The Chinese Communist Party’s anti-corruption and clean government thought is a form of consciousness campaign, which is a reflection of anti-corruption and clean government practice in the political Party’s consciousness. Basing on the Marx Lenin’s anti-corruption and clean government thought, the Chinese Communist Party actively plays the subjective initiative of the proletarian political party, to promote the perceptual knowledge raised from the anti-corruption and clean government practice into rational knowledge in order to guide the anti-corruption and clean government practice, in the process of dialectical thinking by discarding the dross and selecting the essential, discarding the false and retaining the true perceptual knowledge, from the outside to the inside, which becomes more perfect with the development of the anti-corruption and clean government practice. The thought gives the answer to the three questions, namely, what is the anti-corruption and clean government, why should the Chinese Communist Party carry on anti-corruption and clean government, and how to realize anti-corruption and clean government.The thesis takes the Chinese Communist Party’s anti-corruption and clean government thought since the founding of the new China as the study object as a whole. According to the historical stages of the Chinese Communist Party, the thesis studies about the collective leadership and the core leaders of the Party’s anti-corruption and clean government thought of the different historical stages. The thesis systematically studies the new situation and new problems which were raised by the different background and historical orientation since the founding of the new China, the Communist Party’s cognition on the importance of anti-corruption and clean government and the judgment on anti-corruption and clean government situation, the key point and the difficulty of the anti-corruption and clean government. The thesis also integrates the principles, ideas, task deployment and organizational leadership and other important aspects of the Chinese Communist Party’s anti-corruption and clean government thought. It elaborates the Chinese Communist Party’s anti-corruption and clean government thought’s historical role in the anti-corruption and clean government practice and the revolution, construction and reform. The thesis makes a prediction on the development of the Chinese Communist Party’s anti-corruption and clean government thought. The body of the thesis includes six chapters:The first chapter mainly discusses that the Chinese Communist Party takes Marxist-Leninist’s anti-corruption and clean government thought as the theory cornerstone, critically inherits the ancient and modern anti-corruption and clean government thought, and actively participates in the new democratic revolution period’s anti-corruption and clean government practice, and forms the Chinese Communist Party’s anti-corruption and clean government thought in the new democratic revolution period, which provides the practical basis for the Chinese Communist Party’s anti-corruption and clean government thought since the founding of the new China.The second chapter mainly discusses that from New Democracy to Socialism period, the Chinese Communist Party thought about the anti-corruption and clean government construction from the start point of restoring the development of the national economy and consolidating the new regime. According to the Party’s Seventh Plenary Meeting’s political judgment, the Chinese Communist Party put forward the thought of the anti-corruption and clean government to protest the corrosion of the bourgeoisie. Among them, Mao Zedong thought that the degeneration in the political ideology was the ideological reason for the Party members and cadres’ economic corruption and debauchery. Therefore, he focused on the use of ideological education’ s a flexible guiding to cultivate the anti-corruption awareness of the Party members and cadres. At the same time, the Chinese Communist Party followed the mass movement which inherited from the revolution period to carry out anti-corruption and clean government construction, which gained remarkable achievement. However, the beneficial factors of the anti-corruption and clean government thought failed to be theorized and systematized.The third chapter mainly discusses that during the period of all-round socialist construction, the Chinese Communist Party thought about the anti-corruption and clean government construction from the start point of ensuring the smooth progress of socialist construction. According to the Party’s Eighth National Conference’s political judgment, the Chinese Communist Party put forward the thought of the anti-corruption and clean government to prevent the production of "privileges" level. Among them, Mao Zedong focused on considering the problem of corruption from the perspective of class struggle, and mobilized the masses movement against corruption, which effectively prevented the imperialism’s "peaceful evolution" strategy on the corrosion and invasion of the Communist party. Fighting against privilege and cadres is the important content of the anti-corruption and clean government construction during the period of all-round socialist construction. However, with the changes in domestic and foreign situation, Mao Zedong made cognitive deviation on the main contradiction of the socialist society, which resulted that he considered the normal opinion analysis and corruption and degeneration and bureaucracy as the class struggle. Together with the poor experience of anti-corruption and clean government construction under the socialist condition and not enough research on the rule of anti-corruption and clean government construction deficiencies, resulting that anti-corruption and clean government construction broke from the leadership of the Party in the "Cultural Revolution" period, which is a profound lesson for the Party’s unity and political stability.The fourth chapter mainly discusses that during the period of the reform and opening up, the Chinese Communist Party eliminated the negative influence which the reform and opening up and the development of the commodity economy brought to the Party members and cadres by carrying out the anti-corruption and clean government construction. In order to restore the fine tradition of the Party and solve the special phenomenon existing in the Party, to fight against economic crimes and prevent power commodity, the Party put forward a series of new judgments and ideas, inherited and carried forward the anti-corruption and clean government thought of Mao Zedong, which established principles and provided specific ideas for the Party’s anti-corruption and clean government construction under the condition of the reform and open policy and the modernization construction.The fifth chapter mainly discusses that during the period of the establishment of the socialist market economic system, when the world situation, circumstances and the Party situation has undergone profound changes, the Chinese Communist Party thought about the anti-corruption and clean government construction from the start point of developing the socialist market economy. Around the two historical tasks of promoting the Party’s leadership and the ability to resist corruption and risk, the Party made a deep research on the major issue of Chinese anti-corruption and clean government construction and interpreted the anti-corruption and clean government construction’s main significance, the guiding ideology, work thinking, leadership system, the basic principle and the pattern of theory and practice, reflected the change of the era’s new requirements for the construction of the Party and the anti-corruption and clean government construction, and indicated the development direction of the Party’s construction and the anti-corruption and clean government construction.The sixth chapter mainly discusses the Chinese Communist Party’s realization of the importance of the anti-corruption and clean government construction in the strategic height of the success and failure of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and national stability since the Sixteenth National Conference of the Party. It suggests to put the anti-corruption and clean government construction to a more prominent position, to consider the anti-corruption and clean government construction as an important part of the construction of the Party, to establish specimen and cure, comprehensive treatment, punishment and prevention strategy simultaneously, focus on prevention, establish a series of important views and conclusions on sound education, system, supervision, reform, rectification and punishment for punishing and preventing corruption, which helps the anti-corruption and clean government theory make continuous innovation in practice. At the same time, the proposition of clean government construction also represents the Party’s anti-corruption and clean government construction has changed from political consciousness into cultural consciousness.
