What is the relationship between top-level design and crossing the river by feeling the stones?

The top-level design and crossing the river by feeling the stones are dialectical unity.

On the one hand, since the reform and opening up, we have accumulated rich practical experience and laid a solid foundation for strengthening top-level design. As long as we make good use of these practical experiences, we can do a good job in top-level design. On the other hand, doing top-level design well does not mean denying crossing the river by feeling the stones.

Today, we still need to cross the river by feeling the stones, continue to try and explore, and accumulate more experience for top-level design. Without crossing the river by feeling the stones and paying attention to accumulating practical experience, the top-level design may be divorced from reality and national conditions, and it is difficult to achieve the expected results. If crossing the river by feeling the stones is a strategic choice under the condition of lack of practical experience, then the top-level design is the strategic planning of crossing the river.
