Historical experience tells us that for national governance, the rule of law and the rule of virtue are like two wheels of a car and two wings of a bird, which cannot be neglected. In the construction of socialist rule of law, we must closely combine the power of law with the power of morality, the function of rule of law with the function of rule of virtue, and self-discipline with heteronomy, so that the rule of law and rule of virtue can work together and promote each other.
2. Adhering to the combination of ruling the country by law and ruling the country by virtue is the inherent requirement of upholding the rule of law in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
We should strengthen the construction of the rule of law, realize the institutionalization and legalization of democracy, take the rule of law as the basic strategy of the party leading the people to govern the country, take the rule of law as the basic way of the party to govern the country, actively promote the construction of socialist rule of law, make historic achievements, and embark on a road of rule of law in Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
3. Adhering to the combination of ruling the country by law and ruling the country by virtue is a realistic requirement for upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics at a new historical starting point.
We should more consciously adhere to the combination of ruling the country by law and ruling the country by virtue, build a solid moral foundation for ruling the country by law, and form a strong atmosphere of learning, respecting and abiding by the law for the whole people. Only in this way can we better promote the construction of China ruled by law and modernize the national governance system and governance capacity.

The concrete practice of governing the country by law and by virtue.
1. Improve the legal system in harmony with socialist morality. Any law contains moral judgment and embodies moral orientation. Only in line with the moral will of the broad masses of the people and social order and good customs can the law be believed and observed by people. At present, a socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics has been formed.
2. Integrate socialist core values into the process of law enforcement. Promoting the socialist rule of law requires not only "good law" but also "good governance"; Not only the formulation of laws should reflect the requirements of socialist moral norms, but also the implementation of laws should be guided by socialist core values.
3. Strengthen the moral construction of citizens and strengthen the moral foundation of the rule of law. People's recognition of law is very important to their recognition of moral value; Due to the improvement of ideological and moral consciousness, it is very important for people to abide by the law. In this sense, good civic morality is an important foundation and prerequisite for building a society ruled by law.
