Unite Minds and Gather Strength with Fine Work Style, and Act with Real Effort

Fine work style is a vivid manifestation of our Party’s strong personality power, and it is an important foundation for our Party to unite the people’s strength and promote the development of the cause. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Unite minds and gather strength with fine work style, and act with real effort, continuously opening up new prospects for the development of the cause.” At the end of last year, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a democratic life meeting [1]1 "Naked officials" (裸官) refers to Chinese officials whose spouses and children have emigrated abroad or obtained foreign residency, while the official remains in China. and emphasized unswervingly implementing the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations, uniting minds and gathering strength with fine work style, and acting with real effort.

优良作风是我们党强大人格力量的鲜明体现，是我们党凝聚人民力量、推动事业发展的重要根基。习近平总书记强调：“以优良作风凝心聚力、真抓实干，不断开创事业发展新局面。”去年底，中共中央政治局召开民主生活会强调，锲而不舍落实中央八项规定精神，以优良作风凝心聚力真抓实干。

On January 12 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection [2]2 "Nepotistic corruption" (裙带腐败) refers to corruption involving the appointment of relatives or close associates to positions of power.: “After the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee started with the formulation and implementation of the Eight-Point Regulations to break the ice, established iron rules and imposed strong constraints, and promoted a completely new look in Party conduct and government conduct.”

今年1月12日，习近平总书记在二十届中央纪委五次全会上指出：“党的十八大后，党中央以制定实施中央八项规定开局破题，立铁规矩、强硬约束，推动党风政风焕然一新。”

2026 is the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan [3]3 "Yamen corruption" (衙内腐败) refers to corruption by the children or relatives of high-ranking officials, historically associated with the term for an official's residence (yamen).. The first year should have the momentum of a start, and the beginning especially requires a posture of striving. On the new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, we must deeply study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on fine work style, always adhere to and vigorously promote fine work style, unite the force of progress through style transformation, promote high-quality development with real effort, ensure a good start and a solid beginning for the 15th Five-Year Plan, and continue to write a new chapter of the Chinese miracle.

2026年是“十五五”开局之年。开局之年当有开局之势，起步之时尤需奋进之姿。在全面建设社会主义现代化国家新征程上，我们必须深入学习贯彻习近平总书记关于优良作风的重要论述，始终坚持、大力弘扬优良作风，以作风转变凝聚奋进合力，以真抓实干推动高质量发展，确保“十五五”开好局、起好步，续写中国奇迹新篇章。

General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on fine work style have distinct contemporary character, theoretical traits, and practical orientation

习近平总书记关于优良作风的重要论述具有鲜明的时代品格、理论特质和实践指向

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “An important reason why our Party has united and led the people to achieve great successes in revolution, construction, and reform is that our Party has cultivated and adhered to a whole set of glorious traditions and fine work styles in long-term practice.” From the “Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention” [4]4 The "Three Stricts and Three Honests" (三严三实) campaign: a Party education campaign requiring officials to be strict in self-cultivation, use of power, and self-discipline, and honest in planning, starting undertakings, and personal conduct. to the “Two Musts” [5]5 The "Two Studies, One Action" (两学一做) campaign: a Party education campaign to study the Party Constitution and regulations, study Xi Jinping's speeches, and become qualified Party members. and the “Six Regulations” [6]6 The "Four Forms of Decadence" (四风): formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance., from “earnestly improve our Party’s work style” to “must carry forward the Party’s fine work style”… Our Party has always regarded adhering to fine work style as a consistent political consciousness, using fine work style to invigorate spirit, stimulate fighting spirit, establish image, and win people’s hearts, providing a strong guarantee for revolution, construction, and reform to move from victory to victory.

习近平总书记强调：“我们党团结带领人民取得了革命、建设、改革的伟大成就，很重要的一条就是我们党在长期实践中培育并坚持了一整套光荣传统和优良作风。”从“三大纪律八项注意”到“两个务必”“六条规定”，从“切实把我们的党风搞好”到“必须发扬党的优良作风”……我们党始终把坚持优良作风作为一以贯之的政治自觉，以优良作风振奋精神、激发斗志、树立形象、赢得民心，为革命、建设和改革从胜利走向胜利提供了坚强保证。

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints, and new judgments on adhering to fine work style, profoundly answering the major questions of what fine work style is, why fine work style should be adhered to, and how to adhere to fine work style under the new circumstances, pointing out the direction and providing fundamental guidance for the vast number of Party members and cadres to adhere to fine work style in the New Era.

党的十八大以来，习近平总书记围绕坚持优良作风提出一系列新思想新观点新论断，深刻回答了新形势下什么是优良作风、为什么要坚持优良作风、怎样坚持优良作风的重大问题，为新时代广大党员干部坚持优良作风指明了前进方向、提供了根本遵循。

Profoundly elucidating the rich connotation of fine work style. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Fine work style is the style our Party has always adhered to, such as integrating theory with practice, maintaining close ties with the masses, criticism and self-criticism, as well as hard struggle and seeking truth from facts” [7]7 "Key minority" (关键少数) refers to leading cadres at or above a certain level, whose behavior is considered crucial for setting an example.; “We should extend from solving the problem of the ‘Four Forms of Decadence’ [8]8 The "Four Forms" (四种形态) of supervision and discipline enforcement: a graduated system of disciplinary measures ranging from criticism and education to serious punishment. to strive to improve ideological style, work style, leadership style, and cadres’ life style, and strive to improve the style of study, writing, and meetings”; “Our Party has a glorious tradition and fine work style, which is to do whatever the Party calls for and go wherever the Party sends you,” etc. These important expositions profoundly reveal the core essence and rich connotation of the Party’s fine work style in the New Era, further expanding and deepening the dimension and depth of understanding of adhering to the Party’s fine work style in the New Era.

