■Interpretation

If you are good at it, you will be narrow, if you are narrow, you will be discrete, and if you are discrete, you will be embarrassed; Collaboration is broad, breadth is smooth, and smoothness can be successful. Comrade Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that leading cadres should have the mind that "success does not have to be in me" and have the vision of "keeping the overall situation in mind, grasping the general trend, and focusing on major events", which is to transcend the narrowness of one's own gains and losses. Blindly stubborn in one's own opinion will be obscured; blindly pretending to be a hero will inevitably isolate oneself; Always worry that others will surpass you, and you will naturally look detached. At the end of the pursuit of personal fame and fortune, short-term political achievements must replace long-term planning, and short-term success and quick profit replace unity and cooperation. Look at some places, the ribbon-cutting of gongs and drums is noisy, but in exchange for overgrown unfinished buildings, short-term political achievements impulsively alienated into "one-man battles", and the lonely and bare-bones commander is bound to be unable to make earth-shattering careers; Looking at a certain county in the north reported by Xinhua News Agency, more than a dozen county party secretaries have worked one after another, one term after another, and it is precisely through concerted efforts that they have created a human miracle that has made the desert Gobi reappear verdant. A person's achievements are judged by their talents, and how well they can play is measured by their abilities; For leading cadres, whether it is a ladder for others or a paving stone, what they can break free from is the shackles of fame and profit, and what they will reap will be the development achievements that benefit one party.

■Original text

The affairs of the world are not undefeated in specialization. Specialization is narrow, narrowness is narrow, and poverty is narrow; A total is Bo, Bo is a general, and a general is successful. Therefore, if a gentleman cultivates himself and heals his heart, he shares his own path with others; If you start a business, you will share it with others; Dao Longgong's work is shared with others; If you want to follow, you will share the benefits with others. It is the way that there is no unclear, no achievement, no glory, and no long-term. The villain is not, he concentrates on his own way, and cannot obey the good to the righteous to expand himself; concentrate on one's own merits, and can not be virtuous and arrogant; The name of oneself, and the victory of others; Focus on one's own interests, and do not want others to have them. …… These two are also the great difference between a gentleman and a villain.

——(Northern Song Dynasty) Sima Guang "Zhang Gongzi Dacheng Preface"

■Definition

"The world is not defeated in the specialization and becomes the communist" from the Northern Song Dynasty Sima Guang's "Zhang Gongzi Dacheng Preface", which was made by Zhang Tuiguan of Yuezhou in the first year of Song Renzongjia (1056). It means that there is nothing in the world that is not defeated by specialization and cooperation. He emphasized the importance of working together to make a difference, and the dangers of being narrow-minded. Sima Guang believes that if you are good at it, you will inevitably be narrow-minded, and if you are narrow-minded, you will betray your relatives and leave your relatives, and if you betray your relatives, you will fall into embarrassment; On the contrary, if we work together, we will gather all forces, and if we gather all forces, we will be unimpeded, and we will succeed if we are unimpeded.

For this reason, Sima Guang made a distinction between a gentleman and a villain. He believes that a gentleman is always happy to "share his way" with others, and then "share his merits", "share his name" and "share his benefits", so that morality will inevitably prosper, meritorious deeds will inevitably be achieved, fame will inevitably be honored, and interests will inevitably last for a long time. The villain is different, he always "concentrates on his own way", and then "concentrates on his own merits", "concentrates on his own name" and "concentrates on his own interests", so he is not free from Taoism, merit, fame and disgrace, and profit.
