Essence of this article

 
We should not only listen to the pleasing words of the masses, but also listen to the adverse words of the masses; we should not only let the masses reflect the situation, but also ask the masses to put forward their opinions. In particular, we should take the initiative to investigate and hold on to the problems that the masses are most looking forward to, the most urgent, the most worried, and the most resentful. Only in this way can we hear the truth, observe the truth, gain true knowledge and receive practical results.

●The key to investigation and research depends on actual results. It is necessary to conduct in-depth and detailed research on the basis of investigation, conduct some exchange, comparison, and repeated work, systematize scattered understandings, and deepen superficial understandings until the essence of things is found. Law, find the correct way to solve the problem.

Correct decision-making is inseparable from investigation and research, and correct implementation is also inseparable from investigation and research. Therefore, at the First Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed that "the style of investigation and research should be promoted throughout the party". Conscientiously studying General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thoughts on the importance, basic requirements, methods and methods of investigation and research is of great and far-reaching significance for winning the great victory of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

 
Strengthening investigation and research is a new requirement for socialism with Chinese characteristics to enter a new era

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "investigation and research is the foundation and the way to get things done". Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and we are faced with new situations and new tasks. Strengthening investigation and research is the prerequisite and basis for our party to respond to domestic and foreign challenges and risks, and to make scientific decisions. It is determined by the nature, purpose, tasks and people-centered development thinking of our party, and is determined by our party's ideological line and work line.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "To study, think, and determine the ideas and major measures for comprehensively deepening reforms, it is not possible to carve a boat and seek a sword, it is not possible to work behind closed doors, and it is even more impossible to be whimsical. Comprehensive and in-depth investigation and research must be conducted." In the new era, we need to make more arduous efforts to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, accelerate socialist modernization and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. In particular, in terms of time, there are only two years to win a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way; from the perspective of requirements, in order to be recognized by the people and stand the test of history, we must be solid and not mixed with any water; from the perspective of tasks, there are still many difficulties in grasping the key points to make up for the weak points, especially to fight the "three major battles. To study, think, and determine the ideas and major measures of work, we must conduct comprehensive and in-depth investigation and research in order to make scientific decisions that conform to the objective reality and the wishes of the people, and promote the smooth development of various tasks.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Investigation and research is a process of connecting with the masses and working for the people. By going deep into the grassroots, into reality, and into the masses, we can understand what the masses are thinking, looking forward to, and what our Party committee and government need most." To seek happiness for the people is the original intention of the Chinese Communists. Only when the broad masses of party members and cadres continue to conduct in-depth investigations and studies, always pay attention to what the masses are thinking and looking forward to, and directly understand the wishes of the grassroots cadres and the masses through face-to-face exchanges, can our various decisions and work deployments concentrate the wisdom of the people, reflect public opinion, and reflect The people's sentiments reflect the wishes and demands of the people, and win the support and support of the people.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that investigation and research "is a process of understanding the situation" and "a process of promoting work". "The process of investigation and research is the process of scientific decision-making, which must not be omitted or sloppy." Contemporary Chinese society is in the stage of structural adjustment, power transfer, interest game, ideological differentiation, transformation and upgrading, and the decisive victory of a well-off society. All kinds of contradictions are intertwined and complicated. Only through in-depth practical investigation and research, we can systematize and organize a large number of fragmentary materials through thinking, analysis and synthesis from the surface to the inside, and grasp the essence of things through numerous and complicated phenomena, only by finding out its internal laws and rising from perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge can we fundamentally ensure the correct formulation and implementation of the party's line, principles, policies and various decisions.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "When the secretary of the county party committee must travel to all villages, when the secretary of the municipal party committee must travel to all towns, and when the secretary of the provincial party committee must travel to all counties and cities." On the journey of the new era, leading cadres at all levels must adapt to the new requirements of the development of the new era, conduct in-depth investigations and studies, and strive to answer and solve major issues that are overall and strategic to my country's development, and promote Chinese characteristics in the new era. The healthy development of the cause of socialism.

