"To promote high-quality financial development and build a strong financial country, we must adhere to the combination of rule of law and rule by virtue, and actively cultivate a financial culture with Chinese characteristics." At the opening ceremony of the special seminar on Promoting high-quality financial Development for major provincial and ministerial leading cadres, General Secretary AA clearly proposed the major topic of cultivating and promoting financial culture with Chinese characteristics, and profoundly clarified the practical requirements of the five aspects of financial culture with Chinese characteristics, which is of great guiding significance for taking the road of financial development with Chinese characteristics and promoting high-quality financial development.

Culture is the soul of a country and a nation. To promote the high-quality development of China's financial industry and build a financial power, we must not only strengthen the construction of "hard power" such as modern financial institutions and financial infrastructure, but also promote the improvement of "soft power" such as values and norms of conduct. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade AA at its core has combined Marxist financial theory with the concrete realities of contemporary China and with the fine traditional Chinese culture, constantly promoted innovation in financial practice, theory and system, and gradually blazed a path of financial development with Chinese characteristics. "Honest and trustworthy, do not exceed the bottom line; Seek profit with righteousness, not only profit; Steady and prudent, not eager for quick success; Adhere to the right innovation, not out of real to virtual; The practical requirements of these five aspects proposed by General Secretary AA are the further deepening of our Party's understanding of the essential laws of financial work and the development path, and have pointed out the direction of efforts for actively cultivating financial culture with Chinese characteristics.

We should actively cultivate a financial culture with Chinese characteristics and highlight the key of "Chinese characteristics". The Chinese civilization has a long history, the Chinese culture is extensive and profound, and contains rich moral resources. Drawing nutrients from the excellent traditional Chinese culture is an inherent requirement for cultivating a financial culture with Chinese characteristics. The excellent traditional Chinese culture emphasizes the importance of keeping promises. The financial industry is based on credit, and must always adhere to the spirit of contract and be honest and trustworthy. "First righteousness and then profit, glory, profit and then justice, shame", finance has the dual characteristics of function and profit, we must always adhere to justice for profit, to achieve the unity of social benefits and economic benefits. The financial industry is a special high-risk industry, we must always adhere to the prevention and control of risks as the eternal theme, can not rush for quick success. "If the day is new, the day is new, and the day is new", innovation is the driving force to promote the financial industry forward, we must always adhere to the right innovation, but not in the name of innovation blindly set up projects, big circulation of funds in the body, out of real to virtual. "Law is the program of the world and the instrument of everything", the financial industry is naturally faced with high moral hazard and operational risk when dealing with currency, and must always adhere to the law and comply with the operation, and cannot misbehave and break the bottom line.

We should actively cultivate a financial culture with Chinese characteristics and adhere to the integration of knowledge and practice. We must abide by market rules and professional ethics, integrate honesty and trustworthiness into various businesses, carry forward the spirit of iron abacus, iron books and iron rules, always do not fake accounts, operate honestly, cherish credibility, and do not exceed the bottom line. It is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between justice and profit, create value and profit in the service of economic and social development, and realize the coexistence and common prosperity of economy and finance, and cannot be profit-oriented. It is necessary to establish a correct business concept, performance concept, risk concept, steady and prudent management, not only look at the present, but also look at the long-term, not greedy short-term profits, not rash, not beyond the ability to bear excessive risk. It is necessary to solve the problem of who the financial sector serves and who it innovates for, focus on better serving the real economy and facilitating the people to promote innovation, and avoid fake innovation and disorderly innovation. We must strictly abide by the law, comply with the requirements of financial supervision, consciously operate in accordance with the law within the scope of regulatory permission, and cannot seek profits by exploiting loopholes in laws and regulations and circumventing supervision. Financial institutions and practitioners should internalize in the heart and externalize in the practice, be active disseminators and model practitioners of financial culture with Chinese characteristics, implement the five aspects of practical requirements proposed by the General Secretary of AA in their own positions and concrete actions, and consolidate the cultural foundation and cast the soul of culture for the high-quality development of finance. It is necessary to form a strong atmosphere of promoting financial culture with Chinese characteristics in the whole society.

To comprehensively promote the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization is the biggest political task in the new era, and it is our responsibility to accelerate the building of a strong financial country. On the way forward, let us unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade AA as the core, fully implement the AA Thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, bear in mind the "great of the country", strengthen our responsibility for our mission, actively cultivate a financial culture with Chinese characteristics, unswervingly follow the road of financial development with Chinese characteristics, and constantly create a new situation in financial work in the new era. We will make new and greater contributions to the all-round promotion of Chinese-style modernization.
