Abstract Shame is an important concept in Chinese ethics and moral practice. Appropriate shame is viewed as the manifestation of conscience by Confucianism. Shame is associated with vision, which is a negative emotional experience when “seen through” by others. Shame is self-consciousness of wrong doings, which mainly involves a whole self and reflects the moral flaws of the wrong doers. Shame is certainly a moral psychology and feeling that needs to be cultivated, but there is no necessary correlation between shame and virtue in both logical and real sense. Loss of shame is the natural trend in history. It may hint a new trend in morality.
