——Quoted in "Speech at the Celebration of the 65th Anniversary of the Founding of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference" and other articles

■Interpretation

The issue of "popular support" is a fundamental issue for a ruling party. This sentence in "Pipe" shows the complementary relationship between the people's will and the government. Comrade Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed that it is necessary to "take the hearts of the people as our hearts" and personally understand the aspirations of the people, the people's suffering, and the people's suffering. Clearly putting forward in theory and explicitly demanding in practice that the interests of the people should be taken as the starting point and the end result is where our party's fundamental political advantage lies. Turning over the history of struggle over the past 90 years, it is precisely because the word "people" has always been engraved on the party flag that our party has gained a deep soil and inexhaustible motivation. From the launch of the trolley of the victory of the Huaihai Campaign, to the passion of "I dedicate oil to the motherland" between the white mountains and black waters; From the red handprint on the "big package" contract to the civic consciousness displayed by the "Wenchuan Generation" and the "Bird's Nest Generation", the people have become the driving force and the source of wisdom for revolution, construction and reform. Today, in the face of the new expectations of the people for a better life, we must make persistent efforts to ensure that the fruits of development benefit all people in a more equitable manner, and make steady progress in the direction of common prosperity.

■Original text

The prosperity of the government is in accordance with the people's will; The abolition of government is against the will of the people. The people are evil and worried, and I am happy; The people are evil and poor, and I am rich; The people are in danger, and I am safe; The evil of the people is extinct, and I give birth to it. …… Therefore, from its four desires, those who are far away are self-professed; If they do the four evils, those who are close will rebel against them. Therefore, it is known that it is the one who takes it, and the treasure of politics is also.

——(Spring and Autumn) Guanzi "Guanzi, Herdsman, Sishun"

■Definition

"Guanzi" was written by a scholar under Qi Ji during the Warring States Period, and Guan Zhong's testament is contained in "Herdsman", "Situation", "Quan Xiu", "Riding a Horse" and other articles. The chapter "Herdsman" is about the management of people, and the "Four Shuns" discusses the way of governance from the hearts of the people to the back.

Guan Zi pointed out that the success or failure of the regime lies in the obedience of the people's will, and the implementation of government decrees lies in conforming to the will of the people; The reason why the decree is abolished is that it is contrary to the will of the people. Then he enumerated the "four evils" and "four desires" of the people, and put forward the thesis that if you follow their "four desires", you will be pro, and if you do your "four evils", you will rebel, and advocate the "four obedience".

The so-called "four evils" are "evil sorrow and labor", "evil poverty and cheapness", "evil danger and decline" and "evil extinction". Guan Zi analyzed human nature very thoroughly, and he saw that the people hated hardship, poverty, poverty, disasters, and family extinction, and longed for "happiness", "wealth", "survival" and "childbirth". Guan Zi believes that the way of "herdsmen" lies in the "four shuns", that is, to conform to the four wishes of the people, so that they can be comfortable and happy, rich and noble, stable in survival, and fertile and prospering. It can satisfy the "four desires" of the people, and those who are estranged will automatically get close to them; If the people are caught in the "four evils," those close to them will also betray and flee.

The idea of Guanzi is still instructive in contemporary times. Managers should conform to the people's hearts on the basis of understanding the "evil" and "desire" of their subordinates, so as to form a good management mechanism.
