摘要

The severe food safety problem in our country has caused public anxiety and crisis of confidence in the food safety supervision. And the "weak supervision" has become a target of public criticism. However, it is the lack of ethics that is the deep source. And Confucius food security concept is beyond individual physical demands on food, the spiritual, social development and national prosperity level, with a rich and deep thought. It focuses on enough food and good quality in the food production, on honesty and mutual-benefit in the food exchange, on enriching citizen in the food distribution, and on the simpleness and plainness in the food consumption. And Confucius food security concept has an enlightening influence on building China contemporary ethics system and protecting food safety.
