Since ancient times, in our country, besides Zeng Guofan, who else has done it?

1. Mao Zedong is a book. You can't just look at the cover of this book.

How to understand and evaluate Mao Zedong is a very complicated and controversial matter. Those who love him regard him as a god; Those who hate him try their best to slander him; People who are afraid of him turn him into a taboo.

These stereotyped, irrelevant and superficial views and perceptions are misunderstandings and misinterpretations of Mao Zedong. Just like reading a book, many people only read the cover. As for the contents of the book, because no one has read it carefully, they have to hold their own opinions.

Today, let's open this book calmly, put aside secular short-sightedness and prejudice about right and wrong, and read out the essence and central idea of this book.

A 10,000-meter giant with all-round spirit, thoughts and actions like Mao Zedong is extremely rare, not to mention rare in the history of the world, even in the history of China, which is rich in giants.

In overseas history, Napoleon, a little giant who barely got his wish, managed to join Mao Zedong's heroic spectrum. The comment will probably be like this: this man is a first-rate revolutionary, a second-rate war, and a third-rate strategy. In his later years, he made frequent moves and gradually became incompetent, which eventually led to failure and became a prisoner.

As for Washington, DC, which has been praised to heaven, Mao Zedong probably doesn't even have the interest to evaluate him. The true father of America is Louis XVI, not Washington. Washington first became a traitor to Britain, followed the French to fight Britain, and later stole the name of Louis XVI, the father of the United States. This kind of person is not a hero, but an American version of the puppet Manchukuo Puyi.

To evaluate a giant, you have to stand at the same height to see his whole picture. Therefore, the comments of those spiritual dwarfs on giants are contempt and vulgarity as ordinary people. For example, Gao Hua, Li Rui and others, who are dwarfs with a mental height of less than three centimeters, probably saw the dirt in Mao Zedong's toenails when reading Mao Zedong's book.

If Mao Zedong is regarded as a book, it is too profound. There is no in-depth interpretation, only the cover. Without thick soil, it is impossible to grow towering trees; Without deep water, it is impossible to grow big fish. Similarly, what is the soil and source behind Mao Zedong becoming a great man?

Second, the cultural heritage and origin of Huxiang School

There is something called context inheritance. There is a phenomenon called outstanding people.

Huxiang School originated from Zhou Dunyi, one of the five sons in the Northern Song Dynasty. ZTE is a great thinker Wang Fuzhi, and Mao Zedong is the ultimate achievement. Therefore, only culture is the soil and motive force that breeds national giants.

After the death of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Fuzhi lived in seclusion in Hunan because of his aversion to alien rule, and founded the Chuanshan School. The highest level and center of Confucianism in China moved from Jiangnan to Huxiang.

The context is prosperous and outstanding. After that, Hunan Yingjie came forth in large numbers. Wang Fuzhi not only shoulders the heavy responsibility of China orthodoxy, but also is a staunch defender of China culture. He often holds an umbrella on sunny days and wears a pair of clogs on his feet. It means that there is no heaven on earth.

Huxiang School has always emphasized the difference between China people and foreigners. Here, Wang Fuzhi's emphasis on the distinction between Hua and Yi reached its peak. Later, revolutionaries revolted and wanted to expel the Tatars and restore China. Wang Fuzhi's book is a revolutionary handbook, spiritual food and ideological guide for revolutionaries.

Chuanshan school is about the knowledge that emperors control the rise and fall of chaos, help the world and the people, and help the world and govern the country. His core theme is to apply what he has learned.

He hates those cheap Confucian scholars in the south of the Yangtze River who only talk but don't do it, especially Wang Xue, that is, Wang Yangming's mind. Wang Fuzhi believes that Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and Lu Wang's Neo-Confucianism are both the science of national subjugation. He has an unshirkable responsibility for Song and Ming's two national subjugations.

Wang Chuanshan's thoughts are mainly inherited from Zhang Zai. Zhang Zai, one of the five sons of the Northern Song Dynasty, is the most scholar-like. "Make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the people, inherit the past and the future, and open a peaceful future." These four words, which have been passed down from mouth to mouth by many people, came from Zhang Zai's mouth. This is the true Confucian spirit of taking the world as its own responsibility.

