Cultivating a Correct Outlook on Political Performance in the New Era with the Wisdom of the “Six Dialogues of Party History”

From the “Heshu Dialogue” [1]1 "Taking the examination" (赶考) refers to Mao Zedong's metaphor in 1949 comparing the CPC's assumption of national power to a rigorous imperial examination, implying that the Party must constantly prove its competence and integrity. during the Jinggangshan period to the “Examination Dialogue” [2]2 Xibaipo was a village in Hebei Province that served as the CPC's last rural headquarters before entering Beijing in 1949. during the Xibaipo period, the “Six Dialogues of Party History” profoundly demonstrate the Party’s continuous exploration of “for whom to govern, by whom to govern, and how to govern,” providing historical reference for Party members and cadres in the New Era to establish a correct outlook on political performance, and systematically answering the questions of “for whom to create political performance, what kind of political performance to create, and by what means to create political performance.” The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC explicitly called for “guiding cadres to establish and practice a correct outlook on political performance.” Party members and cadres must not only be adept at gathering immense strength in the great practice of the New Era and the new journey but also draw wisdom from the Party’s century-long history of struggle. Deeply excavating the spiritual core of the “Six Dialogues of Party History” and integrating it into the cultivation of the outlook on political performance of Party members and cadres in the New Era is both an inherent requirement for inheriting the Party’s red genes and continuing its fine traditions, and a practical necessity for forging a cadre contingent capable of shouldering the heavy task of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

从井冈山时期的“荷树对”到西柏坡时期的“赶考对”，“党史六对”深刻展现了党对“为谁执政、靠谁执政、如何执政”的持续探索，为新时代党员干部树立正确政绩观提供历史借鉴，系统回答了“政绩为谁而树、树什么样的政绩、靠什么树政绩”的问题。党的二十大报告明确提出要“引导干部树立和践行正确政绩观”，党员干部既要善于在新时代新征程的伟大实践中凝聚磅礴力量，又需从党的百年奋斗史中汲取智慧。深挖“党史六对”的精神内核并融入新时代党员干部政绩观的培育中，既是传承党的红色基因、赓续优良传统的内在要求，也是锻造堪当民族复兴重任干部队伍的现实需要。

I. Answering “For Whom to Create Political Performance” with the People’s Standpoint

一、以人民立场解答“政绩为谁而树”

The people’s standpoint is the fundamental political standpoint of the Communist Party of China and the value source of a correct outlook on political performance. The “Cave-Front Dialogue” [3]3 Li Zicheng led a peasant rebellion that overthrew the Ming Dynasty in 1644 but quickly lost power due to corruption and indiscipline. Mao used this historical example to warn against complacency. and the “Cave Dialogue” [4]4 The "Two Musts" (两个务必) were Mao's 1949 injunction that the Party must remain modest, prudent, and free from arrogance and rashness, and must preserve the style of arduous struggle. reveal the core principles that power comes from the people, political performance is for the people, and evaluation is returned to the people. They are the best answer to “for whom to create political performance” and provide the fundamental guidance for Party members and cadres in the New Era to establish a correct outlook on political performance.

人民立场是中国共产党的根本政治立场，是正确政绩观的价值本源。“洞前对”与“窑洞对”揭示了权力来自人民、政绩为了人民、评判归于人民的核心原则，是对“政绩为谁而树”的最好回答，为新时代党员干部树立正确政绩观提供根本遵循。

