The Construction of Work Discipline in the History of the Party

Work discipline is a rule of conduct that party organizations at all levels and all party members must abide by in the specific work of the party, and it is an important guarantee for the normal development of the party's work. For more than 100 years, our party has improved and improved the party's work discipline in accordance with changes in the situation and tasks, and has continuously deepened its understanding of the regularity of the party's work discipline construction in practice, and has accumulated rich experience and practices.

Strengthen the basic requirements for observing work discipline

strictly observing work discipline is a basic requirement for party members and cadres. At the beginning of the founding of the party, survival and development were the primary tasks facing the party, and confidentiality discipline was put forward as the basic work discipline. In the program adopted by the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it is clearly required that secrecy discipline be regarded as the basic work discipline that must be observed. Article 6 emphasizes that "when the party is in a state of secrecy, the party's important propositions and the identity of party members should be kept secret". In December 1927, Deng Xiaoping became the Secretary-General of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and held the addresses and locations of all the central leaders and secret agencies. Under the white terror, all work is "based on the principle of absolute secrecy", no mistakes can be made, and the requirements for work discipline are extremely strict ". At that time, the documents were to be secretly written with potions and transmitted through secret transportation to avoid enemy searches. During this period, it was especially emphasized that "the implementation of secret work should become the main part of the party's discipline". All "irresponsible legends about secrets within the party" and "non-compliance with meeting times" are not allowed by the party. "All actions that violate secret work should be severely disciplined without hesitation". During the Long March, a 12-member transportation team strictly abided by the work arrangements of the party organization, went through untold hardships, and used the burden to pick many important original files and documents in the early days of the founding of the party to northern Shaanxi, and preserved them in good condition, reflecting our party's extreme responsibility for work and strict observance of discipline.
Xibaipo is a place where rules are set. During the Xibaipo period, our party formulated more than 20 mature and operable work disciplines. In June 1947, when Mao Zedong drafted an instruction on secrecy for the CPC Central Committee, he stressed: "in the future, any document issued by the central secret telegraph shall be prohibited from being printed and distributed without the permission of the central government." "Private individuals are not allowed to record confidential party, government and military incidents and are not allowed to carry such notebooks." During this period, in order to overcome the problems in the work of the party and the army, our party also established and improved the system of requesting instructions and reporting to ensure the implementation of the major decisions of the Party Central Committee.
Since the reform and opening up, our party has continued to strengthen the party's work discipline construction, emphasizing that "the system is the decisive factor", focusing on the role of the system, and effectively improving the party members' sense of discipline and discipline concept, so that the work discipline construction forms a more stable rigid constraint. In the new era, our party pays more attention to the combination of governing the party according to the rules and the system, strengthens the construction of the party's laws and regulations, adheres to the problem orientation, and further promotes the implementation of the party's work discipline.
 

Pay attention to standardizing the power of party members and cadres to perform their duties

Strict work discipline is an important guarantee for standardizing the fair use of power by party organizations and party members and cadres, using power in accordance with the law, using power for the people, and using power in a clean and honest manner. A major resolution of the party stipulates: "No publication, whether central or local, shall publish articles that violate the party's principles, policies, and resolutions." This is both a political discipline and a basic job requirement. The Second Party Constitution emphasizes that lower-level organs must fully implement the orders of higher-level organs. In April 1930, in order to cope with the needs of the situation, the Soviet government of Haifeng County issued a working order and formulated a unified discipline for economic work. For example, it stipulated that the Soviets and Revolutionary Committees of all counties and districts should interfere with and control the finances, and the four county Revolutionary Committees should punish the heads of the Soviets and Revolutionary Committees. Financial committees at all levels should also be punished if they do not work hard to carry out their tasks. Wait. By regulating the behavior of Soviet government staff, fiscal revenue was increased, economic pressure was greatly eased, and the material foundation for the victory of the revolution was laid.
During the Xibaipo period, the Party Central Committee promptly formulated relevant work disciplines to correct the problems and deviations in the work of recovering and managing cities. On June 4, 1948, the "Disciplinary Code for the Approval and Transfer of Northeast Field Armies by the Military Commission" specifically stipulated the discipline of entering the city: protecting people's lives and property, factories, shops, schools, hospitals, scientific and cultural institutions, and urban public equipment, historical sites and buildings; The implementation of seizure and return to the public, put forward the "four noes", that is, no competition, no destruction, no free use, no ambush. After the liberation of Shanghai, Chen Yi pointed out that when we enter Shanghai, we must stress discipline and oppose the state of lack of discipline. "discipline in entering the city is the beginning of the policy of entering the city and a gift to the citizens". After his views were reported to the Central Military Commission, he soon received a telegram from Mao Zedong with only eight words: "very good, very good, very good, very good!"
Since the reform and opening up, the CPC Central Committee has formulated and promulgated a number of inner-party laws and regulations, detailing various situations of violating the party's work discipline, and clarifying the corresponding provisions on party discipline punishment, which provides an important follow-up for strengthening the party's work discipline construction under the condition of market economy. Since the new era, the Party Central Committee has emphasized the important role of the party's internal laws and regulations in the construction of the party's work discipline, standardized the use and operation of power, and further included ineffective performance and inaction into the accountability situation, and established the correct guidance with clear disciplinary norms., Continuously promote and standardize party members and cadres to perform their duties and take responsibility.
 

