What does it mean to have a simple beginning and a great ending?
On April 2 1945 and April 2 1 day, at the preparatory meeting of the Seventh National Congress in the Communist Party of China (CPC), Comrade Mao Zedong said: "There is a saying in China's Zhuangzi:' The beginning is simple, but the end is great.' What do you mean by "simple at the beginning and huge at the end?"

1, its beginning is also very simple, and it will be great when it is over. From Zhuangzi's Inner Chapter, it means that a thing is simple and subtle at the beginning and becomes complex and huge at the end; By extension, any enterprise with great prospects, although insignificant when it was first established, will certainly have great development when it is about to be completed.

2. Zhuangzi (about 369 BC-about 286 BC), named Zhou, was a Mongolian in the Song Dynasty during the Warring States Period. In the mid-Warring States period, he was a thinker, philosopher and writer, the founder of Zhuangzi, a representative of Taoism, and was also called "Lao Zi and Zhuang Zi" with Lao Zi.

It is said that Zhuangzi tried to live in seclusion in Nanhua Mountain and was buried in Nanhua Mountain. Therefore, at the beginning of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty was awarded the title of South China Reality, and Zhuangzi was also regarded as the South China True Classic.

This is the meaning of simplicity at the beginning and greatness at the end.