The 1929 “Cave-Front Dialogue,” addressing “what exactly the task of leaders is,” clearly stated that leaders should have no special privileges, and that the task of leaders is to act as the “transmitters” of the masses, elucidating the fundamental working method of coming from the masses and going to the masses. This assertion profoundly answered the question of for whom power is used: the power of the Communist Party is endowed by the people and can only be used to seek well-being for the people, thus defining the essential nature of political performance at its root. Mao Zedong put forward requirements for serving the people wholeheartedly from two aspects: a sincere attitude and an all-out effort; Chen Yun always insisted on focusing on the interests of the vast majority of the people, taking “personal fame and gain as light as water, and the Party’s cause as heavy as a mountain” as his code of conduct; the “Land Law of the Chinese Soviet Republic,” formulated by the Party based on the fundamental interests of the vast peasant masses and the long-term prospects of the revolutionary development, enabled peasants to obtain land, fundamentally solving the problem of peasant survival. In the New Era, “benefiting the people is the greatest political performance” and “taking how many good and practical things have been done for the people as an important criterion for testing political performance” are precisely the continuation and elevation of this spirit. Party members and cadres must always adhere to the people’s standpoint of the “Cave-Front Dialogue,” keep the concerns of the masses in mind, take the urgent, difficult, and anxious problems of the masses as the starting point for fulfilling their duties, and take doing practical things for the masses as the basic criterion for measuring political performance, resolutely overcoming the unhealthy tendency of working for personal political performance and interests, and truly achieving governance for the people, caring for the people, and benefiting the people.

1929年的“洞前对”，针对“领导者的任务究竟是什么”，明确提出领导者不应有什么特殊性，领导者的任务就是当群众的“传达员”，阐明了从群众中来、到群众中去的根本工作方法。这一论断深刻回答了权力为谁所用的问题，共产党的权力由人民赋予，只能用来为人民谋福祉，从根源上界定政绩的本质属性。毛泽东从真心真意的态度和竭尽全力的效果两方面对全心全意为人民服务提出要求；陈云始终坚持关注最大多数人的利益，把“个人名利淡如水，党的事业重如山”作为行动准则；党基于广大农民群众的根本利益和革命发展的长远前途制定的《中华苏维埃共和国土地法》，让农民分得土地，从根本上解决农民生存问题。新时代“为民造福是最大政绩”“把为老百姓办了多少好事实事作为检验政绩的重要标准”正是这一精神的赓续与升华。党员干部必须始终坚守“洞前对”的人民立场，把群众关切的事放在心上，将群众的急难愁盼问题作为履职尽责的出发点，把为群众办实事作为衡量政绩的基本准则，坚决克服为个人政绩利益而工作的不良倾向，真正做到执政为民、心系百姓、造福于民。

The 1945 “Cave Dialogue” between Mao Zedong and Huang Yanpei [5]5 The "Jiashen Dialogue" (甲申对) refers to Mao's 1944 discussion with Guo Moruo about Guo's essay commemorating the 300th anniversary of Li Zicheng's fall, which Mao distributed as a warning text., addressing the issue of the historical cycle [6]6 This is a quotation from Xi Jinping's speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the CPC on July 1, 2016., proposed a new path of “letting the people supervise the government,” answering the key question of “who judges political performance” and establishing the people’s subject status as the evaluators of political performance. After his trip to Yan’an, Huang Yanpei published “Return from Yan’an” in Chongqing, spreading the Communist Party of China’s democratic concept of “people supervising the government” to the Kuomintang-controlled areas, laying the ideological and public opinion foundation for the new path of democracy. When the North China People’s Government was established, the North China People’s Procuratorate was simultaneously created as a specialized administrative supervisory organ to supervise illegal and derelict acts of public officials and accept accusations and reports from the masses, becoming the prototype of the administrative supervision system of New China. The “Common Program” [7]7 The "Zaoyuan Dialogue" (枣园对) refers to a series of discussions between Mao Zedong and Chen Yun in 1943 at Zaoyuan, a residential compound in Yan'an, on the method of seeking truth from facts. adopted in 1949 established that “the organs through which the people exercise state power are the people’s congresses and governments at all levels,” constructing a constitutional foundation for “people supervising the government,” and the “new path of democracy” entered the stage of national institutional implementation. From the people supervising the government in the “Cave Dialogue” to whole-process people’s democracy in the New Era, the Communist Party of China has always adhered to the principle that “the people are the highest decision-makers and final evaluators of our Party’s work.” To practice a correct outlook on political performance in the New Era, it is necessary to take mass satisfaction as the core assessment standard, humbly accept the supervision and suggestions of the people, and improve a comprehensive evaluation system that balances explicit and implicit political performance, development achievements and infrastructure construction, and short-term results and long-term benefits, making the public’s reputation a hard yardstick for measuring work effectiveness, and ensuring that political performance withstands the test of the people.

