At the beginning of this year, what is the specific content of the city core values put forward by Taiyuan City?

After more than a year's inspection, sorting and refining, Taiyuan took the lead in establishing the city's core values-"tolerance, respect for law, honesty and Excellence" among the provincial capital cities in China at the beginning of the Year of the Loong.

The Sixth Plenary Session of the 17th CPC Central Committee proposed that the socialist core value system is the soul of rejuvenating the country. The presentation of Taiyuan's urban core values not only endows the soul of rejuvenating the country with regional characteristics, but also provides a practical carrier for tempering the persevering, enterprising, pragmatic and trustworthy "Shanxi spirit" and becomes a banner leading Taiyuan to take the lead in transformation and leapfrog development.

On February 8th, Guangming Daily and Taiyuan Municipal Committee of China jointly hosted the "Taiyuan Core Values Seminar". At the meeting, experts theoretically discussed how to build socialist core values in a city, the practical significance and practical path of Taiyuan core values. Experts believe that Taiyuan's urban core values have three elements: continuing Taiyuan's historical and cultural blood, meeting Taiyuan's current realistic needs and leading Taiyuan's future development direction. As for how Taiyuan practices the city's core values, experts pointed out that it needs not only the organic interaction between the party and government departments and the people, but also the benign linkage of all aspects of society, so that the core values can be built into the community and into the classroom. They hope that Taiyuan can further summarize, improve and carry forward the city's core values, take the initiative to lead Taiyuan's scientific development with the city's core values with a high degree of cultural consciousness and self-confidence, provide more rich practical experience for the construction of the national socialist core value system, and make greater contributions to promoting the great development and prosperity of socialist culture.

Highlight the historical attribute of public values.

Values are people's evaluation system of objective things, which stipulates and guides people's behavior direction. Establishing fair and upward values that meet the needs of the development of the times will help people to make behaviors that are beneficial to society, the country and themselves. The purpose of Taiyuan's construction of its own city values lies in this, that is, to establish a common public value for the present construction and future development of Taiyuan.

Values can also be said to be the fundamental guiding ideology of human behavior. From the concept of function, values are part of the world outlook and belong to the category of philosophy; From the cultivation process, it is gradually formed with people's social practice and cognition. Although relatively stable, it will change with time and belong to the category of history. In particular, urban values, as public values, have been abstractly integrated into social public values and become the crystallization of a local culture. At the same time, it will inevitably change with the changes of the times, which is more historic. Therefore, when constructing and cultivating the public values of a city and a region, we should not only combine with traditional social factors, but also combine with realistic social factors and future social factors to reflect the process and development trend of its emergence, continuation and change.

Taiyuan puts forward "tolerance, respect for Japan, respect for law, honesty and Excellence" as the core values of the city. Every aspect of it contains the refinement of historical tradition, the concern for the real society and the pursuit of the future society, and embodies the relationship between inheritance and innovation, tradition and future, and native land and nation. Its connotation orientation includes the interpretation of regional historical origins, such as taking the spirit of tolerance as the border center and the spirit of honesty as the capital of Shanxi merchants. There are also practical needs and future considerations, such as building a first-class capital city and a first-class area in the province to revitalize Taiyuan. The values constructed by Taiyuan City, in terms of connotation interpretation, point out its unique historical origin, unique practice performance and unique future appeal, which embodies the unity of local personality and national * * *.

The construction of core values in Taiyuan will be beneficial to Taiyuan people's "cultural consciousness", enhance their goal recognition and cohesion, improve the moral quality of the people and cadres, and promote the construction of a harmonious society. It is an important measure for Taiyuan to implement the policy of "cultural consciousness" and "cultural power" put forward by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Seventeenth Central Committee.

The Internal Motive Force of Leading Urban Development

The guiding ideology of core values construction in Taiyuan is clear, and the working ideas are clear. The overall creativity and practice have important theoretical and practical significance, which gives us a lot of inspiration and deserves serious study and summary.

First, it is of great significance to strengthen and highlight the construction of core values in urban construction and urban development. In the new critical period of reform, opening up and economic development, Taiyuan clearly put forward the city core values of "tolerance, respect for science and technology, honesty and Excellence", fully stimulated the vitality of urban innovation, enhanced the cohesion, appeal and image of the city, and promoted the comprehensive, coordinated, scientific and sustainable development of the economy and society. This is the in-depth implementation, vivid embodiment, concrete practice and effective practice of the socialist core value system. It is a typical example of the construction of core values in a provincial capital city and a deep-seated cultural consciousness. Its influence (including realistic influence and far-reaching influence) is huge and lasting, which can be recorded in the history of Taiyuan's development.

