The origin and meaning of national power

Wang Ba in Xunzi's The Source of Great Powers means that a country is a great country if it chooses the correct national policy and is governed by outstanding talents.

China thinkers' strategic thinking and major responses to the core, key and urgent issues of the country's long-term stability are reflected in "national affairs", "national affairs", "national power" and "national catastrophe".

Historically, China's ancient "national events" mainly included agriculture, people's livelihood, sacrifices, military affairs, education, criminal law, finance and taxation and other events that affected national development and social stability. Sacrifice is related to the state power order and ideology. Education is a major project to cultivate and discover talents. Rewarding and punishing prisoners is related to social order, and fiscal revenue is the economic lifeline of the country.

The connotation of "the greatest country" is concrete and unchangeable, and it is constantly changing with the changes of time, place and conditions. Because the social environment and tasks faced by each historical stage are different, the main problems to be solved are also different, and naturally there will be different "great men" who grasp the new trend of national and social development.

Practical analysis:

From a practical point of view, "the greatest person in the country" means "actions speak louder than words and work hard for the prosperity of the country." First, adhere to the concept of practice, strengthen the people's stand, and closely combine lofty goals and struggle programs with down-to-earth and hard work, so as to align the direction of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and capitalism and shoulder the historical mission of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The second is to focus on implementation, carry forward the spirit of nailing, adhere to a blueprint to the end, and adhere to the "one point deployment, nine points implementation." Once the task is determined, step by step, slowly and steadily, and constantly accumulate small victories for big victories.

The third is to combine the ever-changing actual situation, use new ideas and measures, implement the work, and strive to make achievements that can stand the test of practice, people and history.