1945年毛泽东与黄炎培的“窑洞对”则针对历史周期率问题给出了“让人民来监督政府”的新路，回答了“政绩由谁评判”的关键问题，确立了人民作为政绩评判的主体地位。延安之行后，黄炎培在重庆出版《延安归来》，向国统区传播中国共产党“人民监督政府”的民主理念，为民主新路奠定了思想与舆论基础。华北人民政府成立时同步创设华北人民监察院作为专业行政监察机关，以监督公职人员违法失职行为、受理群众控告检举，成为新中国行政监察制度的雏形。1949年通过的《共同纲领》确立了“人民行使国家政权的机关为各级人大和政府”，为“人民监督政府”构建宪制基础，“民主新路”进入国家制度实施阶段。从“窑洞对”的人民监督政府到新时代全过程人民民主，中国共产党始终坚持“人民是我们党的工作的最高裁决者和最终评判者”。新时代践行正确政绩观必须把群众满意度作为核心考核标准，虚心接受人民的监督和建议，完善兼顾显性政绩与隐性政绩、发展成果与基础建设、短期成效与长远效益的综合评价体系，让群众口碑成为衡量工作成效的硬标尺，让政绩经得起人民检验。

Adhering to the fundamental standpoint of “people-centeredness” requires placing the people in the highest position, taking the needs of the masses as the work orientation and mass satisfaction as the evaluation criterion, thereby establishing the value standard of a correct outlook on political performance and clarifying the direction and boundaries of creating political performance.

坚持“以民为本”的根本立场要求将人民置于最高位置，以群众需求为工作导向、以群众满意度为评判标准，以此确立正确政绩观的价值准则，明确政绩创造的方向和边界。

II. Clarifying “What Kind of Political Performance to Create” with Strategic Sobriety

二、以战略清醒厘清“树什么样的政绩”

The “Heshu Dialogue,” the “Jiashen Dialogue” [8]8 Chen Yun (1905–1995) was a senior CPC leader who played a key role in economic policy from the 1940s through the 1980s., and the “Examination Dialogue” embody a systematic thinking based on the overall situation and the long term, as well as a governing sobriety of learning from history and being prepared for danger in times of peace. They clarify from both positive and negative aspects “what kind of political performance to create,” elucidating the political performance pursuits that Communists should adhere to and the false and flashy achievements they must discard, providing fundamental guidance for Party members and cadres in the New Era to establish a correct outlook on political performance.

“荷树对”“甲申对”“赶考对”蕴含的立足全局和长远的系统思维和以史为鉴、居安思危的执政清醒，从正反两方面厘清应当“树什么样的政绩”，阐明共产党人应坚守的政绩追求与须摒弃的虚功浮绩，为新时代党员干部树立正确政绩观提供根本指引。

In the 1928 “Heshu Dialogue” at Huangyangjie in Jinggangshan, facing the difficult situation of military encirclement by the Kuomintang, Mao Zedong, with the idea of “standing high and seeing far,” guided revolutionaries to “see the whole of China and the whole world,” demonstrating the strategic thinking of the Chinese Communists to step out of the local to see the overall situation and plan for the long term based on the present. Subsequently, in response to the doubts within the Party about “how long the red flag can fly,” Mao Zedong linked the base area struggle with the national revolutionary wave and the world revolutionary situation, proposed correct strategic and tactical principles, and achieved theoretically innovative strategic foresight. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Mao Zedong’s brilliant work “On Protracted War,” based on the overall situation of the Sino-Japanese War, refuted the theories of “national subjugation” and “quick victory,” scientifically predicted the three stages of the War of Resistance, and provided long-term strategic guidance for the entire nation’s war of resistance. This strategic realm highly aligns with the New Era requirements of “keeping the country’s major affairs in mind” and “making big calculations and accounting for the big picture,” revealing that true political performance should serve the overall national strategic situation and the long-term interests of the nation. Party members and cadres in the New Era must inherit the strategic wisdom of the “Heshu Dialogue,” uphold the spiritual realm of “achievements need not be attributed to me, but my contribution is indispensable,” and “do both practical things that the people can see, touch, and benefit from, and good things that pave the way, lay the foundation, and benefit the long term for future generations,” consolidating the foundation for high-quality development with a strategic vision.

