——Quoted in "Zhijiang New Language, No Pseudo-Things, Pragmatic" and other articles

■Interpretation

The way of government is to work hard. Throughout the ages, everything has prospered in reality and failed in vain. To achieve all the dreams in the world, which one can be separated from hard work? Zhao Kuo of the Warring States period talked about the army on paper, so that 400,000 soldiers were buried alive; Yao Chong, the prime minister of the three dynasties of the Tang Dynasty, summed up his political experience before his death, and only said the words "Chongshi is substantial". During the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the scholars and doctors of the Southern Dynasties were up and down in the world, talking about waste affairs, advocating pure talk, yearning for metaphysics, and not doing practical work, which resulted in a corner of the Southern Dynasties being peaceful for hundreds of years, leaving a deep historical thought. Paying attention to implementation is the political nature of communists. "If you don't do it, you don't have the slightest bit of Marxism." They can only talk on paper without knowing how to unite with action, they are keen to talk about waste affairs without seeking truth and pragmatism, and they pursue formalism instead of being down-to-earth, and the result can only be that the major policies and policies fall short and the policies and measures become tasteless. Comrade Xi Jinping has always admired a sentence that "empty talk misleads the country, hard work rejuvenates the country", from the introduction of eight regulations and "anti-four winds", to personally grasp the mass line education and practice activities, all of them are "lies", "floating arts", "Chinese names" and "false things"; The style advocated by the atmosphere is also the style of "serving the people, being pragmatic and honest". "The peony flower is so empty, and the jujube flower is small and fruitful", which is a new realm of pragmatism.

■Original text

Those who are above are not allowed to lie about it, do not listen to floating arts, do not adopt fancy names, and do not engage in false things. Words must be useful, art must be exemplified, names must be substantial, and deeds must be meritorious.

——(Eastern Han Dynasty) Xun Yue "Shen Jian: Vulgar Suspicion"

■Definition

"Shen Jian" is a political and philosophical treatise by Xun Yue, a thinker in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. According to the legend of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Xun Yuezhi was the emperor of Kuang Fu Han, because Cao Cao took over the government, "it is useless to plan, but to make "Shenjian". It was intended to reiterate the lessons of history for the emperor to learn from. The book includes five articles: "Political System", "Current Affairs", "Vulgar Suspicion", "Miscellaneous Words" and "Miscellaneous Words". Among them, "Vulgar Suspicion" mainly criticizes the superstitions such as divination, taboos, prayers, fairy magic, and prophecy that are prevalent in the world.

"Do not lie to the truth, do not listen to floating tricks, do not adopt fancy names, and do not create false things" is the advice of the "above", that is, the ruler. It means not accepting false speech, not believing in vain skills, not adopting flashy names, and not engaging in false and fraudulent undertakings. In concise and clear language, the author uses four negative adverbs and verbs together to form a neat sentence structure that illustrates the correct position that the ruler should take, with a firm and unambiguous attitude. Xun Yue further proposed that the ruler of the country should "be useful in words, have a canon, be famous, and have meritorious", believing that words must produce practical results, methods must have standards and rules, reputation must be consistent with facts, and things must be confirmed by results. In this way, we can put an end to "false words", "floating arts", "Chinese names" and "false things".
