Eight Honors And Eight Shames
The Ba rong ba chi (Eight Honours 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 Honours and Disgraces, is a set of moral concepts developed by former General Secretary 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.

Famous quotes containing the words honors and/or shames:
“There is a moment when god honors falsehood.”
—Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)
“Good as is discourse, silence is better, and shames it. The length of the discourse indicates the distance of thought betwixt the speaker and the hearer. If they were at a perfect understanding in any part, no words would be necessary thereon. If at one in all parts, no words would be suffered.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
