Only by absorbing the essence of tradition can we have a solid foundation; Only by embodying the spirit of the times can we lead the fashion of the times.
Comrade Hu Jintao's important exposition on establishing the socialist concept of honor and disgrace clarifies the basic value orientation and code of conduct of our society at present, reflects the tradition of the Chinese nation and the requirements of the times of reform and opening up, and has strong ideological and practical pertinence.
The concept of honor and disgrace has existed since ancient times, and everyone has a sense of honor and disgrace. Different times, different nationalities and people with different world outlook, outlook on life and values have different views on honor and disgrace. Engels said, "Every social group has its own concept of honor and disgrace". The socialist concept of honor and disgrace answers what is honor and shame in socialist society. To establish the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, we should not only carry forward the fine tradition, but also embody the spirit of the times; We should base ourselves on our own country and face the world; We should grasp today and face the future.
In the final analysis, the concept of honor and disgrace of each era and each nation is determined by the level of productivity development of that nation in that era, and it also greatly affects the economic and social development. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace with "eight honors and eight disgraces" as its main content has distinct characteristics of the times. It defines honor and disgrace, judges right and wrong, distinguishes beauty and ugliness, bases itself on China's actual national conditions and focuses on the requirements of modernization development, which embodies the unity of inheritance and innovation.
"Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" embodies the characteristics of the primary stage of socialism. The socialist concept of honor and disgrace contains the guiding ideology, principles and basic moral norms of citizens in socialist ideological and moral construction, and insists on serving the people as the core, collectivism as the principle, and loving the motherland, people, labor, science and socialism as the basic requirements. "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" has both advanced guidance and extensive requirements, guiding people to straighten out the relationship between individuals, collectives and countries, correctly handling the relationship between individuals and society, competition and cooperation, getting rich first and sharing wealth together, and establishing a code of conduct that all citizens in socialist society generally agree with and consciously abide by.
"Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" embodies the characteristics of market economy. The development of socialist market economy has greatly enhanced people's consciousness of self-improvement, competition, efficiency, democracy and legal system and pioneering and innovative spirit, but the defects and negative factors of the market itself will also be reflected in people's ideological and moral and interpersonal relationships. Market economy is interest economy, benefit economy, credit economy and legal economy. "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" puts forward a clear boundary between right and wrong, good and evil in view of negative phenomena and social harm such as money worship, hedonism, forgetting righteousness, dishonesty and deception. Its rich connotation provides an ideological basis for ensuring the healthy development of the socialist market economy and building a moral system suitable for the socialist market economy.
"Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" embodies the characteristics of modern society. With the development of science and technology and social progress, people's public life has been expanding, mutual communication has become increasingly frequent, and social division of labor has become increasingly fine. "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" plays a more prominent role in safeguarding public interests, public order and social stability, and has become an important embodiment of citizens' personal moral cultivation and social civilization. "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" establishes the code of conduct that citizens should follow in public life and public interests, which is conducive to promoting the all-round progress of society and the all-round development of people.
In our society, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness cannot be confused. Otherwise, social harmony, economic development, national spirit and the country will not be strong. The "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" put forward by Comrade Hu Jintao clearly points out what we should adhere to, what we should oppose, what we should advocate and what we should resist, and should become the value orientation and code of conduct that every member and citizen should have.
An era has an era of spiritual fashion. "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" has become a common practice in the whole society, so that our nation can stand in the forefront of the times in ideological and moral construction, lead the fashion of the times and promote the progress of the times.
In our ancient country where the essence and dross of cultural heritage coexist, people have long been numb to a little bit of poor happiness, the voice of integrity is often unable to shout out, the far-reaching vision is often blocked by fog, and the sense of hardship is always ridiculed. Our society is like a child in front of a mirror, smirking at his twisted body, refusing to leave, and finally even his spirit is distorted. At this time, I can't help but say a good word for this quiet but thunderous discourse, this unswerving pursuit of truth.
