Opening Up New Prospects for High-Quality Development with New Achievements in Style of Work Building

The Party’s style of work is the Party’s image, it concerns the support or opposition of the people, and it determines the success or failure of the Party’s and the state’s undertakings

党的作风就是党的形象，关系人心向背，决定党和国家事业成败。习近平总书记在主持中央政治局会议时强调，要加强党对经济工作的全面领导，鼓励党员干部迎难而上、主动作为，树立和践行正确政绩观。认真开展深入贯彻中央八项规定精神学习教育，以作风建设新成效开创高质量发展新局面。这一重要论述进一步明确了作风建设的目标导向和强大动能。

When the political atmosphere is clean, morale is high; when morale is high, minds are united; when minds are united, undertakings succeed. Fine conduct not only showcases an image but can also be transformed into productive forces. Looking back over the Party’s struggle, good conduct can rally people’s hearts, inspire fighting spirit, boost morale, and unleash motivation, forming a powerful capacity for combat, cohesion, and creativity. When the Party’s conduct is upright, the people’s mood is smooth, and the Party and the people can share hardships and joys. Conversely, if conduct is lax and dispirited, it is difficult to accomplish any undertaking. During the period of the New Democratic Revolution, our Party formed the conduct of integrating theory with practice, the conduct of maintaining close ties with the masses, and the conduct of self-criticism. These fine styles of conduct gave rise to the “ten absences” in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region [1]1 The “ten absences” refers to a summary of the clean political atmosphere in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region during the Yan’an period: no corrupt officials, no profiteers, no gambling, no prostitutes, no concubines, no beggars, no idlers, no quarrels, no malarial mosquitoes, and no lax organization., enabling our Party to win popular support and ultimately “defeat the Xi’an style of conduct with the Yan’an style of conduct,” achieving victory in the New Democratic Revolution. After the founding of New China, the governing environment our Party faced underwent profound changes, but the attitude toward grasping conduct construction did not change; moreover, measures became stricter. During the period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, our Party proposed “earnestly improving our Party’s conduct” and closely integrated conduct construction with clean governance and the fight against corruption, managing them together and pushing forward the cause of the Party and the people. Entering the New Era, the Party Central Committee began by formulating and implementing the Central Eight-Point Regulations [2]2 The Eight-Point Regulations are a set of rules on improving Party and government conduct issued by the Party Central Committee in December 2012, targeting formalism, bureaucracy, extravagance, and other problems., emphasizing that grasping conduct construction has only a present tense, no past tense, and with the momentum of “leaving marks on stone and traces on iron when grasping,” it has driven conduct construction ever deeper, curbing some unhealthy tendencies that were once thought impossible to curb, and correcting some stubborn and deep-seated maladies that had persisted for years. It can be said that “once the Eight-Point Regulations were put in place, the whole chessboard of conduct construction came alive.” Today, with the continuous advancement of conduct construction, the Party’s prestige is constantly rising, and its governing position is constantly consolidated. All this shows that good conduct is a fighting capacity, and even more so, a productive force. Conduct construction is not only a necessary act for practicing the Party’s purpose and purifying Party conduct, but also a pragmatic effort to promote the high-quality development of undertakings. Therefore, in the process of promoting high-quality development, conduct construction must be placed in an important position, with the spirit of “hammering in nails” to persistently rectify and make long-term corrections.

风清则气正，气正则心齐，心齐则事成。优良的作风不仅能展示形象，还能转化为生产力。纵观党的奋斗历程，良好的作风能凝聚人心、焕发斗志，提振精神、激发动力，形成强大的战斗力、凝聚力和创造力。党的作风正，人民的心气顺，党和人民就能同甘共苦。反之，如果作风涣散、萎靡不振，就很难干成事业。在新民主主义革命时期，我们党形成了理论和实践相结合的作风，和人民群众紧密地联系在一起的作风以及自我批评的作风。这些优良作风造就了陕甘宁边区“十个没有”，使我们党赢得了民心，最终“用延安作风打败西安作风”，取得了新民主主义革命的胜利。新中国成立以后，我们党面临的执政环境发生了深刻变化，但是抓作风建设的态度没有发生变化，而且措施变得更加严格。在改革开放和社会主义现代化建设新时期，我们党提出“切实把我们的党风搞好”，并将作风建设与廉政建设、反腐败斗争紧密结合在一起齐抓共管，把党和人民事业推向前进。进入新时代，党中央从制定和落实中央八项规定开题破题，强调抓作风建设只有进行时，没有完成时，以踏石留印、抓铁有痕的劲头推动作风建设不断走向深入，刹住了一些过去被认为不可能刹住的歪风，纠治了一些多年未除的顽瘴痼疾。可以说，“八项规定一子落地，作风建设满盘皆活”。如今，随着作风建设的不断推进，党的威信不断提高，执政地位不断巩固。这些都说明，好作风是战斗力，更是生产力。作风建设不仅是践行党的宗旨、纯洁党风的必须之举，更是推动事业高质量发展的务实之功。因此，在推动高质量发展的过程中，必须把作风建设摆在重要位置，以钉钉子精神持续整改、长期整改。

