The key to the rule of Zhenguan lies in "the rule of conduct", that is, doing something and being positive. More importantly, the direction of this behavior is not to serve itself, nor to benefit a class, but to benefit the people all over the world. This is especially worth learning in China today, and it must also be well summarized and learned by the people of China in globalization (so that China can actively participate in the great cause of global human peace and development). At the beginning of Zhenguan, the country was still suffering from war and the people were displaced. However, after careful management by Emperor Taizong, his ministers and local officials, in less than a few years, the social situation improved rapidly: refugees returned home, the land was re-cultivated, and agriculture harvested year after year. At that time, rice and millet were only three or four yuan per bucket. Social security, people's food and clothing, government bureaucracy, business development, etc. all existed "empty side, military forces did not move". , have achieved unprecedented new scenes. Even businessmen who are traveling and students who are taking science exams can travel between places without food, which is rare even in today's China. Prosperity and people's happiness,1China 380 years ago.
For introspection and observation, Emperor Taizong also had an amazing objective angle, which made many good ministers dare to speak out. He compares himself with suggestions and corrects his behavior from time to time, which is still valuable. As mentioned earlier, the doctor Wei Zhi sometimes protested in public and even offended Zhu Jun, which made Emperor Taizong very angry. He even couldn't control his emotions and wanted to kill Wei Zhi (which shows the intolerance of the feudal system), but he was finally angered by the country's sense of honor. When Wei Zhi died, Emperor Taizong couldn't help crying. Regarding the evaluation of Wei Zhi, Taizong combined his own experience with the experience of the country, saying: "A husband can take copper as a mirror, straighten his clothes, take the ancient as a mirror, know the rise and fall, and take people as a mirror to understand his gains and losses." . I always protect these three mirrors to prevent myself from passing by. Now that Wei Zhi is dead, so is a mirror. It can be seen that Emperor Taizong's attitude towards good ministers and his sincerity of objective self-respect.
Respect for history can show a country's positive attitude and profound thinking. The different attitudes of countries around the world towards history clearly show this point. This respect for history is not blindly reminiscing and superstitious, nor is it completely forgetting the past history, but drawing the essence of its civilization from history, inheriting and carrying forward it. Therefore, respecting history first benefits from learning history, while learning history benefits from methods, and the choice of methods benefits from our attitude towards history. Learning because of respect is a good attitude. Emperor Taizong's attitude towards history is very good, and his "taking history as a mirror, you can learn to rise and fall" is a good example. Many of us are busy with the economy and enterprises today, but the essence is not to really find the right method, but more often to lose our judgment. Without historical judgment, the result is superficial. If a society has only skin and hair left, its benefits will not last long.
