■Interpretation

As the saying goes, a tall building rises from the ground. No matter how magnificent the building is, it is also built brick by brick; No matter how vast the ocean is, it is also formed by trickling down. Looking at today's China, whether it is comprehensively deepening reform, improving social and people's livelihood, or building a country under the rule of law, there is a process of following the law and proceeding in an orderly and gradual manner. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, we must not only have the motivation to seize the day, but also have the courage to succeed without patience in my history, wholeheartedly seek development, and insist that Qingshan will not relax. Climbing the hill and overcoming difficulties is the most test of determination and patience. We must solve one problem after another, advance one footprint at a time, and prevent the impetuousness of completing one's work in one battle, the utilitarianism of only seeking short-term and quick results, and the blindness of doing great things quickly, and only then will there be new breakthroughs in the next hard work and real work. Accumulate steps to thousands of miles, accumulate small victories for big victories, hoof speed and steady, steady and far-reaching, then big things can be done, big things can be done.

■Definition

"The building is not made of wood; The run of the sea, the return of non-first-class", is the analogy of Qi Xiangguan Zhong in the "Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles" when he suggested that Qi Huan Gong recruit talents to become a hegemon. This means that the building cannot be built by the timber of a single tree; The moisture of the sea is not the convergence of a river alone. In his speech, Comrade Xi Jinping used "the moisture of the sea" as "the breadth of the sea".

Similar to the language of "building", Wang Bao of the Western Han Dynasty said in "The Four Sons Speak of Morality": "The material of the building is not a mound of wood. Expand the "timber of a tree" to "the wood of a hill". Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty emphasized the importance of "one wood" in the "Xie Jian Reading Table": "The building is structured, and it still needs the support of one tree." Similar to the language of "the sea", "Xunzi Persuasion" also says: "Without accumulating small streams, there can be no rivers and seas." ”

The building needs all talents, Hairun wants a hundred rivers, and the things become a collection of people, and the learning is a hundred schools. Therefore, the Zen master Huinan of the Northern Song Dynasty said: "The learning of the sages can be achieved without making times, but must be accumulated." "Learning to accumulate is the only way to succeed.
