Abstract:

Ancient Chinese official admonitions are "the way to be an official" expressed in the form of exhortation. With the improvement and maturity of the bureaucratic politics in ancient China， the official admonitions are changed from two words to one word， and extended from nouns to verbs. The content of the official proverbs has also evolved from focusing on moral exhortation to practical guidance and knowledge dissemination. The ancient Chinese official proverbs focus on the introspection and self-consciousness of the officials， which involves all aspects of the officials' moral standards， political principles and governance skills. It embodies the abundant political wisdom of the ancient Chinese officials， and explains the governance map of the traditional Chinese society. The political thought contained those is worth studying and referring in today's official morality construction and social governance inChina.
