| As an important direction of the study of administrative science,administrative ethics is regarded as the soul of public administration.Its research source originates from the west,with the development of the discipline of public management in our country in recent years,as well as governing corruption and solving the problems of bureaucracy,the lazy politics and idling politics,etc.,and the appearance of all kinds of moral problems in the field of public administration,The research and exploration of administrative ethics gradually flourished.However,if we want to solve various moral and ethical problems in the administrative field,we must find a feasible path that conforms to our national conditions and realize the localization of the research and construction of administrative ethics.Therefore,Confucian administrative ethics thought in the traditional dimension is an important resource for the research and construction of administrative ethics in China.Based on the heritage and connotation of traditional administrative culture,focusing on the actual needs of current administrative management development,the experience and wisdom of predecessors are deeply excavated and applied in today’s administrative practice,so as to realize the governance dialogue between ancient administrative ethics thought and modern administrative ethics construction.Confucianism is not only the mainstream thought of feudal society,but also the collection of traditional social ideology.At the same time,as a prominent learning,it has directly guided the political and administrative practice of feudal society for more than two thousand years.Confucianism not only directly gave birth to and laid the core meaning,value orientation,basic concept and thinking paradigm of Chinese traditional social administrative ethics,but also the prototype and background of the whole Chinese feudal society administrative thoughts and theories.Confucian administrative ethics originated from the thought of "respecting morality and protecting the people" in the early Western Zhou Dynasty,formed from the content of "governing by virtue" proposed by Confucius,initially developed from the content of "the people are the foundation of the state" proposed by Mencius,and finally established from the content of "combining proprieties and laws" proposed by Xunzi.After more than two thousand years’ exercise and development of administrative management in feudal society,it finally formed a complete set of ethical theory system about traditional social politics and administration.From the perspective of the content and value orientation of Confucian administrative ethics,on the one hand,it integrates the cultural and philosophical theoretical content,and at the same time,it puts ethical thoughts in the political and administrative theories,guiding the development of the traditional political and administrative practice.From the perspective of humanistic care and value significance contained in the connotation of Confucian administrative ethics,it directly breeds Chinese traditional political and administrative theories,is the core theoretical source of shaping traditional administrative behavior and outlook,and has extremely important research value.This paper makes an in-depth discussion on the social and historical conditions,characteristics and main contents of the pre-Qin Confucian administrative ethics,and systematically analyzes The Times value and limitations of the pre-Qin Confucian administrative ethics,as well as the principles to be followed in the process of modernization.This paper demonstrates the significance of pre-Qin Confucian administrative ethics as an important traditional cultural resource for reference to the current construction of administrative ethics.As a kind of social consciousness,Confucian administrative ethics in pre-Qin Dynasty is historical and social.With the change of administrative ethics ecology,especially under the background of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era,Confucian administrative ethics is no longer in the middle position of ideology.Therefore,our attitude towards it should not be one-sided and isolated negative view.We should look at it more rationally and objectively,take the essence and discard the dross,and dig out the part with the value of The Times,which not only has the directional guiding significance for the current construction of administrative ethics,but also has an important reference for the current construction of socialist democratic politics and spiritual civilization.Combined with the current actual construction of administrative ethics,the excellent content of pre-Qin Confucian administrative ethics is explored and reformed to form a complete and reasonable system of public administration ethics that conforms to the current Chinese public administration reality and has Chinese characteristics. |