在1928年井冈山黄洋界的“荷树对”中，面对国民党军事包围的艰难处境，毛泽东以“站得高、看得远”引导革命者要“看到全中国、全世界”，彰显出中国共产党人跳出局部看全局、立足当下谋长远的战略思维。而后针对党内“红旗到底打得多久”的疑虑，毛泽东将根据地斗争与全国革命浪潮、世界革命形势相联系，提出正确的战略战术原则，实现了具有战略前瞻性的理论创新。在抗战时期，毛泽东撰写的光辉著作《论持久战》，立足中日战争全局驳斥“亡国论”和“速胜论”，科学预见抗战三阶段，为全民族抗战提供长远战略指引。这一战略境界与新时代“对国之大者心中有数”“多打大算盘、算大账”的要求高度契合，揭示出真正政绩应当服务于国家战略全局和民族长远利益。新时代党员干部必须传承“荷树对”的战略智慧，秉持“功成不必在我、功成必定有我”的精神境界，“既要做让老百姓看得见、摸得着、得实惠的实事，也要做为后人作铺垫、打基础、利长远的好事”，以战略格局夯实高质量发展根基。

The 1944 “Jiashen Dialogue” contains a historical sense of vigilance against creating false political performance and against arrogance and complacency, clarifying the bottom line of political performance for Party members and cadres. Mao Zedong listed Guo Moruo’s “Reflections on the 300th Anniversary of the Jiashen Year” [9]9 This is Chen Yun's famous methodological formula: "不唯上、不唯书、只唯实，交换、比较、反复" — a guideline for decision-making based on facts, multiple perspectives, comparison, and iterative review. as a document for the entire Party’s rectification movement, using the historical fact that Li Zicheng’s peasant army quickly fell after entering Beijing due to arrogance and corruption to warn the entire Party to take it as a lesson and not to “repeat the mistake of arrogance at the moment of victory.” The essence of political performance is the responsibility and commitment to the Party and the people; any behavior that departs from the style of hard struggle and deviates from the original aspiration and founding mission will ultimately be abandoned by history and the people. The Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region issued the “Interim Regulations on the Assessment and Reward and Punishment of Border Region Civil Servants” and the “Convention for Government Personnel,” taking actual performance and mass support as assessment standards, opposing exaggeration and formalism. At the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the CPC, Mao Zedong proposed the adoption of the “Six Regulations” [10]10 Zhang Side (1915–1944) was a CPC soldier who died while burning charcoal in Yan'an. Mao Zedong's eulogy for him, "Serve the People," became one of the most famous texts in CPC political culture., which institutionally curbed the style of arrogance and formalism, prevented cadres from becoming arrogant and complacent, and drew a clean and pragmatic red line for cadre political performance. After reform and opening up, the cadre assessment system gradually became standardized, with assessments focusing on economic and social development and mass satisfaction as indicators, opposing “digital political performance” and “short-term behavior,” and explicitly listing the elimination of falsehood as an assessment requirement. All Party members and cadres must take the “Jiashen Dialogue” as a mirror, always maintain the sobriety of being prepared for danger in times of peace, resolutely resist false exaggeration and fraudulent behavior, put an end to data inflation, report beautification, and packaged implementation, and always treat work with a modest and prudent attitude, ensuring down-to-earth and solid political performance.

