Sitting on the ground, traveling 80 thousand miles a day, watching the sky and thousands of rivers.

The philosophical principle contained in "sitting on the ground and traveling 80,000 miles a day, observing the sky and looking at thousands of rivers in the distance" is: the unity of the absoluteness of movement and the relativity of stillness.

I. Original text

Third, the source

Mao Zedong's "Seven Laws and Two Poems: Sending the God of plague"

Appreciation of Seven Laws and Two Poems: Seeing off the God of plague

"Sit on the floor, travel 80,000 miles a day, and look at thousands of rivers." The author uses the characteristic that poetry skills can jump, so that we can jump from the miserable old society to the bright and beautiful new society at once. Guo Moruo pointed out in Sitting on the Ground and Watching the Sky and Others (People's Daily March 4 1959) that these two sentences "refer to the rotation and revolution of the earth, which is certain."

80,000 Li is one revolution of the earth, and the equator of the earth is 40,000 kilometers long, which is exactly 80,000 Li. When the earth rotates, it also revolves, so the author imagines himself soaring in the sky, looking at countless stars, that is, "looking at thousands of rivers in the distance."
