"The foundation of the world is in the country, and the foundation of the country is at home", paying attention to the construction of family style is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation and the fine tradition of the party. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued a series of important expositions around the construction of home style, profoundly expounding the great significance, goals, tasks and practical requirements of home style construction, and providing fundamental compliance for the construction of home style in the new era. We must conscientiously study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition, regard the construction of family style as an important part of the construction of work style, guide and promote leading cadres to attach great importance to the construction of family style, strive to bring good traditions into a new journey, and carry forward good work styles in the new era.

Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, although historic achievements have been made in improving the party's work style and building a clean and honest government and in the anti-corruption struggle, the situation is still grim and complicated. Judging from the cases investigated and handled in recent years, the "intertwining of their own corruption and corruption within the government" of leading cadres is an important manifestation of the grim and complicated situation in the anti-corruption struggle. The reasons for the problems of leading cadres are very complicated, but many of them are related to their relatives and people around them, and are related to their improper family style and lax tutoring.
Corrupt family customs have become a breeding ground for corruption. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the corruption of family style is often an important reason for leading cadres to seriously violate discipline and law", which profoundly reveals the important relationship between the construction of family style and the construction of clean government. Some cadres have corrupted their spouses and children because of their official misconduct, some have misdeeded their spouses and children and eventually "pulled the cadres into the water," and even more have formed a corrupt circle with corrupt officials as the axis to engage in family-style corruption. "Father and son soldiers", "husband and wife files", "brother gangs" and even "family mobilization" have vividly embodied "nepotism corruption" and "corruption within the government".
Lax parenting fosters privileged thinking and privileged phenomena. Leading cadres do not have any privileges other than the work functions and powers stipulated by laws, regulations, rules and regulations, and even less do the family members and children of leading cadres. However, some people feel that their relatives are leading cadres, and the erroneous perception of "someone in the family" makes them feel superior to others, evade the legal obligations that should be fulfilled, seek additional rights that should not be enjoyed, and turn the authority of their relatives into their own privileges. The privileged thinking and behavior of family members and children are directly related to the acquiescence and indulgence of leading cadres. Some are based on the mentality of compensation to "protect the calves", and some take the initiative to "open the back door" for their families and children, and vigorously engage in the corrupt way of "sealing the wife and shadow" and "one person gets the tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven" in feudal society.
Family style is not undermining social fairness and justice. The family members of leading cadres who run businesses and enterprises in violation of the law have seriously disrupted the economic order and business environment and undermined social fairness and justice, and the masses of the people deeply hate this. Some leading cadres have turned public power into a "private instrument" for making profits for their relatives, supported the connivance of their families to run businesses in violation of the law, and created momentum for family enterprises through various means in the market economic competition. Some relatives have "relied on the mountains to eat the mountains" and set up affiliated companies to greatly damage public wealth and private interests. Looking at the work style through the family style, these phenomena all reflect the importance and urgency of the construction of the family style of leading cadres.
Family style is a concentrated embodiment of handling public-private contradictions. "The family is the smallest country, and the country is ten million." The state is public, and the family is private. Leading cadres hold the public power of the country and are often faced with the test of whether they are for the country or for the family, for the public or for the private. Ancient Chinese Confucianism advocates the feeling of family and country, and its core connotation is to fulfill filial piety at home and be loyal to the country, and the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety requires scholars and masters to abstain from self-denial, first public and then private, public and forget selfish. General Secretary Xi Jinping also profoundly pointed out: "On the issue of work style, it is the party spirit that plays a decisive role, and the fundamental yardstick for measuring party spirit is the word public and private." It is precisely because of the unhealthy family style that some leading cadres have degenerated from "public servants" serving the people into "domestic slaves" who seek personal gain. Whether or not we can correctly handle the contradictions between public and private affairs epitomizes the quality of the family style of leading cadres.
The family style is a direct window for observing the relationship between the love and the law. "Man is the sum of social relations." Individuals' words and deeds are protected and restricted by the law, but also supported and bound by emotions. Caring for relatives and children is a common human feeling, but overstepping one's authority is not permitted by law. Many leading cadres who embark on the road of violating discipline and law are "trapped by love" and "breaking the law because of love," and are mixed with distorted family affection of money, fame, and fortune, resulting in their families becoming "power and money exchanges." Some people with ulterior motives hunt down leading cadres through the "lady route," and it is precisely because they have taken a fancy to the important role of the "pillow wind" and "emotional cards." General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasized that leading cadres must "pass the family relationship", that is, leading cadres must clearly distinguish the boundaries between family affection and discipline law, and consciously take the provisions of discipline law as the criterion of behavior.
Family style is an important basis for judging the conflict between righteousness and profit. Chinese has always attached great importance to the concept of righteousness and profit, believing that "a gentleman is a righteous person, and a villain is a profit." The core values of socialism are the "righteousness" of contemporary Chinese, and the "righteousness" of leading cadres is the fundamental purpose of the party with higher requirements. It originates from the party's original mission and embodies the party's advanced nature and purity. Whether leading cadres allow their families to collect money and amass wealth behind the scenes, whether their children use their parents' influence to engage in business and seek profits, or whether they integrate personal ideals and family happiness into the great cause of the country's prosperity and national rejuvenation, they are all deeply influenced by the concept of righteousness and profit. General Secretary Xi Jinping asked leading cadres to adhere to the principle of party spirit, educate and guide their relatives and children to "do not do unjust deeds, do not seek ill-gotten gains", which is highly targeted.