深刻阐明优良作风的丰富内涵。习近平总书记指出：“优良作风就是我们党历来坚持的理论联系实际、密切联系群众、批评和自我批评以及艰苦奋斗、求真务实等作风”“要从解决‘四风’问题延伸开去，努力改进思想作风、工作作风、领导作风、干部生活作风，努力改进学风、文风、会风”“我们党有一个光荣传统和优良作风，就是党叫干啥就干啥、党让去哪就去哪”等。这些重要论述，深刻揭示了新时代党的优良作风的核心要义、丰富内涵，进一步拓展深化了新时代坚持党的优良作风的认识维度和深度。

Profoundly elucidating the great significance and value of fine work style. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “As a Marxist ruling party, our Party must not only have strong truth power but also have strong personality power. Truth power is centrally embodied in our Party’s correct theory, and personality power is centrally embodied in our Party’s fine work style”; “The Party’s work style is the Party’s image, related to the support or opposition of the people, and related to the survival or extinction of the Party”; “No matter in the past, present, or future, the Party’s glorious traditions and fine work styles are precious spiritual wealth that inspires us to fear no difficulties and forge ahead courageously”; “These glorious traditions and fine work styles are the concentrated embodiment of our Party’s nature and purpose, and are the significant symbols that distinguish our Party from other political parties,” etc. These important expositions profoundly elucidate the great significance and precious value of adhering to the Party’s fine work style in the New Era, and are a scientific answer to the major theoretical and practical question of why our Party should adhere to fine work style in the New Era.

深刻阐明优良作风的重大意义和价值。习近平总书记指出：“我们党作为马克思主义执政党，不但要有强大的真理力量，而且要有强大的人格力量。真理力量集中体现为我们党的正确理论，人格力量集中体现为我们党的优良作风”“党的作风就是党的形象，关系人心向背，关系党的生死存亡”“不论过去、现在还是将来，党的光荣传统和优良作风都是激励我们不畏艰难、勇往直前的宝贵精神财富”“这些光荣传统和优良作风是我们党性质和宗旨的集中体现，是我们党区别于其他政党的显著标志”等。这些重要论述，深刻阐明了新时代坚持党的优良作风的重大意义、宝贵价值，是对新时代我们党为什么要坚持优良作风这一重大理论和实践问题的科学回答。

Profoundly elucidating the key focal points for adhering to fine work style. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Formalism and bureaucracy are utterly incompatible with our

深刻阐明坚持优良作风的关键着力点。习近平总书记指出：“形式主义、官僚主义同我们党的性质宗旨和优良作风格格不入，是我们党的大敌、人民的大敌”“要用铁的纪律整治各种面上的顶风违纪行为，有多少就处理多少”“要通过清晰的制度导向，把干部干事创业的手脚从形式主义、官僚主义的桎梏、‘套路’中解脱出来，形成求真务实、清正廉洁的新风正气”等。这些重要论述，充分体现了抓主要矛盾和矛盾的主要方面的工作方法，明确了新时代加强党的作风建设、坚持优良作风的主要抓手和关键着力点。

It profoundly elucidates the practical path for adhering to a fine work style. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: "To improve the work style, we must return to simplicity and consolidate the foundation, focusing on strengthening ideals and convictions, practicing the fundamental purpose, and enhancing moral cultivation"; "We must carry forward the Party's fine work style, persistently implement the spirit of the Central Committee's Eight-Point Regulations, and make efforts in the aspects of constancy and longevity, strictness and substance, depth and detail"; "Members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee should take the lead in inheriting and promoting the Party's fine work style"; "We must strengthen research on the history of revolutionary base areas, summarize historical experience, and better carry forward the revolutionary spirit and fine work style," among other points. These important discourses deepen and expand the ideas and measures for adhering to a fine work style, providing directional guidance for continuously achieving new results in work style improvement.

深刻阐明坚持优良作风的实践路径。习近平总书记指出：“抓作风建设，就要返璞归真、固本培元，重点突出坚定理想信念、践行根本宗旨、加强道德修养”“必须发扬党的优良作风，持之以恒落实中央八项规定精神，在常和长、严和实、深和细上下功夫”“中央政治局的同志要带头把党的优良作风继承下来、发扬下去”“要加强对革命根据地历史的研究，总结历史经验，更好发扬革命精神和优良作风”等。这些重要论述，深化拓展了坚持优良作风的思路和举措，为不断取得作风建设新成效提供了方向指引。

