Abstract:Relative to official ethics, folk ethics is the code of conduct popular among the lower classes. Like official ethics, folk ethics belongs to the category of ideology. They are both the product under certain historical conditions and are closely related to each other, but different in generation mode and social functions. Under the influence of Confucianism, Chinese folk ethics gradually forms a system with obligation, honesty, justice and reverence to ancestry as its main content. Unfortunately, Chinese traditional folk ethics is now missing, which is an important cause of many contemporary social problems. Carrying forward good folk ethics is conducive to the construction of contemporary spiritual humanism. Rather than being confined to development of personal virtues, Chinese folk ethics and the Confucianism it reflects demonstrate distinctive publicity.
