"If you have enough food and clothing, you will know the etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you will know the honor and disgrace." This saying comes from the famous politician Guan Zhong of the Spring and Autumn Period Qi State . Lin: rice warehouse. It means that only when people have enough food can they understand etiquette, and only when they have enough food and clothing can they know honor and disgrace. The original text of this sentence " Guanzi·Herdsman " is "If you have a solid warehouse, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace." Sima Qian changed "ze" to "er" in "Historical Records: Biography of Guan Yan", emphasizing that "a solid warehouse" and "sufficient food and clothing" are the premise and foundation of "knowing etiquette" and "knowing honor and disgrace".
According to the "Historical Records: Biography of Guan Yan", after Guan Zhong became the prime minister of Qi, he paid attention to the people's opinions and carried out drastic reforms in the economy, politics and military of Qi. It was under the guidance of the idea that "a solid warehouse will reveal etiquette, and adequate food and clothing will reveal honor and disgrace", Qi's goods circulated, wealth accumulated, people lived a prosperous life, etiquette was promoted, and government orders were carried out unimpeded, and Qi soon embarked on the path of becoming rich and powerful. With the assistance of Guan Zhong, Qi Huangong "joined the nine princes and unified the world" and became the first overlord in the Spring and Autumn Period.

html On the evening of June 24, President Xi Jinping hosted a high-level dialogue on global development via video in Beijing and delivered an important speech entitled "Building High-Quality Partnerships to Create a New Era of Global Development."
In his speech, President Xi pointed out clearly that development is the eternal theme of human society. Then the conversation changed and he recalled his personal experience as a farmer in a small village on the Loess Plateau of China in the late 1960s.
In January 1969, Xi Jinping, who was less than 16 years old, came from Beijing to Liangjiahe Village, Yanchuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, and began his arduous but lifelong seven-year period as an educated youth - living in caves, sleeping on earthen beds, and enduring fleas. bites, eats and lives with the villagers, builds dams, carries dung, builds roads, and builds biogas. He joins the Communist Party of China here and serves as the party branch secretary of the brigade. One thing he looks forward to very much is for the villagers to have a full meal of meat and to eat meat often. However, this wish was difficult to realize at the time.
On October 7, 1975, Xi Jinping bid farewell to Liangjiahe in tears. He is gone, but his heart remains here. The difficulties in farming, food and clothing of the Liangjiahe folks, as well as their desire for a better life, are deeply imprinted in his mind. Xi Jinping recalled in an article: "When I came to the Yellow Land at the age of 15, I was confused and hesitant; when I left the Yellow Land at the age of 22, I already had a firm goal in life and was full of confidence. As a public servant of the people, Northern Shaanxi Plateau is my root, because it cultivated my unchanging belief: to do practical things for the people!”
Since then, doing practical things for the people has become Xi Jinping’s unswerving belief, and it has accompanied his political career. On February 13, 2015, the eve of the Spring Festival in the first year of the lunar calendar, General Secretary Xi Jinping returned to Liangjiahe to visit the villagers and conduct on-the-spot research on how to get rid of poverty and become rich in the old area.Today's Liangjiahe Village has undergone earth-shaking changes: asphalt roads have been built, villagers live in brick houses and have access to the Internet. The elderly enjoy basic elderly care services, villagers have medical insurance, and children can receive it. With a good education, eating meat is no longer a problem. The changes in the small village of Liangjiahe are a microcosm of China's social development and progress since the reform and opening up.
Through the continuous struggle of the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups, we have achieved the first centenary goal, built a moderately prosperous society in all respects on the land of China, historically solved the problem of absolute poverty, and are moving towards building a modern and powerful socialist country in an all-round way with high spirits. 's second centenary goal is approaching. This is not only a huge change in the lives of the Chinese people, but also a huge progress in human civilization. It is also an important contribution of China to the cause of world peace and development.
In the second paragraph of his speech at the Global Development High-Level Dialogue, President Xi Jinping quoted the words of an ancient Chinese philosopher, "A store of solid material will tell you etiquette, and having enough food and clothing will tell you honor and disgrace." He elaborated on the relationship between the construction of material civilization and the construction of spiritual civilization, and talked about it with his own experience. Thoughts: "Over the years, I have traveled throughout China's urban and rural areas and visited many countries. I deeply feel that only through continuous development can people's dreams of a healthy life and social peace be realized."
Looking around the world, development is the key to humankind The eternal theme of society. To solve various global challenges, the fundamental way is to achieve development. Facing numerous challenges and difficulties, we must hold on to the key to development. Only development can protect people's basic rights. Only development can eliminate the root causes of conflict. Only development can satisfy people's eager yearning for a better life. As President Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech: "This is an era full of challenges, but also an era full of hope. We must recognize the general trend of world development, strengthen our confidence, get up to speed, and become one. We will work hard to promote global development and create a development pattern that is inclusive, coordinated, inclusive, win-win, and cooperative.” At the end of his speech, President Xi Jinping passionately called on the world: “Let us strengthen our confidence and move forward.” Let’s work together in the right direction to build a high-quality partnership and create a new era of prosperity and development!”
