From historical experience, we can know that the best way to attack a person is to start from the two aspects of money and sex, because you cannot clearly explain the two points of embezzlement and lust, and no matter what you say, people will have doubts. The best way to attack a country is to start with democracy and freedom, because the people and the government are two social roles, as long as democracy and freedom are advocated in everything, people will slowly form anarchism, and there will be dissatisfaction and hostility toward the national government, and the people and the government will be turned into opposition, and the purpose of the attack will naturally be achieved. So what is democracy? First of all, we must know the concept of these two words, because there are some bad media under the control of capitalists in society that often steal concepts, play readers as monkeys, and advocate the people's individual democracy and freedom to the supreme position, resulting in the proliferation of anarchism before it is called democracy. It is simply putting on the cloak of democracy and doing things with bad intentions, which is really disgusting. Just imagine, you have your democracy, I have my freedom, democracy and freedom are different, everyone is intolerable, anyway, not illegal, social values conflict, tearing each other apart, the people and the government will naturally contradict each other, such a society is like a pile of, think of it is disgusting, even if there is more capital and law coverup on the outside, it will not help. So don't misunderstand the concept of democracy. Democracy means that a country's major policies and ruling principles should be based on the people, in short, it means that everything takes the people to live better as the starting point and foothold. It's like a teacher to the students, both to teach you knowledge and teach you to be a person, care about taking care of your growth, so that your future life is more exciting, and everything you do, there is no selfishness. For thousands of years, we have had various political systems, but in fact, although the systems are different, the principle of foreign governance is the idea of "the people are the mainstay, the monarch is the lightest", which is true democracy, unlike western countries, which on the surface advocates freedom and democracy for everyone, but in essence, the rulers listen to the capitalists, and politics is really autocratic. Today I would like to take a look at the history of our country in the Yu Shun era and see what a truly democratic country looks like. What is the inheritance of Yu Shunshi and modern society? What historical experiences are useful to our readers?
First, accept Emperor Yao's concessions and take up the burden of managing the world
Earlier, when I read the history of Di Yao, I wrote an article "From the Perspective of History: How Difficult It Is to Find a Successor!" In the article, it specifically talked about how Di Yao tried Yu Shun, and finally Shun passed the examination of moral integrity, and Di Yao handed over the world to him to manage. It was not easy, but Di Yao did that for the sake of the world.
Second, Qi Qizheng, observe the elephant and give time first
As soon as Shun came to power, the first thing was to solve the problem of eating, so he first worked agriculture, observed astronomy, and constantly improved the knowledge of farming, so that the people could produce more things. At present, China's Central Document No. 1 does not know whether you have read or studied it? Is the "three rural issues" being placed in the top priority? yes. This is the experience of history; the grain problem must be taken seriously; in peacetime, it is possible to import grain if we have money in the economy, but when the international environment becomes worse or when the international environment is in turmoil, when the economy is depressed, problems will arise by relying on imports, people will not be able to eat cheap grain, society will be chaotic, there will be big problems, and money will not solve the problem. Therefore, the phrase "the people take food as the sky" should not be understood as people are foodies!
3. Order nine officials, and set up slanderous wood
From the perspective of management, Shun is also a powerful leader, according to the actual situation of the country, the establishment of nine ministers will manage all aspects of the country well, and he can lead these nine ministers well. From the nine official positions, look at how Shun built the national governance system: first of all, he ordered Dayu to be Sikong, which is roughly equivalent to the minister of water conservancy, land, and construction, and to be the chief administrator; the order "abandoned" as Houji, responsible for agriculture; "Qi" as Situ, responsible for education and education; Gao Tao as a scholar, responsible for criminal law; Hanging as a co-worker, responsible for production technology, craftsmanship, weapons, etc.; Yi Weiyu, who was responsible for the mountain Ze; Bo Yi zuo zhizong, in charge of the ceremonial order; Gong for dian le, responsible for liturgical music; Long Wei Na Yan, responsible for the cash of the king's order. It can be seen that Shun has also moved Yao's set of official systems, which is a very powerful political system construction. It can be seen from this that the top-level design considers the matters of protecting the people, raising the people, and educating the people. Not only to ensure security and maintain order, but also to support the people for a long time and educate the people, so as to improve the people's lives and enhance the morality of the people. This is the essence of politics and true democracy. If you read these histories, you will have to look for the current system design in our country, and you will understand that for thousands of years, no matter how the form of government has changed and how the name has changed, its essence has been democracy. What you can learn from it depends on everyone's wisdom.