 
Carry out investigation and research in accordance with the requirements of the "four tight" to promote great historical changes.

 
"The problem is the voice of the times". To do a good job in the investigation and research work in the new era, we must enhance the awareness of problems, identify problems and have a definite object in view. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "investigation and research should closely follow the production and life of the people, the reality of economic and social development, the practical problems faced by comprehensively and strictly administering the party, and the problems that need to be solved in implementing the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress."
 

"The people are the biggest politics". Investigation and research must be carried out closely with the implementation of the people-centered development thinking, and continuously improve and improve people's livelihood. It is necessary to grasp the most direct and practical interests of the people, and through in-depth and meticulous investigation and research, to seek the interests of the people's livelihood and solve the worries of the people's livelihood. in terms of education, education, income from work, medical care, security for the elderly, housing and support for the weak, in promoting social fairness and justice, promoting the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all the people, continuously put forward new ideas, new methods and new measures.

At present, China's productivity level has improved significantly on the whole, but some outstanding problems of unbalanced and inadequate development have not been solved, the quality and efficiency of development are not high, the ability of innovation is not strong enough, and the ecological environment protection has a long way to go; the gap between urban and rural regional development and income distribution is still large; the level of social civilization needs to be improved; the national governance system and governance capacity need to be strengthened; the struggle in the ideological field is still complex, National security is facing new situation. Moreover, many problems are intertwined and affect the whole body. Only through investigation and research can we find out the actual situation and contradictions of economic and social development, distinguish the priorities, and deploy the order; find the "dangerous shoals" related to the overall situation, and formulate corresponding countermeasures, so that all work can be promoted meticulously and pragmatically.

The "four major tests" facing the party are long-term and complex, and the "four major dangers" facing the party are severe. Especially among some party members and cadres, including senior cadres, their ideals and beliefs are not firm, their discipline is lax, they are divorced from the masses, they are arbitrary, they practice fraud, and they are lazy and inaction to varying degrees. The problem of "four winds" is still prominent, and the phenomenon of abuse of power, buying and selling officials, corruption and bribery, corruption and degeneration still exists. We must adhere to the problem orientation, find out the outstanding problems existing in the party's politics, ideology, organization, work style and discipline construction through investigation and research, and prescribe the right medicine to the case, so as to promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party to in-depth development.

At the new starting point, the contradictions and problems we face, the stage of development and the tasks of development have undergone profound changes. We must closely follow the new ideas, new strategies, new goals, and new requirements put forward by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to carry out investigations and studies to figure out what overall and historical changes will be brought about by changes in major social contradictions; figure out what new requirements the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way and starting a new journey of building a modern socialist country puts forward for the work of the party and the state; to find out what new ideas, new methods, new measures and other major theoretical and practical issues are needed to promote the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and the new great project of Party building, so as to enhance the principle, systematicness, foresight and creativity of the work, and implement the objectives and tasks put forward by the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Only by carrying out investigation and research in accordance with the requirements of the "four closely linked" can we better implement the major policies, development strategies, policies and measures set by the 19th CPC National Congress, and constantly promote new historical changes. unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to strive to write a new chapter in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and building a modern and powerful socialist country.

 
　　Investigation and research should be "deep, solid, detailed, accurate and effective"

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "investigation and research is the basic skill for us to do a good job." Investigation and research is the investigation, understanding, analysis and research of the objective actual situation. The purpose is to investigate the truth and the whole picture of the matter clearly, grasp the essence and law of the problem accurately, and thoroughly study the ideas and countermeasures to solve the problem. Therefore, it is not only necessary to closely integrate with the central work and decision-making needs, but also to master the correct methods and principles to continuously improve the effectiveness and level of investigation and research. General Secretary Xi Jinping once published an article "Research Work for" Deep, Practical, Detailed, Accurate, and Effective "in the" Zhijiang Xinyu "column of" Zhejiang Daily ", which not only expounded the significance of investigation and research, but also put forward the" five-character formula "for doing a good job in investigation and research, that is," deep, solid, detailed, accurate, and effective ".