1944年的“甲申对”蕴含的不搞虚假政绩、不骄奢自满的历史忧患意识，为党员干部明确了政绩底线。毛泽东将郭沫若《甲申三百年祭》列为全党整风文件，借李自成农民军攻入北京后骄奢腐化迅速败亡的史实警示全党引为鉴戒，不要“重犯胜利时骄傲的错误”。政绩的本质是对党和人民的责任担当，所有脱离艰苦奋斗作风、背离初心使命的行为终将被历史和人民抛弃。陕甘宁边区颁布《边区公务员考核奖惩暂行条例》和《政务人员公约》，以实际业绩和群众支持为考核标准，反对浮夸与形式主义。党的七届二中全会上毛泽东提议通过了“六条规定”，从制度上遏制骄奢之风与形式主义，防范干部骄傲自满，为干部政绩划出廉洁务实红线。改革开放后，干部考核制度渐趋规范，考核着重以经济社会发展和群众满意度为指标，反对“数字政绩”与“短期行为”，明确将杜绝虚假列为考核要求。全体党员干部必须以“甲申对”为镜，时刻保持居安思危的清醒，坚决抵制虚假浮夸、弄虚作假行为，杜绝数字注水、报表美化、包装式落实，始终以谦虚谨慎的态度对待工作，确保脚踏实地干政绩。

In 1949, Mao Zedong issued the "taking the examination" [1]1 "Taking the examination" (赶考) refers to Mao Zedong's metaphor in 1949 comparing the CPC's assumption of national power to a rigorous imperial examination, implying that the Party must constantly prove its competence and integrity. call at Xibaipo, [2]2 Xibaipo was a village in Hebei Province that served as the CPC's last rural headquarters before entering Beijing in 1949. emphasizing with the firm oath "we will never become Li Zicheng" [3]3 Li Zicheng led a peasant rebellion that overthrew the Ming Dynasty in 1644 but quickly lost power due to corruption and indiscipline. Mao used this historical example to warn against complacency. the necessity of upholding the "Two Musts," [4]4 The "Two Musts" (两个务必) were Mao's 1949 injunction that the Party must remain modest, prudent, and free from arrogance and rashness, and must preserve the style of arduous struggle. forming a historical echo with the "Jiashen Dialogue" [5]5 The "Jiashen Dialogue" (甲申对) refers to Mao's 1944 discussion with Guo Moruo about Guo's essay commemorating the 300th anniversary of Li Zicheng's fall, which Mao distributed as a warning text. and demonstrating the consistent governing sobriety and steadfast original aspiration of Chinese Communists. This spirit runs through the Party's century-long struggle, showing that true political performance stems from arduous struggle rather than the pursuit of comfort and ease, and that development results rely on persistent accumulation rather than short-term expediency. Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Commission of Supervision have coordinated efforts to institutionalize the rectification of formalism and bureaucratism; the General Office of the Central Committee has issued notices on improving work style to advance the work of reducing burdens at the grassroots level, focusing on solving prominent problems such as excessive forms, inspections, and reports, and effectively curbing false political performance and formalism from an institutional level. In the New Era, facing complex and severe risks and challenges as well as arduous and heavy tasks of reform, development, and maintaining stability, Party members and cadres must forever maintain the sobriety of "taking the examination," always bear in mind the original aspiration and founding mission, strenuously guard against arrogance, luxury, comfort, and perfunctory evasion, work and start undertakings with a style of arduous struggle and seeking truth from facts, implement every task concretely and achieve tangible results, resolutely resist short-term expediency and falsification, and ensure that all political performance can withstand the long-term test of historical evolution and practical development.

1949年，毛泽东在西柏坡发出“赶考”号召，以“我们决不当李自成”的坚定誓言强调必须坚持“两个务必”，与“甲申对”形成历史呼应，彰显中国共产党人一贯的执政清醒与初心坚守。这一精神贯穿党的百年奋斗历程，表明真正的政绩源于艰苦奋斗而非贪图安逸，发展成效依靠持之以恒的积累而非急功近利。在党中央领导下，中央纪委国家监委协同推进制度化整治形式主义、官僚主义工作，中央办公厅印发改善作风问题的通知以推进基层减负工作，聚焦解决报表多、检查多、汇报多等突出问题，从制度层面有效遏制虚假政绩和形式主义现象。新时代面对复杂严峻的风险挑战与艰巨繁重的改革发展稳定任务，党员干部必须永葆“赶考”清醒，始终牢记初心使命，力戒骄奢安逸、敷衍塞责，以艰苦奋斗、求真务实的作风干事创业，把每一项工作落到实处、取得实效，坚决抵制急功近利、弄虚作假的行为，确保各项政绩能够经受住历史演进与实践发展的长期检验。

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasizes that "it is not easy to remain vigilant in times of peace and prosperity and maintain the spirit of vigorous governance as in the early days of starting an undertaking when one has achieved success and fame; it is not easy to practice frugality and self-restraint and to be respectful and consistent from beginning to end after taking power." [6]6 This is a quotation from Xi Jinping's speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the CPC on July 1, 2016. Therefore, for Party members and cadres to establish a correct outlook on political performance, they must inherit this sense of urgency, clarify direction through strategic vision, maintain stability through bottom-line thinking, preserve political character through steadfast original aspiration, and solve the problem of the path to achieving political performance with scientific methods and a pragmatic work style.

