Data: Generally speaking, clean government is not only the concept of political management, but also the category of political ethics. Because the main body of the theme of clean government refers to both government workers and government departments, the former is an official product, and the latter is a party style and political style, because it requires special people related to the use of power. What is a clean government? There is a visual description in the traditional saying, that is, "healthy body, clean hands." The so-called righteousness refers to being loyal to one's duties, adhering to principles, acting impartially and not favoritism; The so-called breeze means not being greedy for wealth, not seeking personal gain, not taking bribes and bending the law, not abusing power for personal gain, and not taking advantage of the public. Because in ancient times, official uniforms can be loaded with fat sleeves, and when the sleeves are shaken, they often shake out money and bribes. Therefore, an honest official is exactly what Mencius said: "Poverty cannot be moved, power cannot be bent, and wealth cannot be lewd." This is the basic requirement and personality of an intellectual and an official.
But being honest and upright is not only a concept of political ethics, because whether an official is honest or not depends not only on the strictness of government rules and workplace requirements, but also on the clarity of a series of cultural ideas such as his ideals and beliefs, behavior rules, value standards, moral principles and significance of existence, and more importantly, on his loyalty to these cultural ideas and his consciousness of implementation. In this sense, clean government is also a kind of culture. Of course, there are many definitions of culture. According to the statement put forward by UNESCO and accepted by many scholars at present, culture is a way of life and thinking of human beings. This sentence can be explained by another common saying nowadays. Culture is people's specific "rules of the game". It is this "rules of the game" that created the order of Kou Zhun, Liu and Liu. In feudal society, people called good officials honest officials. In the official historical records of laws and regulations, good officials are generally not called honest officials, but called "honest officials", "good officials" and "honest officials". China is the first country in the world to establish bureaucracy. Since Sima Qian's Historical Records, there has been a typological evaluation of bureaucrats. What is the standard of a good official? Different periods have different emphases. Sima Qian's standards are: teaching and educating people, being honest and honest, and obeying the law. In the Warring States, Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty, which advocated legalist politics, obeying the law was the most important criterion for a good official. In the period of "respecting Confucianism alone", it is the standard to become a good official by enlightenment. However, it is difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of education. Since the year before the Three Kingdoms, according to Sima Yi's thought, honesty, prudence and diligence have become the official norms, and honest officials have gradually become synonymous with good officials, which has also created the qualification standards for social people.

Window of knowledge: the culture of clean government appears as the opposite of corrupt culture. This may sound ridiculous, but a careful study of today's social phenomena will reveal that there is indeed a kind of soil and air that breeds corruption. On the material, institutional and psychological levels, a bad culture that encourages corruption has been formed and bred to varying degrees. The negative influence of this culture has greatly distorted the social values in some people's minds.
