“Probity” is one of the important category of Chinese traditional ethics. It is not only a kind of formation of ethics, but also a kind of thoughts of governing the country. ”Probity” is a kind of lofty characters about facing big profit not to change its justice, and a basic moral requirement as a special moral virtue. As the basic professional ethics, ”probity” must be abided by the officer in the process of their politics. As officers, they must be mild to manage, and be purity facing the wealth. The morality of Purity and mild was the most important treasure. As an important governing idea, ”probity” and ”ceremony”, ”righteousness”, ”disgrace” were regarded as the Four-dimensional of the country. In the book of <Jin-Shu·the biography of Yuan zhong>,it said that the "probity" was very important to the politics, as the soil to the flower, the abundant rain to the bumper harvest year, all the botany would bloom. It can also be said that "Probity" was the fundamental of politics, and politics would be prosperous if we abided by the "Probity".“Probity” was one of the important contents of Confucian political moral and ethical. In the long process of historical development, Confucianism answered the questions about what is the probity, why to be probity and how to be probity. To be specific:Theoretically, ”Probity” has the meaning of clean and economical, which was the foundation of both people and governing. The construction of Confucian thought of Probity, to the unity of heaven and man was thought as the philosophical cornerstone, with thoughts of the people for political foundation, to the benevolent love thought as cornerstone of human relations, with public-private righteousness and reason and desire as the value foundation. At the same time, the connotation of "Probity " was very rich. It was further showed mainly through the "Jian", "Chi", "Xiao" and other specific ethical morality. "Jian" was the basis of clean living, and the "Jian" could help to the "Probity ". The sense of shame was the premise of the "Probity" and it would nourish the "Probity ". The "Xiao" was the most important in all the benefaction, and it was the filial piety for the realization of fairness and honesty. Therefore, filial piety could promote the "Probity".The case in practice, there were many specific discussions in the political practice and the path of develop about the morality of "Probity" in Confucianism. Morality was a kind of practical reason, the "Probity" of ethics was need to practice by officials in the official politics. Although there were many forms about the "Probity" in political practice, it was quite representative that the "liu-lian" mentioned in the book of <Zhou li>.These six aspects, including the "Good", "Can", "Respect", "Positive", "Law", "Resolution", were the basic standard for the assessment of officials, and the basis of practice by official. Then, for officials, how to develop the quality of "Probity" ? In the view of Confucian, there were some basic approaches: first, we should adhere to the self-cultivation of moral, to realize the "Probity" nourished by the morality; second, we should carry out moral education, to achieve the "Probity" nourished by the education; Third, we should strengthen the system of norms and constraints, to achieve the "Probity" nourished by the system. Fourth, we should attach importance to the legal punish corruption, to carry out the "Probity" nourished by the low.Learning from history, it was very important that: "Probity" can make a country strong, while greed can make country become mourning. In ancient China, many official politics actively practiced the Confucian "Probity" thought, became a respected wises monarch and honest minister and corrupt officials a positive role for the social situation emergence of their feudal prime ages. On the contrary, those persons without morality, didn’t contribute positive energy to the development of sociology, instead of being cast aside, and was permanently set in the history of the pillar of shame. Since the Modern times, the Qing government, under the double whammy of domestic trouble and foreign invasion, became to the fall. The Kuomintang, On behalf of the big landlords and big bourgeoisie interests of and finally, lost the power of rule the mainland in Chinese. Although there were many reasons, one common aspect was that the officials lost their "Purity ", lay in serious corruption. The China Communist Party, representing the proletariat and the interests of the people, always adhere to put one’s heart and soul into the purpose of serving the people, uphold the people, pragmatic, honest work style. In the period of new democratic revolution, the China Communist Party put forward a series of theory of clean government, actively practiced the Confucian "Probity" thought, the honest and clean politics, eventually won the control of the whole nationalLearning from the current situation, through 60 years unremitting efforts, since the founding of Chinese, the construction of Party style and anti-corruption struggle has made important achievements, China still are facing the situation which is grim and complex. History is a mirror and Learning history we can know the future. Since The 18 th national congress of the communist party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jin-ping as general secretary, attaches great importance to the traditional culture, and derive governing wisdom from it. In the overall social reform, at the same time, we adhere to strong anti-corruption, taking the policy that play the "tiger" and "fly", has gradually formed a "three does not rot" anti-corruption new ideas., namely "dare not to rot", "can’t rot" and "don’t want to rot". Therefore, we can actively learn from the Confucian morality wisdom. in view of this, then we should be how to learn from the Confucian morality of wisdom, to promote the basic logic of corruption governance "three does not rot". Specifically, we should learn from the Confucian thought of “the moral is the main and the penalty is added", pay attention to legal punishment, and promote probity, Promote the governance of corruption. We should learn from the Confucian thought of cultivation our body and mind with Moral Pay attention to the cultivation of probity, nourish Probity with morality, promote the governance of government do not want to corrupt. In a word, we should adhere to the combination of moral self-discipline and heteronomy legal system constraints, the combination of prevention and punishment of corruption system, truly achieve the cadres, the government’s target of clean, transparent and uprightness, provide strong support for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
