Chapter 63 Nine Questions: How can you help Cangcang if you have a bad heart?

This is a poem written by Liu Jianliang, the Minister of the Ministry of Households in the Ming Dynasty. From this poem, we can see the ideological and moral principles and political value orientation of this "Liu Shangshu" as a "senior civil servant" of the country.This coincides with the "Three Represents" theory we are currently advocating and the requirement of using the "Scientific Outlook on Development" to guide the construction of a socialist harmonious society.In his view, "devotion to oneself" and "clean and honest governance" are exactly the "rules of governance" for those in power.

Here, we might as well transform the poem "A Cunxin is worthy of Cangcang" into "How can a Cunxin not be worthy of Cangcang?" In a historical period of simplicity in the world and clear politics, "government is clean and honest" represents a kind of political value orientation of officials and rulers since ancient times. Confucius said a long time ago: "Politics are upright." The word "upright" fully explains a code of conduct for people and officials. Under the huge plaque of "upright and bright", a big "right" Shining the moral brilliance of "personality" and "official character".

"If you don't have a good heart, how can you help Cangcang?" This reminds some politicians to always ask themselves in their positions, and to "examine themselves three times" all the time and everything. We believe that the core meaning of this poem written by "Liu Shangshu" is to emphasize the "end" of his "inch heart". We believe that "duty" is a kind of social responsibility; "duty" is a kind of personality self-discipline; it is also a kind of self-correction of human morality. But in today's era, we vigorously advocate "government clean and honest", which should be given its due meaning in the new era.This requires individual politicians to be "clean and honest in government", to become public servants supported, trusted, and praised by the people, and to "self-cultivate" from the direction of ideological and moral quality.We believe that this kind of "self-cultivation" is actually the principles of self-examination, self-respect, self-policing, and self-improvement that people often refer to, and it is the moral code of prudent independence, prudence, prudence, prudence, prudence, and prudence.

In particular, it should be emphasized that in daily life, our "people's public servants" must have a "square and square" heart", be open-minded, open-minded, and aboveboard; Do your best in your duties”; more importantly, we must advocate fairness and justice, advocate fairness and decency, practice honesty and trustworthiness, and so on. In short, we must take the "needs" of the people's livelihood into consideration, and "end" is already a virtue. This is the call of the times for a prosperous nation to keep pace with the times, and it is also the call of the people's livelihood for a country that strives for prosperity for the prosperity of the people and the prosperity of the country.This is the same as some current "parents and officials" eat the people's salaries while squeezing the people's oil and blood, speculate on the world with their "improper hearts" in their own small corners, and put personal greed above the people.As everyone knows, no matter how much power they have, it is all given by the country and the people. This requires our parents to be responsible for the interests of the country and the people, and consciously place their words and deeds within the scope of the constitution and the law.

"If you don't have a good heart, how can you help Cangcang?" This is a simple and ordinary ancient "verse", but also a deafening "motto". Even today, it still sounds powerful, that is to say, it has become the "truth of being an official" that is universally applicable across time and space. We believe that this is the essence of what today's rulers should grasp as a person, as an official, and as a political principle. If your "wrong heart" can't "help the Cangcang", then you should "move the potatoes-move the place" as soon as possible.
