As the basic characters of officials, “filiality” and “honesty” are the most basic standards for selection and assessment of officials. In the history of more than 700 years from Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties to the Wei, Jin and the Southern and Northern dynasties, “filiality” and “hon-esty” had been considered as the most basic standards to select officials. Nowadays, the study and publicity of “filiality and honesty culture” have important significance in opposing corruption and strengthening incorruptness. A set of comprehensive and workable system must be built to implemente the standards of “filiality” and “honesty” in the current selection and assessment of officials instead of staying in the position of moral publicity and education.
