The circular stressed that the illegal handling of weddings, funerals and celebrations seriously violated the spirit of the eight central regulations. Party member cadres at all levels should draw profound lessons from the typical problems reported, conscientiously abide by the relevant provisions on handling weddings, funerals and celebrations, strengthen self-discipline and take the lead in changing customs. Party committees (party groups) at all levels should take the initiative to take responsibility, earnestly strengthen the supervision and management of cadres’ handling of weddings, funerals and celebrations, strengthen publicity and education, and guide party member cadres to handle weddings, funerals and celebrations in strict accordance with regulations. The main leaders of party committees (party groups) should not only put forward requirements for team members and subordinates in advance, but also strengthen the supervision after the event, take the initiative to ask about the handling of relevant matters, listen to the masses’ comments extensively, and timely discover and stop violations. Discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels should seize key nodes, "keep their eyes open" and "stretch their ears", keep a close eye on important nodes, key people and key things, and intensify unannounced visits, supervision and inspection, and discipline review. We should have "zero tolerance" for those who illegally handle weddings, funerals and celebrations, pursue luxury, do big things, take the opportunity to collect money, extravagance and waste, and engage in feudal superstitious activities. We should find out, investigate and report together, resolutely stop the bad atmosphere of illegally handling weddings, funerals and celebrations, and lead the people’s social style with excellent party style and political style.
