I. Introduction
On March 4, 2006, General Secretary Hu Jintao made an important speech on the socialist concept of honor and disgrace when he visited the members attending the Fourth Session of the Tenth Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The speech focused on patriotism, collectivism and socialism, expressed the essential requirements of socialist basic morality and social fashion, and was highly ideological, instructive and realistic. On the road of modernization, the socialist concept of honor and disgrace is a concentrated expression of social values, a powerful bond to unite people's hearts and a powerful spiritual motive force to achieve grand goals. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace has inherent consistency with Scientific Outlook on Development, which will provide solid value support and ethical guarantee for the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development.
The Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee pointed out that building a new socialist countryside is a major historical task in the process of China's modernization. At present, we are standing at a new starting point of realizing the 11th Five-Year Plan, building a well-off society in an all-round way, building a harmonious society, building an innovative country and building a new socialist countryside. It is an important measure to carry out the socialist concept of honor and disgrace in the construction of new socialist countryside, which is of great significance to enhance the spiritual outlook of new rural construction, build mainstream social values and realize the development of a harmonious society.
In July 2006, with the guiding ideology of "studying and implementing Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents, implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, studying and practicing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, and serving the construction of a new socialist countryside", the practice team went to Taizhou to organize social summer practice activities. Combined with practice, this paper discusses the practical significance of socialist concept of honor and disgrace to the construction of new countryside.
Second, the concept of honor and disgrace on the practical significance of new rural construction
In the construction of new socialist countryside, rural grass-roots and farmers must establish cultural concepts and right and wrong concepts suitable for the construction of new countryside while accelerating rural economic development and improving the natural and social environment. In the construction of new socialist countryside, we should not confuse the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil. We must take a clear-cut stand on what we insist on, what we oppose, what we advocate and what we resist. I believe that once this kind of culture and concept of right and wrong are formed and deeply rooted in people's hearts, it can exert its extensive, stable and lasting influence in ways of thinking and behavior habits, and provide solid ideological guarantee, spiritual motivation, intellectual support and cultural support for the construction of new countryside. At present, the construction of new socialist countryside is in its infancy, so it is of great significance to advocate the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, establish a good social atmosphere and promote the construction of new countryside.
(A) the socialist concept of honor and disgrace is conducive to the ideological emancipation of the new rural construction. The construction of new socialist countryside covers politics, economy, culture and other aspects, and the socialist concept of honor and disgrace points out the direction and goal for the construction of new countryside. We believe that economic development and life well-being are the economic requirements to be achieved in the construction of new countryside, and rural civilization, beautiful environment and social harmony are the ultimate goals to be achieved in the construction of new countryside. Cultivating new farmers is an important task to practice the socialist concept of honor and disgrace and a necessary guarantee for talents in new rural construction.
(B) the socialist concept of honor and disgrace provides moral standards for the construction of new countryside. "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" involves social atmosphere such as life attitude, public behavior and social fashion. Social atmosphere is an important symbol of rural social civilization and a concentrated expression of social value orientation. It is the strong desire of the broad masses of the people to establish a good social atmosphere, the inevitable requirement of the smooth development of the economy and society, and the important direction of the socialist concept of honor and disgrace. If the new rural construction blindly pursues economic construction and ignores ideological and moral construction, it will lose its direction, and eventually the rural economic construction will be affected, and even have a great impact on the economy of the whole society.
(C) the socialist concept of honor and disgrace is the source of strength for building a new countryside. The Fifth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee pointed out that building a new socialist countryside is an important historical task in China's modernization process, which requires the long-term hard work of the whole party, the whole society and the people of the whole country, and the relationship between internal potential and external support in rural areas must be correctly handled. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace requires vigorously carrying forward the spirit of self-reliance and hard struggle, conscientiously implementing the people-oriented thought, actively carrying forward the advanced culture in rural areas, and striving to cultivate skilled new farmers. Provide strong intellectual support and spiritual motivation for the construction of new socialist countryside.
Third, fully understand the existing problems at this stage.
While affirming the achievements made in the construction of new countryside, we should also clearly understand the problems and deficiencies existing in the construction of new countryside at this stage, and we need to effectively change these problems and deficiencies. The following is a detailed discussion and analysis of the relevant contents of the concept of honor and disgrace:
(A) there are deviations in theoretical understanding
Due to the low level of education in rural areas, there are some deviations in the theoretical understanding of the new countryside, which are mainly manifested in three points: (1) the deviation in understanding the meaning of the new countryside. Some simply understand the construction of new countryside as village construction; Some only pay attention to hardware construction, ignoring software construction such as spiritual civilization construction, democracy and legal system construction; (2) the deviation of understanding the new rural policy. Many people in some villages still have a vague understanding that the construction of new countryside is a matter for the government. Farmers' understanding of the idea of "government-led, farmers' subject" is not in place, their participation in activities is not high, and the universality of their work is not enough; (3) The understanding of the construction process is biased. The construction of new countryside is an important, arduous and long-term historical process. Some comrades have insufficient understanding of the development of new rural construction and lack the initiative and urgency of rural construction.
(B) Low quality of farmers, lack of awareness of training
There is still a big gap between the ideological concept and cultural level of rural residents and the requirements of building a harmonious new countryside. On August 16, 2006, Wei Chaoan, vice minister of agriculture, said at the working conference of training new farmers in the Central Agricultural Radio and Television School: Of the 490 million rural laborers in China, only 13% have received high school education, 36.7% have received primary school education, and less than 5% have received systematic agricultural vocational and technical education. The relatively low quality of farmers has become the bottleneck to solve the problems of agriculture, countryside and farmers. Therefore, to build a new socialist countryside, it is necessary to speed up the development of rural social education and cultivate new farmers in order to promote the construction of a new socialist countryside. The future agricultural production in rural areas of China not only faces the shortage of labor with basic agricultural production skills, but also needs workers who master modern agricultural production technology. Therefore, we must speed up the establishment of rural labor force training mechanism, carry out compulsory agricultural skills training for rural farmers, encourage college students and graduate students who have received higher education to go to the countryside, and speed up the establishment of a new modern agricultural production development promotion mechanism. Through continuous efforts, the quality of farmers in the whole countryside has been effectively improved.
