The vision of "civilized transportation".
With the rapid development of economy and society, China has become a big country in automobiles and transportation. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Public Security, as of the end of September this year, the number of motor vehicles in the country reached 4300 million, 5 motor vehicle drivers200 million people. There are 90 cities in the country with more than 1 million cars, an increase of 8 cities year-on-year. Among them, 43 cities have more than 2 million cars, and 25 cities have more than 3 million. Chengdu, Beijing and Chongqing have more than 6 million cars, Shanghai and Suzhou have more than 5 million cars, and Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Wuhan, Tianjin, Dongguan, Shenzhen and Hangzhou have more than 4 million cars. Standing on the coordinates of historical development, the expectation of the concept of "civilized transportation" represents the most popular and universal vision, and the development of safety themes and civilization issues also puts forward higher requirements for the excavation, exploration, inheritance and development of the spirit of "civilized transportation".
From the white clouds and green grass of Chifeng, to the shore of Changsha in Xiangshui, from the Yellow Mountain of ink and smoke and rain, to Yancheng on the shore of Dazong Lake, traffic safety caravans have traveled all over the north and south of the river, "Chinese Character Safety", "Traffic Safety Four Seasons Song", the combination of traditional Chinese culture and civilized traffic concepts, the spiritual connotation of "rites", "lets", "guards" and "harmony" is accompanied by songs, experiences and dramas, and more and more clearly depicts the context of "civilized traffic".
"Civilized transportation" must be inherited, developed, and always beat on the pulse of the times, which is inseparable from the cultivation of the next generation. The connotation of "civilization" is contained in the catchy nursery rhyme of "The First Lesson of School for Traffic Safety", embodied in the story of the "Traffic Safety Zodiac" series of children's books, and rooted in the hearts of children and bloomed in the children's Chinese dream through the unremitting efforts of local public security traffic management departments and teachers. In August this year, the General Office of the Ministry of Public Security and the General Office of the Ministry of Education jointly issued the "Student Traffic Safety Improvement Action Plan (2023-2026)", which further practices "civilized traffic" from the child, which is a long-term plan to continuously improve traffic safety awareness and traffic civilization quality.
A bright future for "civilized transportation".
This year is the first year for the full implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and it is also a key year for the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The National Conference on Propaganda, Ideological and Cultural Work held a few days ago officially put forward and systematically expounded the best cultural thoughts, made important arrangements for the current and future propaganda, ideological and cultural work, and proposed to "focus on cultivating and practicing the core values of socialism". "Civilized transportation" is also an important part of it, and its realization urgently needs to establish a new era of transportation culture system and its action community that is compatible with the development of today's Chinese society and the construction of a cultural power and transportation power.
Culture is the source of civilization, and civilization is the refinement of culture. The inheritance and development of "civilized transportation" is the essence of continuing the culture of the Chinese nation, which is cast in the blood and condensed in the soul. "Rites" is the core of traditional Chinese culture and forms the keynote of the spirit of the Chinese nation. It is the result of the long-term influence and accumulation of the value orientation of "noble harmony" in the "li" culture.
There is no end to goodness, just say the word "let", everyone can do it;No matter how poor the way to stand up, you only have the word "respect", and everything will be organized. If there is "etiquette" in the heart, it will be done in moderation, and then each will go its own way to achieve harmony. There is a saying in the "Book of Rites": "A gentleman is cautious and alone, and does not deceive the dark room." It is stated that "civilization" should be the consensus and moral criterion of the whole society, and will not be changed by whether or not others see it.
In the face of the increasingly diversified travel situation, the increasingly complex traffic situation, and the increasing demand for experience, the only way to do this is to continuously improve the ability of modern traffic governance, continuously enrich the traffic safety governance model, continuously optimize the top-level design, improve the construction of the rule of law, pay attention to the empowerment of science and technology, improve cultural governance, and respond to the future with the same original intention. After 12 years of accumulation, the "National Traffic Safety Day" is both a solid planting and development, a reincarnation and a new start. It is a valuable record of the exploration process of the public security traffic management industry, and it is also a safe totem for the enlightenment of national rules and the consensus of civilization.
Mount Tai does not let the soil, so it can become its big;The river and the sea do not choose a trickle, so it can be on its depth, "civilized transportation requires the joint efforts of thousands of you and me, bringing together everyone's deep understanding and practical practice of "safety" and "civilization". Law-abiding, safe and civilized, on the road from a big transportation country to a transportation power, there are you and me, hand in hand. Winter comes and summer, spring goes to autumn, and the future will still be through unremitting efforts year after year, for a long time, in the whole society to form a harmonious atmosphere of "everyone builds, everyone shares, you and I walk", and jointly draw a beautiful picture of civilized transportation.
