——Quoted in "The Key is Implementation" and other articles

■Interpretation

There is a couplet, the upper link is "you have a meeting, I have a meeting, everyone has a meeting", the lower link is "you send a document, I send a document, everyone sends a document", and the horizontal criticism is "who will implement". Comrade Xi Jinping quoted this couplet to criticize the disadvantages of not grasping implementation, and emphasized the concept of "doing things for the political elite". During the Warring States Period, Zhao Kuo could only talk about the army on paper, so that the 400,000 Zhao army was wiped out, leaving behind the historical lesson of empty talk and empty talk about mistreating the country. Opposing empty talk, emphasizing solid work, and attaching importance to implementation is a fine tradition of our party, and it is also the key to our party's ability to continuously lead the people to win new victories in revolution, construction, and reform. Comrade Xi Jinping put forward the requirements of "three stricts and three realities" for leading cadres, starting with strict words and starting with real words, emphasizing that "seeking things must be real, starting a business must be real, and being a real person must be real", and a "real" runs through all aspects of official power, and believes that whether it can be governed by reality is an important demonstration of our party's ability to govern, and it is also an important test of the work ability of leading cadres at all levels. Avoid empty words and flashes.

■Original text

However, if there is a cure that cannot be cured, it will be cured by the facts, and it will not be cured by the text. If you use literature in vain, such as the drama of good couples, dressing up and speaking, and distinguishing things, all of them are inconsistent, but how can it be true!

——(Qing) Tang Zhen "Hidden Books: Quan Shi"

■Definition

The book was written by Tang Zhen (1630-1704), a thinker in the early Qing Dynasty, and the author claimed to have accumulated 30 years. Tang Zhen said to himself: "I don't worry about the world, but I don't know what the people of the world do." Depressed in the middle, it is not a last resort, and it is a word. "The style imitates the pre-Qin princes, and the original name is "Hengshu", which is intended to weigh the world; However, the author did not meet the problem, so it was changed to "Hidden Book", which means that it is hidden and ready to be used.

Tang Zhen is not only an outstanding thinker, but also a successful practitioner. When he was the magistrate of Changzi County, Shanxi, in order to mobilize the people to plant mulberry and raise silkworms, he not only did door-to-door persuasion work, but also took the lead in demonstration. As a result, a paper notice was not issued, and more than 80 mulberry plants were planted within 30 days. His successful experience is to "do what you do for the government". Tang Zhen believes that the document notice is only "to understand words, to be prepared to forget, and to ridicule the content", so he proposed: "Treat with facts, and not with words." "Practical, is to work hard, to do things in a down-to-earth manner. Tang Zhen believes that the most important thing for government is to take practical actions, so that the world can be peaceful; Otherwise, there will be no peace for the people. Tang Zhen's point of view was mainly put forward in response to the drawbacks of the proliferation of official documents and the failure of orders in the officialdom at that time, and it was not a blanket denial of the role of issuing proclamations to push administrative orders. He believes that if we only issue documents and do not ask about implementation, the result can only be that "hundreds of posts are not cultivated, ordinary affairs are not raised, treachery is flourishing, prohibitions are becoming more and more complicated, and disputes over minor matters must be abandoned by political commissars." Official notices are plastered all over the streets and alleys like empty letters.