Second, we should pay attention to studying how to refine and summarize the core values of the city. The refinement and generalization of Taiyuan's urban core values are rich in connotation, profound in connotation, easy to know, remember, use and spread, which embodies the organic unity of individuality and individuality. Generally speaking, the words "tolerance, respect for science and technology, respect for law, honesty and Excellence" can be said to embody the spirit of the times of reform and opening up, the excellent traditional culture and virtue of the Chinese nation, and the unique regional culture of Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Thirdly, in the process of the formation of Taiyuan's urban core values, the city leaders and relevant departments conducted a serious investigation and study, and accurately expressed and analyzed the connotation and relationship between urban culture and urban core values. The practice of Taiyuan strengthens and highlights the construction of the city's core values, which has a great leading, driving and internal driving role in urban development, all-round construction and cultural construction.

Fourthly, from the construction and degree of urban core values, it is only the first step to put forward and publish the core values that can reflect the spirit of the city. It is a phased achievement, which means the beginning of a new stage, and the implementation work in the future is more important. Next, it can be summarized as two "transformations": transforming words into actions and transforming theory into practice. Let the city's core values take root in the hearts of urban people and transform them into ways of thinking, behaviors and habits.

Refine the past and present with core values.

At the beginning of this year, Taiyuan announced the city's core values of "tolerance, suntech, respect for law, honesty and Excellence" to the society. The people of Taiyuan have done something meaningful, that is, refining the history, reality and future of Taiyuan city with core values. This is of great significance not only to the urban construction of Taiyuan itself, but also to the construction of major cities in China.

These short ten words are the condensation of Taiyuan's long history of more than 2,500 years. Behind the "tolerance" is a history about the mutual integration of farming and nomadic peoples in the Central Plains, and farming and grassland civilizations. Behind "Suntech" is an excellent tradition originating from the Huaxia Cultural Center. Behind the "worship of law" is the profound imprint of the legalist thought in Sanjin; Behind "sincerity" is the commercial spirit of "the capital of Shanxi merchants"; Behind "Excellence" is the extraordinary brilliance of "Northern Dynasties dominating the government" and "Datang Northern Capital" in China's history.

These short ten words are the condensation of Taiyuan's current real life. In the great era of reform and opening up, in the tide of market economy and in the practice of building a well-off society in an all-round way, Taiyuan people have shown tolerance, kindness, virtue, respect for justice, honesty and trustworthiness, and strive for first-class quality spirit. There are voices from business circles, academic circles, political circles and the general public, which contain successful experiences in practicing core values and pursuing Excellence.

These short ten words are the condensation of Taiyuan's vision of a better life in the future, and are the core values of the city consistent with the beautiful vision of building a first-class provincial capital city including a first-class emerging industrial base, a first-class modern livable city and a first-class independent innovation base, and revitalizing Taiyuan's historical and cultural city. There is a huge sublimation force here, which will lead Taiyuan to recover its glory and build a beautiful and happy home.

The cohesion of Taiyuan's urban core values has both historical depth, realistic foundation and future height, thus truly forming a living urban soul with strong vitality. This has important reference value for other cities and the study of core values at the national level.

Ma Junfeng, a professor at the School of Philosophy of Renmin University of China and director of the teaching and research section of Marxist philosophy, said.

From value orientation to value orientation

Taiyuan City puts forward the core values of "tolerance, respect for the sun, respect for the law, honesty and Excellence" as the soul to guide its cultural construction and urban construction. The presentation and establishment of urban core values means putting forward tasks and goals, and it needs long-term and arduous efforts to turn the values that people expect into values that people can really feel and really enjoy.

This kind of "actually felt and truly enjoyed value" should be reflected in the manners, attitudes and spiritual temperament of Taiyuan people, and in the political style, folk customs and market style of Taiyuan. Because the real implementation of urban core values is to make it a value orientation in people's real life and an action that people really choose according to the requirements and standards of core values. Among them, value norms play a very important role. Institutions, systems and policies are all value norms, and no matter how good the value orientation is. If it cannot be embodied in system, system and policy, it will be difficult to become the value orientation in people's real life. From this point of view, the key to the implementation of core values is to guide and deepen the reform according to the requirements of core values, establish a set of systems, institutions and policies that embody and conform to core values, and maintain the authority of these systems and policies in implementation. Only in this way can the value orientation become people's actual value orientation.

