Thoughts on how to promote the creation of a clean government culture

As a new cultural phenomenon, the culture of integrity has a deeper and subtle effect compared with fundamental measures such as system construction and source governance. Developing a culture of clean government is a requirement for implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" and developing an advanced culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is a requirement for maintaining the advanced nature of Communists. It is also a requirement for establishing a system that pays equal attention to education, systems, and supervision to punish and prevent corruption. system requirements. To continuously improve the ability to prevent corruption and carry out in-depth construction of party style and clean government and anti-corruption struggle, it is necessary to use the culture of clean government as the support and motivation. Strengthening the construction of a culture of clean government is an important innovation of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary in leading the construction of a clean government and the fight against corruption. General Secretary Hu Jintao emphasized that the construction of a culture of clean government should be regarded as an important part of building an advanced socialist culture, and the working mechanism of anti-corruption education should be further improved to form an overall synergy of anti-corruption education. It is necessary to promote a culture of clean government and promote the formation of a good custom in the whole society that takes integrity as a matter of pride and corruption as a shame. The so-called culture of clean government refers to people’s knowledge, beliefs, and norms about clean government, as well as the lifestyles and social evaluations that adapt to them. Once a culture is accepted by people, its influence on human behavior and social value orientation will be fundamental, long-term, and extensive. As a new cultural phenomenon, the culture of integrity has a deeper and subtle effect than the anti-corruption struggle based on fundamental measures such as system construction and source governance. If disciplinary action is compared to injury, and expulsion from the party and the end of political life is compared to death, although not all those punished may be due to corruption, the number of people who fell due to corruption will definitely exceed the number of casualties in our army in the "three major battles". Therefore, it is particularly important and urgent to vigorously promote the construction of a clean government culture among cadres and deeply understand the significance of strengthening the construction of a clean government culture. 1. The current status of the construction of a clean government culture at this stage (1) The main body of the construction of a clean government culture deviates. Integrity culture can reflect the development status of spiritual civilization construction and political civilization construction in a region, and reflect the status and level of integrity in a region and society. Therefore, local party committees and governments at all levels should become the main body of the construction of integrity culture. However, from the current reality , the culture of integrity has become a specific task undertaken by the discipline inspection and supervision departments at all levels, and has formed a "single-soldier" model of discipline inspection and supervision departments in many areas, resulting in a situation where social recognition is not high and each unit passively participates in coping, making The effectiveness of the clean government culture cannot be effectively exerted and reflected. (2) The object of building a clean government culture is unclear. Advanced culture must express the fundamental will of the overwhelming majority of the people and requires the participation, inheritance and promotion of the broad masses, so that it can deeply forge the vitality, creativity and cohesion of the nation. However, in specific work, administrative units and cadres are often regarded as the main targets of publicity on clean government culture, and education on party style and discipline, clean government and diligent work are often strengthened, while education and publicity on enterprises, institutions and the general public are basically on the fringes and do not attract enough attention. As a result, the culture of clean government lacks a mass foundation, which greatly reduces the penetration, appeal and influence of the culture of clean government. (3) There are deviations in ideological understanding. Due to the deviation of the main body, it is common for leaders to general cadres to build a culture of clean government. It is a matter for the disciplinary inspection and supervision departments at all levels. It is implemented only when arranged by the disciplinary inspection and supervision departments. The wrong understanding leads to the fact that each unit will hardly take the initiative to participate in the construction of a culture of clean government. . (4) The mass base is weak. Due to insufficient publicity and education, most people currently have a vague concept of the construction of a clean government culture. When it comes to "clean government culture", they think that it is a matter for the party committee and the government, a matter for leading cadres, and has little to do with ordinary cadres and ordinary people. , resulting in low enthusiasm and initiative of the masses to participate, and the atmosphere of building a clean government culture is not strong enough. 2. Analysis of the causes of existing problems 1. The purpose is unclear. Some places and units blindly deal with the construction of a clean government culture. I heard that inspections, surprise arrests, and year-end assessments are required, and they are improvised. Some lack the initiative to work and do not have scientific, complete, and operable plans, which leads to clueless work and ineffective construction. The main reason is the cognitive deviation, failure to seriously study the characteristics of a clean government culture, and ignoring the great practical significance of the construction of a clean government culture.