Attach importance to maintaining excellent work style

History and practice have repeatedly proved that a good work style is an important guarantee for the smooth development of all work. In the early days of the Great Revolution, as the ranks of party members grew stronger, undesirable phenomena such as unstable ideals and beliefs and bureaucracy appeared in the party. In view of these situations, in August 1926, the circular on resolutely purging corrupt elements "specially instructed party departments at all levels to promptly examine their subordinate comrades" and demanded that "immediate implementation and reporting the results to the Central Bureau is the most important thing." it shows the strong determination of the Communist Party of China in its infancy to oppose bureaucracy, attach importance to and strengthen the building of its work style. With the successive promulgation of various rules and regulations and the serious handling of a group of party members and cadres who violated discipline, the political ecology has been greatly purified and the purity and advanced nature of the cadre team have been ensured. On December 2, 1933, the Red China newspaper wrote a special article listing various manifestations of bureaucracy at that time, including: no work plan, no participation in meetings, no speech at meetings, no organizational work, no investigation and research, no reporting work, no handling of minimum documents, and even no memory of the names of the working objects contacted, etc. In response to these work style issues, the documents issued during the Central Soviet Area clearly pointed out: "Every revolutionary citizen has the right to expose the mistakes and shortcomings of the Soviet staff." The right to judge the work of cadres and their effectiveness is left to the people.
After the founding of New China, the Party Central Committee was prepared for danger in times of peace and attached great importance to the construction of the party's work discipline. In November 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Decision on the Establishment of the Central Committee and Party Disciplinary Inspection Committees at All Levels." Immediately, discipline inspection committees at all levels, from the central to local counties and above the army regiment level, were established one after another. Soon, it became a working department of Party committees at all levels in accordance with regulations. This provides an important starting point for supervising party members and cadres to perform their duties and correcting unhealthy practices such as bureaucracy within the party.
In the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has made great historic achievements in the construction of work style, consolidated the ruling foundation of the party, and created a new situation of strict management of the party.
The great practice of the party's work discipline construction for more than 100 years has accumulated valuable historical experience. We should always strengthen the awareness of work discipline, set up a firm bottom line thinking, and consciously tighten the string of work discipline. We should always highlight the problem orientation, pay attention to the construction of inner-party laws and regulations, constantly improve and improve the relevant inner-party laws and regulations, and give full play to the supervision and guarantee role of the inner-party laws and regulations. The party's work discipline is not isolated, but is closely connected with political discipline. It is necessary to adhere to work discipline and the party's political discipline, organizational discipline, mass discipline, integrity discipline, and life discipline, pay attention to system linkage, and coordinate the promotion of work discipline. Party discipline construction. It is necessary to maintain the intensity of punishment for those who violate discipline, not only highlight the role of the party's work discipline in standardizing, guiding, controlling and restraining, but also play the role of warning, warning, punishment and deterrence of discipline rigidity. Party discipline education is the basic means to strengthen the Party's work discipline construction. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "carry out in-depth discipline education, strengthen study, publicity and education, so that party members and cadres can enhance their sense of discipline, and engrave the party constitution, party rules and party discipline in their hearts". Looking back on the party's history, our party has effectively improved the discipline of Party members and provided a strong organizational guarantee for the smooth development of the party's work through the study and education of Party discipline.
