Ba rong ba chi

Ba rong ba chi

The Ba rong ba chi (Eight Honors and Eight Shames) (Simplified Chinese: 八荣八耻 Traditional Chinese: 八榮八恥 Pinyin: bā róng bā chĭ), officially the Core Value System or the Eight Honors and Disgraces, is a set of moral concepts developed by current President Hu Jintao for the citizens of the People's Republic of China. It is also known as "Eight Virtues and Shames", or "Hu Jintao’s Eight-Step Programme". Its formal name in China is "Socialist Concepts on Honours and Disgraces" (Simplified Chinese: 社会主义荣辱观 Traditional Chinese: 社會主義榮辱觀 pinyin: shè huì zhŭ yì róng rŭ guān).

On March 4, 2006, Hu released this list calling it the "new moral yardstick to measure the work, conduct and attitude of Communist Party officials." It is being promulgated as the moral code for all Chinese, especially Communist Party cadres.

Translation of Hu's Socialist Concepts on Honours and Disgraces

On 18 October 2006, the Xinhua News Agency posted an English translation of Hu's list on the Internet as follows: [ [http://news3.xinhuanet.com/english/2006-10/18/content_5220576.htm Xinhua's Translation] ]
*"Love the country; do it no harm."
*"Serve the people; never betray them."
*"Follow science; discard superstition."
*"Be diligent; not indolent."
*"Be united, help each other; make no gains at other's expense."
*"Be honest and trustworthy; do not sacrifice ethics for profit."
*"Be disciplined and law-abiding; not chaotic and lawless."
*"Live plainly, work hard; do not wallow in luxuries and pleasures."

Reception

As the concept of Ba Rong Ba Chi is being promulgated, there has been a wave of parodies of the Ba Rong Ba Chi on the internet. Children in primary schools and kindergartens are also organized to learn the song which has been compiled with lyrics based on Ba Rong Ba Chi, and performed them in front of the government officials during routine inspection. "Ba Rong Ba Chi"'s reception with the Chinese public has been moderate.