Investigation and research should be "three in-depth". To conduct investigations and studies, we must "go deep into reality, go deep into the masses, and go deep into the grassroots", and be good at making friends with workers, farmers, intellectuals, and people from all walks of life; we must put down the shelf, throw ourselves down, go deep into the fields and factories and workshops, and have more discussions with the masses. Communicate with cadres, listen to their voices, appreciate their emotions, feel their sufferings, summarize their experience, and absorb their wisdom. We should not only listen to the pleasing words of the masses, but also listen to the adverse words of the masses; we should not only let the masses reflect the situation, but also ask the masses to put forward their opinions. In particular, we should take the initiative to investigate and hold on to the problems that the masses are most looking forward to, the most urgent, the most worried, and the most resentful. Only in this way can we hear the truth, observe the truth, gain true knowledge and receive practical results.

Investigation and research should focus on the "three more". To conduct investigation and research, we must investigate and understand the situation in a "multi-level, multi-directional and multi-channel" way. It is necessary to investigate both the organs and the grass-roots level; it is necessary to investigate both the cadres and the masses; it is necessary to dissect the typical examples and understand the overall situation; it is necessary to sum up experience in places where the work situation is good and advanced, and to study problems where there are more difficulties, complex situations and sharp contradictions; it is necessary to give full play to the role of leading organs and leading cadres, but also to mobilize the active participation of all sectors of society, make full use of modern information means. Only by combining up and down, internal and external, and taking into account the point and surface, can we understand the situation accurately, comprehensively and deeply, and find new perspectives, new ideas and new countermeasures to solve the problem.

Investigation and research require truth and pragmatism. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Investigation and research must proceed from objective reality, and must not go on with a predetermined tone, but must insist that the conclusion is produced after investigation and research and based on scientific demonstration." "No research, no decision, first research and then decision." In the process of investigation and research, there can be not only "prescribed routes", but also "optional actions". For the real situation and various problems learned from the investigation, we should insist that one is one and two are two. We should report both good news and worries, not only books, not only top, but only reality. We should also deal with the relationship between investigation and research. The key to investigation and research depends on actual results. It is necessary to conduct in-depth and detailed research on the basis of investigation, conduct some exchange, comparison, and repeated work, systematize scattered understandings, and deepen superficial understandings until the essential laws of things are found., Find the correct way to solve the problem.

Investigation and research methods should keep pace with the times. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, "Our party has rich experience in investigation and research, and has formed many effective investigation and research methods in long-term practice, such as holding investigation meetings, seminars, visiting surveys, site surveys, typical surveys, and on-the-spot investigations. We must inherit and improve it in the new era." It is necessary to adapt to the new situation and new situation, especially the characteristics of today's social information network, further expand research channels, enrich research methods, innovate research methods, learn, master and apply modern scientific and technological research methods, such as questionnaire survey, statistical survey, sampling survey, expert survey, network survey, etc., according to the different research tasks and requirements, adopt different research methods, boldly innovate and adopt a multi-pronged approach, improve the efficiency and scientific nature of research work.

Investigation and research should be institutionalized and regularized. In terms of upholding and strengthening investigation and research, our party has successively formulated a series of effective systems. It is necessary to continuously improve and improve in practice and implement them well, so that investigation and research can truly become a conscious and regular activity of leading cadres at all levels. The first is to adhere to and improve the important decision-making research and demonstration system of "research before decision-making. The second is to adhere to and improve the research work system of leading organs and leading cadres. Third, adhere to and improve the system of contact points for leading cadres. The main leading cadres of the party and government should set an example and take the lead. It is not only necessary to "enter" the grassroots, but also to "heart" the grassroots to help the masses solve contradictions and problems in production and life.

Only by deeply studying and practicing General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thoughts on investigation and research, and continuously strengthening and improving investigation and research work, can we enhance the ability and level of scientific decision-making of the whole party and win new victories for socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
