Science can not grow in a vacuum, it needs a humanistic and cultural environment to promote the development of scientific, scientific innovation, versa. In the course of scientific innovation, scientists need to have a variety of incentive human factors including ideals, ethics and faith; these human factors can often induce scientists on the inspiration, intuition and imagination, to directly involve in scientific innovation activities. Chinese traditional ethical concepts, Taoist and Confucian thought is undoubtedly the most profound impact. Confucian ethics focus on loyalty, family-oriented human relations, the importance of personal hard work and patience, attention to the education of their children. These traditional ethics characteristics, ever and will continue to develop generation after generation of hard work and discipline of scientific innovation talent. Conservative Confucian culture of China is one of the most significant reasons as well as three centuries of resistance to Western scientific thought, but this resistance in nowadays has completely disappeared, replaced by the technological importance of national consensus.This paper elaborates about Chinese traditional ethics and scientific innovation on the basis of relationship between the status mainland and abroad, from the concepts and features.

The innovation of the Chinese traditional ethics should meet the needs of contemporary scientific innovationChinese traditional culture heritage has become the strategic resources scarce of world, H·Alvin who is Sweden scholars also said, humanity is to survive in the 21st century, it must look back 2500 years before, to draw wisdom from Confucius. Chinese traditional ethics is not only justice, altruism, sacrifice, and several other features, it pays more attention to personal action. Morality can not be forced only, it also be conscious of the ability by itself to make people who will dare to take responsibility, not cover up their errors. While, it also focuses on integrity and moderation. The "moderate" here refers to caring for the foundation, with integrity as the center of the middle ground, rather than vulgar eclecticism..Taoist's humanitarian nature on the post-modern scientific enlightenment, the scientific value of Confucian ethics on science humanization, and the potential model of Chinese traditional culture on the scientific innovation in the future, it is very important practical significance for the above three aspects.The Chinese government advocates to build a "harmonious society", backward, the concepts of harmony is from the Taoist concept of "harmony between man and nature" theory. It will promote the social atmosphere and the harmonious space for China and the whole world while it clarifies the main points of traditional morality in harmonious spirit.

Scientific innovation and Chinese traditional ethics and morality are mutually affected. When the traditional ethics meets the request of scientific innovation, it will promote the development of scientific innovation; Instead, it will play a role in impeding. Chinese modernization process can not be separated from the critical succession of the traditional ethics. The main performance of this critical succession process is about the developing the useful and discarding the useless, transformation and conversion process for the traditional ethics. At the same time, traditional ethics has a continuous process of development and changes itself. In a certain sense, that is the innovation of traditional ethics exactly.In the circumstances of the whole society to promote scientific innovation, we should criticize and inherit Chinese traditional ethics, and manage them to adapt the requirements of modern society to promote their own innovation, so as to adapt to the development of scientific innovation, finally reach mutual promotion and common development. It will promote mutually and interact each other for traditional ethics' innovation and scientific innovation in the modernization process, they are unified in building great socialism modernization with Chinese characteristics.
