Charm and disenchantment: reexamining ancient Chinese upright official thought

As a political cultural mentality, upright official thought is extremely popular in the Chinese society in spite of great historical changes. The upright officials in ancient China have been highly respected by scholar-officials and admired by the public for their unique charm which finds its root in the long tradition and culture. Upright official thought is not necessarily incompatible with modern society, and shouldn＇t be totally negated. It should be treated from a historical perspective so that much can be learnt from it to guide its modern transformation. The upright official thought is of great value for socialist democracy and political construction in practice.
