诚信是我国自古以来源远流长的政治意识形态和社会道德准则之一，也是现代中国国家理性的重要表现。诚信作为一种伦理政治价值观，承载着丰富的思想资源；今天它也产生了凝聚人心与维护公道的社会效益；而我国在前不久提出的二十四字社会主义核心价值观则将“诚信”提到了国家意识形态和精神文明建设的战略层面上，这不仅为诚信价值观夯实了新的理论基础，也为它的进一步发展和充实指明了方向。
Honesty is one of China’s political ideologies and social ethics since the ancient times. As an important ethical and political value，honesty carries rich ideological resources；today it still helps unite the people and maintain social justice；in the twenty-four-word socialist values proposed recently，honesty is put on the strategic level of state ideology and spiritual civilization，which not only consolidates a new theoretical foundation for honesty values，but also indicates the direction for its further development and enhancement.
