On October 27th, the Sixth Conference on the Development History of China’s Anti-Corruption and Integrity and the First Symposium on Integrity in Calligraphy and Painting took place in Beijing, attracting over 200 experts, scholars, and artists from various fields.
The book “History of Anti-Corruption and Integrity Development in China,” compiled by the Editorial Committee of the History of Anti-Corruption and Integrity Development in China and published by the Central Party School Press, serves as a historical archive showcasing the evolution of anti-corruption and integrity initiatives in the country.
Wang Qijiang, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice President of the China Law Society, emphasized in his opening remarks that building a culture of integrity is a systematic project. He noted that the compilation of the “History of Anti-Corruption and Integrity Development” began a decade ago. Studying our nation’s history of anti-corruption and integrity provides valuable insights into ancient governance cultures, the successes and failures of historical anti-corruption efforts, and how we can apply historical wisdom to advance current integrity initiatives.
Jiang Bixin, Vice President of the China Law Society, called the book a hallmark cultural project for the new era—an important contribution to our nation’s anti-corruption history. He stressed that ongoing compilation and revision of “History of Anti-Corruption and Integrity Development” is essential for establishing a brand of integrity culture and gradually promoting the construction of Party conduct and integrity culture in this new era. This effort, he mentioned, requires persistent innovation, open-mindedness, and the gathering of diverse opinions and suggestions.
Cui Hongxing, Deputy Director of the Editorial Committee, expressed hope that the work would serve as a foundation for integrating integrity culture with historical, regional, and traditional cultures, as well as contemporary themes. He envisioned incorporating the essence of integrity culture into various art forms such as calligraphy and painting, aiming to create resonant works that captivate audiences and highlight the enduring brilliance of integrity culture.
The symposium was jointly organized by the Editorial Committee of the History of Anti-Corruption and Integrity Development in China and the Dong Biwu Legal Thought Research Association, with support from the China Integrity Law Research Association and hosted by the Beijing Fangyuan Legal Consulting Service Center.
