The task of building a national civilized city is arduous, which requires the concerted efforts of all citizens in Qi Xin. I hope that the general public will earnestly enhance their sense of ownership, care for, support and actively participate in the work of creating a national civilized city: First, honor their parents, love their children, care for their partners and promote family harmony. Second, hard work, selfless dedication, initiative, pioneering and innovative, honest and trustworthy, civilized service, and strive to be excellent employees. Third, we should conscientiously implement the "Twenty Horizons" citizens' basic moral standards of "patriotism and law-abiding, courtesy and honesty, unity and friendliness, diligence and self-improvement, dedication and dedication", strive to practice "eight honors and eight disgraces", observe public order and traffic rules, and strive to be civilized citizens.
It is the common aspiration of the general public to create a national civilized city and beautify the living environment. Let's start from now on, from the small things around us, from our posts, strive to improve our own civilized quality, and make our due contribution to the creation of a national civilized city and the leap-forward development of Zhengzhou, the provincial capital, with practical actions!
Its importance is investment, civilization, happiness, environment, education, economy, sustainable development, city appearance, popularity, reputation, and so on! Is the highest honor of China city!
Zhengzhou insists on the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development, and regards the creation of a national civilized city as the leading project of spiritual civilization construction, realizing one theme and one breakthrough every year, and promoting the healthy development of the creation work.
How to build a civilized city
Civilization refers to the state that human society has developed to a higher stage and has a higher culture, so a civilized city should have a higher economic level and a thicker cultural level at the same time, not just as an image project or a face project.
What is the economic level? Look at industry-the appreciation of social material wealth only occurs in the production stage, and its value is determined after the product is formed. The tertiary industry mainly realizes the fluctuation of price around value. The predecessors have a very vivid summary: "No business, no life, no work, no wealth". Therefore, a civilized city must have a fairly developed industry.
At the same time, an industrially developed city will inevitably have a low unemployment rate. Only when the unemployment rate is low can the living standards of urban people be improved harmoniously (the living standards of polarized cities are not low either, but they are certainly not harmonious). There is a view in The Wealth of the People that officials force the people to be rich, pointing out that the improvement of people's living standards depends not on lowering prices, but on increasing people's income.
What about the level of education? Look at education again-where education is developed, people's appreciation level and cultural literacy will naturally improve. Developed education not only means cultivating elites, but also means popularizing basic education to all people, so that people can distinguish right from wrong, know etiquette and understand reason. There is a view among American economists that the inequality between the rich and the poor in a society is not terrible. The key is to popularize education, so that the children of the poor can receive a good education, so that their next generation can have a fair starting point when they grow up and have the opportunity to change their living conditions and become a higher-income class, which can enhance social fairness and equality.
As an image project, urban construction should be carried out on the basis of economy to improve the living environment of urban residents. For example, a certain degree of "urban lighting project" can make the city night scene more beautiful, but excessive lighting is not only a great waste of power resources, but also causes light pollution to affect the rest of the citizens; Widening the road is beneficial to relieve the traffic pressure, but the temperature of the spacious road without shade rises rapidly in the sun, which makes pedestrians uncomfortable and easily causes auto-ignition. A long-term mechanism should also be established to build roads. It is not possible to dig up the road surface and install a pipeline in a few days, or to build roads only by replacing cement roads with asphalt roads. Street park can improve the quality of the city, but a large area of turf not only wastes water, but also is not conducive to air improvement and temperature regulation. Only a variety of trees can play a substantial role, but planting trees should not only look at the quantity, but also the survival rate. The pavement should be paved with recyclable and environmentally friendly materials as far as possible. Granite is beautiful, but its cost performance is not high. Save as much as possible where you can, and put the money saved into the development of the first two items, so as to truly build a civilized city.
