■Interpretation

In traditional Chinese culture, "cultivating Qi and ruling peace" is not only a theoretical system for moral education and practice, but also the highest state and fundamental purpose of improving moral cultivation. This is discussed in great detail in the Book of Rites and Universities. From the inside to the outside, from the individual to the family to the country and the world, individual morality is constantly improved and enriched in the process of externalization, reaching the realm of becoming the world. In other words, there is the morality of cultivating the mind and governing the body, and then there is the political virtue of governing the country through the world.

"Heavy as the country, Dong Mo as virtue". As far as a party is concerned, in order to convince the masses of the people to support you and follow you, it must not only have a strong force of truth, but also a strong force of personality. Similarly, for a leading cadre, if he does not establish morality, cultivate morality, and practice morality, it is impossible to serve the people, be pragmatic, and be honest, and it is impossible to be clean and upright. Because of this, Comrade Xi Jinping has always emphasized that party members and cadres should pay attention to self-cultivation and morality, consciously cultivate moral sentiments, unify "being an official" with "being a man", and unify "standing by words" and "standing by doing". Only in this way can people and things have a strong personality charm and moral appeal.

——(Northern Song Dynasty) Wang Anshi "The Biography of Hong Fan"

■Definition

The Biography of Hong Fan is an important philosophical work of Wang Anshi, a politician and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Wang Anshi, through the form of a biography of Shangshu Hongfan, expounded the idea that heaven and man are irrelevant, and that disasters are not fearful. Regarding the way of governing the country, Wang Anshi advocated "cultivating his mind and governing his body, and then he can govern the world". It means that the monarch must first cultivate the mind and body, enrich the virtues, and then manage the politics and the country and level the world.

In traditional Chinese philosophy, "cultivating Qi and ruling peace" is a complete path of personality achievement. "The Book of Rites and the University" says: "Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule their country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies; Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you should know it first; Enlightenment is in Gewu. "Self-cultivation is the foothold of Gewu, knowledge, sincerity, and righteousness, and it is also the starting point of Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world. In the view of the ancients, any well-designed political system ultimately needs to be implemented by specific individuals. Therefore, for politicians, the level of personal cultivation is very important, and it can be said that it is the foundation of Anbang's governance.