习近平总书记强调“功成名就时做到居安思危、保持创业初期那种励精图治的精神状态不容易，执掌政权后做到节俭内敛、敬终如始不容易”，因此，党员干部树立正确政绩观要传承这种忧患意识，通过战略视野明确方向，以底线思维保持定力、初心坚守维护政治本色，用科学方法与务实作风解决政绩实现路径问题。

III. Answering "What to Rely on to Establish Political Performance" with Seeking Truth from Facts

三、以实事求是回答“靠什么树政绩”

The wisdom of seeking truth from facts embodied in the "Zaoyuan Dialogue" [7]7 The "Zaoyuan Dialogue" (枣园对) refers to a series of discussions between Mao Zedong and Chen Yun in 1943 at Zaoyuan, a residential compound in Yan'an, on the method of seeking truth from facts. is the fundamental ideological method of a Marxist political party and the scientific method for Party members and cadres in the New Era to practice a correct outlook on political performance, scientifically answering the key question of "what to rely on to establish political performance."

“枣园对”蕴含的实事求是智慧是马克思主义政党的根本思想方法，更是新时代党员干部践行正确政绩观的科学方法，科学回答了“靠什么树政绩”的关键问题。

In the 1943 "Zaoyuan Dialogue," Chen Yun [8]8 Chen Yun (1905–1995) was a senior CPC leader who played a key role in economic policy from the 1940s through the 1980s. consulted Mao Zedong three times on "how to make fewer mistakes." Mao Zedong proposed that "making mistakes is a problem of ideological method," profoundly pointing out that seeking truth from facts is the Party's ideological soul and principle for conducting affairs. On this basis, Chen Yun summarized the classic criterion of "not deferring to superiors, not deferring to books, only deferring to facts; exchange, compare, repeat," [9]9 This is Chen Yun's famous methodological formula: "不唯上、不唯书、只唯实，交换、比较、反复" — a guideline for decision-making based on facts, multiple perspectives, comparison, and iterative review. fundamentally clarifying the methodological question of "how to correctly conduct affairs and how to create real performance" for Communists. Zhang Side, [10]10 Zhang Side (1915–1944) was a CPC soldier who died while burning charcoal in Yan'an. Mao Zedong's eulogy for him, "Serve the People," became one of the most famous texts in CPC political culture. carrying the principles and spirit he had grasped in Zaoyuan, joined the charcoal-burning team and, after fully investigating and understanding the forest conditions, accurately arranged the work. After his sacrifice, Mao Zedong said at his memorial meeting, "Comrade Zhang Side died for the interests of the people. His death is weightier than Mount Tai." [11]11 This is a direct quotation from Mao's 1944 essay "Serve the People." In 1944, when Chen Yun was presiding over economic work in the Northwest, facing the challenges of the Kuomintang blockade and severe inflation, he proposed the policy of "developing production, balancing imports and exports, tightening currency, and practicing strict economy" based on in-depth investigation and research, and ensured the accuracy of decisions by extensively soliciting opinions and repeatedly calculating data, ultimately achieving a basic balance of fiscal revenue and expenditure, demonstrating the effectiveness of solving economic difficulties from reality. After the founding of New China, Zhu De, [12]12 Zhu De (1886–1976) was a founding father of the People's Liberation Army and a senior CPC leader, serving as Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Route Army and later as Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress. through normalized on-site investigation and research, broke through the theoretical limitations of the planned economy's single public ownership and proposed a series of innovative policy suggestions; at the same time, he emphasized the objective law that the scale of construction must be compatible with national strength, and even under political pressure, he insisted on seeking truth from facts, continuously advising the central authorities to pay attention to agriculture and people's livelihood issues, demonstrating the investigative style of Chinese Communists who are truth-seeking, realistic, and dare to speak out. This ideological method is highly consistent with the correct outlook on political performance in the New Era: true political performance can only come from practical action based on objective reality, respect for the laws of development, and close ties with the masses. To practice a correct outlook on political performance in the New Era, one must firmly adhere to the ideological essence of seeking truth from facts conveyed by the "Zaoyuan Dialogue," always insist on proceeding from reality in everything, and regard investigation and research as the fundamental basis for planning affairs and the key method for achieving undertakings. Actively root oneself at the grassroots level and among the masses, establish a normalized investigation and research mechanism, accurately grasp objective reality and the true demands of the masses, so that all decisions and deployments are both in line with the central spirit and suited to local conditions, both conform to the laws of development and meet the expectations of the masses, fundamentally eliminate erroneous decisions divorced from reality, and create solid political performance that can withstand the test of practice, the people, and history through genuine hard work.