Without Wang Chuanshan, there would be no later Zeng Guofan, Zuo, Wei Yuan, Tan Sitong and others.

Why did Tan Sitong and Mao Zedong seem to be born with the idea and ambition of taking the world as their own responsibility when they were young? This is caused by the influence of context and literary spirit. It's hard to imagine that a teenager who only knows how to walk a bird and play cricket, tell jokes to make boring people sing a duet, or listen to places like Shanghai at night in the concession can have such ambitions and insights at a very young age.

Why is Hunan so colorful and talented in China's modern history? The fundamental reason is that there is a cultural source first, then a source of talents and heroes, and finally a political and economic source. Culture is the lowest structure that promotes historical evolution.

In this China context, it is roughly said that Zhou Dunyi opened up this cultural base, and his disciples worked hard for generations, giving this land the aura and connotation of Hunan. Zhou Dunyi influenced Zhang Zai, later Zhang Zai influenced Wang Fuzhi, Wang Fuzhi influenced Tan Sitong, Tan Sitong influenced Yang Changji and Yang Changji influenced Mao Zedong.

This spirit and ambition of taking the world as one's duty is the great Confucianism, which has injected spiritual strength and courage into Mao Zedong. At the initial stage of his life, he had a direction pattern and height. As for what tools to use in the future, how to act, how to achieve goals and realize ambitions, it is all a matter of skill.

From Zhou Dunyi to Wang Fuzhi and then to Mao Zedong, the vein of this road has been passed down. What does it tell us? Explain that the country can be restored if the country breaks and the culture does not die; If culture dies, there will be no recovery.

Third, China's revolution was plagued by domestic troubles and foreign invasion, and Mao Zedong was born.

People's understanding of themselves can be divided into two categories, one is politically correct and the other is naturally correct. Political correctness means that human beings always like to imagine that they are morally noble. Natural correctness also shows that there is no difference between humans and animals, and everything follows the law of the jungle.

Among different nationalities, national unity is a politically correct statement. And ethnic conflicts are naturally correct. If you open the history books, you will find that there has never been real unity between different nationalities. Either you bully me or I bully you. Either you kill me or I kill you. The so-called occasional unity is also to pull one and fight another.

Huaxia people are the only nation with high morality. However, being kind to other ethnic groups and seeking national unity with wishful thinking, historically, the result is not good. Cao Wei took in barbarians, which eventually led to five chaos. Liang Wudi took in barbarian Hou Jing, and Hou Jing turned Jiangnan into a thousand miles of bones. Liu Yuan, the leader of Xiongnu Department, died in the Western Jin Dynasty. Li Shimin took in a group of barbarians, which led to the Anshi Rebellion. The long war has caused the loss of nearly half of China's population. Li and his son raised their self-esteem, which eventually led to Manchu entering the customs.

The only emperor in China who saw clearly the essence of ethnic problems was Zhu Yuanzhang. He did a great experiment, forbidding intermarriage among barbarians and crossing dozens of colorful Semu people into a new ethnic group: Han Mu. If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's big experiment, like Mendel's hybrid peas, which had been dragged to the Qing Dynasty, Semu people would have been too big to fail, and Han people were no match for Semu people at all. China would have become East Asian Stan. By that time, even China people will lose the material strength of national rejuvenation, such as population.

Since the clash of civilizations between different ethnic groups is a natural right on the earth, when China was poor and weak, according to the law of the jungle, powerful ethnic groups bullied and massacred China people, which also proved that human beings are an animal and had to follow the law of the jungle. We often watch programs like Animal World on TV. In fact, the history of human civilization is also an animal world.

To describe this eternal struggle, in order to simplify the narrative clue, we can divide the human world into four groups and forces: yellow, brown, white and black on the jungle stage of the earth. Because except for the episode in which the Moors colonized Spain, blacks have never been on the stage of "Human World", and the protagonists of human civilization are yellow, white and brown.