The first is to equate the culture of clean government with the education of clean government, and believe that the construction of a culture of clean government is activities such as "teaching party classes, making reports, and setting examples"; the second is that the objects of the construction of a culture of clean government are equated with leading cadres. Many party members and cadres believe that the construction of a culture of clean government is important. The key point is to prevent leaders from having problems. They neither hold power nor care about money, nor people. It is impossible to be corrupt. Without the conditions for corruption, it is redundant "formalism" and "leadership disease" to carry out the construction of a clean government culture in the whole society. , giving medicine and injections to the masses.” The third is to equate the culture of clean government with the culture of honest officials. The construction of a culture of clean government that is being carried out in some places mostly uses "honest officials" from feudal society as models for propaganda of clean government. Ancient honest officials have become the image spokespersons of today's construction of a culture of clean government. 2. Unbalanced development. In a few places, there is an imbalance of "three hots" and "three colds" in the construction of a clean government culture. That is, the community is hot but the institutions are cold. A few unit and department leaders do not pay attention to it. Employees do not understand it. There is no arrangement for work. The tasks are unclear. There are many slogans but little content. The disciplinary inspection agencies are hot but other departments are cold. The disciplinary inspection agencies perform a "one-legged dance". Other departments do not participate in the "chorus"; cities are hot, rural areas are cold, and very few places have not even put the construction of a clean government culture on their work agenda. The reason is that the research on the construction of a clean government culture is not in-depth enough. Some people think that the construction of a clean government culture can be grasped or not, so they push it if they can, delay it if they can, and treat the construction of a clean government culture as a separate matter; some think that the construction of a clean government culture should be grasped. It is the same to catch too many and too little, so there is a phenomenon of one hand being hard and the other being soft; some people believe that the culture of integrity, as a new cultural phenomenon, has a deeper and subtle effect compared with fundamental measures such as system construction and source control. Developing a culture of clean government is a requirement for implementing the important thought of "Three Represents" and developing an advanced culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It is a requirement for maintaining the advanced nature of Communists. It is also a requirement for establishing a system that pays equal attention to education, systems, and supervision to punish and prevent corruption. system requirements. To continuously improve the ability to prevent corruption and carry out in-depth construction of party style and clean government and anti-corruption struggle, it is necessary to use the culture of clean government as the support and motivation. 3. The mechanism is not smooth. The main manifestations are: there is a system for work, but the measures are weak; there is a team for work, but few people participate in it; responsibilities are divided, but few people pay close attention to implementation. The reason is that the current capital investment mechanism, integrity culture education mechanism, integrity culture assessment and inspection mechanism, and the division of labor and cooperation mechanism for the construction of a clean government culture are not matching, sound, standardized, and perfect, and are inconsistent with the current construction situation. Adaptation has resulted in a few departments not really taking the construction of a clean government culture as their own business. In particular, insufficient capital investment has become the biggest obstacle to the construction of a clean government culture. 4. Judging from the overall performance on the surface, the social market occupied by the culture of clean government is not broad. Whether it is in public places such as urban streets or rural villages, the most dazzling thing is product advertisements, while public service advertisements on clean government culture are hard to find; bookstores, libraries, reading rooms, and audio-visual product stores are the places with the strongest cultural atmosphere. However, there are very few anti-corruption culture books, newspapers, and videos in these cultural places. Also in the ideological field, the clean government culture still faces severe challenges from the decadent culture. "Relationship studies", "thick black studies" and "hidden rules" are talked about by people. There are also some people who are not very proactive in consciously accepting the clean government culture. Many people believe that those who accept the culture of clean government should be leading cadres and party members. Since they have no position or power and have no conditions for corruption, it does not matter whether they accept the culture of clean government or not. Of course, more people still recognize the edifying role of a culture of clean government, but they still believe that the penetration rate of the culture of clean government is too slow and the effect is not obvious, and it is not as effective as severe punishments and laws. 5. Look at the overall organizational situation. First, there is the issue of awareness. The culture of clean government has not yet formed the awareness of long-term and unremitting efforts. It is carried out as arranged by superiors. After the completion of phase tasks, there is generally no continuity in the construction of a culture of clean government. The second is the issue of coordination. The construction of a clean government culture is decoupled from the construction of a legal culture and spiritual civilization. The three cultures should complement and promote each other. However, due to different subjects, the construction of a clean government culture has not been effectively coordinated with the publicity of laws, regulations, and citizen ethics. In combination, knowledge of laws and regulations and citizen ethics have not been vigorously promoted using the carrier of clean government culture. The third is a methodological problem. Integrity culture has not yet occupied a mainstream position in the entire cultural field. There are not many activities and the content is not rich, so mass participation is not extensive enough. Strengthening the construction of a culture of clean government is an important innovation of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary in leading the construction of a clean government and the fight against corruption.

