Abstract: In the 1930s, the Communist Party of China launched a vigorous anti-corruption campaign in the Central Soviet Area and built an “unprecedented true clean government” in Chinese history. In the process of combating corruption and advocating honesty, the Communist Party of China has opened up the arduous course of building a clean and honest administration of culture through such organized, systematic and concrete measures as grasping propaganda, managing education, establishing regulations, and setting examples. The practice of the Communist Party of China in the construction of a clean government culture in the Central Soviet Area initially explored the road of building a clean and honest government culture, formed a mass line centered around the people, and laid the organizational foundation for the ultimate victory of the Chinese revolution. The practice of building a clean and honest government culture in the Central Soviet Area still has a far-reaching enlightenment for China to adhere to the correct guidance of public opinion, to conduct a clean and honest education in schools, to improve the clean government system, and to insist on the principle of punishing corruption and advocating honesty in the construction of a clean and honest culture in the new era.

Key words: Central Soviet Area; construction of a clean government culture; new era; anti-corruption struggle; red gene
