Teacher Wen Tiejun's interpretation of "Guoren"

Teacher Wen Tiejun's interpretation of "Guoren"

Elder Wen is the most daring and qualified expert of the three rural areas that I know, and he has first changed from "passive practice active reflection" to "active practice active reflection" for decades, and truly achieved "practice out of true knowledge". Continuing Liang Shuming's "Centennial Township Construction", he initiated the participation of the public in sustainable agricultural production, put forward the theory of three lives, and opened the great practical activity of "Guoren Township Construction".

The reason for taking "Guoren", Elder Wen's explanation is that the "country" is also the domain of the living people' settlement. Because there are sentient beings who encourage and maintain the realm of being born in Si and dying in Si, they bow down and do not dare to destroy, so that the country survives and the history and culture can be inherited. "Benevolent" people "love others". Since ancient times, people relied on resources and environmental settlements to live, neighbors watched, etiquette and righteousness were learned, and "self-denial and benevolence" became the foundation of a thousand-year-old country. Elder Wen believes that only by being eclectic, inclusive and symbiotic among various social groups based on multiculturalism can the historic sustainability of Chinese civilization be realized and extended for thousands of years.

However, in the development of society so far, the past "self-denial and retribution for benevolence" has evolved into "indulging oneself in rituals and evil", and the resources and environment on which human beings depend for their survival have been destroyed and become unsustainable because of human greed. This made the experts and scholars represented by the elderly generation of Liang Shuming to the elderly Wen all feel sad, and they said and did what they said, went forward and followed, opened the Chinese rural construction movement, and promoted China's "ecological civilization" to roll forward.

Elder Wen said, "The Tao gives birth to all things, and the great virtue is moderate." Good is like water, and the people's livelihood is great. There is a way to stand, and the elephant is invisible. From it, the crowd, the loud voice of the voice. "As a true portrayal of the rural construction movement under the guidance of a century of reform thinking." It means that Guoren pursues the ideological realm of "Daodao, Darun, Elephant, and Dayin".

Elder Wen insisted on the "three rural areas" of the "trinity", that is, "the production of farmers and the livelihood of families are integrated, the diversified economy of the countryside and the diversity of the natural world are integrated, and the economic process of agriculture is integrated with the natural process of animals and plants." Elder Wen believes that this is the area with the greatest positive externalities that human society must rely on to turn to ecological civilization, and it is also the last carrier of the country's comprehensive security.

Despite the difficulties in practicing this theory, Elder Wen repeated the phrase "existence is everything" many times at low tide.
