The so-called "introspection" is to discover and find out the bad tendencies, bad thoughts, problems and habits in your own thoughts and behaviors through introspection;

Self-denial is an important ideological basis for leading cadres to be honest and self-disciplined.
Confucius affirmed people's pursuit of wealth and emphasized not being greedy. His disciple Zhang Zi asked: How to do a good job in government affairs? Confucius' method is to practice five virtues and put an end to four evils, one of which is "desire without greed" and "being an official gives people the opportunity to do good without spending money. Now that you have it, what are you greedy for? " (The Analects of Confucius, Yao Yue): Why not work for the benefit of the people? Who will complain if you choose to work hard? How can you be greedy if you want benevolence and get benevolence? Confucianism says, "Self-denial is benevolence." Benevolence is to seek happiness and interests for others, and courtesy is the right way for people to follow. If you can't control yourself, you can do nothing. How can you restrain yourself? We should start from watching, listening, saying and doing, focus on our daily behavior, "see no evil, don't listen to evil, don't say evil, don't move evil", and always pay attention to our behavior, without any ambiguity, in order to achieve "lust can't work hard, lust can't confuse your heart".
The party and the state have given stable and generous material treatment to leading cadres, while some people pursue fame and fortune, covet comfort and even degenerate and corrupt. "Weak water three thousand, take a gourd ladle; Thousands of rooms in Guangsha, lying six feet at night; The fertile land is vast, and there are three meals in the eclipse. " "The disaster is greater than dissatisfaction, and the blame is greater than desire." Leading cadres should pay attention to maintain noble spiritual pursuit, cultivate healthy life interest, correctly choose personal hobbies, distinguish right from wrong, be self-denying, be honest, be quiet and far-reaching, never be trapped by desire, and always keep "money and bribery are not tempted, rewards and punishments are not fixed." Conduct regular reflection, declare war on yourself against such erroneous ideas as "not greedy and unwilling", nip bad motives in the bud, and make good thinking and behavior habits change from spontaneous to conscious, from appearance to heart, from passive to active, and from heteronomy to self-discipline.
