1. An examination and interpretation of “keeping pace with the times”
The source of “keeping pace with the times” is the "Book of Changes".
The "Classic Chinese Chapter" of "The Biography of the Book of Changes" explains the ninety-third line of the "Zhouyi·Qian Gua" line "A gentleman works all day long": "Work all day long and keep pace with the times." "Shuowen" notes: "Together, together."
("Zhouyi Dazhuan Today's Notes") It means moving forward. It means: "A gentleman works diligently all day long, and keeps pace with the times."
"Tuan Zhuan" of "Loss Gua" says: "Profits and losses are full and empty, and keep pace with the times." "Yi Gua" "Yu Zhuan" said: "The way to benefit is to go with the times."
("Zhouyi Da Zhuan") The words "go with the times" in these two places are exactly the same as in the "Qian Gua" , all the ancients believed that their actions were harmful or beneficial, advancing or retreating. We must conform to the development requirements of the times, keep pace with the times, and advance with the times.
It can be said that "keeping pace with the times" and "advancing with the times" are synonymous. The first person in Chinese history to use the phrase "advancing with the times" was probably Li Dazhao.
On October 10, 1917, the 6th National Day of the Republic of China, he wrote a short note "This Day" to the reporter of "Pacific" magazine. Li Dazhao said in the letter: "... this coming year will be a blank page in our national history. We will wait for our ideals of elegance, purity and beauty to be written with brilliance and perseverance, and we hope to achieve it." , don’t be idle for a moment, keep pace with the times, connect each page, and continue forever.
Take this day in the past as a commemoration, take this day in the future as your ideal; take the past as your ideal. This day is a trace, and this day in the future is our future. In this way, our today will have no time, that is, our progress will have no limit.
However, the new China will never rest until this day. It is the beginning of the journey.” There is no doubt that the words “change with each passing year, keep pace with the times, connect each page, and last forever” are his full expectations for the entire country and nation to have an extremely bright future. , is also his true thought and hope in writing a new chapter in history.
Advancing with the times; three representatives. "Advance with the times" comes from "keeping pace with the times", "keeping pace with the times" and "keeping pace with the times" in the Book of Changes.
In the first chapter of "Qian Gua" in "The Book of Changes" it is said: "Don't use the hidden dragon", Yang energy is hidden; "Seeing a dragon in the field", the world is civilized; "Do it all day long", and Traveling together in time; "Maybe leaping in the abyss", the main road is leather; "Flying dragon in the sky", it is a heavenly virtue; "A strong dragon has regrets", it is in harmony with the time; Qianyuan "Yongjiu" is to see the rules of heaven. The general meaning is: Hidden Dragon is lurking in the water to recharge its energy and cannot function for the time being.
If the dragon appears on the ground, it means that Yang Qi appears and can shine brightly. If you keep improving yourself every day, you will be like the movement of heaven, which will continue to move.
If the dragon leaps into the air or retreats into the water, it means that we are in an era of change and need to assess the situation. If the dragon flies high into the sky, the whole world will be blessed.
If a dragon flies too high, it will definitely regret it, because things must be reversed at the extremes, and the development of things will turn to the opposite side as time goes by. The line "Yong Jiu" is the cycle of heaven and the law of nature.
In the fifty-fifth chapter of "Feng Gua" in the "Book of Changes", it is said: When the sun is at noon, it will be wilted, and when the moon is waxing, it will be eclipsed. What about ghosts and gods? The general meaning is: when the sun reaches the zenith, it will tilt to the west, and after the full moon there will be an eclipse; the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon all have waxing and waning changes, and with the change of time, there is life and death, not to mention humans, let alone ghosts and gods. My experience is: "Keeping pace with the times" means continuous self-improvement, always doing things in accordance with the laws of nature, and operating in accordance with the laws of the development of things.
"Keeping pace with the times" means that if you fly too high, you will destroy the laws of nature and violate the laws of the development of things. As time goes by, you will step by step towards the opposite of your wishes. The "message with the times" is that the operation of nature has its iron laws. Everything is in motion. As time changes, things will also change, and no one can change it.
In addition, in the 52nd "Gen Gua" of "The Book of Changes" it is said: Gen means stopping. When it stops, it stops; when it moves, it moves; when movement and stillness do not lose their time, the path is bright.
The general idea is: "Gen Gua" symbolizes suppression. When the situation develops to a certain extent, suppress it when it is necessary to suppress it, and proceed when it is necessary to continue; you must grasp the opportunity to stop and proceed. As long as the opportunity is grasped accurately, the future will be bright.