Taiyuan is the capital city, and should be the first good area in Shanxi. The process of putting forward and practicing Taiyuan's core values is the process of building Taiyuan into the first good area in Shanxi, and it is also the process of giving full play to its exemplary role and giving play to its driving and radiating effects on various regions in Shanxi. I believe that this goal can be achieved through long-term efforts.

Provide an example of cultural transformation.

Culture is the soul of a city, which is embodied in urban architecture, cultural and educational institutions and facilities, folk customs and so on. Taiyuan is a famous historical city, with the oldest university in China, the earliest firm, and the leading position in industry and cultural relics. It is very important to highlight the characteristics of Taiyuan, a city with profound cultural heritage, and not to converge with other cities' cultures.

Taiyuan's urban core values "tolerance, respect for the sun, respect for the law, honesty and Excellence" have become the core of Taiyuan's urban culture, which shows that we have begun to attach importance to the core construction and cultural construction of urban construction. I want to talk about the relationship between core values and cultural symbols.

First of all, Taiyuan is a heavy industrial city. In the process of the transformation from industrial civilization to ecological civilization, how to innovate and whether it can provide an example of the transformation from a heavy industrial city to an ecological city may be a major topic of cultural transformation. Of course, this problem may be a little ahead of Taiyuan, because coal still needs to be mined and heavy industry still needs to be developed, but we should think about this important issue.

Second, we should respect history and culture. Whether a famous cultural city with a history can inherit and protect the cultures of different times is a major problem in the current urban cultural construction, and it is also a major event on the mayor's agenda. For example, industrial relics, historical museums and urban sculptures are all extremely meaningful cultural symbols. How can the characteristics of heavy industry cities be reflected through urban layout and planning? How to preserve famous universities, special snacks, time-honored brands and folk customs? And whether they should be supported? Only the solidified cultural symbols in the urban construction of Taiyuan can stabilize the core values of the city.

Third, urban values should be able to retain the memory of urban culture. A city is not a pure economy. Whether culture, art, universities, colleges, museums and bookstores are valued is an important aspect of maintaining the cultural memory of the city. They are the charm that makes residents living in cities feel cultural pride, and they are willing to live in Sri Lanka and come back to visit the city. They are an important symbol of whether a city has cultural taste.

Liu Jinchun, Dean of Taiyuan Academy of Social Sciences.

Provide value choices for urban transformation

From the cultural perspective of sociology, the socialist core value system is the mainstream culture and the fundamental values of our country. On the premise of carrying forward the main culture of the country, it is also very necessary to form unique urban core values that are combined with the reality of urban economic, social and cultural development and consistent with the real needs of citizens. This is an active exploration and construction of regional subculture. The urban core values of "tolerance, suntech, respect for law, honesty and Excellence" put forward by Taiyuan City will certainly provide important value choices and inexhaustible spiritual motivation for the transformation and development of this old energy and heavy chemical base.

As a job of actively shaping the mainstream values of the city, the refinement of the core values of the city needs to meet the needs of the current and future development of the city, highlighting its strategic significance of leading practice.

Today, Taiyuan is making every effort to build a first-class provincial capital city. On the one hand, "tolerance" should include the global village and different social classes and groups, as well as the mistakes in pioneering and innovative development, so as to achieve win-win cooperation with institutional tolerance. The core of "Suntech" is to lead the whole society to advocate the morality of the socialist core value system and form a social atmosphere and code of conduct with "morality" as the first priority. "Respect for the law" should be regarded as the just basis of the whole society's action. "Honesty" should actively explore new connotations, norms and practices under the conditions of socialist market economy, and make it the criterion of all social communication and the basic element of social control. "Excellence" is to focus on the goal of building a first-class provincial capital city, condense the essence and vigor, and revitalize Taiyuan with the efforts of one generation or even several generations.

In the next step, we should carry out various publicity, study and discussion activities in the whole society, deeply study and design a series of major activities and important measures, especially the necessary policies and institutional arrangements, express values with practical actions, and show value choices with action effects. Let the core values of the city give birth to firm beliefs and make the development of the city more soul, quality and charm.

Li Fuming, Deputy Director of Propaganda Department of Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and Director of Provincial Civilization Office

Let the core values of the city be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Taiyuan took the lead in putting forward the core values of the city, which helped to refine the "Shanxi spirit".

