——"Speech at the Central Political and Legal Work Conference" and other articles

■Interpretation

The public power is surnamed the public, and the use of power should be for the people. At the Central Political and Legal Work Conference, Comrade Xi Jinping emphasized that "the public is bright and honest and the people are mighty", which is not only the basic requirement for political and legal cadres, but also the earnest entrustment of the entire cadre team. The surname of public funds is public, and not a penny can be spent indiscriminately; Public power is for the people, and nothing can be used privately. Leading cadres must always be clear about this point, clearly distinguish between public and private interests, dedicate themselves to public duties, and exercise strict self-discipline. Only by serving the public wholeheartedly and doing everything out of the public heart can we be open-minded, prudent in the use of power, and upright and upright. This is where the fairness and uprightness of leading cadres come from, and their authority among the masses also comes from this. As far as leading cadres who hold public power are concerned, it is unfair and it is inevitable to abuse power for personal gain; If they are not honest, they will hide dirt and dirt, which will inevitably lead to the prevalence of black-box operations and the intensification of corruption, so where is the authority of the party and the government? Where is the credibility of the cadre team? In the face of the new situation and new tests under the new historical conditions, Comrade Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that "we must always use power impartially, not use power for personal gain, use power in accordance with the law, do not fake public interests for personal gain, use power honestly, do not engage in corruption, and always maintain the political nature of communists". This is the reverence that should be felt in the use of power in power, and it is also the "official motto" that leading cadres should keep in mind.

■Original text

The officials are not afraid of my strictness but of my integrity, and the people are not afraid of my ability but obey my father; If you are honest, the officials will not dare to be slow, and the public will not dare to bully; ——(Ming) Nian Fu's "Official Proverbs" carved stone

■Definition

According to research, the words of "Guanzhen" first came from the mouth of Cao Duan, a beginner in the Ming Dynasty, and later the governor of Shandong, Nianfu, changed his words slightly, adding "Gongsheng Ming, Lian Shengwei", and wrote it in Gongkai as his official motto.

Nian Fu (1395-1464), from the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, served in the local and central departments. No matter where he goes, he can be honest and upright, thus becoming a generation of famous ministers. In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi (1501), Gu Jingxiang, the governor of Tai'an, engraved the stele of "Guanzhen" in the government to set an example for officials. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Yan Xishen, the prefect of Tai'an, passed it on to future generations as a family motto. The three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Later Yan family adhered to the "Official Motto" and issued four superintendents in a row. Every time they take up a new post, they carry a monument to take up their posts, which is used to police and encourage themselves.

These 36 characters of "Official Proverbs" can be described as a warning policy and a medicine stone. It is interpreted as the foundation of the official, and the most important thing is two points: one is public, and the other is honest. It means: subordinates fear me, not because I am strict but because I am honest; The people believe in me, not because I am talented, but because I am just. If you are honest, your subordinates will not dare to be contemptuous, and if you are fair, the people will not dare to be deceived. Only by being fair can we distinguish between right and wrong, and only by being honest can we establish prestige.
