Abstract: The ideas such as “loyalty, rightness, benevolence, wisdom, honesty and courageousness” advocated in Guan Gong culture not only include oriental Confucian moral values but also are similar to some extent to the values such as “truth, good, beauty, fairness, justice and freedom” in Western philosophy. In the evolution of Guan Gong culture, the ruling class played an important role. To remold national core value system, which is essential to the construction of a harmonious society, the government should function as the leading promoter and executor in recalling the memory of common people and renovating traditional culture. Advocating Guan Gong culture guided by the government is conducive not only to the reconstructing of a socialist core value system but also to the re-rising of Chinese culture in the stage of the world.