To carry forward Taiyuan's core values, we must first comprehensively and accurately grasp the socialist core value system. Carrying forward the urban core values is the realization form, effective carrier and concrete grasp of the socialist core value system in the construction of urban spiritual civilization. By refining the city's core values, the socialist core values will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and sublimated in the hearts of the broad masses of the people.

Secondly, we should continuously expand the coverage and influence of publicity and education on Taiyuan's urban core values. Only by making extensive use of various carriers, channels and resources and constantly expanding the coverage and influence of publicity and education on urban core values can urban core values be known, understood, recognized and accepted by people and become the ideal, belief and spiritual pursuit of the whole society. It is necessary to strengthen research interpretation and theoretical preaching, and interpret it in an all-round, multi-angle and deep-seated way, and enter institutions, rural areas, communities, schools, enterprises and units; It is necessary to integrate media resources, pay attention to discovering typical figures and deeds, popularize advanced experience and achievements, and create a good public opinion atmosphere; It is necessary to comprehensively use rich artistic forms, transform the city's core values into fiery words, vivid performances, wonderful melodies and vivid pictures, and show the essence, spirit and verve of Taiyuan, the provincial capital, with a full artistic image.

Third, we should use the core values of Taiyuan city to lead the social ideological trend, so that the core values of Taiyuan city can be transformed into the conscious actions of the people. As an ideology, urban core values should be transformed into tangible results that all urban residents can see, feel and touch. It is necessary to make it into the mind and solve practical interests; We should not only appeal to every citizen's conscious action, but also pay attention to the exemplary role, and strive to form a strong atmosphere in which the society is generally concerned, party member cadres take the lead, and citizens actively participate. According to the characteristics of the times, industries and times, we should design colorful and easy-to-use activity carriers, organically integrate Taiyuan's core values into economic, political, cultural, social and party building, into spiritual civilization creation activities in all walks of life, into citizens' daily lives, promote the whole society to practice Taiyuan's core values, and demonstrate the great power of the socialist core value system.

Zhang Chungen, member of the Standing Committee of Taiyuan Municipal Committee and Minister of Propaganda

Leading the spiritual banner of taking the lead in transformation and development

Taiyuan put forward the core values of the city, which was the first in the provincial capital cities. Putting forward and practicing the city's core values is the concrete practice of Taiyuan's socialist core value system, and it is the soul of revitalizing the city by building a first-class provincial capital city.

Why a city develops in this way instead of that way, and why these things are more important than other things, all stem from its core values. Cultivating the city's core values aims at answering the important proposition of "what is the most important", which is related to the future of the city.

Culture reflects the soft power of a city. Thought and spirit are the core elements of culture and the source of strength to guide fashion, educate people, serve society and promote development. Taiyuan takes the lead in transformation, leaping development and building a first-class provincial capital city, especially needing the help, support and guidance of culture. First of all, we should think about and promote the construction of values and give the soul of rejuvenating the country regional characteristics.

Cultivating urban core values is the search and recognition of urban cultural genes, the respect and response to the spiritual and cultural pursuit of urban people, and the conscious responsibility of culture leading urban development practice.

When Chen Chu, member of the Standing Committee of Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and secretary of Taiyuan Municipal Party Committee, came to work in Taiyuan, he asked leading cadres at all levels in the city a question: What is the most important thing in a city? The Propaganda Department of Taiyuan Municipal Committee took the lead in organizing and carrying out extensive solicitation and discussion activities for people from all walks of life inside and outside the city. After more than a year of repeated research, combing and refining, it was finally determined as "tolerance, respect for the law, integrity and Excellence".

The city's core values of "tolerance, respect for law, honesty and excellence" are aimed at showing Taiyuan people's pluralistic and harmonious open mind, showing the city's character of being kind and virtuous, paying attention to etiquette and keeping festivals, showing the civilized fashion of fairness, justice and respect for law, showing the humanistic feelings of honesty and loyalty, and showing the spirit of striving for the first class.

Urban core values are the soul and spirit of Taiyuan, which embodies the fundamental requirements of the socialist core value system, highlights Taiyuan's regional characteristics, historical inheritance, characteristics of the times and practical needs, and runs through the people's pursuit of building a first-class provincial capital city.

Through this seminar, the wisdom of leaders and experts will be gathered, and the core values of Taiyuan will be more rich in connotation and far-reaching, cherished and cared for by the people of the city, and become a cultural gene passed down from generation to generation. Taiyuan will also grow into a first-class capital city with a strong sense of moral honor and lofty values.
