() Yan Chaohui came to Xiema Town at Xu Sanxiao's invitation. Instead of staying at the guest house or Xu Sanxiao's house, he stayed at Wang Feng's house.
In the living room, Wang Feng and Yan Chaohui were discussing, while Xu Sanxiao listened carefully.
The two of them were polite to each other first, and Wang Feng said first: "I have read all of Mr. Yan's books. Your views are pragmatic. They are not only true insights, but also a great realm of integrating knowledge and action. I have benefited a lot from them in the past few years."
.”
Yan Chaohui said: "It's all just empty talk by scholars. Sitting in the rivers and lakes looking at temples, it's just people on the outside looking at people on the inside. There is no real knowledge or insights, let alone the unity of knowledge and action."
Wang Feng said: "In the past few years, there has been a trend in the officialdom of southwest China. Even Secretary Song said that officials should not just think about benefiting one generation for one term. Economic development should not be at the expense of the environment, but also to leave a legacy for future generations.
Because Qingshan is here, this change is inseparable from your hard work and advocacy."
Yan Chaohui said: "It's just a small effort. The duty of scholars of our generation is to go to Wu Cunjing to pass on culture. No matter we are far away in the rivers and lakes, or high in the temple, I dare to say that I have not lost this duty for a day."
Pass."
Xu Sanxiao offered some advice and said: "Teacher mentioned Jianghu for the second time today. In fact, I still don't understand the relationship between Jianghu and official circles in China. Anyway, you are free today, so why not chat more."
Yan Chaohui glanced at Wang Feng and said, "Xiao Wang, tell me."
Wang Feng did not refuse and talked eloquently: "Jianghu in the narrowest sense is the early Taoist, Buddhist and pagan secret societies, which can be traced back to the "Five Pecks of Rice Sect" and "Taiping Taoism" in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the "Mahayana Sect" in the Southern Dynasty until the Yuan Dynasty.
"White Lotus Sect", but the rise of large-scale secret society groups mainly occurred in the 300 years from the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, represented by the Luo Sect, the Huangtian Sect, the Wenxiang Sect, the Hongyang Sect, the Yuandun Sect, the Tiandihui, and the Ge Laohui.
, it is precisely because of these formed organizations first, and then there are frictions and grievances, that the so-called Jianghu initially formed."
Yan Chaohui raised his eyebrows and said: "Xiao Wang has a very solid historical background. You just said that this is Jianghu in the narrow sense. Can you talk about the broad sense?"
Wang Feng added: "The history of all countries in the world has more or less had some elements of Jianghu, such as knights, gangsters, cults, etc. Some groups are also keen on the Mafia "Godfather". It cannot be said that Jianghu is unique to China."
Yan Chaohui agreed, then took over the topic and said: "It should be said that secret societies and private relationships are common to human beings, but these commonalities have been cultivated and promoted differently in different time, space and culture. Looking at the world, only the Chinese Jianghu has ever
The Republic of China overturned the entire society in its supreme power, and it still affects the general public to a great extent, intervening in business culture and political operations. Only in China, or overseas Chinese societies, can the whole society become quack-like.
Jianghu conventions overwhelm formal institutions to influence society. This is a distinctive feature of Chinese Jianghu, so Chinese Jianghu can be called the giant in the world of human Jianghu."
Yan Chaohui talked about it together, just talk happily.
In recent hundreds of years, no matter how the upper-level institutions of Chinese society changed or how the feudal dynasties changed, Jianghu has always been an important factor in uniting civil society - the so-called "lower nine streams". Through class mobility - people from the lower class rose to the upper class, and gradually began to
The upper-level military, political and economic activities have an impact. The officialdom and the business world are endless, and the vast expanse is essentially the operation of rivers and lakes. There is feasting, feasting, singing every night, and foot bathing in saunas. It is not because Chinese people are lazy and lazy.
Rather, it is due to the actual needs of the operation of the arena. The arena needs entertainment, just like a group needs meetings, and a bureaucracy needs official documents.
When Xu Sanxiao heard this, his heart surged, and he said: "Mr. Yan has seen so clearly. I had this feeling after the meeting yesterday, but I just couldn't put it into words. The hidden rules in the officialdom are actually the incarnation of the rules of the world."
Wang Feng deeply agreed and said: "Although Jianghu conventions are the main technical mechanism for the phenomenon of corruption in Chinese officialdom in modern times, it cannot be denied that they are also the basic factor that has maintained the country from disintegration since the collapse of Confucianism in the late Qing Dynasty. For five hundred years,
, the fixed-farming family system that once lived and worked in peace and contentment collapsed. Under the new situation, immigrants need certain rules to manage, and Jianghu temporarily played the role of a shadow system."
Yan Chaohui said: "Let's go back to the question of Sanxiao just now. How the so-called rivers and lakes are formed, I think it can be boiled down to a few points."
"First, Chinese people talk about guanxi: guanxi is the social resources and credit ties formed by relatives and acquaintances. 'Multiple acquaintances, many paths', acquaintances help each other, seek common survival, and form a community of interests; secondly, human relations
: Renqing is the unwritten law for Chinese people to operate interpersonal relationships. It is a virtual medium with both emotional and interest components. It functions like currency and can sometimes be worth ten thousand yuan; Lecture 3: Face: Face is a thing that Chinese culture particularly emphasizes.
This kind of value is the norm for regulating interpersonal relationships and a tool for operating interpersonal relationships."
Wang Feng said: "There is one last point. I remember it was mentioned in a book that my husband wrote a few years ago."
"Finally, let's talk about 'Hun'. The word "Hong" is not easy to translate into foreign languages. It is a unique concept in the cultural context of Chinese rivers and lakes. In China, its meaning is self-evident and can be roughly divided into several levels: making money; living a good life.
