■Interpretation

The contrast between the difficult and the easy is especially obvious on the issue of "self-cultivation". Comrade Xi Jinping once quoted "from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift", "do not take the good as small and do nothing, do not take the evil small and do it", etc., all say this truth. Indeed, most of the virtues and deeds of goodness are related to temperance, dedication, and perseverance, which require stronger will qualities and a higher spiritual realm, so it is particularly difficult. Evil deeds tend to give people momentary pleasure and enjoyment, thus leading people to indulge in indulgence. More than 2,000 years ago, Confucius exclaimed, "I have not seen a virtuous person like a lustful person", and this is what he said. The more difficult it is to follow good and the easier it is to follow evil, the more leading cadres must strengthen their inner self-discipline. An avalanche is often caused by a snowflake. "A thousand-mile embankment collapses in an anthill", once the defense line is breached, it may fall for thousands of miles. For ordinary people, it is necessary to consciously establish and practice the core values of socialism, and always maintain a positive attitude towards life, good moral character, and healthy interest in life; As for leading cadres, it is even more necessary to have a firm will, strive to be cautious and independent, cautious at the beginning, and cautious, and stick to the pure land in their hearts.

■Definition

"From good as ascending, from evil as collapsing" is a proverb included in the "Chinese". Climbing: Climbing high mountains. Avalanche: A rockfall from a mountain. It means that learning well is as difficult as climbing a mountain, and learning bad is easy as a landslide.

In the year of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the prince dynasty rebelled, and King Jing of Zhou was expelled and fled to Chengzhou. The exiled ministers planned to build a city and a capital in Chengzhou. Wei Xianzi, the ruler of the Jin state, agreed, but the great doctor of the Wei Guo thought it was impossible, and quoted the proverb "from good is like ascending, from evil is like collapse" and the lessons of the previous dynasty to dissuade it.

This ancient proverb vividly illustrates the difficulty of good and the ease of evil, and it is the admonition of the ancient sages, which was valued by later generations of politicians. According to the records of Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Song Dynasty Liu Yilong, in order to advocate the new policy and cleanse the decadence of officialdom, once admonished the ministers: For the government of the government, remember to "follow the good as the ascendant, and the evil as the collapse". After that, the Liu Song regime opened the historical period of the strongest national strength of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which was known as the "rule of Yuanjia" in history.
