Examination and discipline constitute the cognitive premise of moral cultivation. It is a desire of the moral subject to consciously abandon evil and do good. Without this desire, moral cultivation is impossible to achieve. This method is proposed from the perspective of "suppressing evil" and is used to change "evil" behavior. As national public officials, while mastering moral knowledge, they should conscientiously carry out self-criticism, strictly demand themselves, consciously dissect themselves, regularly clean up and cleanse themselves of bad thoughts and habits, constantly resist and eliminate the erosion of various temptations, and maintain good moral integrity. conduct. Accumulate good deeds and become virtuous. The so-called "accumulating good deeds" means accumulating good deeds, connecting them together, consolidating them, and gradually condensing them into excellent moral character. A person's good deeds and buds of good virtue need to be carefully maintained, cultivated and carried forward so that they can continue to accumulate and grow, from temporary good deeds to long-term and stable good virtues, from small good deeds to great good deeds, from small virtues to great virtues. Virtue. This self-cultivation method is different from "examination, inspection and governance" which focuses on correcting mistakes and doing good. It focuses on the cultivation of "goodness". If state officials follow this method of cultivation, they can not only cultivate their good virtues or virtues, but also prevent the deterioration of their virtues. Noble moral character and moral personality cannot be developed overnight. It requires a long-term process of accumulating good deeds. As Comrade Mao Zedong said: "It is not difficult for a person to do some good deeds. What is difficult is to do good deeds all his life and not to do them." Bad things.”③ Unification of knowledge and action. To achieve the goal of moral cultivation, all the effort lies in "action". Since the process of moral cultivation is essentially a process of self-education, self-transformation, and self-improvement, whether it is carrying out self-criticism or striving to be "cautious about independence", it all depends on the "consciousness" of the moral subject. It is a key link in moral cultivation. Therefore, the moral cultivation of national public officials cannot just stay in words and theory, but must ultimately be implemented in action and be tempered in moral cultivation. Only on the basis of self-awareness can national public officials take advantage of various opportunities in social practice to cultivate their good moral character and improve their self-discipline ability to fight corruption and promote integrity. Strengthening the moral cultivation of national public officials can improve the self-discipline of national public officials in the fight against corruption. However, in the fight against corruption, punishment must be imposed in accordance with the law, and we must adhere to the principle of "treating both the symptoms and root causes, comprehensive management, both punishment and prevention, and focusing on prevention." "The strategic policy of "education is the foundation, the legal system is the guarantee, and supervision is the key. Through deepening reforms, we will continue to eradicate the soil where corruption breeds and spreads.
