What kind of "Guangdong spirit" do we need? How does it relate to the Lingnan cultural spirit we discussed in the past?

On the Significance of Practicing "Guangdong Spirit"

The 11th Party Congress of Guangdong Province emphasized that to build a happy Guangdong, we must highlight the leading role of culture. It is necessary to vigorously publicize and practice the Guangdong spirit in the new period of "taking morality as sincerity, taking faith as sincerity and being sensitive to behavior" in the whole society. For the significance of practicing the "Guangdong Spirit" in the new period, the author briefly talks about his own views and communicates with you.

First, "thicker than morality" embodies the moral feelings and values of Cantonese people.

China's traditional culture is extensive and profound, and the construction of moral culture has always been valued by people. There is a saying in the Book of Changes that "morality is important". One's moral sentiment can reflect one's world outlook and values. The Book of Rites University says: Virtue is the foundation. Emphasizing self-cultivation is the cornerstone of traditional moral and emotional education. Confucian thinkers have long put forward the idea of "attaching importance to things, knowing knowledge, honesty, integrity, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, governing the country and leveling the world", and Confucian morality regards "five permanents" as the strategy of "governing the world" and the criterion of being a man.

Patriotism and love for the people is the main theme of China's traditional moral culture. Confucius' thought of "a gentleman is worried about Tao but not poverty", Fan Zhongyan's thought of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later", and Lin Zexu's thought of "living and dying for the country is selfish, but every cloud has a silver lining, why not do it" sublimated the Chinese nation's sense of hardship and patriotism to a higher level and inspired generations of people with lofty ideals in Guangdong. Wen Tianxiang's indomitable spirit, Yue Fei's loyal service to the country and Deng Shichang's desperate attitude have always been examples and models for Cantonese people to learn.

The enterprising spirit of self-improvement comes from the Book of Changes, which says, "A gentleman strives for self-improvement." . The traditional culture of China has left us many touching stories. Myths such as Dayu's flood control and Goddess's mending the sky all convey the humanistic spirit of self-improvement. Zhou Wenwang was arrested and played Zhouyi; Confucius wrote Spring and Autumn Annals; Qu Yuan's exile is a tribute to Li Sao. Zuo Qiu is blind and speaks Mandarin. Sun Tzu is tired of the art of war. Qin Fei, the prisoner of Han Fei's son, wrote Difficulties and Lonely Anger. Sima Qian wrote Historical Records because of castration. These ancient sages and sages have left behind masterpieces through the ages, and even more, they have left rich spiritual food for Cantonese people.

"Thicker than morality" is the source and foundation of Guangdong spirit. In the new historical period, it is necessary for Guangdong Province to further strengthen the ideological, moral and cultural construction and improve the ideological quality of the people. By organizing party member people to learn from the celebrities, heroes, heroes, contributions and selfless dedication of Lingnan area. To be an official, we must have good "official morality" and "political morality", adhere to the concept of governing for the people and enforcing the law for the people, and do practical things and do good things for the masses. Make the broad masses consciously abide by social morality, value peace and be brave. This will help * * * to build a harmonious society, show the spirit and character of Guangdong people, show the future value pursuit of Guangdong, and help all members of society to establish the moral concept of putting morality first and taking morality as the thing, and fully show the moral outlook of "Guangdong spirit".

Second, "honesty" shows the spiritual characteristics of Cantonese people.

As a citizen's moral standard, honesty is not only the basic code of conduct in the field of market economy, but also the basic code of ethics in the relationship between individuals and society, individuals and individuals.

Faith is the foundation of the foundation, but also the foundation of governing the country. Personal dishonesty is harmful to several people. Without social credibility, everyone is in danger, while the government lacks credibility, it is difficult to govern by virtue, and its authority has not been established. "Honesty" is the inevitable requirement of historical development.

Honesty and trustworthiness are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. In the Book of Changes, there is a saying: "God helps those who follow it; People who are helped believe it. This shows that as early as the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, "honesty" has become an important moral standard of our ancestors and a basic morality that people must abide by. Xia Zi, a disciple of Confucius, strongly advocated the concept of "making friends and keeping promises".

Honesty, as a moral norm, requires honesty, no self-deception or deception; Only by treating people sincerely and keeping promises in social communication can we win people's trust and mutual trust. Honesty means stressing credibility and keeping promises. In real life, friends can only get along with each other sincerely if they have credit; Neighborhood, with credit, can treat each other sincerely; In business, credit can win customers; To be an official in politics, it is possible to win the trust of the people with credit. In economic activities, enterprises should abide by contracts, respect contracts, never break their promises, and never cheat or cheat.

"Honesty and trustworthiness" is rooted in the long-standing commercial and cultural tradition of Guangdong people, showing the spirit of "sincerity to all directions and trust to the world" and the spirit of honesty and trustworthiness, obeying rules and being good at cooperation. "Honesty and trustworthiness" has also achieved the glory of Guangdong's reform and opening up. It is the cultural spirit of "honesty" that makes Guangdong attract and gather all kinds of resources at home and abroad in the process of reform and opening up, and promotes the all-round economic and social development. "Honesty and trustworthiness" has really won Guangdong a good reputation.

"Honesty and trustworthiness" is the requirement of Guangdong spirit. Strengthening party member's honest education for the people, resolutely cracking down on fraud and vigorously promoting sunshine management are conducive to enhancing people's trust in the government and enterprises, improving the working attitude of government officials and winning the trust of the people with practical actions; At present, in order to adhere to the reform direction of the socialist market economy, Guangdong must further carry forward the spirit of honesty, carry out the activities of "three strikes and two constructions" in depth, strengthen the construction of social credit system, create a good social environment that values credit, keeps promises and stresses honesty, promote the further improvement of the socialist market economic system, and highlight the requirements of the times of "Guangdong spirit".

Third, "Speak quickly" reproduces the spirit of Guangdong people who pay attention to practical work and dare to take responsibility.

The pragmatic attitude of "diligent in study, diligent in action and quick in thinking" constitutes the distinctive features of China's traditional culture. There is a saying in The Analects of Confucius: "A gentleman talks but doesn't do it", which emphasizes paying attention to practical work and doing good deeds quickly. "Doing things resolutely and vigorously" is a regional spiritual trait that contemporary Cantonese are proud of, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, be brave in striving for the first place, exploring and trying first. Second, he is good at grasping development opportunities, turning advanced ideas into actions in time, paying attention to practical work, acting sensitively, being pragmatic and unobtrusive. The third is to be flexible. Whenever faced with a major historical turning point, Cantonese people can always grasp and conform to the trend of the times in time, emancipate their minds, update their concepts, boldly innovate and focus on solving development problems. "Quick action" is the characteristic and motivation of Guangdong spirit. Especially in the great cause of reform and opening up, he dared to be the first in the world, bravely shouldered the historical burden, created the miracle of market economy with pragmatic style and practical spirit, and killed a bloody road for reform and opening up; In the process of promoting scientific development and social harmony, this pioneering spirit is also reflected in the practice of accelerating transformation and upgrading and building a happy Guangdong. In dealing with group emergencies, we can improvise, conform to the historical trend, resolve various social contradictions in time, embody the spirit of "dare to take responsibility" of government departments, and consciously safeguard social stability.

In a word, it is of great practical significance to practice the Guangdong spirit in the new period, which is "thicker than virtue, more sincere than faith and more sensitive than action".
