——"Speech at the Second Plenary Session of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" and other articles

■Interpretation

Comrade Xi Jinping quoted this passage to say that comprehensively deepening reform should be based on the policies of the central authorities. The decision of the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, with 60 major items and more than 180 items, has set a timetable and roadmap for comprehensively deepening reform, which is the most feasible path and the most important rule. If we can achieve "symmetry between the top and bottom" and stress rules and laws, reform will certainly be able to continue to push forward.

For reform, Comrade Xi Jinping also attaches great importance to "rule of law thinking" and "rule of law methods", and regards them as the basic requirements for leading cadres at all levels to promote reform. He also stressed that all major reforms must be "based on the law." This old saying illustrates this reform methodology. If we do not pay attention to the rules and ignore the rule of law, how can we promote social fairness, stimulate social vitality, and let all the sources of innovation and entrepreneurship fully flow?

■Original text

The government of chaos is said to be a combination of provincial officials, and the quality of the document is also good. If the husband is endless, there will be chaos; If you don't cut down, you will become a demon. If the husband is not correct in the three outlines, and the six disciplines are ignored, there will be chaos. Therefore - (Three Kingdoms, Shu Han) Zhuge Liang "Cheap Sixteen Strategies, Twelfth Chaos Control"

■Definition

"Sixteen Cheap Strategies" is a military book written by Zhuge Liang, which puts forward a series of principles and methods for governing the country and the army from 16 aspects, so it is called "16 Policies".

"Controlling Chaos" is the twelfth strategy in "Sixteen Cheap Strategies". Zhuge Liang expounded the strategy of governing the country from the aspects of discipline, succession, distance and proximity, internal and external, root and end, strength and weakness, size, and self. He believes that in order to deal with chaotic administration, it is necessary to eliminate redundant officials, eliminate unsuccessful posts, and prevent idle and useless officials from gathering together and endangering government affairs. If the Three Principles and Six Disciplines are abolished, there will be chaos. To this end, he proposed: "Those who govern the country do not lose their rules, they do not lose their rules, they do not lose their rules, they do not lose their ways, everything can be done, and their merits can be guaranteed." He believes that governing the country, there are no rules and no circle, the foundation is established without losing the end, and the government cannot be separated from the system of reason and law, so that everything can be achieved and the achievements can be maintained for a long time. He advocated the use of law to regulate the behavior of the people and maintain social order.

It can be seen from this that Zhuge Liang inherited and implemented the Legalist line. The novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" depicts Zhuge Liang, who has always had the style of a Legalist, as a half-immortal character who is prosperous and unified, clever and calculating, and also Confucian and Taoist. Rereading the classics can restore the true appearance of historical figures.
