Title: The Inheritance and Development of the Confucian Concept on Honor and Disgrace in the Market Economy
Abstract: The concept on honor and disgrace is a key element in the Confucian ethics and a basic concept in the traditional ethics of China. In the past, the Confucian concept on honor and disgrace played a key role in improving one's morality and interpersonal relationship, and in maintaining the social order. At present, in the process of constructing and perfecting the socialist market-economy, especially in the period when some people have a wrong understanding of the value of honor and disgrace because of interest-lured goals, we should adopt the good elements of the Confucian concept on honor and disgrace to suit ourselves and develop a concept on honor and disgrace suiting the present-day market economy.