Improving the quality of citizens and building a civilized city
There was once a legend that Emperor Qianlong passed by a county town in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor was very dissatisfied with the dirty environment and poor citizen quality. When he left, he left a "royal gift": "Go to a bad place, bitch, unruly people." At that time, after this evaluation spread, it really made people in this county lose face. Although this matter has not been verified, it shows that a person's quality is also a symbol of a city's image. Citizens are the main body of the city and the practitioners, creators and protectors of urban civilization. The quality of citizens plays a decisive role in the degree of urban civilization, and also reflects the vitality of a city. We usually say what Beijingers are like and what Shanghainese are like. Come to think of it, these impressions are all citizens from these cities. Therefore, every citizen is the basic element of a city. To build a "civilized city", we must first cultivate "civilized people". With the development of society and the change of cultural structure, the quality of Chinese citizens has been greatly improved, but there are still many unsatisfactory places. Today, with the establishment of a civilized city in China, the quality of citizens has become a hot spot and focus of social concern, and the response from all walks of life is strong.
First, the meaning of citizen quality
The content of citizen's quality is very rich. We generally talk about quality, which mainly includes physical quality, psychological quality, humanistic quality and spiritual quality. What we are talking about today is not physical quality and psychological quality, but mainly humanistic quality. The content of humanistic quality is also very rich, but the most fundamental thing is whether he can really know himself and have self-knowledge, and at the same time use his consciousness to dominate and dominate his behavior, that is, know himself and dominate himself, and at the same time understand and respect others on the basis of knowing himself. There are more and more tall buildings in our city, and the streets are becoming more and more spacious and tidy. Citizen Square and Canal Scenic Belt will be built one after another, and Surabaya has a long history. But people are the soul of the city, and the quality of citizens is the core of shaping the image of urban civilization. Just now we discussed the meaning of civic quality from an academic point of view. From the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, many heroic models from ancient times to modern times, such as Yue Fei and Huang Jiguang, and from some proverbs and old sayings, such as "wealth can't be lewd, power can't be bent, and poverty can't be moved", we can appreciate the quality charm that once inspired us to move forward. With the changes of the times, traditional virtues mainly include "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith", which is what the ancients called the five permanent members. If a person has these five qualities, he can become a real person. What is the so-called benevolence? They are two benevolent people! Two people form a word of benevolence. The core of this benevolence is loving each other. Righteousness is what a man should do. There are rules, and they are determined by reason, that is, being a man and doing things must conform to certain reasons. Politeness is a person's code of conduct. As a person, there should be a code of conduct, which is how to do it. The essence of etiquette is benevolence and righteousness, which should be implemented in the process of human behavior. Benevolence and righteousness should also be implemented in certain etiquette. Wisdom is human's intellectuality, and intellectuality allows us to distinguish right from wrong and control our desires. If you can't tell right from wrong, you can't control your desires. Finally, the letter, that is, we are talking about a lot of honesty now. Faith means that when a person speaks, he says he will do it. Confucius has repeatedly believed that a person can't stand on his feet without faith, and faith is the foundation of a person's existence. The above five aspects are the basic qualities recognized by people inherited from Confucianism. I think they still play a very important role in improving people's quality and building a harmonious society today. In addition, the family virtue, social morality and professional ethics we advocate today are also based on people's basic cultivation. Today, to improve the basic quality of citizens, we might as well integrate these five basic qualities into the components of our time.
Second, the quality of citizens and the relationship between civilized cities
The civilization of a city should include environmental civilization, material civilization, institutional civilization and behavioral civilization, as well as people's ideas and ideological civilization. If a city wants to be civilized, material construction is the most basic. Without economic development and material increase, many other things are out of the question. Citizen's moral level is an important yardstick to measure the level of urbanization. While the hard environment is constantly improving, it is very necessary to improve the quality of citizens. If this thing is done well, it can promote economic development and enhance the competitiveness of the city. The essence of "everyone is an investment environment" we often say is to improve the quality of citizens, improve the humanistic environment, and make the social moral level and the development of market economy rise simultaneously.
Improving citizens' quality is an effective way to promote urban development. The basic point of modernization is people's modernization, and people's quality is the first. The development of a city cannot be separated from the improvement of citizens' quality. Therefore, while speeding up the construction of urban infrastructure, we must put the improvement of citizens' comprehensive quality in a more prominent position, so that the general public's awareness of civilization, legal concept, public morality and modern living environment can be obviously enhanced, and the urban construction, management level and citizens' quality can be simultaneously improved.