General Secretary Hu Jintao emphasized that the construction of a culture of clean government should be regarded as an important part of building an advanced socialist culture, and the working mechanism of anti-corruption education should be further improved to form an overall synergy of anti-corruption education. It is necessary to promote a culture of clean government and promote the formation of a good custom in the whole society that takes integrity as a matter of pride and corruption as a shame. The so-called culture of clean government refers to people’s knowledge, beliefs, and norms about clean government, as well as the lifestyles and social evaluations that adapt to them. Once a culture is accepted by people, its influence on human behavior and social value orientation will be fundamental, long-term, and extensive. As a new cultural phenomenon, the culture of integrity has a deeper and subtle effect than the anti-corruption struggle based on fundamental measures such as system construction and source governance. If disciplinary action is compared to injury, and expulsion from the party and the end of political life is compared to death, although not all those punished may be due to corruption, the number of people who fell due to corruption will definitely exceed the number of casualties in our army in the "three major battles". Therefore, it is particularly important and urgent to vigorously promote the construction of a clean government culture among cadres and deeply understand the significance of strengthening the construction of a clean government culture. 3. Some thoughts on further promoting the construction of a clean government culture. Strengthening the construction of a clean government culture must be based on local realities, clarify the main body, highlight characteristics, advance in layers, and focus on mass participation. (1) Focus on government agencies, enterprises, institutions and party members and cadres, and conscientiously carry out anti-corruption cultural education activities to enhance the integrity and self-discipline awareness of party members and cadres. 1. Highlight key points and promote the construction of a clean government culture. The first is to strengthen the ideological and moral construction of party members and cadres. Focusing on studying the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we will carry out in-depth education on the latest achievements of Marxism in China, education on world outlook, outlook on life, values, and correct outlook on power, status, and interests, strengthen the ideological and moral defense of party members and cadres, and enable the general public to Party members and cadres have always maintained their firm belief in Marxism and socialism with Chinese characteristics and will not waver at any time. The second is to carry out party style and party discipline education. We must persist in carrying out education on the Party’s basic theory, basic line, basic program, and basic experience, the Party’s fine traditions and style, education on the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, and education on the scientific outlook on development and the correct outlook on political achievements. We should carry out in-depth education on the socialist core value system, guide party members and cadres to conscientiously fulfill the rights and obligations of party members, know honors and disgrace, enhance party spirit, establish conduct, and lay a solid ideological and political foundation for honest and honest administration. The third is to carry out discipline education. Focus on studying the "Compilation of Several Provisions on the Integrity of Party Members and Leading Cadres in Political Affairs", the "Civil Servant Law", the "Regulations on the Punishment of Civil Servants in Administrative Agencies", the "Regulations of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection Strictly Prohibiting the Abuse of Positions to Seek Improper Interests", the Second Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Integrity of the State Council meeting, the spirit of the Second Plenary Session of the 11th Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, etc., to enhance the awareness of diligence, integrity and law-abiding among cadres and employees. The fourth is to carry out purpose education. Educate party members and cadres to firmly establish the public opinion and public servant consciousness, take the voice of the people as the first signal, the needs of the people as the first choice, and the satisfaction of the people as the first criterion, keep in mind the purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, and