Brown race, Hun, Rouran, Xianbei, Khitan, Jurchen, Mongolian and Japanese were all powerful, not only defeated China several times, but also oppressed many white people in the west as slaves. Therefore, the revolution in China, from the perspective of national rejuvenation, is to overthrow the rule of the old Brown people and resist Japanese colonial aggression.

White people United with China and defeated the civilization of brown people. Japan is the swan song of brown race civilization. On the stage of the earth, there may never be a brown country strong enough to rule the earth again. They completely withdrew from the historical stage this time.

Westerners and China people think that these ethnic groups, from Huns to Japanese, are all yellow people. In fact, from the perspective of molecular anthropology, they are not yellow people. They are just brown people of China descent. Most of the "ethnic minorities" in China are artificially identified and fabricated out of thin air. They are not ethnic minorities at all. They are all from China.

The relay race of the China Revolution that overthrew the rule of Manchu, an old brown power, was jointly completed by Yuan Shikai of Sun Wen. The victory of the neo-Brown forces in Japanese aggression was accomplished by the joint efforts of the two parties and whites.

White people are not United. They can be divided into three forces: Germany, Angles and Slavs, and each force wants to take the world as its own. The German nation was defeated by the Anglo-Saxons and Slavs as well as the last brown Japanese. Then there are three forces left in the jungle of the "human world", namely Ansar, Slavic and Huaxia.

The baton of China Revolution was handed over to Mao Zedong. Brown people have been completely eliminated, and white people certainly hope that China will be the next person to be kicked off the earth stage. Ansar and Slavic's wishful thinking is to kick Huaxia out, and then they wrestle with each other.

Mao Zedong accepted the revolutionary task of maintaining the leading position of the people of China. To accomplish this extremely arduous task, the first step is to quickly unify China, unite and organize all the people of China, and gather the greatest strength. The second step, between Angles and Slavs, help one fight another, and survive circuitously between the two great powers. The third step is to quickly establish an industrial system, realize national defense autonomy and possess nuclear weapons.

China Revolution, the relay race, ran to Mao Zedong, the last leg, and almost completely accelerated the sprint. If it weren't for this beautiful movement and many gaps, China people would like to follow in the footsteps of the brown race and bid farewell to the big stage of human history. It was an impossible task, but Mao Zedong accomplished it.

China's internal worries are fragmentation of social organizations, class division, fragmentation of major forces, disunity, and inability to form a strong resultant force. Mao Zedong solved the matter.

China's foreign aggression is that Yuan Shikai of Sun Wen has just driven away a group of brown colonists and a group of brown invaders, so he wants to fight against Japan. After the end of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, whites tried to colonize China again, and they had to continue to struggle with whites. Mao Zedong has also solved the problem of foreign invasion. The symbol that China people really stand up is not national reunification, but the Korean War.

At this point, it is estimated that many people have denounced it as unbearable: your thoughts are all nationalism, all racism, all fascism, all Nazism and all Hitler. This grief is caused by the stupidity of political correctness. Confucius said that it is better to destroy China than to change the emperor and have a monarch. Is Confucius also a Nazi? Are Zhu Yuanzhang, Wang Fuzhi and Sun Wen Nazis?

To stigmatize a person as a natural and correct thing based on his national destiny and interests is called nationalism, and then it is equivalent to Nazism, which is the cultural aggression and cultural repression of the white people in China. If a person abandons his national position, sits on the other side of others' ass and speaks for barbarians, such a person used to be called a traitor, but now he is called a citizen of the world. The so-called world citizens don't just rely on foreign self-esteem.

These low-minded people probably can't tell the difference between nature's pursuit of national prosperity and fascism with the goal of killing and cleaning other nations.

People who believe in nature and correctness can generally live longer, because they know who they are, who their compatriots are, and who they can unite with in times of crisis to become a great force. People who believe in political correctness are often too stupid to come to a good end. As the saying goes, there is no distinction between relatives and friends, and morality is also contradictory. Political correctness is like a specific medicine for mental retardation. Whoever believes it is stupid.