It profoundly elucidates the important methods for adhering to a fine work style. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: "To improve the work style, we should draw inferences from one instance, see Party spirit through the work style, and on the basis of solving work style problems, properly solve Party spirit problems"; "Make the process of improving the work style a process of implementing the Party's theories, lines, principles, and policies, and a process of smoothly advancing reform and opening up and socialist modernization"; "We must be adept at integrating work style improvement into the Party's ideological building, organizational building, anti-corruption and integrity building, and institutional building, so that work style improvement deepens in tandem with the advancement of all aspects of Party building"; "In advancing economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization construction, we must implement the specific requirements of work style improvement, forming a virtuous cycle of grasping work style to promote work and grasping work to strengthen work style"; "Work style issues must be grasped over the long term, persistently held onto, and continuously worked at to achieve lasting results. We must further break new ground from the institutional and mechanism level to provide long-term guarantees for work style improvement," among other points. These important discourses enrich and deepen the ideological methods and working methods for advancing the Party's self-revolution and forever maintaining the Party's advanced nature and purity, achieving a systematic breakthrough in the methodology of adhering to the Party's fine work style in the New Era.

深刻阐明坚持优良作风的重要方法。习近平总书记指出：“改进作风要举一反三，透过作风看党性，在解决作风问题的基础上解决好党性问题”“使改进作风的过程成为贯彻执行党的理论和路线方针政策的过程，成为推动改革开放和社会主义现代化建设顺利进行的过程”“要善于把作风建设融入党的思想建设、组织建设、反腐倡廉建设、制度建设之中，使作风建设随着党的建设各项工作推进而同步深化”“推进经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设、生态文明建设，都要落实作风建设具体要求，形成抓作风促工作、抓工作强作风良性循环”“作风问题必须抓长、长抓，扭住不放，持之以恒，久久为功。要从体制机制层面进一步破题，为作风建设形成长效化保障”等。这些重要论述，丰富深化了推进党的自我革命、永葆党的先进性和纯洁性的思想方法和工作方法，实现了新时代坚持党的优良作风方法论上的系统突破。

General Secretary Xi Jinping's important discourses on fine work style possess distinct characteristics of the times. They are major judgments made based on the development and changes in the international, national, and Party conditions, and are scientific answers to coping with the "Four Tests,"[1]1 "Naked officials" (裸官) refers to Chinese officials whose spouses and children have emigrated abroad or obtained foreign residency, while the official remains in China. overcoming the "Four Dangers,"[2]2 "Nepotistic corruption" (裙带腐败) refers to corruption involving the appointment of relatives or close associates to positions of power. and adapting to the new historical orientation of China's development. They possess profound theoretical connotations, inheriting, enriching, and developing the Party's theory on work style building, shining with the ideological brilliance of dialectical materialism and historical materialism. They possess a scientific practical orientation, adhering to addressing both symptoms and root causes, and simultaneously establishing and abolishing, grasping both ideological guidance and behavioral norms; planning the overall situation while also proposing specific ideas, providing scientific thinking, innovative ideas, and important methods for adhering to the Party's fine work style in the New Era.

习近平总书记关于优良作风的重要论述，具有鲜明的时代品格，是基于世情国情党情发展变化作出的重大论断，是应对“四大考验”、克服“四种危险”，适应我国发展新的历史方位作出的科学回答；具有深刻的理论内涵，是对我们党作风建设理论的继承、丰富和发展，闪耀着辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义的思想光芒；具有科学的实践指向，坚持标本兼治、立破并举，既抓思想引导，又抓行为规范；既谋划全局，又提具体思路，为新时代坚持党的优良作风提供了科学思维、创新思路和重要方法。

The transformation of work style in the New Era, which eliminates the stale and fosters the new, has greatly boosted the energy and drive of Party cadres to start businesses and take concrete actions.

新时代激浊扬清的作风之变极大提振党员干部干事创业精气神

"The way to achieve good governance lies first in rectifying customs and practices." Since the beginning of the New Era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, from the strategic height concerning the Party's rise

“求治之道，莫先于正风俗。”新时代以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央从关乎党的兴衰存亡、巩固党的执政地位、实现党的执政使命的战略高度，以非凡的政治气魄和强烈的历史担当将作风建设摆在推进全面从严治党的突出位置，从制定和实施中央八项规定开局破题，紧盯群众深恶痛绝、反映强烈的突出问题，狠刹歪风邪气，纠治顽瘴痼疾，一扫作风积弊，决心之大、治理之严、时间之久前所未有，党风政风社风焕然一新，党心军心民心高度凝聚。

