Hao Xuguang: The Great Wall of Materials and the Great Wall of Heart
(Source: "Shanghai Securities News"2015Year01month30日）
Someone once lamented after visiting the Great Wall that the Great Wall is material, but material impregnability is far inferior to the people's hearts. The Great Wall in the heart is truly indestructible. This is really one-sided. Because the strength of a country requires a high degree of balance among the people, the economy, and the military, neither can be neglected.
The author visited the Jinshanling Great Wall during the golden autumn season last year, which is famous for its majesty, danger, wonder and beauty. In the past, I had only seen the descriptions of predecessors about the various features of the Jinshanling Great Wall. Now I am immersed in w88 login, and I really feel that the majesty and elegance are flying together, and the precipitousness is wonderfully integrated. While I was shocked, two lines of Emperor Kangxi's poems suddenly popped into my mind: "But the majestic pass preserves the old traces", "But the shape is better than the majestic mountains and rivers", which made me feel a lot of emotion.
Management is a system. For management, we cannot understand w88 login mechanically and blind people feel the elephant. For example, after visiting the Great Wall, someone once lamented that the Great Wall is material, but the material is far less impregnable than the people's hearts. The Great Wall in the heart is truly indestructible. This is really one-sided. Because the strength of a country requires a high degree of balance among the people, the economy, and the military, neither can be neglected.
w88 login is certainly not enough to be economically backward, but w88 login is definitely not possible to have no support from the people. There is no need to explain this truth. However, if one pursues economic prosperity without considering national defense, w88 login is certain that the country will never have long-term peace and stability. And if there is no long-term peace and stability in the country, how much benefit and happiness can economic prosperity bring to the people? There have been many times in China's history when its economy prospered but was beaten. For example, the Song Dynasty was economically prosperous but was destroyed by the economically backward Yuan Dynasty. w88 login will definitely not work to develop the economy in isolation without popular support. After the Ming Dynasty experienced the "Yongle prosperous age" and the "Renxuan rule", the country became strong and powerful, and all nations came to the dynasty. Known in history as "governing the Tang and Song Dynasties" and "far reaching the Han and Tang Dynasties", the Ming Dynasty's economic and military output were much stronger than that of the Jurchens. However, in the later period, the people and the army were disorganized. Wu Sangui, the guard of the Great Wall at Shanhaiguan, led the Qing troops, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. The economy of the Qing Dynasty was extremely prosperous during the so-called "prosperity" of the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties. However, the once-invincible Eight Banners soldiers were greedy for pleasure and did not want to make progress, and became increasingly corrupt. Moreover, official corruption was serious, and they lost the support of the people. Their military theory and technology were also greatly outdated. Without popular support and only economic prosperity represented by silk, tea, porcelain, etc., how could w88 login resist the might of the West?
One-sided emphasis on people's support without a strong national defense cannot guarantee the prosperity of the country. Among all the dynasties in China, the Song Dynasty had the most relaxed policies. At the end of most of the dynasties, due to land annexation, disparity between rich and poor, exorbitant taxes and layer upon layer of exploitation, the people were deprived of their livelihood, and then they rose up and ignited the fire of destruction. The Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings in the Qin Dynasty, the Red Eyebrow Green Forest Uprising after Wang Mang usurped power in the Western Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Army in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wagang Uprising in the Sui Dynasty, the Huang Chao Uprising in the late Tang Dynasty, the Red Turban Army Uprising in the Yuan Dynasty, the Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong uprisings in the Ming Dynasty, and the Taiping Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty. They were all uprisings that swept the country because farmers had no way to survive and "the government forced the people to rebel". Only in the Song Dynasty, there was no nationwide peasant uprising. The early Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun uprisings, the Fangla uprising in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao uprisings in the Southern Song Dynasty were all small-scale. Moreover, the ancestral motto of the Northern Song Dynasty was not to kill scholars, which was unique among Chinese dynasties. The level of economic development in the Northern Song Dynasty was also extremely high, and the cultural level reached the pinnacle of Chinese history. However, the Northern Song Dynasty was weak and poor, and its military power began to decline sharply in the Taizong Dynasty (the second generation). As a result, Xixia became bigger, and there was a powerful Liao Kingdom in the north. Moreover, the two Song Dynasties actually wanted to "sui coins" from Liao, Xixia, Jin, etc. Therefore, making the country rich and its military strong, its people rich, its national defense strong, and people's livelihood improved, mutually reinforcing each other. We must pay attention to and be tough on all three aspects.
People’s happiness and security are closely linked. Without national defense, how can we live and work in peace and contentment? What’s the point of having a strong national defense without living and working in peace and contentment? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was very fond of military achievements and was aggressive in military affairs. His army had extremely strong combat effectiveness. But the economy was in recession and people's livelihood was difficult, and they were still quickly overthrown. Another example is the former Soviet Union, which devoted all its efforts to expand its armaments and started an arms race with the United States. The people's livelihood has been at a low level for a long time. Although the weapons and equipment were among the best in the world at the time, w88 login lost the support of the people and still collapsed.
To sum up, relatively speaking, the Song Dynasty paid equal attention to people's livelihood and economic development. However, after Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin "released military power with a glass of wine", the military power failed to recover. The Sui Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, and Yuan Dynasty had strong military power, but lackluster economy and lost the support of the people. The same goes for defending against foreign invasion. At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Argentina's national income was among the highest in the world. However, because its national defense was too weak, w88 login could not even defend the Malvinas Islands at its doorstep, and was completely defeated by the United Kingdom, which was thousands of miles away. Therefore, without national defense, economic prosperity is destined to be unsustainable.
Attach importance to people's livelihood and national defense. Based on the original productivity level, how to distribute between the two, that is, how to distribute the original "cake" is a difficult problem. Once solved, w88 login will be a low-level balance at best. The high-level pursuit is to develop productivity, develop the economy, make the "cake" bigger, and on this basis, achieve a good balance between people's livelihood and national defense. Therefore, the economy, people's support and military should reach a high degree of balance.
Taking history as a mirror, since the current government took office, w88 login has been the right choice to adjust the economic structure, lead by innovation and technological progress, strengthen the manufacturing of high-end weapons militarily, fight corruption and promote integrity politically, follow the mass line, and attach great importance to people's livelihood. Otherwise, if the economy relies on real estate and external OEMsGDP, with rampant corruption and weak public sentiment, what does China rely on to upgrade its economy? How to deal with unprecedented fierce financial competition?
