What exactly do the eight regulations mean?

To do a good job in investigation and research, we should thoroughly understand the real situation, sum up experience, study problems, solve difficulties, guide work, learn from the masses, connect with reality, have more discussions with the masses, have more heart-to-heart talks with cadres, discuss more typical cases, and go to places where difficulties and contradictions are concentrated and the masses have more opinions. Don't go through the motions and engage in formalism.

To arrive without pomp, reduce the accompanying, simplify the reception, do not post banners, do not arrange special people to see you off, do not lay welcome carpets, do not place flowers and plants, and do not arrange banquets.

Legal analysis:

The eight regulations require us to strengthen our political beliefs and cultivate and carry forward the ideological style of being loyal to the party and never fading. A firm political belief is the highest political requirement of party member's ideological style, and it is the core of establishing and carrying forward the fine style.

The first is to strengthen theoretical arms. Insist on arming the mind with the Party's innovative theory, so as to learn, understand, believe and use, and strengthen political belief, correct value orientation and correct code of conduct in the process of constantly transforming the subjective and objective world.

The second is to strengthen the concept of party spirit. Constantly strengthen party member's consciousness, strictly live within the Party, abide by Party rules and regulations, implement the system of organizational life, and strive to make the ideological style adapt to the nature and purpose of the Party, conform to the Party's line, principles and policies, and conform to the Party's advanced requirements.
