"Kinship Concealment":A Reexamination of Frontier Ethical Issues in Confu-cianism
"Kinship concealment"is a central issue in traditional Confucianism,and"relatives in hiding"es-sentially emphasizes that blood kinship transcends the state's order of justice.In Confucian social ethics,blood kinship is the basis for the continuity of human life,while social relations other than this one are neces-sary for the survival and development of human beings.The priority of the two in the order of value judgment determines the priority of the real behavior,and the contradiction will arise,manifested in the reality of the ten-sion between the kinship relationship and the order of justice of the state.The modern and widely-used"kin avoidance system"is an effective mechanism for resolving such conflicts.Therefore,"kinship concealment"has the dual legitimacy of ontology and actual system,and it can be harmonized with the Confucian bioethical principles.