The change in atmosphere lies in strictness; the change in governance lies in institutions. The virtuous cycle of conduct construction is the mutual reinforcement of institutions and people’s hearts. By now, the value and significance of conduct construction are no longer limited to basic categories such as tightening discipline and strengthening rule consciousness, but have become an important variable affecting the depth of reform and the quality of development. To further gather positive energy for promoting reform and development through new achievements in conduct construction, it is necessary to study targeted measures, carry out scientific and precise targeted rectification, and take real action to achieve practical results. From aspects such as cognitive innovation, institutional innovation, and method expansion, we should embed the construction of cadre conduct into solving development difficulties, continuously deepen the practical content and contemporary connotation of conduct construction, and promote Party members and cadres to focus their minds on planning reform, their energy on construction, and their efforts on promoting development. Making every effort to oppose formalism and bureaucracy should be an important task in strengthening conduct construction, vigorously promoting the conduct of genuine and solid work, advancing work with real and hard efforts, solving problems with swift action and thorough results, facing difficulties with the courage to grasp, manage, and take responsibility, showing performance in leading by example, taking action in observing rules and regulations, and achieving practical results in rectification and implementation, guiding conduct construction onto a track of healthy development. Changing conduct requires persistence, and success also depends on persistence; it must be grasped unremittingly with enduring tenacity and patience, making persistence the norm, and seeking long-term results from institutional construction. According to changes in the situation and tasks, we should block the loopholes that breed unhealthy tendencies from the institutional and mechanism level, consolidate the achievements of conduct construction through reform measures, focus on establishing rules and regulations, target shortcomings, identify cruxes, and purposefully improve the institutional provisions for conduct construction, while strengthening the implementation of institutions, ensuring that rules are followed and violations are investigated.

风气之变在于严，治理之变在于制。作风建设的良性循环，是制度和人心的互相巩固。时至今日作风建设的价值与意义早已不再局限于整饬纪律、强化规矩意识等基本范畴，而是成为影响改革深度、发展质量的重要变量。以作风建设新成效进一步汇聚起推动改革发展的正能量，要研究针对性举措，科学精准靶向整治，动真碰硬、务求实效。从认识革新、机制创新、方法拓展等方面寓干部作风建设于破解发展难题中，不断深化作风建设的实践内容和时代内涵，推动党员干部把心思花在谋改革上，把劲头放在搞建设上，把精力用在促发展上。把力戒形式主义、官僚主义作为加强作风建设的重要任务，大力弘扬真抓实干作风，推进工作要实打实、硬碰硬，解决问题要雷厉风行、见底见效，面对难题要敢抓敢管、敢于担责，在以身作则上见表现，在遵规守矩上见行动，在整改落实上见实效，把作风建设导入良性发展轨道。改作风贵在坚持，成也在坚持，必须以持之以恒的韧劲和耐心常抓不懈，在坚持中见常态，向制度建设要长效。根据形势任务变化，从体制机制上堵塞滋生不正之风的漏洞，以改革的办法固化作风建设成果，注重建章立制，瞄准短板、找准症结，有针对性地完善作风建设的制度规定，并强化制度执行，做到有章必循、违规必究。

With a fair wind, one can set sail; with upright morale, one can gather strength. Wherever the people need it, good deeds and practical matters can be done, and achievements can be made. Party members and cadres should carry forward the Party’s fine conduct, use fine conduct to drive social and popular customs upward and toward goodness, and open up a new situation of high-quality development through new achievements in conduct construction.

风正好扬帆，气正能聚力。哪里有人民需要，哪里就能做出好事实事，哪里就能创造业绩。党员干部要发扬党的优良作风，以优良作风带动社风民风向上向善，以作风建设新成效开创高质量发展新局面。