sincerely do more good things for the people , do more practical things, solve the most direct and practical problems that the people are most concerned about, and always be a loyal public servant of the people. The fifth is to carry out professional ethics education. Organize party members and cadres to conscientiously study the "Implementation Outline for Civic Morality Construction" and professional ethics codes in all walks of life, and guide everyone to model compliance with professional ethics, social ethics, and family virtues. Sixth, carry out typical demonstration education and warning education. We should use the advanced typical figures around us as examples, carry out typical demonstration education, guide the majority of party members and cadres to learn from the advanced figures' spirit of loyalty to the party and the people, loyalty to their duties, caring for the masses, diligence and dedication, and courageous dedication, and educate the majority of cadres and workers to keep the party's purpose in mind, The party is founded for the public good and governs for the people. Taking negative teaching materials such as Chen Liangyu's as an example, we often carry out warning education to guide party members to consciously resist the erosion of various decadent ideas and enhance their awareness of clean and honest government. The seventh is to carry out anti-corruption education. Organize party members and cadres to study the relevant laws and regulations of the party and the country, integrate anti-corruption and integrity education into all aspects of training, selection, management, and supervision of party members and cadres, adhere to the combination of education and management, self-discipline and other disciplines, and supervise party members and cadres, especially leaders Cadres should strengthen their party spirit, enhance their awareness of self-discipline, practice official ethics, and continuously improve their immunity. 2. Innovate forms, enrich carriers, and enhance the penetration of clean government culture construction. One is to hang mottos on clean government. Hang up mottos and pictures of clean government in conspicuous places in the offices of government agencies to warn and educate party members and cadres to be honest, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and work conscientiously. The second is to take good courses on clean political parties.

The top leaders of each unit took the lead in carrying out the "Teach a good lesson, educate everyone" activity, teaching integrity courses to all party members and cadres, and improving the consciousness and initiative of all party members and cadres to resist corruption and prevent degeneration. The third is to carry out interesting and healthy cultural and sports activities. All units should extensively carry out activities such as reading, reading good books, various skill speeches, and cultural and sports competitions, constantly enriching the spiritual and cultural life of cadres, and cultivating the good habits of cadres who are interested, healthy, courteous, and honest. The fourth is to launch a knowledge competition on clean governance. Organize cadres in a timely manner to participate in knowledge competitions such as speeches on clean government, prevention of occupational crimes, civilized etiquette, etc., to enhance the awareness of clean government among party members and cadres. Fifth, it is necessary to hang anti-corruption display boards or posters such as "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" in the office areas of townships and grassroots units, set up reading rooms in village communities, purchase anti-corruption books, set up anti-corruption cultural bulletin boards and anti-corruption mailboxes, and expand the scope of publicity. Broaden social supervision channels. (2) Highlight regional characteristics, integrate clean government culture into more cultural development areas, and enhance the appeal of clean government culture. 1. Highlight characteristics and enhance the attractiveness of clean government culture. The first is to give full play to the advantages of the ethnic minority people in "talking and singing, walking and dancing", integrating the culture of clean government into national art, and expressing it in an "original" way, so that the ethnic minority people can subtly recognize knowledge, perception, accumulation, and inheritance, thereby enhancing the attractiveness and appeal of the clean government culture. The second is to increase positive publicity and guidance, vigorously promote advanced models such as Wang Ying in the publicity content, occupy the ideological "position" of the people in farming and pastoral areas with a healthy and progressive culture of clean government, and build a solid ideological "position" of party members and cadres in farming and pastoral areas. Moral defense. 