What is honesty?

Honesty refers to two aspects: first, it refers to treating people sincerely and honestly, respecting facts and seeking truth from facts; The second is to keep promises. Honesty is a basic principle of socialist core values at the individual level.

"Honesty" is the central idea of Confucianism and the way to be a man. Being in the world should be based on honesty. Zhu, a Neo-Confucianist in Song Dynasty, said: Honest people are true and innocent. Honesty is a virtue. Telling the truth, doing practical things and opposing hypocrisy are honesty.

Shuo Wen Jie Zi advocates "people's words are true", while Cheng Yi advocates "truth is true". It can be seen that "faith" not only requires people to speak honestly and reliably, but also requires people to do things honestly and reliably. The basic connotation of "faith" is to keep promises, match words with deeds, be honest and trustworthy.

"Honesty" in a general sense means honesty and sincerity, which mainly refers to the inner moral quality of the subject's sincerity; "Credibility" means credit trust, which mainly refers to the externalization of the subject's inner sincerity. "Honesty" refers more to "inner sincerity", while "faith" focuses on "external trust in people".

The combination of "honesty" and "faithfulness" has formed a rich vocabulary, which is both internal and external, and its basic meaning refers to honesty and trustworthiness. For thousands of years, honesty has been regarded by the Chinese nation as its own code of conduct and moral cultivation, and formed a unique and rich concept of honesty on the basis of its basic meaning. Letter means to believe.

In the early years, few foreigners set foot in the southern foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal. Later, many Japanese people came here for sightseeing, which is said to stem from an honest story of a boy. One day, several Japanese photographers invited a local teenager to buy beer, and the teenager ran for more than three hours. The next day, the boy offered to buy them beer.

The photographers gave him a lot of money this time, but the boy didn't come back until the afternoon of the third day. As a result, photographers talked about it and thought that the boy cheated the money away. On the third night, the boy knocked on the photographer's door.

It turned out that he only bought four bottles of beer in one place, so he climbed a mountain, crossed a river, bought six more bottles, and broke three bottles when he came back. He took the broken glass in tears and returned the change to the photographer. All the people present were moved. This story deeply touched many foreigners. Later, more and more tourists came here.