Adhere to simultaneously establishing and abolishing, and effectively curb unhealthy tendencies. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The improvement of work style is a process of simultaneously establishing and abolishing, supporting the upright and eliminating the evil." On December 4, 2012, less than a month after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Politburo meeting of the Central Committee reviewed and approved the "Eight-Point Regulations of the 18th Politburo on Improving Work Style and Maintaining Close Ties with the Masses." This was the first important intra-Party regulation formulated in the New Era, solving the problem of "a tiger wanting to eat the sky, not knowing where to bite" in governing the Party and running it strictly, initiating the "first action" of the New Era to reshape the Party's image and appearance, and becoming the "golden business card" of governing the Party and running it strictly in the New Era. "Extravagance in mooncakes," "corruption on the tip of the tongue," "waste at the dinner table," and other such issues have been effectively rectified; unhealthy practices such as showing off and competing in extravagance, as well as irrational and uncivilized consumption habits, have disappeared; problems such as exceeding standards in office space, using public funds for dining and entertainment, using public funds for tourism, "naked officials,"[1]1 "Naked officials" (裸官) refers to Chinese officials whose spouses and children have emigrated abroad or obtained foreign residency, while the official remains in China. and "off-the-books funds" have been curbed; privileged issues such as "nepotistic corruption"[2]2 "Nepotistic corruption" (裙带腐败) refers to corruption involving the appointment of relatives or close associates to positions of power. and "yamen corruption"[3]3 "Yamen corruption" (衙内腐败) refers to corruption by the children or relatives of high-ranking officials, historically associated with the term for an official's residence (yamen). have been seriously investigated and dealt with... Whether they are overt problems or disguised violations, whether they are material-level hedonism and extravagance or spiritual-level passivity and slackness, our Party corrects one problem at a time, holds firm at one critical juncture at a time, acts with a clear target, advances step by step, and yields no ground. The Party's mass line education and practice campaign, the "Three Stricts and Three Honests" special education,[4]4 The "Three Stricts and Three Honests" (三严三实) campaign: a Party education campaign requiring officials to be strict in self-cultivation, use of power, and self-discipline, and honest in planning, starting undertakings, and personal conduct. the "Two Studies, One Action" learning and education,[5]5 The "Two Studies, One Action" (两学一做) campaign: a Party education campaign to study the Party Constitution and regulations, study Xi Jinping's speeches, and become qualified Party members. the "Remain True to Our Original Aspiration and Keep Our Mission Firmly in Mind" thematic education, the Party history learning and education, the study and implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era thematic education, the Party discipline learning and education, and the in-depth study and implementation of the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations learning and education—looking at all the intra-Party centralized learning and education campaigns since the New Era, an important requirement running through them is to improve work style, educating and guiding Party cadres to promote responsibility and action with a good work style. By strengthening work style building, some unhealthy practices that had long gone unchecked have been stopped, some stubborn and chronic diseases that had persisted for years have been corrected, the once-existing state of lax discipline and drifting work style has significantly changed, and erroneous understandings that once existed among some Party cadres, such as the "theory of minor matters and small details," the "theory of affecting development," and the "theory of industry particularity," have also been corrected. The transformation of work style has gradually shifted from external constraints to the internalization of Party cadres' ideological consciousness and value identification.

坚持立破并举，不正之风得到有效遏制。习近平总书记指出：“作风建设是立破并举、扶正祛邪的过程”。2012年12月4日，党的十八大闭幕不到一个月，中央政治局会议审议通过《十八届中央政治局关于改进工作作风、密切联系群众的八项规定》，这是新时代制定的第一部重要党内法规，解决管党治党“老虎吃天不知从哪儿下口”的问题，开启新时代重塑党的形象和面貌的“第一行动”，成为新时代管党治党的“金色名片”。“月饼里的奢靡”“舌尖上的腐败”“餐桌上的浪费”等得到有效整治，讲排场、比阔气等不良风气和不理性、不文明的消费习气销声匿迹；超标办公用房、公款吃喝、公款旅游、“裸官”、“小金库”有所收敛；“裙带腐败”“衙内腐败”等特权问题被严肃查处……无论显性问题还是违规变异，无论物质层面享乐奢靡还是精神层面消极懈怠，我们党一个毛病一个毛病纠治、一个节点一个节点坚守，有的放矢、步步深入、寸步不让。党的群众路线教育实践活动、“三严三实”专题教育、“两学一做”学习教育、“不忘初心、牢记使命”主题教育、党史学习教育、学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想主题教育、党纪学习教育、深入贯彻中央八项规定精神学习教育，纵观新时代以来的历次党内集中学习教育，贯穿其中的一项重要要求就是改进作风，教育引导党员干部以良好作风促进担当作为。通过加强作风建设，一些长期没有刹住的歪风刹住了，一些多年未除的顽瘴痼疾得到纠治，一度存在的纪律松弛、作风漂浮状况显著改变，一些党员干部中曾存在的“小事小节论”“影响发展论”“行业特殊论”等错误认识也得到纠正，作风转变逐渐从外在约束内化为党员干部的思想自觉和价值认同。

Adhere to putting the people first, and further strengthen the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the masses. The people's standpoint is the fundamental political standpoint of a Marxist political party. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Popular support is the greatest politics" and "The core of the work style issue is the Party's relationship with the masses." Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, we have focused on the masses' urgent, difficult, and anxious problems, taken a zero-tolerance stance against the "Four Forms of Decadence,"[6]6 The "Four Forms of Decadence" (四风): formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance. deeply governed corruption in people's livelihood areas such as education, medical care, social security, and ecological environmental protection, resolutely corrected prominent problems such as buck-passing and perfunctory inaction in the implementation of pro-people policies, slow action that discounts and distorts policies, and arbitrary action that abuses power and deviates from reality, and concentratedly rectified unhealthy tendencies and corruption issues that occur around the masses and harm their immediate interests. From further protecting the rights and interests of new employment groups, to promoting age-friendly renovations, to directly distributing "real gold and silver" to child-rearing families... No matter what work is promoted, our Party always does practical things and good deeds with a fine work style of serving the people, being pragmatic, and being clean, solving the masses' worries about "fuel, rice, oil, and salt," their needs for "clothing, food, housing, and transportation," and their demands for "sweetness, bitterness, and all flavors," continuously enhancing the masses' sense of gain, happiness, and security. The new achievements in work style building have enabled our Party to continuously win the trust and support of the people, making the ties between the Party and the masses and between cadres and the masses closer, and further consolidating the Party's ruling foundation.

