"Those who share the interests of the world, those who are good at the interests of the world, and those who seek the interests of the world"

Emphasize once again to the whole party that "our party does not have its own special interests, and the party puts the interests of the masses first at all times.". "Those who share the interests of the world, the world holds them; those who are good at the interests of the world, the world seeks them." According to Guan Zhong's version of "Guan Zi" written during the Spring and Autumn Period, the original text reads: "All mortals desire profits and evil harm. Therefore, those who share the interests of the world, the world holds them; those who are good at the interests of the world, the world seeks them. Those who seek the interests of the world, though established, will be defeated; those who hold them, though high, will not be endangered. Therefore, it is said, 'Safety and high depend on the same interests.'", "Everyone is fond of profit and avoids harm. Anyone who can share the benefits with others in the world will be supported and supported, while those who monopolize the interests of the world will seek to deal with them.". "People who support and support one another, even if their status is high, there will be no danger. Therefore, the key to staying in a high position is to be able to share the interests of the people.". "Sharing benefits with the people" is an important content of Guan Zi's people-oriented thought. In his view, "obtaining the way of others is not as beneficial as pursuing benefits." Only by following the principle of sharing benefits with the people can a ruler gain the support and support of the people. The reason why Duke Huan of Qi was able to become the leader of the five hegemons during the Spring and Autumn Period was precisely because he adopted Guan Zi's idea of "taking the interests of the world as the interests". After Guan Zi, various scholars in the Pre Qin Dynasty elaborated on this idea, such as Confucius, who proposed the idea of "sharing benefits and difficulties with the people". When discussing the way to govern a country with Duke Ai of Lu, he said, "The disaster of heaven is auspicious, the land of Baofeng Province is rich, and the people share their wealth and share their disasters. The reason why this country is harmonious is that the monarch must share wealth and wealth with the people, and share disasters." The main idea is that the reason for peace in the country is that the monarch must share wealth and wealth with the people. The "Six Tales", written during the Warring States Period, links "profit" with "gains and losses of the world," saying, "Those who share the benefits of the world will gain the world; those who excel in the benefits of the world will lose the world.". By the time of Mencius, it was further clearly stated that not competing for benefits with the people was the fundamental way of governing a country, and the resulting "debate between justice and benefit" had also become a topic of contention among future thinkers. "In order to survive and develop, everyone is constantly striving and struggling, so it is not surprising that the emergence of the" distinction between justice and profit ", whether it is" controlling profits with righteousness "or" advocating profits and valuing righteousness ", is at the core of emphasizing the need to take the interests of the world as the interests, rather than just pursuing personal interests, because only" benefiting the people "is the true" great interests "of the country.", "If the benefits do not lie with the officials, they will lie with the people. If the people gain their benefits, they will have access to financial resources, which are beneficial to the officials. If the officials specialize in their benefits, they will have their sources blocked, which will inevitably harm the people.". In other words, "benefiting the people" is the foundation of good governance in a country. Only by grasping the "interests of the people" and following the principle of sharing the same interests with the people can a country achieve peace and stability. Even though difficulties and hardships may sometimes arise, it can also achieve the "eternal end of Tianlu". In feudal society, all dynasties were actually "competing for benefits with the people" or even "seizing their benefits". "In the past, it was said that the ancient people were rich in the possession of the people, but since the Han Dynasty, wealth has no longer existed among the people.". So for thousands of years, despite repeated changes in the royal dynasty
