Mingdao Moment 

Reform has become a timeless event, but maintaining stability is only temporary.

The ultimate meaning of this millennium old poem in the present is to let us see a third path beyond "lying flat" and "involution" - to be friends of time, with the mindset of "success does not need to be in me", and to become "reformers" in our own lives.

Today in history  

Wang Anshi: The Wall Breaker of a Thousand Years of Solitude

nine hundred and thirty-nineYears ago, Wang Anshi, a politician, writer, thinker, and reformer of the Northern Song Dynasty in China, passed away. He was born in the misty rain of Jiangnan, butIron bones split through the frozen soil of the era. He is a Confucian scholar, but he personally broke the shackles of the classics——"Jinggong New School"Like thunder, awakening the rigid ideological sky of the Song Dynasty; He is a literary figure, his prose is like a solitary pine on a cliff, his poetry is like a deep pool reflecting the moon, shining alone in the starry sky of the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song dynasties; He is also a lonely reformer, with new policies such as the Qingmiao Law and the Market Reform Law, which are like surgical knives aimed at the chronic problem of land consolidation. Even if it is bloody, he is willing to do so. When the spring breeze of rural revitalization blows through the fields, the wisdom that is in line with the Qingmiao method is still sprouting. The Qingmiao Law replaces high interest loans with government credit, which can be regarded as an ancient practice"targeted poverty alleviation"The template. The operational logic of rural cooperative banks today vaguely reflects the institutional design of the fields and fields in the past.

History is never a simple cycle, but great souls will always be reborn in new forms——Just like his beloved plum blossom:"Yao Zhi is not snow, for there is a hidden fragrance."To commemorate Wang Anshi is not only to pay tribute to a lost soul, but also to awaken a spirit that will never fade: when everyone kneels down to worship tradition, someone always needs to stand as the flag of dawn.
