■Interpretation

Why Innovate? How to innovate? This sentence quoted by Comrade Xi Jinping can be understood from these two levels. On the one hand, the time of the world changes, the situation changes produce new situations and bring new problems, what was reasonable in the past is not necessarily reasonable now, and what was effective in the past is not necessarily effective now. Only by maintaining innovation sensitivity can we catch up with the trend of the times. On the other hand, the world is different, and things are different, so we need to constantly break the mindset, update our concepts, find those that are "yesterday's" and "today's not", and correct them; Foresee the "future after tomorrow" that is "not today" and lead it. Confucius once said, "The deceased is like a husband, reluctant to give up day and night"; Heraclitus said that one cannot step into the same river twice. As far as leading cadres are concerned, they should overcome the lazy thinking of government and act in response to the situation, and only by grasping the law of innovation can they continue to walk in the forefront of the times.

■Original text

The dispute between husband and wrong, as the years are, day and night change, and they are not the same. Yesterday was and today is not, today is not and the day after tomorrow is again. Although Confucius has been resurrected to the present, he does not know what to do, and he can be punished and rewarded!

——(Ming) Li Zhen, "Collected Books: The General Theory of the Century Biography"

■Definition

Li Zhen (1527-1602) was a thinker and writer of the Ming Dynasty. He believed that Confucian classics such as the Six Classics, the Analects, and Mencius were only the essay records of his disciples at that time, and not "the supreme treatise of eternity". And he proclaimed: "If you see a Taoist, you will be evil, if you see a monk, you will be evil, and if you see a Taoist, you will be especially evil." ”

In The Collection of Books, Li Zhen attacks the Confucian dogma that blindly promotes the words of the sages. In response to Mr. Daoxue's "salty Confucius's right and wrong", he asked: "The first three generations, I don't care; The next three generations, the Han, Tang, and Song dynasties are also. For more than 1,000 years in the middle, and there is no right or wrong, how can they have no right and wrong? He concluded: "Xian regards Confucius's right and wrong as right and wrong, so there is no right and wrong." Li Zhen believes that the value standard of right and wrong has the characteristics of the times, "as the years are, day and night change, and they are not the same." Yesterday was and today is not, today is not and the day after tomorrow is again. "The right and wrong of Confucius is only the standard of right and wrong of the era in which he lived," although Confucius was resurrected to the present, he did not know what right and wrong he did, and he could be punished and rewarded by his own business! It is believed that the right and wrong of Confucius cannot be regarded as a "fixed principle". For thousands of years, the doctrine of Confucius has been regarded as the benchmark of feudal moral theory, so Li Zhen's thought caused a great shock. The ruler defiled his "madness" and burned his books. In his later years, Li Zhen was falsely imprisoned and killed by suicide on the charge of "daring to advocate chaos and confusing the world and slandering the people".
