——"Speech at the Second Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection" and other articles

■Interpretation

The influence of "frugality" and "luxury" on a person's self-cultivation is vividly presented in the strong contrast between "prosperity of all kinds" and "indulgence of all evils". Comrade Xi Jinping's quotation of this sentence shows that thrift and luxury are not only a matter of personal life, but also related to the cultivation of party spirit and the virtue of government of leading cadres. It is precisely for this reason that the central authorities have not only dealt with the trend of extravagance with heavy fists, but also promulgated the "Regulations on Strict Economy and Opposition to Waste in Party and Government Organs", which fixed the opposition to waste in the form of intra-party laws and regulations, and set a "red line" for those who are extravagant and wasteful through rigid institutional constraints, strict system implementation, effective supervision and inspection, and strict punishment mechanisms. In this regard, Comrade Xi Jinping also quoted the words of an article in the "People's Daily" to emphasize: If you are clean, your mind will be elegant, if you are clean, you will be full of righteousness, if you are clean, you will not invade all poisons, and if you are clean, you will return to your heart.

■Original text

——(Qing) Jin Ying, "Aphorisms and Bowing"

■Definition

Compiled by the Qing Dynasty scholar Jin Ying, "Aphorisms Lianbi" is a collection of the words of the sages of the past dynasties, which can be called an all-encompassing treasure trove of aphorisms. The whole book is organized by categories, including "learning", "preservation", "bowing" (with "regency"), "dunpin", "handling things", "receiving things", "Qi family", "politics", "Huiji" and "rebels", a total of ten categories. These aphorisms are a wake-up call, inspiring and educating people to seek truth, goodness, and beauty.

"If you are thrifty, you will make a covenant, and if you make a covenant, you will be prosperous; Extravagance is wanton, and wanton is evil. "From the "Aphorisms" "Bowing" category. Meaning: thrift will have moderation, and moderation will lead to the rise of all goodness; Extravagance will be presumptuous, and presumptuous will cause all kinds of evils to explode.

Advocating frugality and abstaining from luxury is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Mozi said: "Frugality leads to prosperity, and obscenity leads to death." Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments" has "quiet self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue". Historically, Qin Mugong pursued the political concept of "gaining by frugality and losing by luxury", governed the country diligently and thriftily, and laid a solid foundation for Qin's strength and even later unification; Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty advocated diligence and thrift, "spared money on the terrace", and avoided luxury, thus creating the "rule of Wenjing".

"Xi Jinping's Dictionary (Volume I)" is frugal and covenanting, and covenant is prosperous; Extravagance is wanton, and wanton is evil. I am hitting it in my hand, please wait a moment,