Shunli slandered wood, which is a very admirable act, and only the Chinese cultural spirit can have such a thing. Western culture is based on the spirit of contract, and it is very problematic to get everything behind it to take the law as the criterion, not to say that the law is not good, but that the social infrastructure construction should have a warm and moral side, the law is easy to overdo it, the original intention has changed, it has become illegal, rather than benefiting the people, becoming indifferent and ruthless, once the development of such a society has problems, everyone protects themselves, the views and values conflict, the society only has the fate of constant tearing, and the people living in it are bitter. At present, the new crown epidemic is a mirror that not only illuminates the ugly true face of the western political system capital dictatorship, but also allows the world to see the true democratic facts of the Chinese system with 5,000 years of civilization history experience. Thousands of years ago, Shun Li slandered the wood so that the whole world could attack it; the drum of daring to advise the world made the world do its best. In this way, it is really admirable to be widely heard and to seek talents. You must know that the world is big, people are fearful, if Shun is not anxious for the people, and does his best for the people, even if he cuts down the forest in the world, it is estimated that it will not be enough to slander the wood. Here, if we think about the current people's congress system, is it also for the people of the world to make suggestions and suggestions? Yes, this is how history has passed down good things, and the great principle of serving the people has not changed for thousands of years, and it will not change in the future, because this is the gene of our culture and the experience of history, and only in this way will the country be in long-term peace and stability.
Fourth, make a five-stringed violin, the poem of the southern wind
Shun made the five-stringed violin, not for fun, unlike today, most people forget the essence of music, take music as a pastime, and even listen to the sound of silence everywhere, whining and mourning! Shun plays the five-stringed violin, sings the poems of the southern wind, to relieve the people's sorrow, and to the wealth of the people. Poetry can make people "think innocently", that is, to edify people, make people good, make people happy, this is the original intention of music to be promoted, not for entertainment! Shun also used poetry to teach people how to live a rich life, which is really remarkable.
Five, three years of performance appraisal, three examinations of Youming
Three years of performance appraisal, three exams dethroned Youming, what does it mean? That is, the employment should have a three-year probationary period, a three-year probationary period, to see if the results are passed, and to decide to stay. Three examinations of Youming, that is to say, after three years of passing the pass, there is a re-examination, to see how your character ability as an official is, rewards and punishments are clear, character ability is no problem to continue to use you, if there is a problem, it is to be punished, not to be dismissed, otherwise the officials are thinking of "big deal to lose the official", to punish, for example, you have been an official for nine years, the character is good, but nine years without achievements, inaction, it is also a heavy punishment, if you have a problem with your character, then let alone a big punishment. This system design is very powerful, whether it is to manage the country or corporate governance, this set of employment methods are very scientific. Because after nine years, your character and talent, the gains and losses of your work can be clearly seen, and then reward and punish, it is very good.
Sixth, draw the scoop according to the gourd, and give the Zen position to Emperor Yu
Shun ordered Dayu to cure the water, and after success, he did not immediately pass the throne to him, but also to cultivate him to try to assess his ability in all aspects of moral integrity, and finally passed the examination to give him the Zen position. Emperor Yu was also a man of both moral integrity and ability, and Xu Hongfan's nine domains and conquest of the mountains were all excellently accomplished. In the end, Yu was also the same as Shun in those years, although Shun wanted to give him the throne of Zen, but when he saw that Shun still had a son, he avoided leaving his hometown, and later the princes of the world did not recognize Shun's son but recognized Yu as the co-lord of the world. This kind of scientific and democratic connotation of Zen, as well as the cultural spirit of Zen, is not available in Western countries, and they should study our historical experience and cultivate this cultural spirit in society, so that their parliament will have fewer cases of throwing eggs, scolding, and fighting, haha.
At this point today, the experience of history lies in the people and things of history, and only when you have a good understanding of it will you be able to read history wisely.
