——"Speech at the National Conference on Propaganda and Ideological Work" and other articles

■Interpretation

When discussing propaganda and ideological work, Comrade Xi Jinping stressed that we should have a "sense of position". He pointed out that if we do not occupy the propaganda and ideological front, others will occupy it. At present, it is necessary to grasp the work of public opinion on the Internet as the most important task in propaganda and ideological work. This is because the development of the Internet has profoundly changed the pattern of public opinion and expanded the propaganda and ideological front, which is an important variable in China at present. He quoted this old proverb to warn propaganda and ideological workers that in the work of public opinion on the Internet, they should not use old methods that are ineffective or inefficient, but should create new means to solve the problem of "panic in skills" and truly become experts in using new means and methods of modern media. Therefore, it is necessary to deeply analyze the characteristics and laws of online public opinion work, and find out the similarities and differences with past propaganda and ideological work, so that we can do a good job in a targeted manner.

■Original text

There are rights and wrongs in all parts of the world, and I dare not accuse. Those who are often are, and those who are not are often not, and I believe in them. However, although it is always true, sometimes it is not used; It is not always wrong, but sometimes it must be done. Therefore, the use is lost, and there is a way; There is something to be done. The reason for right and wrong is different, and it is more prosperous and wasteful, and it is turned into a non-existent one? Guan Yao, Shun, Tang, Wu Zhicheng, or Shun or Reverse, when the time comes, it will be prosperous; The defeat of the ruined, the sloppy, the secluded, or the bad, the loss of time is the death. The same is true of the Lord of the Five Uncles.

——(Warring States) Yin Wenzi "Yin Wenzi on the Avenue"

■Definition

"Yin Wenzi" is said to be written by Yin Wenzi, a representative of the Jixia School of Qi during the Warring States Period.

When discussing the issue of right and wrong, Yin Wenzi advocated that "those who are right are always right, and those who are not are often not", that is, admitting that the right and wrong of everything has an objective criterion for its existence. "But though it is always true, sometimes it is not used; It is not always wrong, but sometimes it must be done. Therefore, the use is lost, and there is a way; He believes that with the change of the objective situation or the continuous development of the situation, the standard of right and wrong will also change, and the original correct is often no longer applicable, and the original wrong must be adopted. If people's perception does not change with the change of the situation, and they still stick to their original views, they may suffer a terrible failure. After that, he cited historical examples such as "Yao, Shun, Tang, Wu" and "Ji, Xuan, You, and Li", as well as the battle of Hongshui in Song Chu, the struggle between Xiaobai and Gongzi to establish Qi Jun, and the killing of Huaigong by Duke Wen of Jin to stand on his own, showing that "gaining time" and "losing time" are the key to prosperity or death. Yin Wenzi believes that any undertaking that meets the requirements of the development of the times will be prosperous; Otherwise, it will lead to destruction. Mr. Gao Liushui, the translator of "Yin Wenzi", believes that Yin Wenzi's simple dialectical thinking has the significance of historical progress, but his summary of the development and changes of social history is only a superficial phenomenon and should be scientifically analyzed.
