——"Speech at the National Organization Work Conference" and other articles

■Interpretation

How to grow into a good cadre? In addition to improving self-cultivation and strengthening study, Comrade Xi Jinping also proposed to strengthen practice. Knowledge and experience are like the wings of an eagle, and only by weathering the wind and rain and seeing the world can we fly higher and farther. The more difficult the conditions, the greater the difficulties, and the more contradictions there are, the more people can be tempered. Only by going deep into the grassroots, into reality, and among the masses, can cadres sharpen their quality, improve their skills, and realize their own value on the main battlefield of reform and development, on the front line of maintaining stability, and at the forefront of serving the masses. A cadre who can take on heavy responsibilities must go through some hammering and tempering in practice, and the more arduous, difficult, and complicated the environment, the more experienced it is. In the multi-level practice environment, tempering the will, constantly enriching themselves, enriching themselves, and perfecting themselves, their talents have increased, their thinking has been deepened, and their knowledge has been improved. This kind of cadre who has worked hard at the grassroots level is a good cadre who can be trusted, stand firm, and stand firm.

■Original text

Wei Wenhou sent Ximen Leopard to rule in Ye, and told him: "It will be a complete achievement, fame, and righteousness." The leopard said: "Dare to ask about all the merits, fame, and righteousness, what can I do about it?" Wen Hou said: "The son is going to be the same, there is no one who is virtuous and eloquent, and there is no one who is good at promoting people's evil and hiding people's good." …… What the husband hears is not as good as what he sees, what he sees is not as good as what he practices, and what he practices is not as good as his hands; When a person first enters the official, if he enters an obscure room, the more he will become clearer over time, and the rule will be done. ”

——(Western Han Dynasty) Liu Xiang

■Definition

The Western Han Dynasty scholar Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan" was originally twenty volumes, and only five volumes remained, most of which have been dispersed, and then collected by Zeng Gong of the Northern Song Dynasty and reverted to twenty volumes. "Political Principles" is its seventh volume.

"Shuo Yuan: Political Principles" expounds the principle of ancient sages in government. In the above story, Wei Wenhou sent Ximen Leopard to manage the place of Ye, and told him to "do everything, become famous, and be righteous" before leaving. Simon Leopard asked how he could achieve fame and benevolence. Wei Wenhou replied: "What you hear is not as good as what you see, what you see is not as good as what you practice, and what you practice is not as good as what you can discern with your hands." This means that what the ear hears is not as reliable as the eye sees, and what the eye sees is not as reliable as the foot that surveys, and what the foot surveys is not as reliable as the hand to discern.

According to the "Historical Records: Funny Biography", after Ximen Leopard arrived in Ye County, he conducted in-depth investigation and research in a timely manner, "the elders, ask the people about their sufferings", quickly broke the local superstitious custom of "Hebo marrying a woman", and mobilized the people to dig 12 "canals", "famous all over the world, Zeliu for future generations".