What I said earlier is the clue of the national revolution, and the other clue is the clue of the global proletarian revolution. Marx was born for the European revolution. Lenin fulfilled Marx's prediction in Russia and continued to predict the coming of the world revolution. In fact, Marx's theory about European revolution and Lenin's theory about Russian revolution are not applicable to the reality of China's national revolution.

Mao Zedong Thought did not China Marxism, but completed the national revolution of the people of China with the help of Lenin and Stalin.

Fourth, conquer and rule the world, combining Taoism, Confucianism and law.

Chen Duxiu, Li, Qu Qiubai and Wang Ming did not follow the dogma of Marxism-Leninism, Stalin and Trotsky. But Mao Zedong succeeded. What is the essential difference between Mao Zedong and previous leaders? These Marxist-Leninist dogmas are all Wang Ming's contents, but they are only the covers of Mao Zedong's books. This is the essential difference.

When we open Mao Zedong's books, we will find that his essence and light do not come from westerners, but from the sages of China.

Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth. How did these glittering Mao Zedong Thought come from? These views can be regarded as Mao Zedong's view of knowing and doing. Mao Zedong's view of knowing and doing is almost consistent with Wang Fuzhi's view of knowing and doing.

Wang Fuzhi believes: "You can know the second, but you must know the second." This sentence is translated into a popular saying that people can easily understand now, that is, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak, truth cannot guide practice, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

With this view of knowing and doing, we can complete China's national revolution according to China's specific reality. If you do anything in the wrong direction, the harder you work, the more mistakes you will make. According to the basic reality that China is an agricultural country, Mao Zedong put forward great strategic and tactical ideas such as peasants encircling cities, mass movements and guerrilla warfare.

Shortly after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Mao Zedong volunteered and retired to the second line of national construction. The first line of national construction has been handed over to Liu Zhoudeng and others. Mao Zedong's practice is just in line with Laozi's thought: it is heaven to retire after success.

When the cooperation between the two countries broke down, Mao Zedong started his business with 500 cannons and his farmer's workshop. This 500-gun is the first bucket of gold in Mao Zedong's armed revolution. From the autumn harvest uprising to the Jinggangshan base area, to the Long March, the Red Army stationed, and then to the war of resistance and liberation. The light of Mao Zedong's military thought is vividly displayed. Fundamentally speaking, Mao Zedong's military thought is to avoid reality and make an imaginary attack. This is the military application of Taoist thought.

Why did Chiang Kai-shek call himself China Jane Napoleon, but the war was a mess? Because Chiang Kai-shek doesn't understand Taoist culture at all. Using the stupid military thinking you learned from the Japanese to fight against the Japanese who are several times stronger than you, obviously you can't win.

Serve the people and be their public servants. This corresponds to "being outside, being ahead" in Tao Te Ching. The idea.

Mao Zedong put forward that governing the country means governing officials. In ruling the country according to law, Mao Zedong suppressed Confucianism and promoted law. He is a student of Guan Zhong, Shang Yang and Han Fei.

At the same time, Mao Zedong also said that "600 million China is the best place for Yao and Shun". Everyone is Yao and Shun, and the world is one. Isn't this the highest thought of Confucianism? Taoism, Confucianism and Legalism have their own uses in Mao Zedong. This is an extremely superb realm.

It is the embodiment of Wang Fuzhi's thought to sweep the door, destroy Buddhism during the Cultural Revolution, eliminate pornography and gambling, and wash away all cultural dross.

When there is a problem in economic construction, it is not to shirk the responsibility and blame the people who actually implement it, but to bear the responsibility by themselves. This is the measure of the country. This is the embodiment of Taoist thought that "the country is the master of the country".

What is the difference and failure between Wang Ming and them during the revolutionary period? Basically, it still lies in illiteracy. What were Chiang Kai-shek's weaknesses and failures during the War of Liberation? Fundamentally speaking, this is his illiteracy. Why are those imperialist paper tigers afraid of him? Because in their eyes, Mao Zedong is unfathomable.