2. Focus on exploring and improving the appeal of traditional folk art. It is necessary to further strengthen the collection and protection of folk art, timely refine advanced cultural concepts in culture, deeply explore and develop folk culture and grassland culture, integrate cultural resources, combine the characteristics of clean government culture in the new era, and carry forward and promote traditional Chinese culture in well-known ways such as folk playing and singing. Inherit the cultural concept of clean government, integrate it into folk art, and spread it widely in a unique folk way to form a unique regional culture and promote the great development and prosperity of ethnic area culture. 3. Promote local ethnic culture and enhance the cohesion of the masses. Propaganda on anti-corruption culture must highlight reality, be close to the masses, and rely on the beliefs of the masses to carry out publicity and education. It is necessary to combine the local national culture such as Akan playing and singing with the advanced cultural concepts of socialism with Chinese characteristics, study and disseminate advanced culture through the establishment of cultural centers and cultural corridors, and in a step-by-step manner, inherit the ideas of clean government, The concept and theory of clean government demonstrate the effect of clean government education, enhance the party's charisma, the penetration of Buddhist culture and the cohesion of the masses. (3) Put people first, highlight the popular and extensive nature, and guide the masses to participate extensively in the construction of a clean government culture. 1. Close to the lives of the masses and vigorously carry out all-round, multi-level activities to create a clean government culture that is popular with the masses. The first is to put people first and enhance the persuasiveness of the clean government culture. The starting point and goal is to meet people's cultural needs, enrich people's spiritual life, and improve people's moral cultivation, give full play to the subtle characteristics of culture, and close to reality, life, and the masses through sound, tangible, tangible, and emotional publicity activities. , educational and entertaining cultural activities to enhance the persuasiveness, attraction, appeal and affinity of the clean government culture. The second is to use communities and villages as units to give full play to the advantages of "big propaganda" on party style and clean government, and use blackboard newspapers, radio, television, wall newspapers, movies, advertisements and other forms to increase the publicity and education of clean government culture and continuously increase the participation of cadres and the masses in anti-corruption. Passion for integrity. 2. Expand channels for promoting clean government culture and carry out various forms of anti-corruption education. We must insist that party members and cadres and the broad masses of the people are the main body of the construction of a clean government culture, and improve the penetration and effectiveness of the clean government culture in the form of activities that are rich in content and easy to understand. The first is to carry out activities to promote clean government culture in agricultural and pastoral areas. Activities such as setting up cultural and artistic stages, singing operas about laws, regulations and policies, and "delivering laws, books, and operas" to rural and pastoral areas are used to combine the construction of a clean government culture with the activities of creating civilized towns, villages, and families, and use methods that the masses like to see and hear, to bring the party to the forefront. Books, materials, pictures, leaflets and related knowledge on clean government are sent to rural and pastoral areas to create a strong atmosphere for building a clean government culture. The second is to carry out anti-corruption culture activities on campus. In the form of entertainment and education, we educate students on laws, regulations and patriotism, promote the culture of clean government, and disseminate knowledge of clean government, so that students can be influenced and educated in a subtle way. At the same time, we will increase supervision of Internet cafes and cultural markets to purify the spiritual and cultural life of young people. The third is to carry out activities to promote clean government culture into the market.

