The meaning of the country's greatness is a political vocabulary. The so-called "country's greatness" solves the problem of ideological understanding and height.
With a "great country" in mind, the first thing is to stand firm in political stance and take a quasi-political direction. With a "big country" in mind, we must persist in looking at the problem from the overall situation, from a long-term perspective and from a strategic perspective.
The source of a great country comes from Xunzi Wang Ba. In the vernacular, it is explained that governing the country is an extremely important matter. We must carefully choose the way to build the country and the people who govern the country to undertake such an important task. Once we make mistakes in this aspect, the country will be in danger. It can be understood that a country is a "great country" if it chooses the right national policy and is run by outstanding talents.
Xunzi Wang Ba talks about the way of governing the country. Xunzi believes that governing the country by Tao is great security and glory. There are three ways to govern the country: righteousness, faithfulness and Machiavellian tactics, which have different functions. Only by ruling the country with righteousness can we conquer the world. Righteousness is propriety, that is, Tao.
Therefore, at the beginning of this article, it is said: "The country, the use of the world; People are masters, and the benefits of the world are also good. If you get the Tao and hold it, you will be safe, glorious and the source of beauty; If you don't stick to it, you will be in great danger and tired, which is worse than nothing ... "That is to say, the country exists for the benefit of the world. The managers and rulers of the country have power and status. If you govern the country with correct morality, the country will be stable and the society will prosper. On the contrary, the country will be in danger.
The enlightenment of the great country lies in being prepared for danger in times of peace. In the discussion of "the great power of the country", the ancients always paid attention to the factors that endangered the country's development and social stability, and summed up many understandings about "the great loss of the country" and "the great disaster of the country". During the reign of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty, the Military Division told Lu Heng: "The shortage of soldiers is a great disaster for the country." Emphasize that the shortage of soldiers is a major worry for the country. Zhan Ruoshui, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty, cried out that some officials who were eager to collect profits did not know that they were "the biggest ones who were sick of the country". The great plan of the country is a long-term task. In ancient times, the discussion of "the leader of the country" contained a strong sense of hardship, and some rulers also actively took measures to prevent factors that interfered with social stability.
For example, Tang Dezong thinks that water transportation is a national plan, while in Xia Zhishi in spring, due to the influence of irrigation on both sides of the strait, boats and boats often stagnate, so he appointed local officials to be responsible for boundary management to ensure smooth flow. This fully reflects the practice of "the country's greatest", but also to be prepared for danger in times of peace, nip in the bud.
We should conscientiously absorb the ideological nourishment of traditional culture, accurately grasp the requirements of the times with "the country's greatest power", deeply understand that what the CPC Central Committee cares about, emphasizes, persists and safeguards is the "country's greatest power", think deeply and conscientiously, perform their duties and conscientiously, and consciously shoulder the mission of the times entrusted by the party and the people.