To be nourished; to have face; to have status; to have good interpersonal relationships; to be prosperous. 'Hong' is the core value of Jianghu, a system of outlook on life, and the value goal and ultimate concern of the world of Jianghu. Mixing in Jianghu, shopping malls, and officialdom. This word
The knowledge here is enough to write a book."
Yan Chaohui laughed heartily and said: "I can hardly remember the joke I made many years ago. It's rare that you remember it so accurately, Xiao Wang. Now we are more and more interested in making tea and discussing heroes."
The two met each other late in life. They talked about politics and politics, analyzed current problems, discussed ancient and modern times, compared and compared, and borrowed ancient metaphors to describe the present. One has knowledge of hundreds of schools of thought, and his talents are like the ocean. The other has learned a lot and remembers it well, and puts what he has learned into practice.
This conversation was really full-on and passionate, and Xu Sanxiao's heart surged when he heard it.
Yan Chaohui said: "I feel ashamed to say it. I have been in the system for many years, but I have always been determined to kill the thieves. Many of my current ideas came from the past few years after retirement. Only at this age do I understand that cultivating personality should pursue idealism.
, but it’s absolutely necessary to do things, but it’s a pity that this realization came too late.”
Wang Feng said: "You will die if you hear the truth in the morning. It is never too late to realize the truth. In fact, you have done a lot of things and influenced many people. For example, Deputy Mayor Xu's concept of the unity of nature and man in governing the village."
It coincides with your idea. He is your student and can listen to your teachings at any time. I believe that there must be many young and promising cadres like Deputy Mayor Xu among your students. Maybe one day in the future,
Your ideas will become mainstream.”
Yan Chaohui said: "The root of China's problems lies in the profound influence of Jianghu rules on the officialdom system and even the entire society. Whether it is officialdom or society, who is on the top of the mountain and which dock is next to the other are clearly hierarchical, and officials do not dare to overstep these rules."
Progress, but turned a blind eye to the regulations within the Zhengba Jing'er system. This phenomenon becomes more obvious as you go to the bottom, and more profound as you go to the top. I have been thinking about this issue over the years, and later found that it is impossible to change the status quo. The Jianghu model has affected
More than ten generations of Chinese people are like the Yangtze River, which flows endlessly. It is better to drain it than to block it."
Wang Feng said: "For example, a cadre with a strong charlatanism like Deputy Mayor Xu, who understands practical matters and has an ability to do things that are unmatched by most cadres from formal colleges. If he can be well guided, I believe he will one day be successful."
We will definitely be able to fulfill Secretary Song’s words: serving as an official will benefit one party and leave a green mountain for future generations."
Yan Chaohui said: "People are like this, and so is the system. In fact, the so-called rivers and lakes rules can also be used by our ruling party. As long as the officials are well-educated, there is nothing about the so-called rivers and lakes rules in the officialdom that cannot be used. In fact, many of them have
The officials I serve are all highly cultivated in this field, such as Secretary Hong of the Shancheng City Committee."
Xu Sanxiao listened with rapt attention. He didn't get up until it was almost noon and said, "I have an important guest to receive today. Otherwise, I really want to stay here and chat with you two all day."
Wang Feng introduced the situation: "Mr. Yan, you must have heard of Mr. Zhao Yilong of Yangtze Dragon Group?"
Yan Chaohui was slightly moved and said, "Oh? Is he the guest of Sanxiao?"
Xu Sanxiao nodded and said: "Yes, the Xiema Town Economic Development Zone project has been stopped by the city due to the impact of the sinkhole incident. I am now planning a new project. I invited him here to discuss cooperation. This matter cannot be delayed.
, I have to communicate with Yang Hongling first."
Yan Chaohui said: "Sanxiao, please wait a moment. I'll tell you about contacting the TV station. You'd better take the time to contact Rongrong in the past two days. Qi Sinuo, the director of the Provincial TV News Department, she...
·Well, she was also one of my students in the past, and she was also Rongrong’s sister-in-law. On-site reporting required a lot of preliminary preparations. She hoped to have someone understanding to contact her. Now Qi Rongrong has taken her to live in Huxiao Villa. You
Let's see if the time is suitable and ask Rongrong to arrange a meeting for you."
······
Xu Sanxiao returned to Zhenzhengfu and went to see Yang Hongling first.
As soon as they met, Yang Hongling talked about the investigation team. Due to the large number of people coming, Xiema Town did not have a guest house of suitable size to provide accommodation. Currently, Ge Qiuming has taken these people to live in the Zhengfu Guest House in Yanyang County. In addition, Yang Hongling said
, Ge Qiuming has read out the decision of the Standing Committee of the Nanshan Municipal Party Committee in public. Due to the lack of scientific and accurate assessment of the geological structure of the area, it is recommended to temporarily suspend the construction project of the Huanxiema Town Economic Development Zone.
"I have reported to the county committee and county government our aftermath plan after the tiankeng incident, and also reported to the leaders the news that Mr. Zhao will come to Shema Town again. The leaders attach great importance to this matter, and the city leaders have instructed the work of the investigation team
For the time being, the investigation team remains in Yanyang County. Secretary Cheng instructed us that we must go all out to retain the Yangtze River Dragon Group and do a good job in maintaining stability. County Magistrate Gong also gave similar instructions. Now it depends on whether Mr. Zhao can
Arrived as promised."
It seems that the delaying strategy worked.
As soon as Yang Hongling finished speaking, Xu Sanxiao's cell phone rang. Li Yan called, saying that Mr. Zhao had arrived and was now talking to He Xiangu at home.