People under the sun are the most fundamental. The civilization level of a city should be improved. If people's quality is not improved, then the construction of urban civilization is empty talk. Therefore, if a city has only many cultural facilities and many cultural products, but the people in the city are of poor quality and impolite, then the city is not a civilized city. On the contrary, if there are not many cultural facilities in a city, but people in this city are polite, gentle and behave appropriately, this city is a truly civilized city, which is the most fundamental criterion for evaluating a city. Nowadays, the city spirit and citizen quality have become the core symbols of international metropolis. What kind of civic spirit and quality a city has determines how far it can go and whether it can become a charming city. Improving citizens' quality and cultivating urban spirit are the needs of urban development competition and the concrete practice of carrying forward national spirit.
Creating a civilized city is our important task and our glorious goal. It should be said that this is a strategic measure for us to implement Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development, promote the coordinated development of the three civilizations and improve the level of Siyang civilization. Building a civilized city must adhere to the people-oriented principle. People are the soul of a city, and citizens are the subject of our city. How the quality of citizens determines the degree of civilization of our city. When we talk about whether a city is civilized, we should not only look at whether a city has high-rise buildings and bustling streets, but also look at the degree of civilization of the city, the cultivation, pursuit and civilized quality of the citizens. Therefore, improving the quality of citizens has always been an important content and fundamental goal for us to create a civilized city. If we leave the quality of people and citizens to build a civilized city, it can only be empty talk. So what is a high-quality or civilized citizen? Generally speaking, it is the four innovations put forward by Comrade Xiaoping, that is, people with ideals, education, morality and discipline. These four points have been achieved, that is, high-quality citizens. According to the goals and requirements of a civilized city, the quality of civilization is reflected in the following five aspects. First, we should have a high ideological and moral quality. Second, we must have the spirit of innovation and development, and we must have an open concept and modern consciousness. Third, we must have a strong sense of democracy and legal system and discipline. Fourthly, we must have a higher scientific and cultural level and an open knowledge structure to meet the needs of our modern urban development. Fifth, we should have a healthy physical and psychological quality, strong adaptability, adaptability and self-control. Therefore, the quality of civilization is comprehensive, and its humanistic quality mainly includes these specific contents. In the process of creating a civilized city, we should follow the requirements of these four aspects and strive to improve, educate and shape people. Only in this way can our goal of a civilized city be truly realized.
Third, the status quo of citizens' quality.
Speaking of the performance of citizen's quality, I will tell a true story that happened in Hangzhou. A pupil found a huge sum of 400,000 yuan and returned it to the owner. The reporter asked him in an interview: "After all, there is so much cash in it, and there are all kinds of passbooks. For you, you should be able to buy many things. Then you are not shaken at all? " The pupil replied, "Yes, I can buy a lot of things, so I may be very happy." But if I do this, it will bring a lot of trouble and pain to my master. I base my happiness on the pain of others, which is immoral. "
Coincidentally, on May 8th this year, Hangzhou Tourism Bureau received a thank-you letter from Taiwan Province Province, a treasure island. This letter was written by a tourist from Taiwan Province. He said that he accidentally lost a digital camera in a taxi while traveling in Hangzhou. His brother Qi not only returned the digital camera to them, but also resolutely refused any gifts from several compatriots in Taiwan Province Province. Citizen's quality is a business card of a city's image, which reflects a city's civilization and good image. In Hangzhou, an international tourist city, taxis are the first opportunity for many tourists to contact the city, and they are also a mobile window in Hangzhou. Now more and more Hangzhou people consciously polish this window. The behavior of ordinary citizens, brothers and others is like a mirror, reflecting the quality of Hangzhou citizens. We should learn from them. To improve the quality of citizens, we should start from each of us, from words and deeds. Only in this way can we improve our city image and build a truly civilized city. Give another example of Xu Hu doing good deeds. Xu Hu is an ordinary water and electricity repairman. In his ordinary post, he has long insisted on solving problems for residents. He would rather suffer more for the convenience of the masses. He fulfilled his promise with his actions: "I am hardworking and convenient for thousands of families." It is ordinary people like Xu Hu who moved us. They care about others and contribute to society in their ordinary posts, which fully embodies the excellent quality of our citizens. I think it is a good citizen like Xu Hu who has propped up the spiritual backbone of our city. Nowadays, the competition of a city is not only the competition of productivity and economic strength, but also the competition of cultural strength and spirit, the competition of a city's civilization and the quality of our citizens, because the quality of citizens is an important part of a city's comprehensive competitiveness and an increasingly important core part. Our Siyang county party committee and county government have always attached great importance to improving the quality of citizens. In recent years, we have held a lecture on civilized etiquette in Siyang, and carried out a series of activities such as entering the nursing home, protecting the Grand Canal, and contributing to the creation, which has played a positive role in guiding citizens to improve their own quality and develop good civilized habits. It is through this series of education, practice and other activities that the general public are constantly promoted to improve their own civilized quality and win glory for our city.
