The wind is formed at the top, and the vulgar form is at the bottom. The style of life and the taste of life of leading cadres have a bearing not only on their own conduct and image, but also on the party's prestige and image among the masses. There are many anecdotes in this regard, and there are two small allusions that still have strong warning significance when read today. One is the "Compilation of Anecdotes of the Song People" records: Qian Yu entered the treasure rhino belt, and Taizu said: "I have three belts, which is different from this." Please declare, and said with a smile: "One Bianhe, one Huimin River, and one Wuzhang River." "I'm ashamed. The other is the record of "Nancun Dropout Cultivation Record: Foot Binding": Empress Li's concubine and concubine are delicate and good at dancing, and the queen lord orders the lady to wrap her feet around her feet with silk, and dance in the clouds with socks, and there is a state of Lingyun in the whirlwind. "Everyone is effective, the bow is wonderful, and those who don't are ashamed." These two allusions, one positive and one negative, show that the attitude of the leader in the details of life is by no means a trivial matter.

It is an important measure to correct customs and govern the country since ancient times. The ancients said: "If you don't bow down and don't kiss, the common people don't believe it." There is a saying in the Analects: "Politicians are righteous." Zi Shuai is upright, who dares to be upright? "Mencius" also says: "Those who are good at the top must have those who are very bad below." 'The virtue of a gentleman, the wind; The virtue of the villain, the grass also. The wind on the grass will die'. In the folk saying, there are also sayings such as "the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked". The two stories of Song Taizu and Li Houzhu give strong confirmation from both positive and negative aspects.

Qian Yu is the grandson of Qian Biao and the last king of Wuyue during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Song Taizu pacified Jiangnan, Qian Yu rejected the Southern Tang Dynasty's request for help, sent troops to help the Song Dynasty destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then surrendered to the Song Dynasty. According to historical records, after the surrender, Qian Yu presented Song Taizu with a rare costume, but Song Taizu said: "What is the use of offering this thing in my house!" "The Compilation of Anecdotes of the Song People" includes the story of Qian Yu offering a valuable belt to Song Taizu, but was ridiculed, portraying the upright image of Song Taizu who attaches great importance to the country's social welfare. Although Qian Yu is the king of the dead country, but he follows the instructions of Qian Biao, with the safety of the common people in the world as the thought, surrender to the Song Dynasty to avoid a war, the people of Wu Yue deeply feel their grace, and there are still monuments such as the Temple of King Qian and the Baochu Pagoda to commemorate him by the West Lake.

There have been different opinions about when the bad habit of foot binding originated, and according to the record of "Nancun Dropout Record - Foot Binding", some people put forward the theory that foot binding began in five generations. On the basis of the aesthetics of the Tang people's obsession with "bow shoes", Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, ingeniously wrapped this kind of bow shoes with a long cloth and danced with plain socks to make the dance more beautiful. The world followed suit, and the beauty of the slender bow shows the amazing power of the upward and downward effects.

When he was in charge of Zhejiang, Xi Jinping told two allusions, one positive and one negative, to explain the role that the rulers can play in setting an example for the upward and downward effects. Xi Jinping has repeatedly made it clear that leading cadres at all levels need to take the lead in setting an example in the construction of work style. At the first plenary session of the 18 th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he quoted the phrase "those who want to be upright show their appearance, and those who want to be honest are the first to be honest," stressing that the work style of leading cadres, especially senior cadres, has an important impact on the party's work style, government style, and even the entire social atmosphere. At the Second Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, he once again said, "Those who are good at forbidding will first ban themselves and then others."

Xi Jinping has been a practitioner of this concept since he was a young man. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, an important reason for the formation of a good situation in which the party's heart and public opinion resonate at the same frequency is that the central leading comrades have done their own work and have done it at a higher rate. From taking the lead in abiding by the "Eight Regulations" to rectifying the "four winds" with heavy fists, from openly and honestly criticizing and self-criticism, to practicing the "three stricts and three realities", the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee insisted on starting from itself and setting an example to establish the credibility of Lixin, which has produced a strong demonstration effect in the whole party and the whole country.