坚持人民至上，党同人民群众的血肉联系进一步加强。人民立场是马克思主义政党的根本政治立场。习近平总书记指出：“民心是最大的政治”“作风问题核心是党同人民群众的关系问题”。党的十八大以来，我们聚焦群众急难愁盼问题，以零容忍态度向“四风”问题亮剑，深入治理教育、医疗、社保、生态环保等民生领域的腐败问题，坚决纠治惠民政策落实中推诿扯皮、敷衍塞责的不作为，打折扣、搞变通的慢作为，滥用职权、脱离实际的乱作为等突出问题，集中整治发生在群众身边、损害群众切身利益的不正之风和腐败问题。从进一步保障新就业群体权益，到推进适老化改造，再到面向育儿家庭直接发放“真金白银”……无论推进什么工作，我们党都始终以为民、务实、清廉的优良作风做实事、干好事，解决好群众“柴米油盐”的烦恼、“衣食住行”的需要、“酸甜苦辣”的诉求，不断增强群众的获得感、幸福感、安全感。作风建设的新成效，使我们党不断赢得人民群众信任拥护，党群干群联系更加紧密，党的执政根基更加巩固。

Adhere to addressing both symptoms and root causes, and let new healthy trends fill the entire Party and society. Our Party deeply grasps the laws of work style building, focuses on eradicating the soil that breeds unhealthy tendencies, promotes the normalization and long-term effectiveness of work style building, and strives to solve the governance dilemma of work style where "it improves when grasped, but rebounds when relaxed." We have formulated and revised intra-Party regulations such as the norms of political life under the new situation, the code of integrity and self-discipline, the disciplinary action regulations, and the accountability regulations; we have introduced corresponding supporting systems and regulations around regulating the business activities of leading cadres' spouses, children, and their spouses' children, and standardizing official receptions and office space, tightening the cage of institutions and continuously compressing the space for work style alienation and power abuse. We continuously strengthen supervision and discipline enforcement with a zero-tolerance attitude, closely monitor key nodes and the "key minority,"[7]7 "Key minority" (关键少数) refers to leading cadres at or above a certain level, whose behavior is considered crucial for setting an example. and investigate, deal with, and report each case as it is discovered, ensuring that the institutions "grow teeth." We adhere to the simultaneous investigation and governance of work style and corruption. We both catch problems early and small, preventing them from growing, making good use of the "Four Forms"[8]8 The "Four Forms" (四种形态) of supervision and discipline enforcement: a graduated system of disciplinary measures ranging from criticism and education to serious punishment. of supervision and discipline enforcement to cut off the evolutionary chain from work style to corruption; and we deeply investigate unhealthy tendencies behind corruption problems, alerting Party cadres to build a line of defense in work style, severely punishing intertwined work style and corruption issues through simultaneous investigation, and eradicating the common roots of work style and corruption through simultaneous governance. The transformation of work style has purged the once-prevalent vulgar and decadent political culture such as "hidden rules,"[9]9 "Hidden rules" (潜规则) refers to unspoken, often corrupt, practices that operate outside formal regulations. clearing the intra-Party political culture, driving social customs and public sentiment upward and towards goodness, achieving remarkable results in changing customs and habits, and continuously filling the atmosphere with new healthy trends.

坚持标本兼治，新风正气充盈全党全社会。我们党深入把握作风建设规律，着眼于铲除不正之风滋生土壤，推动作风建设常态化长效化，着力破解“抓一抓就好转、松一松就反弹”的作风治理难题。制定修订新形势下党内政治生活准则、廉洁自律准则、纪律处分条例、问责条例等党内法规；围绕规范领导干部配偶、子女及其配偶经商办企业，规范公务接待、办公用房等方面出台相应配套制度规定，把制度的笼子越扎越紧，不断压缩作风异化和权力滥用的空间。以零容忍态度不断强化监督执纪，紧盯关键节点、“关键少数”，发现一起、查处一起、通报一起，确保制度“长出牙齿”。坚持风腐同查同治。既抓早抓小、防微杜渐，运用好监督执纪“四种形态”，切断由风及腐的演进链条；又深挖腐败问题背后的不正之风，警醒党员干部筑牢作风防线，以同查严惩风腐交织问题，以同治铲除风腐共性根源。作风之变涤荡了曾经一度盛行的“潜规则”等庸俗腐朽的政治文化，党内政治文化为之一清，带动社风民风向上向善，移风易俗、化风成俗成效显著，新风正气不断充盈。