The Marxist concept of the family is the theoretical basis for the construction of family style in the new era. In his works and letters such as the Communist Manifesto and The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, Marx and Engels revealed the essence of the family from the two kinds of production that determined social development, scientifically analyzed the evolution process and basic laws of the family from the blood family to the monogamous family, profoundly exposed and criticized the problems of marriage and family under the capitalist system, and looked forward to the future form of the family from the perspective of development. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a systematic exposition on the construction of family tutoring and family style, pointing out that "no matter how the times change, the social function of the family is irreplaceable", emphasizing that "parents are the first teachers of children", and requiring the formation of a new trend of socialist family civilization. General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition is the enrichment and development of the Marxist family concept and provides theoretical guidance for cultivating excellent family style in the new era.
Excellent traditional culture provides rich nourishment for the construction of family style in the new era. Chinese has always attached importance to the inheritance of family style, from Zhou Gong's "Book of Commandments and Birds" to Confucius's "Lessons from the Court", from Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments" to "Zeng Guofan Family Book", excellent traditional family rules and family training carry the genetic code of Chinese civilization, and the family style culture that highlights the ideological wisdom of the Chinese nation is a distinctive symbol of Chinese civilization. The people of Bashu are brilliant and the family culture has a long history. Meishan Su clan pays attention to reading and learning, and enjoys the reputation of "two generations of three literary heroes". The New Capital Yang Family emphasizes the "four-fold", "four-legged" and "heavy righteousness and light profit", leading the future generations to prosper for a hundred years. Zhang Pengfei compiled the "Family Rules and Regulations", requiring future generations to "not bribe officials or insult their ancestors" and to "discipline themselves and be honest." The good family style of the ancestors of Shudi has deeply affected future generations to this day, and it is also a precious spiritual wealth in the new era to promote the governance of Shu Xingchuan to a new level.
Red family style is the political gene of family style construction in the new era. Our party is not only an active leader and practitioner of advanced culture, but also a faithful inheritor and promoter of excellent traditional culture. The red family style shaped and formed by the revolutionaries of the older generation in the environment of arduous struggle not only draws on the wisdom crystallization of the excellent traditional family style culture, but also concentrates on the revolutionary belief, value orientation and political style of the proletariat. Chairman Mao set the "Three Principles" of family affection for himself, demanded that his children establish the ideology of the common people, and Premier Zhou established the "Ten Family Rules" and taught the younger generations to put the interests of the state and the people first in everything, thus setting an example for the whole party and society in establishing a fine family style. Sichuan is the hometown of the general Shuai and the red fertile land, the Haoran family style of Deng Xiaoping, Zhu De, Chen Yi and other revolutionaries of the older generation embodies the realm and shows the style, and the brilliant family letters of Revolutionary martyrs such as Liu Bojian, Zhao Yiman, and Jiang Zhujun interpret faith and give people strength. The red family style is the spiritual bloodline of communists and has set an example for leading cadres to cultivate a good family style in the new era.
Strict home education by leading cadres is an important prerequisite for cultivating a fine family style. The formation of a good family style often relies on the authoritative core members of the family to carry out long-term ideological teaching and effective behavioral restraint on other members. Leading cadres are usually in a leading position in family relations, and they must conscientiously study General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on paying attention to the construction of family style, inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese family style and red family style, strengthen the education and restraint of relatives, be honest and self-cultivation, strictly govern the family, pass on the innocence of the family, and set an example in the construction of the writer's style. In recent years, the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has dug deep into the cultural resources of family style, compiled a series of books entitled "Tianfu Family Training," supported and guided all localities in building demonstration sites for family style culture, built the Tianfu Family Style Hall, filmed warning films on the theme of family style, made the construction of family style an important part of pre-appointment talks, lectures on discipline and law, and lessons on honest political parties, and educated and guided leading cadres at all levels to consciously take the lead in grasping the construction of family style.
Organizational supervision and promotion is an important guarantee for cultivating excellent family style. Strict family education and upright family style of leading cadres are not only moral norms, but also requirements of discipline and law. Inner-Party regulations and state laws and regulations, such as the "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation" and the "Guidelines for Honesty and Self-Discipline of the Communist Party of China," all have clear provisions on strengthening the building of family style and paying attention to family virtues. In recent years, the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has strictly enforced discipline and law enforcement, seriously investigated and dealt with typical cases of family style irregularities, such as guo junguo yong brothers, Li Junhe Xuemei and his wife, and used resolute and effective discipline and law to deter and educate leading cadres to pay attention to the building of family style. At the same time, we will regard the construction of family style as an important focus of promoting the "three noes" as a whole, actively explore and carry out honest home visits, standardize the behavior of leading cadres' relatives in doing business and running enterprises, strictly implement the recusal from holding office and avoiding official duties, earnestly strengthen the institutional constraints on the construction of leading cadres' family style, and continuously build a strong family defense line against corruption and honesty.
The joint efforts of the whole society are an important driving force for cultivating a good family style. Family behavior is the unity of family personality and social commonality, and to cultivate excellent family style, we must link the construction of family style and the governance of social style to see and grasp it as a whole. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that family style is an important part of social atmosphere. If the family style is good, the folk style and social style will be good; if the people's style is not pure and the social style is not correct, the family style will also be impregnated. In recent years, the Sichuan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision has taken the construction of family style as an important starting point for the construction of clean and honest government, and jointly publicized, the Women's Federation and other departments (units) to continue to promote the series of work of "passing on the good style to the family", extensively carried out activities such as the publicity of family style stories, the selection of the most beautiful family, and the creation of clean families, and actively created a strong social atmosphere of respecting the family with virtue, honesty and honesty, and thrifty family management, so that the clean and honest social style can create a good environment for the construction of family style. In view of the bad habits of marriage and marriage in some places, such as thin and thick burials, we have carried out in-depth special research and investigation, integrated the construction of leading cadres' family style into the comprehensive management of changing customs and customs, and promoted the mutual promotion and common improvement of good family style, civilized village style, and simple folk style.