Inheriting National Traditional Virtues and Cultivating Socialist Concept of Honor and Disgrace —— Learning from General Secretary Hu Jintao's "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces"
As a nation with a long history, the Chinese nation has accumulated noble traditional virtues and excellent national spirit in the history of thousands of years of civilization. As the essence of national culture, it has always been the spiritual force to maintain the honor and disgrace of our nation, and it is still the driving force to support our nation and country in the socialist revolution and modernization, and it is also an important content of socialist spiritual civilization. However, with the continuous enrichment of material life and the influence of foreign culture, the society began to be permeated with the atmosphere of money first and hedonism. Many people who are influenced by the so-called "modern life concept" begin to challenge their own morality and national laws for material enjoyment, and the traditional virtues and socialist morality of the nation are facing a severe test.
At a time when this ethos and ideological trend are spreading to the society in an attempt to subvert the traditional moral concepts of the Chinese nation and seriously affect the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, General Secretary Hu Jintao, as a party and country, put forward the socialist concept of "eight honors and eight disgraces" in time, which fully shows that a * * * is responsible to the people and a ruling party is responsible to the country and the nation. The proposal of "eight honors and eight disgraces" is a solemn response to this moral crisis in society and a firm defense of the traditional virtues and socialist morality of the Chinese nation. Establishing the socialist moral concept of honor and disgrace of the whole society and forming the new socialist moral fashion of the whole society is an important content of governing the country by virtue, and it is also a powerful guarantee and an important supplement to governing the country by law. "Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" has set a correct moral standard for the whole society, is a code of conduct that all people who are aware of the social moral crisis should have, and is a powerful weapon to fight against unhealthy trends and ugly phenomena that lead to moral deficiency.
"Insist on being proud of loving the motherland, endangering the motherland, serving the people, deviating from the people, advocating science, ignorance, hard work, unity and mutual assistance, harming others, honesty and trustworthiness, selfishness, law-abiding, lawbreaking and hard work. It immediately received the attention and positive response from all walks of life, because it reflected the wishes of the broad masses of the people and the strong desire to change the social atmosphere. General Secretary Hu Jintao also pointed out in particular: "In our socialist society, the boundaries between right and wrong, good and evil, beauty and ugliness must not be confused, and we must clearly stand for what we stand for, what we oppose, what we advocate and what we resist. We should guide the broad masses of cadres and people, especially teenagers, to establish a socialist concept of honor and disgrace. "As a college student and a young man, I can understand the general secretary's special concern for young comrades. Our generation of young people are the hope of the country and the nation in the future, and also the successors and builders of the cause of the party and the people. Therefore, our ideological and moral cultivation and the establishment of the concept of honor and disgrace have a direct impact on the future of our country and nation. In particular, our young characteristics determine that we are more susceptible to the influence of social atmosphere and various ideological trends. It is also easier to become the lack of national traditional morality and socialist morality and deviate from the hope of the country and the nation. This is not an alarmist. In real life, there are also many contemporary college students' moral deficiencies. Whether it is the credit crisis of college students caused by the non-repayment of student loans or the bad habit of plagiarism, everything points to us at the top of the ivory tower, so many people not only fail to become defenders and advocates of social morality. On the contrary, we are lost in moral deficiency, so the socialist concept of "eight honors and eight disgraces" should be our first possession. Only by knowing shame and being brave can we cultivate our morality and repay the country and society. Love the motherland, advocate science, study hard, be honest and trustworthy, and abide by the law. Are all moral principles that we should have. Therefore, we must first learn morality, know honor and shame in the future social role, distinguish right from wrong, let our knowledge and strength serve the society and the country, serve our conscience and morality, and strive for glory and avoid shame. Be a person of virtue, honor and shame recognized by the nation, country, individual and society.
"Eight Honors and Eight Disgraces" made me clearly realize the moral standards and ideological integrity I should have. As a college student and a national youth, I solemnly promise that I will always adhere to the socialist concept of honor and disgrace, know the shame of honor and glory, work hard, and persist in my beliefs and pursuits. I also want to appeal to all my peers to inherit the traditional virtues of the nation, establish the concept of honor and disgrace of "eight honors and eight disgraces", and be worthy of their conscience and their country in their later lives.