Adhere to serving the overall situation, and gather the mighty force to advance Chinese-path modernization. A fine Party style is an important source of the Party's creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness. To achieve the grand goal of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation ultimately depends on Party organizations at all levels and Party cadres uniting and leading the masses, turning the Party's scientific strategic plans into reality and concrete scenes with a solid work style. Adhering to a fine work style requires proceeding from reality, focusing on enhancing practical results, promoting Party cadres to optimize their thinking methods, innovate working methods, and improve their mental state, gathering people's hearts with strong creativity, combat effectiveness, and leadership, and injecting surging power into high-quality economic and social development. For example, our Party integrated work style building throughout the entire process of the fight against poverty, united as one from top to bottom, dispatched the best forces, and the vast majority of Party cadres carried forward the Party's fine work style, worked hard and with real effort, conquered the hardest of the hard, solved the most difficult of the difficult, won the largest-scale battle against poverty in human history, and realized a moderately prosperous society, the millennia-old dream of the Chinese nation. Another example: during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, with a fine work style of advocating real work and firmly implementing, we adhered to the principle that "not innovating means falling behind, and innovating slowly also means falling behind," through "open competition for projects,"[10]10 "Open competition for projects" (揭榜挂帅): a mechanism where project tasks are publicly announced and teams compete to take them on, often used to tackle key technological challenges. forming Party member commando teams, targeting key core technologies, and tackling "bottleneck" problems. China's scientific and technological innovation has continuously achieved new breakthroughs, and the capacity for innovation-driven development has continuously improved. Practice has fully proven that strengthening work style building and creating a political ecology that encourages entrepreneurship and is clean and upright can fully mobilize the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of the broad masses of cadres and the people, continuously opening up new prospects for the great cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation.

坚持服务大局，凝聚起推进中国式现代化的磅礴力量。优良党风是党的创造力、凝聚力、战斗力的重要源泉。实现强国建设、民族复兴的宏伟目标，归根结底要靠各级党组织和党员干部团结带领人民群众，以扎实作风把党的科学战略部署落到实处、化为实景。坚持优良作风，就要坚持从实际出发、着眼于增进实效，推动党员干部优化思维方式、创新工作方法、提升精神状态，以强大的创造力、战斗力、领导力凝聚人心，为经济社会高质量发展注入澎湃力量。比如，我们党把作风建设贯穿脱贫攻坚全过程，上下同心、尽锐出战，广大党员干部发扬党的优良作风，埋头苦干、真抓实干，攻克坚中之坚、解决难中之难，打赢了人类历史上规模最大的脱贫攻坚战，实现了小康这个中华民族的千年梦想。又如，“十四五”时期，我们以崇尚实干、狠抓落实的优良作风，坚持“不创新就要落后，创新慢了也要落后”，通过“揭榜挂帅”，组建党员突击队，瞄准关键核心技术，攻坚“卡脖子”难题，我国科技创新不断实现新的突破，创新驱动发展能力持续提升。实践充分证明，加强作风建设，营造干事创业、风清气正的政治生态，能够充分调动广大干部群众的积极性、主动性、创造性，不断开创强国建设、民族复兴伟业新局面。

Unite the force of progress and promote real work and responsibility with a fine work style, ensuring a good start and a solid first step for the 15th Five-Year Plan

以优良作风凝聚奋进力量、促进实干担当，确保“十五五”开好局、起好步

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "Realizing basic modernization depends on real work; realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation depends on real work." Real work and concrete action are the success code for our Party to traverse more than a hundred years of wind and rain and create brilliant achievements, and also the only way to start the new journey of the 15th Five-Year Plan and realize the dream of national rejuvenation. We must, with the tenacity and persistence of "always being on the road," persistently promote work style building, promote the vast majority of Party cadres to bravely shoulder the responsibility of reform and skillfully plan innovative measures under the premise of strictly observing discipline and rules, promote real work and responsibility through work style transformation, and promote the beautiful blueprint of building a great modern socialist country in all respects to gradually become a reality with solid and effective work.

习近平总书记强调：“基本实现现代化要靠实干，实现中华民族伟大复兴要靠实干。”真抓实干，是我们党穿越百余年风雨、创造辉煌成就的成功密码，也是开启“十五五”新征程、实现民族复兴梦想的必由之路。我们要以“永远在路上”的坚韧与执着，久久为功推进作风建设，推动广大党员干部在严守纪律规矩的前提下，勇担改革之责、善谋创新之举，以作风转变促进实干担当，以扎实有效的工作推动全面建成社会主义现代化强国的美好蓝图一步步变为现实。

Strengthen theoretical armament, and lay a solid ideological foundation for acting in a down-to-earth manner. “We relied on down-to-earth action to create a glorious past, and we must also rely on down-to-earth action to create an even better future.” “Communists are materialists; pragmatism is an essential character; we must seek truth from facts, be realistic and pragmatic, and act in a down-to-earth manner.” … Since the New Era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized the fine work style of acting in a down-to-earth manner and being pragmatic and steadfast, and has made a series of important expositions, which have become an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. “Down-to-earth action” has become one of the most distinctive identifiers of the governance of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core. To promote down-to-earth action with a fine work style, the primary task is to thoroughly study and deeply understand Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, adhere to and apply the positions, viewpoints, and methods running through it, deeply comprehend the principles, theories, and philosophies of down-to-earth action, grasp the Marxist view of practice of “changing the world” and “transforming the pear,” and enhance the ideological consciousness of down-to-earth action; deeply comprehend the historical mission and responsibility of down-to-earth action, and in a comprehensive grasp of both domestic and international overall situations, enhance a high sense of responsibility and initiative for down-to-earth action; deeply comprehend the scientific methods of down-to-earth action, adhere to strategic thinking, historical thinking, dialectical thinking, systematic thinking, innovative thinking, law-based thinking, and bottom-line thinking, continuously enhance the ability and capability for down-to-earth action, and further transform the Party’s innovative theories into a powerful ideological weapon for transforming the subjective and objective worlds.

