For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place and the stars arch over.

——Quoted in "Zhijiang New Language, Read More, Cultivate Political Virtue" and other articles

■Interpretation

Virtue is not only the foundation of "self-establishment", but also the foundation of "founding a country". It attaches importance to self-cultivation with virtue, and also attaches importance to morality in politics. This is the essence of China's traditional culture and is also a striking feature of China's political ideology. Our party is good at inheriting the excellent historical and cultural heritage, and based on reality to carry out contemporary interpretations of the ancient idea of rule by virtue, it is precisely in this way that we can strengthen the building of the cadre ranks.

"Governing with virtue", first, the ruler should govern with virtue and treat the people well in order to win the support of the people; The second is to educate and influence the people with their own moral behavior. Zi Shuai is upright, who dares to be upright? If we want to achieve "righteousness", we must introspect, self-discipline, self-blame, self-denial, and constantly improve our own quality. "The way of politics is to learn more", the best way to cultivate ethics and improve the moral realm of politics is to strengthen learning, study and cultivate morality, and integrate knowledge and action into practice. The broad masses of party members and cadres should develop the habit of reading more books and reading good books, so that reading and studying will become an important way to transform their minds and strengthen their self-cultivation, and an effective means to purify their souls and cultivate noble sentiments.

——(Spring and Autumn) Confucius, "Analects and Politics"

■Definition

This passage embodies Confucius's idea of "virtue for government". Virtue in government means that those in power should practice rule by virtue. North Star: North Star. Altogether: the same as "arch", the meaning of surrounding. The meaning of the whole sentence is that those in power govern the country with virtue, like the North Star, where they dwell, and the other stars surround it in an orderly manner.

Confucius's idea of "virtue for government" inherited and developed the idea of "Mingde and prudent punishment" of Zhou Gong in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. For the chaos of the nations in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius believed that it was the result of "the collapse of etiquette and music, and the lack of Tao in the world". In order to change the world from the world to the world, Confucius traveled around the world, advocating the rule of virtue and opposing harsh government. He highlighted the political significance of "virtue", believed that "virtue" was one of the criteria for distinguishing "benevolent monarch" from "tyrant", and advocated the implementation of "moral government". In Confucius's view, only when those in power practice "virtuous government" can the people be inspired by "holy virtue" and follow their path, and the world will naturally return to peace.