With the theme of "Integrity Management, Integrity and Self-Discipline", we integrate the culture of integrity into corporate production and operation and market supervision, and regularly carry out activities such as integrity management, law-abiding operations, and clean management education among business households. Organize and carry out evaluation activities such as civilized market, star market, advanced private enterprise, five good self-employed households, and honest business households to set up models and promote new trends. At the same time, we carry out anti-corruption knowledge competitions, knowledge tests, cultural and sports competitions and other activities among the majority of individual business households, organize business households to watch anti-corruption movies, publish anti-corruption public service advertisements, post anti-corruption slogans, and hang anti-corruption posters in the market to create a strong sense of anti-corruption. cultural atmosphere. The fourth is to carry out anti-corruption culture activities in the community. Closely following the theme of anti-corruption and promoting integrity, we combine the construction of a clean government culture with the creation of community culture and safe communities through various forms of cultural and artistic programs, calligraphy and painting exhibitions, and publicity of laws and regulations, etc., and carry out effective publicity activities in the community. Sing a song of righteousness against corruption and promote integrity, so that the community can be influenced by the culture of clean government while having leisure and entertainment. The fifth is to carry out activities to promote clean government culture into families. With the theme of "striving to be an honest internal helper and establishing a good family tradition", we carry out educational activities for party members and cadres to help their families with integrity. Strengthen the education of party members and cadres, especially the spouses and children of leading cadres, and enhance the integrity awareness of the family members of party members and cadres by giving away books and newspapers on clean government and carrying out activities such as "talking about integrity, praising integrity, thinking about integrity, and observing integrity", and strengthen the integrity of party members and cadres to resist corruption. An anti-change family defense line. We will use holidays, weddings and funerals to issue integrity reminder letters and letters of condolence to the families of leading cadres, and inform them of the disciplinary regulations for honest administration. Integrate family education on integrity with family virtue education, and carry out activities such as creating a clean family and selecting "incorruptible domestic helpers". Timely summarize advanced models and publicize them widely throughout society. Actively guide the families of party members and cadres to take the lead in changing customs and advocate a clean, diligent, thrifty, healthy and civilized lifestyle and social customs. (4) Comprehensive means to three-dimensionally promote the culture of clean government. First, give full play to the role of various cultural positions. Make full use of radio, television, newspapers and other media to vigorously publicize clean government affairs, write clean government books, make clean government films, and advocate clean government practices to achieve educational effects in a subtle way. The second is to make full use of modern scientific and technological means, innovate carriers, and actively build a clean government cultural information platform. For example, create anti-corruption columns on television, radio, newspapers and other media, set up anti-corruption forums, regularly broadcast special films on party style and anti-corruption publicity and education, and hold forum activities. Spread the culture of clean government into the new field of the Internet, and use the Internet to resolve doubts through effective information exchange. The third is to give full play to the role models and demonstration role of advanced typical figures. Among government officials, learning from role models such as Jiao Yulu, Kong Fansen, Zheng Peimin, and Ren Changxia who have influenced generations of people, and re-increasing the propaganda of these typical models will help promote integrity in the whole society and guide the majority of party members and cadres to follow their example. Enhance the consciousness of using advanced models to inspire, compare and warn yourself, so as to build a solid ideological and moral defense line against corruption and change. The establishment and publicity of advanced models can play a powerful role in promoting and guiding the cultivation of a culture of clean government. In addition, we can also promote the social culture of integrity, honesty and trustworthiness, dedication to work, fairness and decency in party and government agencies by promoting the advanced figures around us, create a cultural atmosphere of clean government in agencies, standardize the thoughts and political behaviors of agency staff, and enhance The awareness of political integrity among agency staff should be established to establish an image of serving the people, being pragmatic and honest, and encouraging party members and cadres to make extraordinary achievements in ordinary positions. The fourth is to establish an integrity evaluation mechanism. By carrying out activities such as evaluation organs and under the supervision of the masses, we can organically combine the construction of a clean government culture with strengthening the ideological construction of leadership groups at all levels, the ideological and style construction of agency cadres, the implementation of the party style and clean government responsibility system, and anti-corruption and anti-corruption work. , conduct regular surveys and evaluations. Integrity assessment can not only attract all walks of life and the general public to pay more attention to the construction of a clean government, participate in the construction of a clean government, support the construction of a clean government, and promote a social atmosphere of clean government, but the quantitative method itself is also the most intuitive, convenient and scientific method, which is strongly advocated This approach is very meaningful for further promoting anti-corruption work and building a clean government culture. Vigorously promoting the construction of a clean government culture and resolutely abandoning the influence of "non-corrupt" culture is an objective requirement to build a party style and clean government education system under the new situation of reform and opening up and always maintain the party's advanced nature. It is also an objective requirement to conscientiously implement the 17th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The spirit of the Third Plenary Session and General Secretary Hu Jintao’s important speeches are important measures to effectively prevent and control corruption.

Carry out the construction of a clean government culture, create an atmosphere of respect and respect for integrity in the whole party and society, and actively explore new ways to fight corruption and promote integrity; strengthen in-depth thinking on the significance and role of a clean government culture, so as to use the unique role of the clean government culture to promote anti-corruption work. Keep going deeper.
