Why do officials say respect and honesty
2022-05-24
"Why do you keep an official? Say respect and honesty. Respect is not ignored, and honesty is strict." Shao Bao, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, wrote this in the "official proverbs", which means that an official should be dedicated and honest. Dedication is not careless, and integrity is dignified. A few words, but the words are very important, which shows the way of being an official. According to historical records, when Shaobao was an official in Jiangxi, he tracked down a grain chief who had serious acts of corruption and perverting the law. After learning that he had been investigated, the grain chief sent money to Shaobao through others and asked him to excuse his guilt. Shaobao scolded him. When the people learned that, they called him "Mr. Qian Jinbu". Being an official and dedicated is about working attitude. The ancients had many clear instructions about dedication. Xunzi said, "the success of all things must be respected; the failure must be slow.". Zhu Xi said: "the Lord's discomfort is respect". All these emphasize that we should concentrate on doing things and work, love, diligence and restraint, and strictly abide by professional ethics. The Chinese nation has a tradition of "a gentleman's heart, always in awe". "Respect" makes people do something and know what they should do; "Fear" makes people do something and warns them not to do anything. LV Kun of the Ming Dynasty said: "fear is not reckless, but virtue is successful, and fearlessness is from its desire to disaster." The main idea is that only when you have awe in your heart and dare not be presumptuous in your words and deeds can you develop good morality and integrity. When Fan Zhongyan was an official, he was deeply in awe of the people and public affairs. He was always worried that he failed to do his duty well and was sorry for the people for his salary. He developed the habit of introspection and inspection before going to bed. When you sleep at night, you must save the day. What is good is ripe sleep; If you are not good, you can't sleep all night. You must ask for change. Integrity is the foundation of being an official. The official proverb of the Qin Dynasty, "the way of being an official", begins with the following words: "all the ways of being an official must be refined and upright, cautious, sincere and solid, and no privacy when judging." Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty put forward three official proverbs of "abiding by the law, being honest and practicing education"; Nanyang prefect Yang of the Eastern Han Dynasty continued to "hang fish and refuse Bribes" to solve problems for the people; In the Ming Dynasty, Hai Rui severely punished corrupt officials, prohibited favoritism and bribery, and forced corrupt officials to return to the people, which was called "haiqingtian" by the people; When Tang bin was governor of Jiangning in the Qing Dynasty, he was content with poverty. He often ate tofu soup with three meals a day, known as "governor of three soup" Professionalism and integrity are unified and complement each other. If only dedication is not honest, it may not withstand the temptation of material desire and slide into the abyss of corruption; If you are only honest and not dedicated, you will fall into the laziness of "being an official but not doing anything", and you will not take responsibility, be irresponsible, pass the buck and delay things in your work. The Communist Party of China is a faithful inheritor and promoter of China's excellent traditional culture. Since its establishment, it has written on its banner to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Party members and cadres should bear in mind the requirements of "loyalty, cleanliness and responsibility", know awe, guard against fear, abide by the bottom line, work diligently and shoulder heavy responsibilities bravely. At the same time, we also need to treat the temptation test with awe like walking on thin ice, and strive to become a good cadre who can reassure the organization and the masses. (outlook new era)