Five, endless slander and misunderstanding

Mao Zedong is a rare figure in the history of China who combines Taoism, Confucianism and law. As a result, his opponent could not compare with him, and his comrades could not understand him. Because only people of the same height can understand each other.

This leads to many misunderstandings, because no one can really understand him. Before his death, there were countless misunderstandings, and after his death, there were countless misunderstandings.

He was too tall and great, so he was lonely before he died.

Some people say that he plays politics and makes the whole bureaucracy feel insecure. Mao Zedong has read "Tongzhijian" for seventeen times, and he certainly knows how to control the rise and fall of chaos in the world. There have been so many dictatorships of consorts, eunuchs, military commanders, civil servants, gentry and dignitaries in the history of China, all because of the imbalance of several major political systems.

Only when the forces of all parties check and balance each other can there be balance, and only when there is balance can the political system of the country be stable. The negative textbook is that Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian, and the Ming Dynasty immediately perished. Without Wei Zhongxian, who will balance Lin Dong, a cheap and brainless party?

Mao Zedong did all this for the stability and sustainability of the whole political system, for the future and destiny of the country, not for the power itself, not for the pleasure of playing with power.

Many intellectuals say that Mao Zedong is an emperor, not a scholar, so they look down on intellectuals. In fact, Mao Zedong was the most literate person in the Republic of China and its period. Few people in the world can read more than Mao Zedong. In Mao Zedong's view, it is useless for those intellectuals who read a few foreign books and say that they are ancient Greeks and Romans. Mao Zedong doesn't discriminate against knowledge itself, but against those who pretend to be full of knowledge, but have no thoughts, brains and hearts.

Others say that Mao Zedong fought too many wars, which brought trouble to his family. And accused Mao Zedong of making mistakes after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), so he was reviled after his death. Mao Zedong devoted his life to his country and nation. He was unfortunate by the country before his death, and many people in his family were killed. Be reviled by the world after death. He not only dedicated his life to the country, but also to the country after his death.

Others say Mao Zedong is belligerent. Is Mao Zedong really aggressive? He just can't hide the suffering of ordinary people and the bullying of China people. In order not to let the people suffer any more, he wants to overthrow all reactionaries who oppress the people in China. In order to prevent foreigners from bullying the people of China, he will overthrow all the imperialists.

Mao Zedong created * * * and the country, and he created the People's Liberation Army, which dynasty in the history of China can be compared with it? What is the fundamental secret of Mao Zedong's invincible army? It is he who is fighting for the protection of the people. The Tao Te Ching says: Fu Ci conquers with discipline; God will save it and defend it with mercy.

What is kindness? This means treating others like your own children. No matter animals or humans, when protecting their cubs, they will burst into endless energy. This is the power of kindness. Treating ordinary people is like treating your own children, full of love and despair. How many emperors in the history of China can do it?

Many vulgar neo-liberal economists accuse Mao Zedong of not knowing the economy, saying that he can only conquer the world but not the world. It seems that the post-Mao world is well managed. To understand Mao Zedong's economic strategy, we must understand the height of Mao Zedong. I have been in an accelerated sprint all my life. Why does he attach so much importance to the global revolution? Because he wants to run for this country in his lifetime. Don't run more laps. What if something goes wrong with the next stick?

People who know me are worried about me, and those who don't know me are responsive. Who can understand the great anxiety in Mao Zedong's heart?

If the world revolution is the game point of national destiny, then the Great Leap Forward is a natural decision. Because China is too weak to support such a cause as the world revolution materially, it must be completed quickly and economically. It is not so much the failure of economic construction as the fact that China is poor and weak, undertaking the great task of the world revolution, knowing that it is impossible.

After the complete failure of the world revolution, Mao Zedong called the Americans to negotiate. He knew that the people who followed him were no match for Americans, so he had to switch the strategy of world revolution to the strategy of opening to the outside world in advance.

