Take the method from the top, only get the middle; Take the law in the middle, so it is the next.
——"Speech at the Enlarged Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Lankao County Party Committee in Henan Province" and other articles
■Interpretation
The standard is a mirror. If the standards are higher and the requirements are stricter, the "resolution" of the mirror will be higher, and those "problems that are not problems" can be fully realized. Whether it is in educational practice activities or in ordinary work, standards determine quality, and what kind of standards there are, what kind of quality there is. It is precisely for this reason that Comrade Xi Jinping emphasized that "a high standard of work is a driving force". With high standards, everyone will demand themselves with such standards; And once the standards are relaxed, it is easy to plummet. As Comrade Xi Jinping quoted this old saying, what kind of standard is established determines what kind of results are achieved. Over the years, there have been many documents and systems aimed at improving the style of work, but why are the "four winds" still popular in some places? The reason is that the standards are not high and the implementation is not strict. Therefore, in the educational practice activities, we must adhere to high standards and strict requirements, so that "the husband is only sick, but not sick" -- because only by paying attention to the prevention and treatment of diseases can we not get sick.
■Original text
The ancients had a saying: It is not difficult to know, but it is not easy to do. It can be done, but it is difficult in the end. He is the king of riots, not alone in the evil path; The Lord of the Sages is not alone in good deeds. Good is far away and difficult to follow, and evil is close and easy to practice. The villain submits to the easy, and cannot do the difficulty, so the disaster will be defeated. The gentleman is difficult to deal with, and he is not able to live in it, so he is blessed and happy. ...... ——(Tang) Li Shimin "Emperor Fan"
■Definition
"Emperor Fan" is a political document written by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, which was written in the 22nd year of Zhenguan (648). Li Shimin told the crown prince Li Zhi: "The way to explain politics is all in it, and once I don't say anything, I have nothing to say." "Bu Shi: a euphemism for death. In the book, Tang Taizong made insightful expositions on the personal cultivation of politicians, the knowledge of selecting and controlling subordinates, and even the economic, people's livelihood, education, military and other affairs.
"Take the law from the top, only for the middle; Take the law in the middle, so it is the next. Meaning: as a criterion, only moderate results can be obtained; If you use medium as a criterion, you can only receive an inferior effect. The following interpretation of the text of the "Siku Quanshu" is: "Confucius said: Take the law from the sky and follow it, and Si is the top." Yan and Meng took the law from Confucius and approached it, so that they could get it. Later Confucianism was taken from Yan and Meng, and it was subordinate. If it is under it, what is the law? For Confucianism, Confucius, Yanzi, and Mencius, and for the monarch, he should take the law from Yao, Shun, and King Wen. Yan Yu, a literary critic of the Southern Song Dynasty, also had a similar exposition in "Canglang Poems": "Learn from it, only get it; Learn from it, Si is the next step. It can be seen that whether it is a matter of doing things or studying, we must broaden our horizons and set high standards, so as to achieve the expected goals.
