-"Work together to pursue China-Australia development dreams and achieve regional prosperity and stability side by side.
-quotations from speeches and other articles of the Australian Federal Parliament.
■ explanation
In his speech to the Australian Federal Parliament, Comrade * * quoted this sentence from Ouyang Xiu's "On cronies" and expounded the principles and positions of China's international exchanges: only by advocating "friends of gentlemen in the same boat" based on morality can friendship last forever and be passed down from generation to generation. This is the case at the turn of the country, and so is the turn of people. Just because of the pursuit of interests, it is inevitable to compete for more interests and leave each other. Those who engage in small circles, groups and gangs are often linked by illegitimate interests. They seem very close, but in fact they are different and intrigued. This is the "friend of the villain" denounced by the sages. A friend of a gentleman is of one mind and one mind. Only by pursuing unity with a common ideal and working together for a great cause can Qi Xin work together to forge an unbreakable and powerful team. This is a great friendship and a true friendship. For * * * people, faith is our common language, and it is the deepest power that makes people consistent and unswerving.
■ Original code
It is said that cronies have existed since ancient times, but fortunately, people can distinguish between gentlemen and villains. ..... That's why I call a villain without friends. It's false to be friends for the time being. A gentleman, on the other hand, abides by morality, loyalty and honor. Self-cultivation, benefit from the same people, serve the country, unite and help each other, and will always be friends of this gentleman. So, you are a gentleman, but when you quit the fake friend of the villain and use the real friend of the gentleman, the world will be ruled.
-Northern Song Dynasty-Ouyang Xiu's "On the Same Party and Different Parties"
■ explanation
Now, Ouyang Xiu and Fan Zhongyan were demoted as cronies by Lu for opposing the abolition of Guo. In the third year of Li Qing (1043), Song Renzong reused Fan Zhongyan and others for reform, and his political opponents attacked him on the charge of "cronies", so Ouyang Xiu presented an article about cronies to Emperor Renzong. The article compares and demonstrates layer by layer to convince people.
Ouyang Xiu put forward in the theory of cronies that villains have no cronies and gentlemen have cronies. Because villains are greedy for money and goods, when their interests are the same, they temporarily collude as cronies and are hypocritical; When their profits run out, they will turn to kill each other, even brothers and relatives. On the other hand, a gentleman adheres to morality and fulfills loyalty and honor. In this way, you will be like-minded and complement each other; Only by doing things for the country can we work together and keep pace. This is a gentleman's confidant. Therefore, as long as the monarch can repel the false cronies of villains and use the true cronies of gentlemen, the world will be stable.
