摘要:: “孝”、“廉”是官员应有的最基本的品格,也是选拔和考核官员的最基本的标准。在两汉至南北朝700多年的历史上,曾经长期实行过“举孝廉”这一选拔官员的制度; 现在我们认真研究和宣传“孝廉文化”,对于当前的反对贪污腐败、加强廉政建设,具有重要意义。要把“孝”、“廉”落实到当今官员的选拔和考核过程中,就要有一套完整的、可操作的制度,而不能仅仅停留在道德宣传、教育感化上。

Abstract:: 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.