加强理论武装，筑牢真抓实干的思想根基。“我们靠实干创造了辉煌的过去，还要靠实干开创更加美好的未来”“共产党人是唯物主义者，务实是必备品格，必须实事求是、求真务实、真抓实干”……新时代以来，习近平总书记反复强调真抓实干、务实笃行的优良作风，作出一系列重要论述，成为习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的重要组成部分。“实干”成为以习近平同志为核心的党中央治国理政最鲜明的标识之一。以优良作风促进真抓实干，首要的是学深悟透习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想，坚持好、运用好贯穿其中的立场观点方法，深刻领会真抓实干的道理学理哲理，把握“改变世界”“变革梨子”的马克思主义实践观，增强真抓实干的思想自觉；深刻领会真抓实干的历史使命和责任担当，在对国内国际两个大局的全面把握中，增强真抓实干的高度责任感和主动精神；深刻领会真抓实干的科学方法，坚持战略思维、历史思维、辩证思维、系统思维、创新思维、法治思维、底线思维，不断增强真抓实干的能力本领，进一步把党的创新理论变成改造主观世界和客观世界的强大思想武器。

Highlight the problem orientation, and temper a solid work style of seeking truth and being pragmatic. Marx pointed out: “Problems are the slogans of the times, the most practical call expressing their spiritual state.” Whether problems can be solved and what problems are solved are important yardsticks for testing the quality of work style construction. Down-to-earth action is by no means blind recklessness or arbitrary behavior, but rather takes problems as the target and effectiveness as the orientation, tempering a solid work style of seeking truth and being pragmatic in the process of facing and solving problems. We must adhere to adapting measures to local conditions and seeking truth from facts, keep our feet on the ground, practice the basic skills of investigation and research, go deep into the grassroots and the masses, get a clear picture of the actual situation, propose accurate countermeasures, find the right methods, and with the spirit of driving a nail, handle one thing after another and work year after year, achieving results in solving deep-seated contradictions and problems. Adhere to the original aspiration of serving the people, always regard the “key minor matters” of the masses as “top priorities,” not only introduce more livelihood measures that are tangible and accessible to the common people, responding to the urgent concerns and difficulties of the masses in employment, education, social security, housing, medical care, elderly care, childcare, etc., but also take a long-term perspective, do more good and practical things that lay a foundation, increase momentum, and benefit the long term, making “small families” bustling with activity and the “big family” thriving day by day.

突出问题导向，锤炼求真务实的过硬作风。马克思指出：“问题就是时代的口号，是它表现自己精神状态的最实际的呼声。”能不能解决问题，解决了什么问题，是检验作风建设成色的重要标尺。真抓实干绝非盲目蛮干、任性而为，而是要以问题为靶心、以实效为导向，在直面问题、解决问题中锤炼求真务实的过硬作风。要坚持因地制宜、实事求是，把脚踩在大地上，练好调查研究基本功，深入基层、深入群众，把实情摸清、把对策提准、把方法找对，以钉钉子精神一件接着一件办、一年接着一年干，在破解深层次矛盾问题上见成效。坚守为民初心，始终把群众的“关键小事”当作“头等大事”，既推出更多老百姓可感可及的民生举措，回应好就业、教育、社保、住房、医疗、养老、托幼等群众急难愁盼，更立足长远、多做打基础、增后劲、利长远的好事实事，让“小家”热气腾腾、“大家”蒸蒸日上。

Adhere to the principle of those above setting an example for those below, and form a “leading goose effect” where one level leads the next in work. “If people do not have a model, they will not follow; if the leader does not take the lead, they will not be trusted.” [11]11 This is a classical Chinese allusion from the *History of the Song Dynasty* (《宋史》), meaning that if a leader does not set a personal example, others will not follow or trust them. An important experience of our Party in promoting work style construction since the New Era is to adhere to a top-down approach where those above set an example for those below. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Demanding from above or pushing from behind is not as effective as leading from the front.” To promote down-to-earth action with a fine work style, it is necessary to highlight leading cadres as the “key minority,” use the “leading goose effect” to drive the “flock of geese to fly in unison,” and form a vivid situation where one level sets an example for the next to see, and one level leads the next in work. Leading cadres must not only be good “commanders” but also good “fighters.” Consciously shoulder the responsibility of setting an example and providing guidance, take the lead in doing, acting, and grasping, lead everyone together to set the plates straight, clarify the paths, and prescribe the right prescriptions, accurately plan the development direction, and implement work measures solidly. Adhere to personally deploying important tasks, personally checking key links, and personally supervising the implementation of the situation, resolutely abandon the floating work style of being aloof and detached. Especially when risks, challenges, or unexpected situations arise, resolutely stand up and step forward, with the solid force of genuine action, the fierce force of daring to act, the skillful force of good action, and the persistent force of constant action, lead the broad masses of cadres and people to overcome difficulties and act in a down-to-earth manner, ensuring that all work takes root, blossoms, and bears fruit.

