(1) Insist that the Party should strictly manage the Party in an all-round way. Strengthen the education, management and supervision of Party organizations at all levels and all party member, put discipline ahead, pay attention to grasping early and small, and prevent delaying the opportunity.

(3) Seeking truth from facts. Party organizations and party member's violations of Party discipline should be based on facts and take party constitution, other party regulations and national laws and regulations as the criterion, accurately identify the nature of disciplinary violations, distinguish different situations and properly handle them.

(4) Democratic centralism. The implementation of disciplinary action shall be decided by the party organization through collective discussion in accordance with the prescribed procedures, and shall not be decided and approved by individuals or a few people without authorization.

(5) Learn lessons and save lives. For Party organizations and party member who violate Party discipline, we should combine punishment with education, so as to combine leniency with severity.

When explaining this policy, Mao Zedong pointed out: "We must expose the mistakes of the past, and we should analyze and criticize the bad things of the past with a scientific attitude, so as to make the later work more cautious and better. This is the meaning of' learning from the past'.
