　　The formation of the supreme leader’s party building thought can be traced back to the seven years of educated youth of the supreme leader from 1969 to 1975.The supreme leader is fair and upright, flexible and willing to work. After Liang Jiahe jumped the queue for a year or two, he began to participate in the work of the village leadership team, especially when he joined the social education movement of Zhaojiahe Brigade and served as the party branch secretary of Liangjiahe Brigade. He carried out special practice on party building in a special historical period in his own special capacity. Reflected in the firm ideals and beliefs of the party; Not only shouting political slogans, but doing practical things for the masses in a down-to-earth manner; Combine production with party building work; Patiently and meticulously do ideological education; Never tolerate violations of discipline; Take the lead in setting an example to reflect the advanced nature of party member cadres and so on, which we can all do inSeven Years of Educated Youth of the Supreme LeaderFind living examples in the book.

　　Especially in the aspect of combining ideological construction with doing practical and good things for the people, the supreme leader who served as the party branch secretary of Liangjiahe Brigade set an example for all party comrades. At the beginning of 1974, after the election in party member of the whole village, the superior Party Committee agreed that the supreme leader became the party branch secretary of the brigade. The first major thing he did after taking office was to do biogas, drill a well for the village, set up an iron industry club, set up a sewing club, set up a consignment shop, build a silt dam and set up a flour mill. The success of one big event, one practical thing and one good thing is remembered by the common people in their eyes, and the ideological work naturally goes smoothly.

　　The pragmatic style of the Supreme Leader’s general secretary in the years of educated youth and the moral sentiment of "Don’t be praised for good colors, just keep the air fresh and dry" are reflected in the Supreme Leader’s party building thought and become a feature of the Supreme Leader’s party building thought. Therefore,Liang Jiahe’s educated youth years can be understood as the embryonic period of the supreme leader’s party building thought.

　　At the beginning of 1982, the supreme leader, who had been working in the Central Military Commission, volunteered to work in the rural grassroots. When he reported his plan to Geng Biao, Secretary General of the Central Military Commission, Geng Biao once asked him to stay, saying that it was a good thing to exercise at the grassroots level, and he could also go to the field army. But he still insisted on going somewhere.

　　The Supreme Leader told Tao Haisu, a good friend when he jumped the queue, that he had to go down to rural areas to do grass-roots work mainly for two reasons.First, the country has entered an era centered on economic construction, and it will be more comprehensive at the local level, closer to the people’s livelihood and people’s feelings, and more beneficial to its overall exercise. Second, he has worked in northern Shaanxi for seven years, and the richest accumulation of knowledge and work experience comes from the countryside. Moreover, the countryside is currently at the forefront of reform, and it is only when he goes to the countryside that he can give full play to his advantages. He also said to this close friend: "If you go on doing well this time, you will achieve great things in the future. If you don’t do well, it’s nothing to do something practical for the people below." This friend recalled in 2017: "I was very touched by what he said, but I was not surprised at all."

　　It is precisely because of this sinking persistence that the Supreme Leader worked in Zhengding County, Hebei Province for more than three years, enthusiastically mingled with the local cadres and masses, carried out all the work in a down-to-earth manner with the spirit of reform, and combined the thinking based on local work with the concern for the cause of the party and the people, and wrote in writing in 2015.The love of knowing.Publish for the title. This book contains 37 speeches, articles and letters of the Supreme Leader during his work in Zhengding from March 1982 to May 1985. A great deal of it involves party building. After the 18th CPC National Congress, comrades in the party felt familiar with terms such as "political discipline". In his speech, the Supreme Leader, then deputy secretary of Zhengding County Party Committee, made a profound exposition, combining political discipline with the central government’s political consistency. In order to improve the style of leading cadres in the county, in 1983, the Supreme Leader presided over the drafting of Zhengding County Committee of the Communist Party of China.Several Provisions on Improving the Style of LeadershipThat is, the "six regulations": First, take the overall situation into consideration and grasp major events. Second, oppose the official style and pay attention to practical results. Third, do a good job in the unity of "one class" and safeguard the unity of the leadership of the county party Committee. Fourth, set an example and don’t engage in unhealthy practices. Five, strengthen learning, and constantly improve the leadership level. Six, establish ambition, strive for excellence for the four modernizations. The "six regulations" in Zhengding period was the formulation of the eight central regulations after the 18th National Congress, which accumulated historical experience. Therefore,A few years in charge of Zhengding work can be understood as the initial formation period of the supreme leader’s party building thought.

The supreme leader also brilliantly expounded the strict administration of the party, pointing out: "Strict administration of the party and clean government are related to the success or failure of reform and opening up and have always been the lifeline of our party."

The collection was published by Zhejiang People’s Publishing House in 2007 and reprinted in 2015.Among these 232 short comments, Party building is the largest category, accounting for nearly half of the total, and many of them elaborate on all aspects of Party building. For example, "Managing yourself with ideological weapons" mainly discusses the Party’s ideological construction, "the weight of grassroots cadres" is about the Party’s organizational construction, and "being a man and being an official" is about the Party’s style construction. "Don’t treat the system as ‘ Scarecrow ’ Decoration "discusses the party’s system construction." "Moving forward, punishing and preventing at the same time" expounds the problem of anti-corruption construction. "Leading cadres are the main body of style construction" raises the issue of "key minority".

　　In the meantime, the supreme leader also has a book "Thinking and Practice of Promoting the New Development of Zhejiang" — — Do it in practice and walk in the forefront, which contains reports, speeches, articles and instructions made by the supreme leader during his tenure in Zhejiang, was published by the Central Party School Press in 2006 and reprinted in 2013.
