-- "Speech at the Symposium with Team Members and Representatives of Cadres and Workers of Various Units of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee" and other articles

■Interpretation

"A thousand threads above, a needle below", many people describe their own work. However, no matter how difficult and complex it is, it can also be broken down; No matter how many things you have, you can analyze them in detail. Comrade Xi Jinping also quoted "The movement of Dapeng is not the lightness of a feather; The speed of Qiji is not the strength of one foot", which also emphasizes that whether it is to run documents and meetings, or to implement the deployment of superiors, we should be meticulous, rigorous and meticulous, keep improving, see the spirit in the subtleties, and show the level between the details. As the Western proverb goes, "Rome was not built in a day", it can be said that it is the same thing. A skyscraper is inseparable from the cohesion of every brick and every steel bar; The light in the room is also inseparable from the light of every candle. To be a man, to seek a job, and to start a business, you should have this ability not to give up on the smallest things. If you grab your beard and eyebrows in trouble, you will disrupt the rhythm and lose your rules. Therefore, cadres and officials should maintain the attitude of treading on thin ice as if they were on the edge of the abyss, adhere to the bottom-line thinking, exhaust all possible situations, and cover the details that are easy to ignore, so that they can do good things well and do practical things.

■Original text

Tangible and the like, the big must start from the small; What has been done for a long time, the clan will start from few. Therefore, it is said: "The difficult things in the world must be done in the easy, and the big things in the world must be done in detail." "It is the one who wants to make things in its fineness. Therefore, it is said: "The picture is more difficult than its easy, and it is greater than its fineness." "The embankment of a thousand feet collapses with the nest of ants; A hundred-foot room, burned with a crevice. …… This is all prudent and easy to take refuge, and respectful to the ambitious.

——(Warring States) Han Feizi "Han Feizi Yu Lao"

■Definition

"Han Feizi" is a masterpiece of the pre-Qin Legalist doctrine. His "Yu Lao" chapter uses historical stories and folklore to illustrate Lao Tzu's thoughts. In this article, Han Feizi elevates the specific experience of political struggle in reality to a philosophical level, making it of universal significance.

In the above passage, Han Feizi explained that "the picture is more difficult than easy, and it is greater than its fineness." Difficult things in the world must be done easily; The great things in the world must be done in detail". For this reason, he gave a negative example to demonstrate: "The embankment of a thousand feet collapses with the nest of ants; A hundred-foot room, burned with a crack". Crack: A crack in a chimney. (biāo): Bursting flames. It means that the thousand-foot-long embankment has burst due to the small hole of the ants; A hundred-foot-tall house burned down by sparks from cracks in the chimney. If you don't pay attention to eliminating hidden dangers in small places, you will eventually cause a big disaster. This is the origin of the idiom "a thousand miles of embankment, collapse in an anthill". Han Feizi concluded from this: "It is easy to take refuge with prudence, and it is easy to be cautious and ambitious." "Be cautious about what is easy to avoid difficulties, and be careful about small loopholes to stay away from big calamities. Details determine success or failure, and only by not bullying the subtleties can we move towards success and brilliance.