Others say Mao Zedong is heartless. Does Mao Zedong persecute ordinary people? He tortured those who get carried away after a few days of good life, in order to remind them that there are still so many people suffering in China who haven't lived a good life yet.

It is also said that Mao Zedong destroyed the traditional culture and the moral values of China people. It sounds like the post-Mao Zedong society is very cultural and moral. What Mao Zedong destroyed and purged was precisely all kinds of heresies that had not existed for thousands of years since the Qing Dynasty. On the other hand, if you look back at Taiwan Province Province and their "traditional culture", you will know that there are dross, all kinds of stinky dross that have been deeply fermented.

If Mao Zedong really hates traditional culture, how could he donate Wang Fuzhi's manuscript to the museum when it was just built?

The relay race is not over yet.

What is the real traditional culture? During the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and Lu Wang's Neo-Confucianism were both criticized by Wang Fuzhi. In the Republic of China, the so-called masters of the Republic of China who ran all over the streets pulled out a bunch of fallacies and heresies of the Qing Dynasty, new bottles of old wine, a national study and a new Confucianism.

The masters of the Republic of China are a group of masters of swill culture. Neo-Confucianism is a group of Buddhist sticks that are insane. The academic intellectuals who spread western learning to the east are a group of foreign devils who forget their ancestors and rely on foreign self-respect. Can such a culture be called traditional culture? Isn't it shameful to put intellectuals covered in swill in the bullpen?

If such a culture is called traditional culture, I am afraid that the Yellow Emperor will not agree, Lao Zi will not agree, and Confucius and Mencius will not agree. Wang Fuzhi wouldn't agree. Wang Fuzhi also said that these people covered in swill are worse than animals.

The real traditional culture is not to teach people to serve monsters, to be slaves, or to be obedient babies, but to be benevolent, gentleman and gentleman. Step by step, finally, through heaven and earth, extraordinary, become the sum of Wang Fu and Mao Zedong.

Why can Mao Zedong integrate Taoism, Confucianism and Legalism? Because Taoism, Confucianism and Legalism all say the same thing: the sage inside and the king outside. In Mao Zedong, he almost perfectly embodies the characteristics of inner saints and outer kings.

If the Yellow Emperor, Lao Zi, Zhuangzi, Confucius and Mencius, Xunzi, Guan Zhong, Shang Yang, Han Fei and Wang Fuzhi are resurrected, these sages with imperial skills will surely give heartfelt admiration when they see that China has produced a giant like Mao Zedong. The inner sage and the outer king are the central idea and essence of Mao Zedong's book.

National rejuvenation is a relay race. The relay race is not over yet. Culture is the most fundamental driving force of a nation. Inspired by Wang Fuzhi, Sun Wen and Mao Zedong took the world as their responsibility and completed the China Revolution.

Then, many people got lost because our cultural soil collapsed. Many people have forgotten Wang Fuzhi and Mao Zedong. Just after decades of peaceful life, they have forgotten the initial intention and ambition of the national revolution.

If a nation loses its culture, it will forget who it is. When a nation forgets who it is, it will look for self-identity in other cultures. Mao Zedong did not call on Americans to negotiate for opening to the outside world, so that the people of China could become spiritual Americans.

Peace between Mao Zedong and the United States has brought decades of peace to the people of China. In these decades of peaceful days, Mao Zedong's economic weakness has been plagued, and China's economic shortcomings have finally caught up in the next few sticks. After the economy catches up, then what? Then many people forget that they are taking part in a cruel relay race.

Economically successful but culturally vulgar. In this vulgar era that has not been seen for 5,000 years, when we talk about Mao Zedong, do we just talk about his cover? Are we just talking about Mao Zedong as a Facebook person? Have we really read this book carefully?

Do we still remember who we are in this vulgar era that we haven't seen in five thousand years? Do we remember where we started? Do we remember where we are going? Can you understand Wang Fuzhi's loneliness and anger? Can we understand the loneliness and hardship of Mao Zedong? Can we understand the China Revolution? Can we understand the world revolution? Knowing all this, we can understand what China is and what national rejuvenation is.
