■Interpretation

The interests of the masses are no trivial matter. To serve the masses and connect with the masses, we must not ignore those so-called "small things". On Jinggang Mountain, the "three disciplines and eight points of attention" stipulate that the masses should not take a needle and a thread and a sweet potato, which has become the key to cohesion. Where does the trust and support of the masses come from? It is from these small things that serve the people, from these bits and pieces of relieving the people's worries. Today, when the ship of reform sails in deep waters, it is especially important to remember this glorious tradition. Comrade Xi Jinping noticed that in the educational practice activities, some comrades either think that "the activity is far away from me", or only shine a flashlight on others and not on themselves, thinking that there is no major problem with themselves, and they feel good about themselves, have a weak attitude, and do not have a strong sense of participation. Therefore, he proposed that it is necessary to enhance ideological understanding, strictly measure the scale, and the major and minor matters related to the interests of the masses should be meticulous to the level of "silky hair" and "millimile", just like holding a microscope to look at the people's livelihood and suffering, and look at the stubborn diseases of the "four winds." In this way, some problems that have not been seen clearly will be seen clearly, and some problems that have not attracted attention in the past will be taken seriously, so that we can do better things that benefit the people and eliminate the diseases of the people.

The sage rules the world, and the things that benefit the people will be prosperous; The affairs of the people must be gone. The endowment of the city, and the people are even stronger. Zhou metric ceremony, its willingness to write in the book as a common law? In the past, Wang Zhiqi was ridiculed and not levied. King Wu has the world, and he will remain the same. …… Make endowment and close the city, rather than horizontally? I thought I knew that "Zhou Guan" was not made by Zhou Gong, and I decided it!

——(Qing) Vanceda, "Zhou Guan's Distinction from Non-Heavenly Officials"

■Definition

The Qing Dynasty scholar Wan Sida (1633-1683) wrote The Distinction between Zhou Officials and Non-Confessions, which is a work that strongly proves that the Zhou Rites are forged. "Zhou Guan", also known as "Zhou Li", the author is unknown, written in the last years of the Warring States period, is a compilation of administrative law norms. In order to demonstrate the falsity of "Zhou Guan", Vance put forward an argument: "The rule of the saint in the world, the matter of benefiting the people, the silk hair will be prosperous; The affairs of the people must be gone. It means that the way used by the saints to govern the world is to implement whatever is beneficial to the people, no matter how small; Things that are harmful to the people, no matter how small, must be eliminated. And the "Fu of the City" in the nine endowments of "Zhou Li Tianguan" is the most harmful to the people. Therefore, "Zhou Guan" is not a certainty made by Zhou Gong. Here, Vance took "benefiting the people" as the value standard of the ruling country, which has the positive significance of the people-oriented thinking.

Huang Zongxi, a teacher of Vance and a thinker during the Ming and Qing dynasties, advocated: "Do not take one's own interests as benefits, but let the world benefit from them; Do not harm one's own harm, but let the world release its harm. Qian Yong in the middle and late Qing Dynasty advocated: "If the world is beneficial to the people, it should be thick and deep; Those who are harmful to the people should be uprooted and plugged into the source. Vance's idea of "benefiting the people" played a role in connecting the past and the future. With the development of the times, the idea of benefiting the people in traditional Chinese people-humanism has been deepened and gradually demonstrated its own value.