1943年的“枣园对”中，陈云就“怎样才能少犯错误”三次向毛泽东请教，毛泽东提出“犯错误是思想方法问题”，深刻指明实事求是是党的思想灵魂与干事原则。陈云在此基础上总结出“不唯上、不唯书、只唯实，交换、比较、反复”经典准则，从根本上厘清共产党人“如何正确干事、如何创造实绩”的方法论问题。张思德带着在枣园领悟到的道理和精神加入烧炭队，在充分调查了解林木情况后准确安排工作开展。他牺牲后，毛泽东在他的追悼会上讲到“张思德同志是为人民利益而死的，他的死是比泰山还要重的”。1944年陈云在西北主持经济工作时，面对国民党封锁和严重通胀的挑战，他基于深入调研提出“发展生产、平衡进出口、紧缩货币、厉行节约”的方针，并通过广泛听取意见和反复测算数据确保决策准确，最终实现财政收支基本平衡，彰显了从实际出发破解经济困局的效能。朱德在新中国成立后通过常态化实地调研，突破计划经济单一公有制的理论局限，提出一系列创新性政策建议；同时强调建设规模与国力相适应的客观规律，即使在政治高压下仍坚持实事求是，持续向中央建言重视农业与民生问题，展现了中国共产党人唯实求真、敢于直言的调研风范。这一思想方法与新时代正确政绩观高度契合，真正的政绩只能来源于立足客观实际、尊重发展规律、密切联系群众的实干实践。新时代践行正确政绩观，必须牢牢坚守“枣园对”传递的实事求是思想精髓，始终坚持一切从实际出发，将调查研究视作谋划事务的根本依据、成就事业的关键方法。积极扎根基层一线和群众中间，建立常态化调研机制，精准把握客观实际、掌握群众真实诉求，使各项决策部署既符合中央精神、又贴合地方实际，既顺应发展规律、又满足群众期盼，从源头上杜绝脱离实际的错误决策，以真抓实干创造出经得起实践、人民和历史检验的过硬政绩。

IV. Conclusion

四、结语

The "Six Dialogues on Party History" condense important theoretical achievements formed by the Communist Party of China in its revolutionary practice, providing important guidance for Party members and cadres in the New Era to establish a correct outlook on political performance. On the new journey of building a strong country and realizing national rejuvenation, Party members and cadres should draw wisdom from the classics of Party history, adhere to the people's standpoint, grasp the overall development situation, insist on seeking truth from facts, strengthen their sense of responsibility, and fulfill the missions and tasks entrusted by the New Era with work achievements that meet the requirements of practice, the needs of the masses, and the test of history.

“党史六对”凝结了中国共产党在革命实践中形成的重要理论成果，为新时代党员干部确立正确政绩观提供了重要遵循。在实现强国建设、民族复兴的新征程中，党员干部应当从党史经典中汲取智慧，坚守人民立场、把握发展大局、坚持实事求是、强化责任担当，以符合实践要求、群众需要和历史检验的工作实绩完成新时代赋予的使命任务。