坚持以上率下，形成一级带着一级干的“头雁效应”。“人不率则不从，身不先则不信。”新时代以来我们党推进作风建设的一条重要经验，就是坚持自上而下、以上率下。习近平总书记指出：“在上面要求人、在后面推动人，都不如在前面带动人管用。”以优良作风推动真抓实干，必须突出领导干部这个“关键少数”，以“头雁效应”带动“群雁齐飞”，形成一级做给一级看、一级带着一级干的生动局面。领导干部既要当好“指挥员”，更要当好“战斗员”。自觉扛起示范引领之责，带头做、带头干、带头抓，带领大家一起定好盘子、理清路子、开对方子，把发展方向谋准、把工作举措抓实。坚持重要任务亲自部署、关键环节亲自把关、落实情况亲自督查，坚决摒弃高高在上、凌空蹈虚的漂浮作风。特别是在风险挑战、突发情况来临时，坚决站得出来、顶得上去，以真抓的实劲、敢抓的狠劲、善抓的巧劲、常抓的韧劲，带领广大干部群众攻坚克难、真抓实干，让各项工作落地生根、开花结果。

Strengthen institutional guarantees, and use normalized mechanisms to prevent mutations and break stubborn diseases. Work style construction has only a present tense, no past tense; it is both a tough battle and a protracted war. Only by putting effort into the two characters of “constant” and “long-term,” and building normalized and long-term mechanisms, can we prevent work style problems from rebounding and ensure that the fine work style maintains its vitality forever. We must always adhere to the Central Committee’s Eight-Point Regulations as an iron rule and a hard constraint, systematically and deeply summarize and apply the successful experience of work style construction since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, transform practical results into effective institutional mechanisms, and make work style construction have rules to follow and regulations to rely on. Promote the deep integration of work style construction with economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization construction in all fields and aspects, forming a virtuous cycle where grasping work style promotes work, and grasping work strengthens work style. Weave a dense institutional protection net, accurately assess the new trends and new manifestations of the invisible mutation of work style problems, excavate universal laws from individual problems, draw innovative experience from grassroots practice, and continuously improve the institutional system. Persist in maintaining the strict tone, strict measures, and strict atmosphere for a long time, strengthen the intensity of institutional implementation, make “genuine action and fake action are different, more work and less work are different, good work and bad work are different” a clear orientation, support and encourage cadres who dare to take responsibility and act well, and seriously hold accountable cadres who do not act or act arbitrarily, truly establish the orientation of seeking truth and being pragmatic, and strictly enforce the rules of down-to-earth action.

强化制度保障，以常态化机制防变异破顽疾。作风建设只有进行时，没有完成时；既是攻坚战，更是持久战。唯有在常、长二字上下功夫，构建常态化、长效化机制，方能防止作风问题反弹回潮，确保优良作风永葆生机活力。要始终坚持把中央八项规定作为铁规矩、硬杠杠，系统深入总结运用党的十八大以来作风建设的成功经验，将实践成果转化为切实有效的制度机制，让作风建设有章可循、有规可依。推动作风建设与经济建设、政治建设、文化建设、社会建设、生态文明建设各领域各方面深度融合，形成抓作风促工作、抓工作强作风的良性循环。织密制度防护网，精准研判作风问题隐形变异的新动向、新表现，从个别问题中挖掘普遍性规律，从基层实践中汲取创新经验，不断完善制度体系。把严的基调、严的措施、严的氛围长期坚持下去，强化制度执行力度，让“真干假干不一样、干多干少不一样、干好干坏不一样”成为鲜明导向，为敢担当、善作为的干部撑腰鼓劲，对不作为、乱作为的干部严肃问责，真正把求真务实的导向立起来、把真抓实干的规矩严起来。

The glory of history originates from down-to-earth action, and the brilliance of the future relies on steadfast practice. During the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, [12]12 The “15th Five-Year Plan” refers to China’s national economic and social development plan for the period 2026–2030, following the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025). the road beneath our feet will surely be a road full of hope and vitality, but also a journey of climbing over slopes and crossing hurdles, and overcoming difficulties. We must deeply study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on fine work style, with the tenacity of “biting the green mountain and not letting go” [13]13 This is a line from a poem by the Qing Dynasty poet Zheng Xie (郑燮), symbolizing unwavering perseverance and determination. to continuously promote the Party’s work style construction, urge the broad masses of Party members and cadres to take the spirit of “daring to break through,” the drive of “creating,” and the work style of “doing,” be firm actionists and doers, unite the surging spiritual strength and practical mighty force hidden in the people with a fine work style, anchor the goal of struggle, forge ahead with determination, and write a more splendid chapter of Chinese-path modernization.

历史的荣光源于实干，未来的辉煌依靠笃行。“十五五”时期，我们的脚下必是充满希望、朝气蓬勃的大道，也是爬坡过坎、攻坚克难的征途。我们要深入学习贯彻习近平总书记关于优良作风的重要论述，以“咬定青山不放松”的韧劲持续推动党的作风建设，促使广大党员干部以“闯”的精神、“创”的劲头、“干”的作风，当好坚定行动派、实干家，以优良作风凝聚起蕴藏在人民群众中的澎湃精神力量和实践伟力，锚定奋斗目标锐意开拓、砥砺前行，书写中国式现代化更加绚丽的华章。
