The "Implementation Outline of Civic Morality Construction" issued by the Central Committee pointed out: "The process of civic morality construction is the process of combining education with practice. Taking activities as the carrier and attracting the general participation of the masses is an important way to strengthen the moral construction of citizens under the new situation. " It depends on education and practice to establish correct ideological and moral concepts and cultivate good moral feelings and behaviors. Actively carry out mass moral practice activities, highlight ideological connotation and strengthen moral requirements in moral practice, so that the people can cultivate their sentiments in conscious participation and lay a solid and reliable foundation for moral construction.
Moral practice is an important way to strengthen citizens' moral construction. Moral practice is the basic premise of moral formation and development, and it is also the inherent requirement of building a socialist ideological and moral system. The establishment of people's moral ideals and the consolidation of moral beliefs are inseparable from colorful moral practice. To strengthen citizens' moral construction, we must attach great importance to the role of moral practice and infiltrate moral practice into the whole process of moral construction.
First, moral practice is an effective carrier to attract people to participate in moral construction. As the main body of moral construction, the people are both practitioners and beneficiaries of moral construction, and they have great enthusiasm and creativity in moral construction. Fundamentally speaking, moral construction is closely related to people's life and work, and it embodies people's interests. If moral construction is done well, the people's ideological and moral level is noble, the social atmosphere is excellent, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the actual interests of the people can be effectively guaranteed; On the contrary, it will be damaged to varying degrees.
Secondly, moral practice is an important guarantee to enhance citizens' moral realm. Moral practice belongs to formative education and is a process of unity of knowing and doing. The moral realm of citizens includes moral cognition, moral emotion, moral will and moral behavior, among which moral behavior is an important standard to measure people's moral realm. Moral practice plays a key role in the evolution from moral cognition to moral behavior. On the one hand, practice is the source of knowledge and the driving force for the development of knowledge. Only by experiencing and feeling the power of morality in moral practice can we gradually improve our understanding of morality and then dominate their respective moral behaviors. On the other hand, practice is the purpose of cognition and the premise of moral formation and development. Whether moral cognition is correct or not depends on the test of moral practice. Through vivid and concrete moral practice, moral cognition can be gradually sublimated into relatively stable moral behavior, so as to achieve the goal of unity of knowledge and action. The fundamental way to effectively overcome the disconnection between theory and practice and between knowledge and practice in the current moral construction process is to guide people to actively participate in moral practice, constantly strengthen moral cultivation and enhance moral realm in practice.
Third, moral practice is a concrete measure to implement basic moral norms. For the first time, the "Outline" clearly puts forward the 20-character basic moral norms of citizens, namely, "patriotism and law-abiding, courtesy and honesty, unity and friendliness, diligence and self-improvement, dedication and dedication". These moral norms cover all aspects of people's daily life and are the crystallization of the integration of Chinese traditional virtues and modern civilization. Transforming these basic moral norms into people's conscious consciousness and actions is also inseparable from the support of moral practice. On the one hand, the implementation of the 20-character basic moral code needs the coordination and promotion of education and practice; On the other hand, integrating the 20-character basic moral norms into moral practice can have a strong impact on people's desire to create a better life and enhance the attraction and appeal of moral practice.
Moral practice is the key link in the implementation of the outline and the concrete embodiment of the principle of taking construction as the center and putting people first. In carrying out mass moral practice activities, we must always pay attention to correctly grasping the following three aspects.
The first is the relationship between moral education and moral practice. Moral education and moral practice are interrelated, inseparable, complementary and indispensable in the moral construction of citizens. On the one hand, moral education should run through the whole process of moral practice. Pay attention to the educational function of moral practice, organize practical activities around the theme of moral education, make people clear the significance and requirements of practice, and enhance their initiative and consciousness in participating in moral practice. On the other hand, moral practice is introduced into moral education. Only by combining with moral practice, focusing on the urgent problems in citizens' moral life and carrying out moral practice activities in depth can moral education have a sense of the times and appeal, and can it achieve tangible results.
The second is the relationship between inheritance and innovation. Moral practice must keep pace with the times, inherit the tradition and be brave in innovation. It is necessary to inherit the traditional virtues formed by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, carry forward the fine traditional morality formed by the party leading the people in the long-term revolutionary struggle and construction practice, and learn from the successful experience and advanced civilization achievements of moral construction in other countries. At the same time, with the development of economy and society, people's requirements for morality are getting higher and higher, and moral construction is facing new opportunities and challenges. Therefore, according to the new situation and tasks, we should constantly study new situations and solve new problems, create new carriers and enrich new contents, refine and decompose social morality, professional ethics, family virtues and other contents in a targeted manner, carry out moral practice in depth and practically, constantly explore new fields of moral practice, and enhance the effectiveness of moral practice.
The third is the relationship between moral practice and rule of law practice. The formation, consolidation and development of good morality depend on both moral practice and the rule of law. Moral construction belongs to the category of "rule by virtue", but it cannot be separated from the close cooperation of "rule by law" and needs the organic unity of moral "self-discipline" and "heteronomy". In the construction of citizens' morality, emphasizing moral practice means attaching importance to the role of morality itself, making people consciously obey moral evaluation and accept moral constraints from the heart through moral self-improvement, so as to achieve the goal of balancing themselves and stabilizing society; Emphasizing the practice of the rule of law is to judge or sanction immoral behaviors or habits from the perspective of legislation, so that things that violate morality have no place. Only in this way can we give full play to the role of "self-discipline" and "heteronomy", organically combine internal self-awakening with external constraints, and jointly promote the development of civic moral construction to a higher level.
