After a look at the former virtuous country and home, it became from diligence and thrift to luxury.
——"Speech at the Second Plenary Session of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection" and other articles
■Interpretation
Thrift leads to success, luxury leads to failure, and the lessons of history are thought-provoking. Today, after the entrepreneurial years and the world's second largest economy, we no longer have to live the hard days of destroying our families and relieving the hardships, and the poor days of red rice and pumpkin soup, but we can't be extravagant and extravagant before we get rich. In history, from "the six kings are bi, the four seas are one, the Shushan Wu, and the Afang is out" to "the soldiers are called, the Hangu is lifted, the Chu people are torched, and the poor scorched earth", the lessons of the second Qin Dynasty are thought-provoking; From "the high place of the Li Palace enters the green clouds, and the fairy music wind is heard everywhere" to "the Yuyang Mo agitates and comes to the ground, breaking the song of the neon clothes and feathers", the turning point of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline is sighing. extravagance, extravagance, extravagance, large-scale construction, rampant festivals, luxury, extravagance...... Nothing separates the party from the masses more than extravagance. Only it is honest and honest, it can resist the rampant flow of material desires, it can practice all kinds of poisons, it can establish an image of the end, and it can attract thousands of people to return to their hearts. No matter how the scene of the times changes, we should not throw away the heirloom of diligence and thrift and hard struggle, so that we can always maintain the political nature of communists and always maintain the vitality and vitality of our party.

Why do you need amber as a pillow, how can the pearl be a car.
It is not possible to transport Qinghai horses, and it is difficult to pull out the Shushan snake.
Several people have pre-Nanxun song, and the ancient cangwu cried Cuihua.
——(Tang) Li Shangyin, "Yongshi"
■Definition
This poem by the late Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin is called Yongshi, which is actually Yonghuai. The author uses the past to express his views on society and politics, expressing his feelings of resentment and strong patriotic feelings while expressing his talents.
The poem was written in the ninth year of Tang Dahe (835) after the failed attempt to punish the eunuchs, the poet lamented that although Tang Wenzong suppressed extravagance and thrift, he was unable to save the fate of the country's decline, because he did not use talents who were strong enough to take on military affairs, and the eunuchs controlled the forbidden army and entrenched in the imperial court. "If you don't get a horse from Qinghai, it's hard to pull out the Shushan snake" is exactly what happened. The author laments: Fortune has passed, where can Maxima meet? The strength has been exhausted, how can the snake of Shushan be eradicated? "Transported" and "poor", the words are thousands, expressing the poet's anxiety and sadness about the exhaustion of the country's fortunes.
The first couplet of this poem, "Visiting the former virtuous country and home, becoming from diligence and thrift to luxury" is a famous sentence for the ages. It means that looking at the lessons and lessons of the previous sages in governing the country and governing the family in the past dynasties, success is mostly due to diligence and thrift, and decline is often due to luxury. Although Tang Wenzong's strict frugality failed to reverse the decline, this sentence still points out a key to the success or failure of the regime.
