——"Speech at the National Conference on Propaganda and Ideological Work" and other articles

■Interpretation

Comrade Xi Jinping proposed that leading cadres should also have these three realms in reading and studying: first, they must have the lofty pursuit of "looking at the end of the world", and they must endure the coldness of "the west wind withered the green trees last night" and the loneliness of "going up to the tall building alone"; secondly, we must work diligently, even if the "belt is gradually widening", we will never regret it, and "people are haggard" willingly; Thirdly, we must insist on independent thinking, "find him thousands of times in the crowd" in study and practice, and finally "suddenly look back" and comprehend the true meaning in the "light of the day".

The three realms enlighten us that reading should not only have a clear goal and unswerving perseverance, but also improve the efficiency and quality of reading. To achieve this realm, Comrade Xi Jinping has summed up three points of experience and understanding: adhere to the unity of reading and thinking; insist on the combination of reading and application; Perseverance and perseverance.

■Original text

Those who have made great careers and asked questions in ancient and modern times must pass through three realms: "Last night the west wind withered the green trees. Go up to the tall building alone, look at the end of the world", this first realm also. "The belt gradually widens and does not regret it, and it makes people haggard for Yi", this second realm is also. "The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was in the lamplight", this third realm also.

——Wang Guowei, "Words in the World"

■Definition

"Words in the World" is a literary criticism work by Wang Guowei, a famous scholar in modern times. His theory of "three realms of life" is a summary of the experience of successful people in history.

Success has its own internal logic. Wang Guowei believes that this logic can be reflected in the words and sentences of the Song Dynasty lyricists Yan Shu, Liu Yong, and Xin Qiji. The first realm: "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees. Go up to the tall building alone, look at the end of the world", from Yan Shu's "Magpie Treading Branches, Threshold Chrysanthemum Sorrow Smoke Orchid Weeping Dew". Climb high and overlook, all you see is the autumn scenery of slaughter, the west wind and yellow leaves, the mountains are high and the water is long, how can the case book be reached? Wang Guowei interprets this sentence as: To become a great career in learning, you must first have a persistent pursuit, climb high and look far, look at the path, and clarify the goal and direction. The second realm, "The clothes and belts are gradually widened and there is no regret in the end, and people are haggard for Yiyi", from Liu Yong's "Feng Qi Wu, Ling Leaning on the Dangerous Building", which summarizes a kind of perseverance and perseverance. Despite all kinds of difficulties, we must persistently pursue and struggle selflessly. The third realm "everyone looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but that person was in the lamplight", from Xin Qiji's "Qingyu Case: Yuan Xi". Used here, it means that after many twists and turns and years of tempering, people will gradually mature, suddenly become enlightened, and then achieve the final success.