Of course, some uncivilized behaviors are often seen around us. The new Road Traffic Safety Law came into effect on May 1 last year, but illegal acts such as drivers not wearing seat belts, pressing solid white lines and double yellow lines, pedestrians running red lights, not taking crosswalks and crossing guardrails are still common. The Road Traffic Safety Law not only protects the life safety of citizens, but also embodies the quality of a person and the image of a city.
We often say that "the spirit is seen in the nuances". Details embody the spirit, details are grand, and details determine success or failure. Recently, a book called "Details Decide Success or Failure" is very popular, which means that some details in our lives are getting more and more attention. The same is true for a city. A city is composed of countless details, and so is the civilization of the city. Some things that we usually think are small often reflect some big problems. For example, throw the lunch box on the floor after eating, and throw the napkin on the floor after using it. These seem trivial, but they just reflect the taste of our city and the quality of its citizens. These details reflect the phenomenon of urban civilization. In fact, when we arrive in a city, we may judge the degree of civilization of the city through these details. We have a population of 960,000 in Siyang. If 960,000 people spit in the street every day and 960,000 people throw a piece of paper on the ground every day, what will our city look like? Therefore, every citizen should look at his words and deeds and these details from this perspective. Therefore, it is everyone's responsibility to start from oneself and make contributions to the civilization construction of our city, so we put forward a slogan: "Your words and deeds are the image of the city".
When we talk about the traditional virtues of China in ancient times, such as benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faithfulness, and when we talk about benevolence, Confucius particularly emphasizes "seeking benevolence and getting benevolence", which means that as long as you have the desire to seek benevolence, you will get it. Benevolence is not given by others, but pursued by ourselves, so our education should start from an early age. Recently, the central government has emphasized on strengthening the education of minors, which is very crucial, because moral construction and civilization construction should be started from an early age. We should make everyone fully realize that he is an independent person, he is responsible for his actions, and he should reflect on whether he should do something.
Fourth, how to further improve the quality of citizens and the level of urban civilization?
The quality of citizens is a topic that needs to be implemented, which is closely related to our life and our city. For example, every time I walk on a clean and wide street, I will sigh that most of our citizens are of high quality and will love this beautiful nation as much as their own small family. Everyone lives in the community, and the community is the cell of our city. In recent years, the role of community in urban construction, urban management and urban spiritual civilization construction has become more and more prominent, and the community should play a very important role in improving the quality of citizens. Through the guidance of our community, we will create a good civilized atmosphere and cultural atmosphere, such as opening reading rooms and holding symposiums, so that all community citizens can participate in the management of community affairs, care about their homes and raise their collective consciousness. Recently, in some communities, such as Meiyuan community in Siyang, the activities of bringing clean government culture into the community have been carried out. Through the publicity of the knowledge of clean government culture, citizens constantly enhance their awareness of clean government, and strengthen the supervision of party member cadres on the basis of improving their own quality, which is also an important aspect of improving citizens' quality.
