "It is shameful to do what you do." Summarize this spirit as "being ashamed of yourself". Mencius further said: "He who does his best knows his nature. If you know its essence, you will know the sky. Keep your heart, cultivate your nature, and do things naturally. I want to live a long life, I am self-cultivation, so I am very firm. " (Mencius) Explain the relationship between sex and Tao, human nature and fate. The foundation of Tao lies in sex, and compliance is Tao.

Sex is predestined; Sex belongs to people. And it is given by heaven and belongs to heaven. Therefore, Tao is based on heaven and exists among people. This Tao is humanity, and it is also the unity of heaven, heaven and humanity. It is not only the requirement of moral conscience, but also the requirement of doing things and fate. China people's moral self-discipline is the realm of harmony between man and nature. On this basis, the unique moral tradition of China people has been formed.

Knowing shame is the basis of China people's morality, and it is also one of the basic problems in moral construction and social construction. In my opinion, the main reason why people are worried about moral decay and social trends is the lack of shame. Carrying forward the spirit of knowing shame is to rebuild the moral consciousness of China people, which is the basis of social governance, and also to improve the overall humanistic level and cultural consciousness of China people.
