Research On Moral Governance In Contemporary Chinese Society

The Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Party passed the decision of Chinese Communist Party Central Committee on several major issues concerning deepening the reform of the cultural system and promoting the great development and prosperity of socialist culture,which introduced the concept of "governance" into the moral field for the first time,and proposed to carry out special education and Governance on prominent problems in the moral field.The Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China reiterated the major decision of "deeply carrying out special education and governance of prominent problems in the moral field".The report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC)put forward the strategic plan and requirements for modernizing China’s governance system and capacity and carrying out the project of building civic morality.The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee passed the decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity.The Decision repeatedly refers to "governance",in addition to clarifying the contents of"systematic governance","comprehensive governance" and "source governance",it also requires "scientific planning,careful organization,combination of far and near,and overall promotion" and "realizing the benign interaction between government governance and social regulation,and residents’ autonomy".In the same year,the State Council of the CPC Central Committee issued the outline for the implementation of citizens’ Moral Construction in the new era,further emphasizing the deepening of governance of prominent problems in the moral field.These not only show that "governance" has been closely integrated with China’s social development,but also mean that the theory and practice of promoting the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity have entered a new historical height.As an important part of national governance,social moral governance not only contains the basic values of the party and the government,but also is the necessary way to standardize social order,resolve the conflicts of social interests,safeguard the interests of economic subjects,regain social trust,enhance the cohesion of mainstream values,reduce the risk of national governance,and promote the modernization of national governance system and governance capacity The meaning of the word.This paper draws on the existing research results,starting from the understanding and analysis of the concepts of morality and Moral Governance,respectively discusses the Chinese and western traditional thoughts of morality,the nature of morality,the relationship between morality and ethics,belief and law,the connotation and elements of Moral Governance,and the dialectical relationship between Moral Governance and moral construction To analyze and grasp.By combing the relevant moral ideas of Marx’s classical writers,the historical practice of China’s Communists’moral construction and the important theoretical exposition of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important moral management in the new era,this paper will enrich the theoretical treasure house of China’s profound moral management thought,and construct the theoretical foundation of Contemporary Chinese social moral outstanding issues governance research,and further explore the deep-seated reasons for the outstanding problems of social morality.And then put forward ideas and measures to further strengthen social moral governance.Great progress has been made in the construction of social morality in China.The mainstream moral situation is upward and good.However,there are still many problems in the construction of social morality.At the cognitive level,some social members’ moral concepts are vague or even missing,leading to the loss of moral values,the weakening of moral functions,the trampling of moral bottom line,and the spread of moral indifference.On the behavior level,a few people are indifferent to social morality,and violate public rules and other uncivilized bad habits;lack of professional ethics,forgetting profits and seeking profits,benefiting others and benefiting oneself at the expense of the public and private interests have become a persistent disease;among family virtues,some people don’t respect the old enough and love the young,and their neighbors are becoming more and more unfamiliar;money worship,hedonism and extreme individualism are more prominent in personal morality However,some people are weak willed,their moral knowledge and practice are divorced,and the phenomenon that they do not pay attention to credit has been treated for a long time.At the level of education and practice cultivation,moral education and practice cultivation not only have problems in objectives,methods and contents,but also face the challenges of complex and changeable social environment.The existence of these problems urgently needs to be solved by Strengthening Moral Governance and comprehensive social governance.The prominent problems of social morality in contemporary China are the reflection of economic,institutional,social and cultural problems encountered in the process of economic system reform in the moral level.Their essence is social relations and the conflicts and conflicts of interests arising on this basis.From the economic level,the reform of market economy has a profound impact on the development of contemporary Chinese society.It has not only fundamentally changed China’s economic operation mode,but also made great changes in the pattern of social interests.It has also constantly impacted various fields of social life and reshaped the social moral system.Under the unique tradition,culture and economic background of contemporary China,the reform of market economy has led to the continuous strengthening of individual moral "economic impulse" and the gradual decline of"moral impulse".How to adjust the interest relationship,guide the values,reasonably and effectively regulate people’s social communication and economic behavior has become an important issue of contemporary Chinese social moral governance.From the institutional level,social development has increasingly emphasized the public and institutional attributes of society,and social life is increasingly dependent on the supply of institutional resources.The institutional factors that lead to the social moral problems are the absence of the system,the virtual system and the insufficient construction of the system ethics.In fact,the fundamental guarantee for the fairness and justice of interest distribution is the system,and it is also the system that makes the mainstream values play the most extensive and profound influence.The perfection of system construction and the publicity of system ethics are the inevitable requirements of the institutionalization,legalization and orderliness of Moral Governance.Only in the social development of "innovation,coordination,green,open and sharing",we should straighten out the existing complex and diverse social interest relations,build a scientific and reasonable benefit distribution mechanism,and form a way to obtain interests matching rights and obligations,so as to fundamentally reduce the generation of social moral problems.From the social level,the reform of market economy has promoted the change of social life style and communication mode.People’s communication radius has been expanding,private living space has been gradually compressed,and the degree of social life has been greatly improved.People’s life roles are more reflected in the role practice as social citizens rather than as individual self.In addition,the lack of public morality resources makes the standards of private morality abused in various fields of society,which eventually leads to the disorder,relativity and utilitarianism of moral standards.From the cultural level,globalization,networking and informatization have opened the era of cultural diversity.The impact of cultural diversity on moral construction,the impact of Western negative culture on moral construction,and the lag of cultural industry development behind the needs of the masses and the market will also lead to a series of social moral problems.The moral governance of contemporary Chinese society has huge institutional advantages,and the fundamental way to realize moral governance is to adhere to the leadership of the Party and continue to deepen the reform.It is necessary to coordinate with the construction of Chinese traditional economy and socialist market economy.On the basis of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s new concept of Moral Governance,we must adhere to the principles of Party committee leadership,government led and social participation,overall planning and key breakthroughs,rigid rules and flexible guidance,and the combination of good traditions and useful experiences.First of all,we should take the problem as the guidance,give priority to the problem of public morality anomie,focus on the problem of lack of integrity,and vigorously rectify the "two industries,one place" and other activities to carry out the phenomenon governance of moral problems;secondly,on the basis of profoundly grasping the root causes of moral problems,starting from the dimensions of economy,system,society,culture,etc.,and introducing the socialist core values At last,through moral education,practice cultivation,public opinion guidance,rigid norms and other means,we will continue to shape the society The moral quality of the members of the association,so as to enhance the effectiveness of Moral Governance.In a word,moral governance should give full play to the punishment of "evil" by institutional ethics and the incentive effect of moral ethics on "good".On the one hand,it is necessary to establish the behavior limit of social bottom line morality,and rectify the "evil" of illegal and immoral behaviors through system norms and disciplinary mechanism;on the other hand,through moral education and propaganda and guidance of "promoting good" to promote individuals to a higher level of spiritual pursuit Change.
