Those who are not new will retire every day.

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

■Interpretation

At present, in China, to do a good job in propaganda and ideological work, innovation is an essential requirement. Changeable technology, diverse interests, diverse concepts...... Let us face an unprecedented public opinion environment. What worked in the past may not be effective now; What was unfashionable in the past may be imperative now; What was insurmountable in the past now needs to be broken through, which is why Comrade Xi Jinping stressed that propaganda and ideological work "need innovation more than ever." If the technology you use is not as advanced as others, how can you grasp the mainstream in the midst of all the complexity? If you don't take the approach as effective as others, how can you strengthen your guidance in the midst of the noise? If you don't have the same ideas as others, how can you dominate diversity? To do a good job in propaganda and ideological work, we must not cling to the defects and be complacent, we must spit out the old and embrace the new, keep pace with the times, and only by winning the initiative in innovation can the propaganda and ideological work answer the examination questions of the times.

The learning of a gentleman must be renewed, and those who are new will advance day by day. Those who do not renew will retreat every day, and those who do not go forward will not retreat.

——(Northern Song Dynasty) Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi "Ercheng Collection: Henan Cheng's Testament, Volume 25"

■Definition

"Ercheng", that is, the brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, the two of them founded "Luoxue" and were the founders of science in the Northern Song Dynasty. "Ercheng Collection" is a collection of all the works of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, among which the "suicide note" is the Ercheng quotations recorded by the disciples, which were later comprehensively compiled by Zhu Xi.

"The learning of a gentleman must be new every day, and those who are new will advance every day. Those who are not new will retreat every day, and there will be no one who will not retreat", is Cheng Yi's words. He believes that a gentleman's learning must be renewed, and every new day means that every day must make progress. Zhang Boxing, a Qing scholar, explained: "A gentleman is also a learner, and he must work hard to make new opportunities from the old to the new, so that his gains will be new day by day." …… If it is not renewed, it is that the heart is interrupted, and selfish desires are multiplied, and if you are not faint, you will be tired, and the day will retreat. Those who have not fallen from half of the top, who can stand and do not retreat. This is the same as "learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat" in the "Zengguang Xianwen", which expounds the importance of enterprising.

In the ever-changing modern society, which is in a rapidly changing state, in order to keep up with the rhythm of the times, it is necessary to be aggressive, forge ahead, and keep pace with the times.