My experience is: "Stop" means insisting on not doing things that go against the rules or laws. If you do it, you must stop and correct it; if what you do is in line with the rules, but you encounter setbacks, it means that the time is right. If you don't grasp it well, you should stop and wait for the opportunity. "Action" means insisting on doing things according to the laws of development of things. If you believe it is right, you should persist even if you encounter difficulties, but you should wait for the opportunity.
Therefore, the key to "stopping" and "acting" is "keeping pace with the times". "Advance with the times" includes the above meaning of seizing the opportunity, but it does not mean to restrain. The emphasis is: move forward with the times, keep making progress, and never stop.
"Advance with the times" is a scientific, dynamic and changing phrase. It is a new idiom that views the world from a development perspective and respects the laws of development of things.
However, in the former general secretary's discussion of the "Three Represents", he insisted on being a representative "always". Doesn't this mean that he does not want to seek change and keep pace with the times in accordance with the rules? Contradiction, contradiction.
Today’s world political camp has undergone great changes compared with the world more than ten years ago. We must be clearly aware of this. Our former general secretary proposed “advancing with the times”, which already shows that we are not in sync with the times. If we do not talk about the problems in the political system, democratic system, law and news supervision, we should at least admit that we are in the economic system, scientific system and so on. It lags behind developed countries in terms of technology, economic strength and national defense capabilities.
Therefore, we must move forward, move forward, move forward, and strive to catch up with developed countries and keep pace with the times that developed countries are living in. However, how can we catch up? Safety accidents are constantly happening in our country, and no matter how hard we try, they cannot be stopped; official corruption is emerging in endlessly, and no matter how hard we crack down, we cannot stop it; medical expenses, tuition fees, and house prices cannot be reduced no matter how much we do; this is not simply a matter of These problems can be solved by economic reform and opening up. This requires us to look at the world trend in a sizing up manner. We should "stop" when we should give up, "go" when we should persist, and never go to the opposite side of things.
Sun Yat-sen's "The trend of the world is mighty; those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!" The former general secretary often quoted it, but it actually means roughly the same as "advancing with the times." but. 2. Keeping pace with the times
“Keeping pace with the times” is a term we are familiar with. Usually I naturally understand it as “advancing with the trend of the times”. By chance, I saw an expert saying that the allusion of "keeping pace with the times" comes from the "Book of Changes", and said that it originated from three sentences, namely "keeping pace with the times", "keeping pace with the times", and "keeping pace with the times". timely news”. I couldn't help but be curious. I read some books related to the I Ching (such as "The I Ching and Life") and several controversies on the Internet, and came up with some ideas of my own. Let's first look at the three sentences in the "Book of Changes". The first chapter of Qian Gua in the Book of Changes says: "Don't use the hidden dragon", Yang Qi is hidden; "Seeing a dragon in the field" means the world is civilized; "Working all day long", keeping pace with the times; "Maybe leaping in the sky" Yuan", the main road is Ge; "flying dragon in the sky", it is the virtue of heaven; "the dragon has regrets", it is in harmony with the times; "Yong Jiu" in Qianyuan is the principle of heaven. The Fifty-Fifth Gua of Feng in the Book of Changes says: When the sun is midday, it will be dark, and when the moon is waxing, it will be eclipsed; when the sky and the earth are waxing and waning, what happens with the news of the time, but is it worse for people? What about ghosts and gods? The Book of Changes is broad and profound, but at its core, it discusses how people develop in harmony with the world. An important principle mentioned in it is "advance, retreat, survival, and death." It analyzes things without emphasizing only one aspect. If we talk about "action", there must be "stop"; if we talk about "advance", there must be "retreat". I believe that "keeping pace with the times", "keeping pace with the times", and "keeping pace with the times" can be regarded as a set of progressive and mutually complementary philosophical theories. "Kai" means ***, "行" refers to action, and "ji" refers to the end point; "Message" means "death and rebirth". The three sentences put together mean, "We must act according to the laws of nature (i.e. the laws of things) to set reasonable goals, and the process and outcome of things must also follow the law of profit and loss and cannot be forced." "Book of Changes" What is emphasized in the book is "keeping with the times", that is, "conforming to the laws of the development of things." Human beings must follow the laws of nature in order to recuperate and rejuvenate. These theories correspond to the agricultural production tradition of China as an ancient agricultural country. Because, in an agricultural society, if farming is not carried out in accordance with the weather and if land is not used rationally, a society will lose the basic resources for survival and the foundation for development. But in the current era, "Shi" refers more to the "trend of the times", while "Jin" emphasizes enterprising, progress and advancement. This is specific to China's international role as a developing country with a large population. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, China has suffered enough from lagging behind other countries in technological and economic development, so it strives to make progress and become advanced. Looking at society, warnings and warnings that encourage people to strive for the top and work hard are everywhere. "Keep pace with the times", the "Book of Changes" emphasizes "kei", which means we must comply with the rules, advance and retreat; and "advance with the times", the emphasis is on "advance", we must "fight", and we must not fall behind others back. Can they still be said to be of the same origin in terms of their ideological roots? In fact, some people have verified that the first person to use the word "advance with the times" verbatim was Li Dazhao. On October 10, 1917, the 6th National Day of the Republic of China, I wrote a short note "This Day" to the reporter of "Pacific" magazine. He said in the letter: "... this coming year will be a blank page in our national history. We will wait for our ideals of elegance, purity and beauty to be written with dexterity and perseverance, and we hope to achieve it." , don’t be idle for a moment, keep pace with the times, connect each page, and continue forever. Use this day in the past as a commemoration, use this day in the future as an ideal; use this day in the past as a trace, and use the future as a trace. This day is the beginning of our future. If this is the case, our progress will never end, but this day will be the beginning.” When Li Dazhao used this word. , what he saw before his eyes was the surging world trend, changing with each passing day, and what boiled in his heart was the strong desire for the Chinese people to keep up with the trend, learn new knowledge, abandon the old and inferior, and strengthen the nation. The late 19th century to the early 20th century was a period of transition from "liberal" capitalism to monopoly capitalism and into imperialism.
Countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States have carried out the second scientific and technological revolution. Industrial technology has developed rapidly and national power has continued to grow. In contrast, China's system is outdated, its national power is weak, and its situation is critical. Under comparison and attack, knowledgeable Chinese people have issued a call to learn from advanced Western culture, strive for self-improvement and revitalize China. As a "wishing speech", Li Dazhao's "Advance with the Times" emphasizes people's subjective initiative. It is consistent with the spirit advocated by our current national policy. To sum up, the founder of "advancing with the times" should be Li Dazhao, not the "Book of Changes". However, when China's development policy is adjusted to fully coordinate economic development with the balance of nature, this "advancing with the times" may be close to the "keeping pace with the times" in the "Book of Changes".

"Advance with the times" is an idiom, which comes from Xun Kuang's "Xunzi" "Move with the times, look up to the world, ever-changing, and the way is the same." One word.
Later, "migration" was used as "joint advancement", such as Cai Yuanpei, Li Dazhao and others. This sentence also derives another famous saying or philosophical saying: "Nothing can change without departing from its origins."
By the way, here is an aside: Due to the influence of Simi, Meng, Cheng, and Zhu Xiaoru, few scholars in the Ming and Qing Dynasties studied the book "Xunzi". In fact, the greatest philosophical and Taoist works in Chinese history are not the "Four Books and Five Classics", but Fuxi's "Yuan Yi" ("He Tu", "Luo Shu" and "Yao Gui" - it is called Yao Gua when used for divination), Lao Dan's "Tao Te Ching", Mo Zhai's "Mozi", Xun Kuang's "Xunzi", Guanzi Scholar Group's "Guanzi", Lu Buwei Scholar Group's "Lü Shi Chun Qiu" (also known as "Lü Lan" is a summary of the pre-Qin academic system), Sun Wu "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, "Zhuangzi" by Zhuang Zhou, "Guiguzi" by Mr. Guigu, "Long and Short Classics" by Zhao Rui, "Huangji Jingshi Shu" by Shao Yong, "Hong Fan Huangji Jing" by Cai Shen, and "Han Feizi" by Han Fei The thirteen most holy classics are collectively called the "Thirteen Great Holy Scriptures of Shenhua" or the "Thirteen Great Holy Scriptures of Taihua".
Xi Dan, Mo Xun and others are the four most important figures in Chinese culture. The greatness of Confucius is not his Confucian writings, but his pioneering of civilian education and governance.
Before the third century BC, only ancient Shenhua and ancient Greece had civilian education. Therefore, the Eastern Zhou countries and ancient Greece became the two major axes of the early civilizational Axial Age. Therefore, we should neither misunderstand the greatness of Confucius nor deny the greatness of Confucius.
