The word "Wei" has many interpretations. Xu Shen said in Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Wei is also a female monkey. This is a good paw for birds. Paws, so do female monkeys. The lower abdomen is shaped like a female monkey. Wang Yu said, "Claws are pictographic. "In ancient Chinese, it was like two female monkeys facing each other. Another explanation is that the word "for" refers to borrowing something from an elephant's nose to work. In my opinion, the original intention of the word "Wei" is neither a female monkey nor a worker ant, but a metaphor for human ability to control elephants.
Laozi's Tao Te Ching ends with "Fight for it", which is very meaningful. "Heaven is beneficial and harmless; The way of people is indisputable. " The way of man is still the way of sage. When you do something, you should work hard, but don't be competitive. This is the same as "I have three treasures and keep them" in Chapter 67 of Tao Te Ching. One is kindness, the other is thrift, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. "It echoes each other. In Lao Tzu's view, "I dare not be the best in the world, so I can succeed." "
In the discussion of modern people, I appreciate Meng Jianzhu's point of view best. According to Xinhuanet, on June 5438+1October 3 1 day, 2009, Comrade Meng Jianzhu, then State Councilor and Minister of Public Security, pointed out during his inspection in Anhui that "we should pay attention to selecting and employing people at the grassroots level, so that those who suffer hardships can enjoy the fragrance, those who work hard can get benefits, and those who are promising can have a place."
"Let promising people have a place" applies not only to the public security system, but also to all walks of life. This concept is the most basic principle of employing people. Unfortunately, it is very scarce and precious in some places where corrupt officials are in power and the political style is dirty. The phenomenon of "selling officials and titles" and "reverse elimination" has caused the broad masses of cadres and people to lose confidence in the management of officials, which is extremely pernicious and sinful.
"Let the hard-working people enjoy the fragrance, let the hard-working people benefit and let the promising people have a place." Only in this way can bureaucracy be clear, society be harmonious and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation be realized.