As a party committee, how can the government strengthen the quality education of citizens and improve the level of urban civilization? This is a systematic project, which needs the joint efforts of the whole society. First of all, we should start from minors, start from ourselves, start from small things and make unremitting efforts. Strengthening education and learning is the foundation. The so-called learning to apply, learning to be able, learning to be clear, learning to be aware, learning to be strong, is to constantly enrich their knowledge, improve their scientific and cultural level, improve their judgment, and let themselves know what is right, what should not be done, what is glorious and what is shameful. Learning and education can be in various forms, such as radio, newspapers, television, blackboard newspapers, performances, etc. As long as it is loved by the general public. Second, we should publicize it widely and create a good atmosphere for everyone to strive to be a civilized citizen. Strong public opinion has a strong driving force, so does improving the quality of citizens. The atmosphere itself is also a kind of guidance. To create an atmosphere, on the one hand, we must be upright and promote righteousness. Through various channels, we should vigorously publicize the good people and deeds around us, publicize the advanced experience of building civilized cities in other places, set up advanced models, guide everyone to find gaps, catch up, and let everyone learn from their examples and catch up with their goals. On the other hand, exorcism means strongly criticizing and mercilessly exposing bad styles and guiding our whole social atmosphere to develop in a good direction. Third, standardize guidance and improve the legal system. The cultivation of civilized accomplishment and civilized behavior depends on education on the one hand and management on the other. To improve the quality of citizens, there must be laws to follow and sound laws and regulations, so as to constantly standardize people's daily life behavior and continuously improve people's legal awareness. We now emphasize the combination of the rule of law and the rule of virtue, and the combination of self-discipline and heteronomy, that is, through education, let everyone know what to do and what not to do, and declare war on those uncivilized and disobedient behaviors. Fourth, take the activity of creating a civilized city as the carrier, raise awareness in the activity and internalize it into action. The so-called deepening the creation activities is to expand the participation of the broad masses of the people and citizens as much as possible, so that everyone can receive education and improve their consciousness. Fifth, optimize the environment and give play to the educational role of the environment. People create the environment, and the environment affects people. The two are complementary. Some people say that I dare not spit when I walk on the red carpet; The road is so neat and clean that I feel embarrassed to lose a piece of paper. This is the influence of the environment on people. In addition, in our work, we must embody the people-oriented idea, closely combine improving citizens' quality with solving the practical difficulties of the masses and safeguarding their vital interests, and create a better working, living and entrepreneurial environment for all the people.
A city, like a person, should not only have the external image of tall buildings, spacious streets and perfect facilities, but also have the internal spiritual character of spirit, boldness of vision and spirit. A person needs a spirit as a pillar, and a city also needs a spirit to support it. The enterprising spirit of a city is a comprehensive embodiment of a city's cohesion, spiritual power and sustainable development vitality. Nowadays, the urban spirit has become the core symbol of an international metropolis. Cities need spirit, just as the earth needs sunshine. Life is made up of details. The important embodiment of urban spirit and its civic quality is reflected in the nuances and citizens' daily behaviors, and every detail has become the most intuitive and true reflection of civic quality and urban spirit. Therefore, shaping the spirit of the city, like the infiltration of silent drizzle, has to start from me and start from small things. For example, answer the phone politely, don't litter, don't talk loudly in public places, don't spit, don't cross the road and so on. Don't do it because of small goodness, and don't do it because of small evils. We can build a building in a short time, but it is absolutely impossible to cultivate and shape the spirit of the city overnight. This is a long-term and arduous task. There is no end to practice and the enrichment and sublimation of the urban spirit, but we firmly believe that the city will become more and more beautiful and our citizens will become more and more civilized. Only by living in harmony and enjoying ourselves in a comfortable environment can we further create a better future.
In a word, building a civilized city and improving the quality of citizens are the key. As long as we persist in propaganda, education and efforts, the quality of the public will continue to improve. When everyone cares about the city and everyone tries to be a civilized citizen, a good situation will be formed.