(C) farmers have a heavy economic burden
Building a new socialist countryside needs a lot of funds, and the sources of funds must be enriched by developing the collective economy. However, under the current system, the rural collective economy also bears the expenses of public welfare undertakings such as education, health, public security, infrastructure construction, social security, etc. The social burden is heavy, and the construction of new countryside faces a funding bottleneck. According to statistics, education expenditure accounts for 30% of the total family income, becoming the largest expenditure of rural families; The annual medical expenditure of farmers accounts for about 65,438+00% of the total expenditure of farmers. For the relatively poor farmers in China, it is simply difficult to provide long-term strong financial support for the construction of new countryside.
(D) The development of rural social undertakings is lagging behind.
The development of social undertakings in rural areas is lagging behind, and the government should undertake more obligations, mainly as follows: (1) The compulsory education link is weak, and the education expenditure accounts for 30% of the total family income; (2) The sanitation situation in rural areas is worrying, especially the drinking water problem in rural areas. At present, 12.48% of the rural population does not drink tap water, and more than 85% of farmers do not use harmless toilets. (3) The living environment is seriously damaged, and there are no domestic garbage and sewage treatment facilities in most rural areas, and littering of domestic garbage and natural discharge of domestic water are still common; (4) The medical equipment is very simple and the medical expenses are huge. It is understood that the annual medical expenses of farmers account for about 10% of the total expenditure of farmers.
Fourth, strengthen the concept of social honor and disgrace and promote the construction of new countryside.
General Secretary Hu Jintao's socialist concept of honor and disgrace with "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" as its main content is intrinsically consistent with Scientific Outlook on Development's, which will provide solid value support and ethical guarantee for Scientific Outlook on Development's implementation. Building a new socialist countryside is an inevitable requirement for the full implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development, that is, adhering to the people-oriented principle, solving farmers' problems, enabling farmers to have a good living environment, and promoting the all-round development of industry and agriculture, the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, and the sustainable development of man and nature. Therefore, practicing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace should be combined with building a new socialist countryside.
(A) to strengthen the concept of honor and disgrace education, and create an honest and trustworthy social atmosphere. Honesty is not only character, quality and ability; This is also the meaning of building a harmonious socialist society. Confucius said, "People can't stand without faith." He advocated that "words must be done, and actions must be fruitful." In fact, the same is true of building a new socialist countryside. In addition to matching words with deeds, our governments at all levels should also educate the broad masses of farmers to keep their promises and keep their promises. Honesty and trustworthiness is not only the foundation of being a man, but also the foundation of doing business; It is not only the basis of reform and opening up, but also the basis of development and progress; It is not only the foundation of running the army and politics, but also the foundation of running the country and ensuring peace. Therefore, carrying out the education of social concept of honor and disgrace in the whole society will not only help people carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, but also help people firmly establish the moral concept of building a new socialist countryside and lay a solid foundation for building a harmonious socialist society.
(2) Strengthen the education of the concept of honor and disgrace and adhere to the attitude of serving the people. British psychologist Maslow put forward the famous hierarchy of needs theory. He believes that everyone wants to be rewarded by others or social groups, which is everyone's psychological need to be respected by others. Therefore, it is the fundamental requirement of society to strengthen the education of the concept of honor and disgrace and be proud of serving the people. Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out that the leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for building a new socialist countryside, and party member must listen to the opinions and suggestions of the grass-roots people extensively, and constantly let farmers get tangible benefits, so as to finally realize the long-term goal of building a new socialist countryside.
(3) Strengthen the education of the concept of honor and disgrace, and maintain the stable, orderly and healthy development of society. In social life, on the one hand, we need the protection and supervision of various legal systems to establish various normal orders and enable people to engage in production and business activities smoothly; More importantly, it is necessary to reach a generally recognized healthy and upward value concept in the whole society and form a spiritual bond and moral fashion to maintain social stability and harmony. China is in the primary stage of building a new socialist countryside. As a long-term historical task, we must vigorously strengthen the education of socialist concept of honor and disgrace with "eight honors and eight disgraces" as the main content, improve people's ideological and moral quality, and provide a strong ideological guarantee for building a harmonious socialist society.
(4) Strengthen the education of the concept of honor and disgrace, and realize the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The harmony of a society includes not only economic harmony, political harmony, but also ecological harmony, that is, to achieve harmony between man and nature. With the continuous development of science and technology, people's living standards are constantly improving, while extravagance and waste are more terrible, environmental pollution is more serious and ecological damage is more serious. Apart from natural factors, all this is more important because of human factors, which is the result of people's disregard for nature protection and ecological harmony. Building a new socialist countryside is the common action of the whole party and the whole people. We must mobilize social forces and mobilize the whole society to care, support and participate in the construction of new countryside. Carry forward the spirit of harmonious development and advocate the harmonious and orderly development of new socialist countryside construction.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) conclusion
In short, practicing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace and building a new socialist countryside is not only a strategic project concerning the overall situation, but also an important project to strengthen Party building and maintain the advanced nature of Communist party member in the new period. In practice, we will closely combine the practice of socialist concept of honor and disgrace with the construction of a new socialist countryside, which will certainly play a greater role in development and win the heartfelt support and support of farmers.
