■Interpretation

can't make trouble, from a small aspect, it is "governing a big country like cooking a small fresh", and it can't be changed overnight; In a big way, it is "if the roots are not shaken, the branches and leaves will flourish", and the stability of the system should be maintained. Fearlessness, on the other hand, means that we should not shrink back or even change our views according to their ideas because some people criticize and question our development path. Comrade Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that the choice of a country's governance system is determined by the country's historical heritage, cultural traditions, and level of economic and social development, as well as by the country's people. On fundamental issues, we must have a proposition and determination. If we have the right one, we must be bold and clear-cut, analyze from our own perspective, draw our own conclusions, and then act according to our own judgment. On fundamental issues such as the development path and political system, it is necessary to "hold fast to the green mountains and not relax" in order to "let the wind blow from east to west, north and south."

The husband cannot make trouble for the country, nor can he be afraid of things. The disadvantages of fear are the same as life. For example, taking medicine when you are not sick or not taking medicine when you are sick can kill people. If the husband is in trouble, he is not sick and takes medicine. Those who are afraid of things are sick and do not take medicine. It is the request of Ali Bone, everyone knows that it should not be given, and the court gives it in order to be fine, but the beginning of the matter, and even this, is not much worse than being sick and not taking medicine? Now I want to make the Naxia people, it is that the disease is not eliminated and the medicine stops first, and it is related to geometry.

——(Northern Song Dynasty) Su Shi "On the Matter of the Western Qiang Xia People because of the Capture of Ghosts"

■Definition

This is the second year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1087) on September 8, Su Shi, then a scholar of the Hanlin Dynasty, wrote a recital to Song Zhezong on the affairs of Xiqiang and Western Xia.

In August of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty captured Guizhang, the leader of the Western Domain, who had colluded with the Western Xia, and sent him to Bianjing. This was the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty that the culprit of the enemy country was captured, and hundreds of officials congratulated him. Su Shi thought that this was very dangerous, and pointed out: "The opportunity for safety is today. If there is a way to deal with it, and there is a skill to deal with it, then the people will be at peace with the border, and it will start from the beginning. Otherwise, it is not surprising that they will be arrogant and lazy, and that victory will be a disaster. He put forward on the border defense policy of the Northern Song Dynasty: "You can't make trouble for the country, and you can't be afraid of things. This means that the governance of the country should neither cause trouble casually, nor be cowardly. Su Shi pointed out that if "life is done" and medicine is taken without illness, and "fear of things" is not taken if there is illness, they are both harmful and will kill people, and criticized the Northern Song Dynasty regime's missteps in handling foreign affairs. Su Shi intended to advise the imperial court to be cautious and serious, and not to make trouble for no reason; In case of trouble, you must not retreat, you must take the initiative.
