■Interpretation

Early treatment of minor diseases, early prevention of diseases. Comrade Xi Jinping quoted this sentence to highlight the important role of "governance at the source", as the so-called "sage does not cure the disease, the disease is not cured, and the chaos is not cured". Of course, the end of the treatment is also very important, especially for the chronic disease, we should increase the intensity of the crackdown, but if we do not pay attention to the source protection, it will let the bad habits evolve into bad style, and then evolve into corruption, not only need to spend greater governance costs, but also difficult to eradicate the soil for the spread of corruption. The end treatment can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and fall into the vicious circle of "the more anti-corruption, the more corrupt". Therefore, whether it is to improve the style of work or to oppose corruption, Comrade Xi Jinping has emphasized "strengthening governance at the source", preventing microscopic problems, taking precautions, and striving to solve problems in the bud. From the perspective of party members and cadres, they have chosen to join the party and hold public office, and they have lofty ambitions and fierce ambitions. When the opportunity for corruption comes suddenly, I believe that most people can distinguish between right and wrong, but it is the small problems of daily life that gradually wear away the edges and corners of ideals and beliefs, like boiling a frog in warm water. Therefore, party members and cadres should be more cautious and cautious, and keep the small sections, so as not to lose the big sections.

The water of the broken cliff comes from the trickle; The tree that covers the sun with dry clouds starts from the green. It is easy to prohibit the small, but it is difficult to save the last, and people do not ignore the small, so that it is big. Grace can't bear to teach, righteousness can't bear to cut, after going to the matter, the mirror of the future is also.

This sentence warns us that small sections are easy to control, big mistakes are difficult to remedy, and everything has a process of formation, development, and decline, and it should be corrected from the beginning of the quantitative change of things, so as not to cause incorrigible qualitative change consequences.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Huan Rong Ding Hong", Ding Hong was a famous Confucian in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was quite familiar with scriptures. At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the emperor inherited the throne, but the power of the court was in the hands of the Empress Dowager Dou. At the same time, Empress Dowager Dou's brother Dou Xianguan was a general, and the Dou family monopolized military and political power. Ding Hong was dissatisfied with the autocratic power of the Empress Dowager Dou and was determined to eliminate harm for the country. A few years later, a solar eclipse occurs. Ding Hong wrote to the emperor, pointing out that this was an ominous omen, lamenting the harm caused by the Dou clan to the country, and suggesting that the status quo should be changed quickly. Emperor Han He then removed Dou Xian's official position, and the Dou clan fell. In the recital, Ding Hong also said: "If the government is responsible and the germination is gradually prevented, the evil demon will be extinguished, and the harm will be eliminated."
