As a moral standard of citizens, honesty refers to honesty, sincerity, credit and trust, that is, loyalty, honesty, sincerity, trust in others and trust in others. It is the "basic rule of public life" repeatedly mentioned in all life maxims for thousands of years.

In today's society, honesty is not only the cornerstone of morality, but also the basic norm of market economy-economic society ruled by law, and the "imperial clause" in civil legal norms. This is because honesty is not only personal virtue or goodwill to one's trading partners, but goodwill to all people in the market economy, including strangers and even foreigners, which is an absolutely necessary condition for civilization and order in modern society. Honesty is to oppose all immoral behaviors with non-coercive force, to maintain the normal order and security of society, especially to solve the problem of mutual distrust between strangers, which is also the fundamental requirement of market economy.

The reform and opening up and China's accession to the WTO have fully integrated China into the international community, and all college students in the 2nd/kloc-0th century will be "international citizens". It is the requirement of the times to establish modern legal consciousness and moral concept. As a combination of these two norms, honesty is an indispensable quality of an excellent college student. Because college students will be the absolute main force, whether it is rejuvenating the country through science and education or foreign exchange, the mental outlook and national quality of China people should be displayed on outstanding college students. Moral construction is not only the behavior of groups, but also the spiritual civilization of a country. Moral construction is also a personal behavior, which embodies the self-discipline of human spiritual civilization. As cultural elites, college students should turn the cultivation of honesty into conscious consciousness and behavior.

At present, it is very necessary to carry out moral construction among college students. College students should strengthen "cultivation" while "reading" to prevent their knowledge level and moral level from being seriously out of balance. On the one hand, college students' moral education should overcome the tendency of pure cultural courses, that is, paying too much attention to the knowledge and grading of moral education courses, diluting the humanistic spirit of moral education courses and turning moral education courses into ordinary cultural courses, which will dilute the soul of moral education in colleges and universities.

On the other hand, college students should also correct their attitude towards moral education courses and consciously accept moral education. The moral construction of college students should pay attention to self-discipline and self-education, advocate building a new civilization from me, and start from the small things in life. "Don't do the good and the evil." College students should start with honesty and be pioneers in moral construction.

Honesty is the basic content of citizens' moral education in China. As a moral requirement, honesty is the foundation and basis of all morals, the most important moral quality of human beings and the cornerstone of a society's survival and development. Whether college students, as outstanding citizens and future builders of the motherland, have honest moral quality is a major issue related to the smooth progress of the socialist market economy, and it is also a realistic topic before us educators.

At present, although major universities always regard honesty education as the center of moral education, the repeated phenomena such as cheating in exams, maliciously defaulting on student loans, fake diplomas and fake academic qualifications are still on the rise, which not only highlights the objective fact that some college students have a honesty crisis, but also sounds an alarm for honesty education in colleges and universities. The effect of honesty education in colleges and universities is not good, and the honesty crisis of college students calls for colleges and universities to strengthen honesty education for college students and build a perfect and effective honesty and moral construction system. Aiming at the present situation and outstanding problems of college students' honesty, this paper deeply analyzes its roots and discusses how to build a harmonious university in the new period.
