■Interpretation

The so-called "time" is not only "time" and "location", but also "people". Comrade Xi Jinping quoted this sentence in "Xunzi" precisely to show that our party insists on choosing its own path independently, and the broad masses support and embrace, and we should have such self-confidence. The "Chinese road" is the road that hundreds of millions of people have walked out; The "Chinese miracle" is a miracle written by hundreds of millions of people. Our system construction and road choice are based on this profound public opinion. As long as the party's attitude toward some fundamental issues is clear-cut and the masses are clear, all kinds of incorrect ideas will naturally become untenable. If the party's attitude is not clear, the masses will be leaderless and at a loss. Whether it is the fundamental system of the country or the development ideas of the locality, only by thinking clearly, explaining clearly, and creating a good opportunity for "the right time, the right place and the right people" can we truly implement and implement it.

■Original text

The gentleman, the good group also. When the group is in the way, everything is suitable, the six animals are all long, and the group of animals is their life. Therefore, when it is raised, it is raised by six animals; When killing, the plants and trees are cultivated; ——(Warring States) Xunzi "Xunzi Monarchy"

■Definition

"Xunzi Monarchy" records the rules and regulations of the monarch governing the world. In the above passage, Xunzi expounded on how to correctly handle the relationship between man, society and nature in order to achieve its balanced and coordinated development.

Xunzi thinks: "The monarch is also good." "Jun, that is, the person who is good at organizing the people and making them gather around him, is a monarch who "wins the hearts of the people". The use of "group" to explain "jun" is called sound training in exegesis, that is, to use phonetically similar words to explain and reveal the homology between words. "When the group is right, everything is suitable, the six animals are all long, and the group of animals is their life." That is to say, if it is organized in the right way, then everything can be arranged properly, the six animals can multiply, and all living things can enjoy life. What does it mean to be a "group leader"? Xunzi thinks: "Therefore, when it is raised, it is six animals; When killing, the plants and trees are cultivated; When the government decrees, the people are one, and the virtuous and virtuous are served. "Time: At the right time. It means that when livestock is raised, the six animals will prosper; When cutting down and planting is right, the grass and trees will flourish; When the decree is promulgated, the people will be unified, and only those who have virtue and ability will be happy and convinced. Xunzi emphasized that in dealing with the relationship between man, society and nature, we must follow the "times".
