The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party emphasized the need to uphold the spirit of reform and strict standards in managing and governing the Party, and to improve the institutional norms for the Party's self-revolution. Since the new era, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has resolutely advanced comprehensive and strict governance of the Party by turning the knife inward, making the Party stronger and more effective through revolutionary transformation. The broad masses of Party members and cadres must deeply implement the spirit of the plenary session, always maintaining a firm and conscious attitude of turning the knife inward, and promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the Party to develop in depth with higher standards and stricter discipline.

The inward-facing blade reflects the historical consciousness of our Party's constant awareness of potential dangers. By constantly reflecting on challenges, we can remain proactive. Today, while the life-and-death trials of blood and fire from the war era are fewer, the great struggles with many new historical characteristics continue. Factors that weaken the Party's advanced nature and purity are ever-present, and viruses that erode the Party's health are everywhere. If not strictly guarded against and regularly cleaned, political dust will accumulate over time, leading to insurmountable problems. Therefore, the Party's self-revolution must be carried through to the end, gathering powerful positive energy to clear away corruption and promote integrity, ensuring the Party remains unblemished, unstained, and untainted. Party members are the cells of the Party's body; they must always be mindful of the Party's concerns and take responsibility for it. Facing "forbidden zones," they must know reverence, hold fear, and adhere to the bottom line, using the Party Constitution, regulations, and discipline to constrain their every word and action, maintaining a clean and honest approach to both personal conduct and professional duties.

刀刃向内，体现了我们党对初心使命的传承与坚守。“天下之难持者莫如心，天下之易染者莫如欲。”习近平总书记引用这句古语强调，“一旦有了‘心中贼’，自我革命意志就会衰退，就会违背初心、忘记使命，就会突破纪律底线甚至违法犯罪”。党的初心和使命是党的性质宗旨、理想信念、奋斗目标的集中体现。忘记初心使命，党就会改变性质、改变颜色，就会失去人民、失去未来。有的党员干部之所以走上违纪违法的邪路，从根本上讲就是把初心和使命抛到九霄云外去了。坚守初心使命，并不是一件容易的事。党员干部要不断涵养刀刃向内的勇气，勤掸“思想尘”、常破“心中贼”，不断提升政治境界、思想境界、道德境界，以内无妄思保证外无妄动。

刀刃向内，关键是要发现问题、正视问题、解决问题。年的延安杨家岭，“坚持真理、修正错误”这八个字出现在中共七大会场。党历经百年沧桑更加充满活力，其奥秘就在于始终坚持真理、修正错误。习近平总书记深刻指出，我们党的伟大不在于不犯错误，而在于从不讳疾忌医，敢于直面问题，勇于自我革命。坚持刀刃向内，实际上就是不断发现、研究和解决自身问题，从而迁善改过、固本培元的过程。党员干部要有“惟以改过为能”的认识与胆识，以党章党规党纪为镜，在思想上政治上行动上进行自我检视、自我剖析、自我反思，去杂质、除病毒、防污染，不断增强自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高能力。
