Those who know have thousands of books, and those who practice have no boundaries. In the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes rose up together, the world was in constant strife, and the people were displaced. At that time, there was a deep mountain called "Mingli Valley". In the valley lived an old man who had read a lot of books and was familiar with the past and present. Everyone called him "Mr. Wanjuan". Mr. Wanjuan studied hard since he was a child, and he knew the astronomy and calendar, the strategies of governing the country, the governance of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the exquisite remarks of various schools of thought. He was familiar with it, and he could quote scriptures casually to analyze the general trend of the world. The princes from hundreds of miles around all sent people with heavy gifts and money to seek advice, hoping to get good advice on how to govern the country and make their princely countries strong and prosperous. Near Mingli Valley, there are three adjacent small countries, namely Chongwen Kingdom, Shangxing Kingdom, and Zhongyong Kingdom. When the monarchs of the three kingdoms heard about Mr. Wanjuan's name, they all visited him personally, hoping to obtain the theory of unifying the hearts of the people and enriching the country and strengthening the army. Mr. Wanjuan saw that the three monarchs were sincere, so he taught them all the theories of governance that he had studied all his life: "The way to govern a country is to lighten corvees and pay taxes, encourage farmers to teach farmers, clean up officials, and select talents. Internally, appease the people, let the tillers have their fields and the residents have their homes; externally, be good neighbors and friendly, not easily provoke wars, and save the country." This is the eternal truth of governing the country. If you act on it, the country will be strong and the people will be happy." He talked endlessly, from the establishment of the court to the civil governance, from the storage of grain and grass to the training of the army. Every theory was clear and precise. He heard the three monarchs nodding frequently and leaving happily. After the monarch of Chongwen State returned to the palace, as if he had found a treasure, he immediately summoned the civil and military officials of the court to preach Mr. Wanjuan's theory of governing the country verbatim. He also ordered people to carve these principles on the stone walls of the palace, and led the ministers to recite them three times every morning. He was obsessed with studying theories, convening literati from all over the world to jointly annotate Mr. Wanjuan's remarks, and compiled one after another classics on governing the country. The collection of books in the palace was piled up like a mountain. The ministers imitated the monarch one after another and talked eloquently all day long. When they opened their mouths, they would follow the teachings of sages and when they closed their mouths, they would use famous sayings about governing the world. Whoever can memorize Mr. Wanjuan's theory more familiarly and explain it more subtly will be appreciated by the monarch. But no one really implemented these principles: the people were still heavily taxed, the fields were barren and uncultivated, corrupt officials were rampant in the countryside, the army neglected to train, and the weapons were rusty. Some ministers came to remonstrate, asking the monarch to reduce taxes and appease the people according to the theory. However, the monarch of Chongwen State was furious: "How outrageous! Mr. Wanjuan's theory is exquisite. As long as we study it with concentration and understand its true meaning, the country will naturally become stronger. Why do we need to do such rough things?" Stupid practice? It is the duty of monarchs and ministers to study the theories of sages!" Over time, no one dared to implement it. Everyone in Chongwen country was a "sage" who knew the way to govern the country, but the country was declining day by day, and the people were hungry and cold, and complained. After the monarch of Zhongyong returned to the palace, he not only wanted to study the theory, but also felt that some action was needed, so he adopted a compromise. He occasionally ordered some tax reductions and exemptions, but was reluctant to give up generous treasury revenue; occasionally ordered the punishment of corrupt officials, but he took care of the feelings of the powerful and did it hastily; occasionally ordered the reclamation of farmland, but did not send officials to supervise it, and ultimately it was just a formality. He always felt that he already understood the principles of governing the country, and it was enough to do a little practical work. He neither wanted to bother with the theory nor put in the effort to implement it thoroughly. As a result, the theory of state governance became a piece of paper, and sporadic measures were ineffective. The country retreated instead of advancing, and was gradually overtaken by small neighboring countries, and fell into a dilemma of internal and external troubles. As for the monarch of Shangxing State, after returning to the palace, he did not rush to promote theories or compile classics. Instead, he immediately summoned the core ministers to formulate implementation plans one by one based on Mr. Wanjuan's strategy of governing the country. He first ordered a three-year tax exemption for the people, went to the fields in person, encouraged the people to reclaim wasteland, and sent officials to guide farming and distribute grain seeds and farm tools; then he rectified the administration, personally verified the officials' performance, severely punished those who were corrupt and incompetent, and selected those from poor families with practical ability to serve as officials; then he trained the army without any pretense, focusing on improving the actual combat capabilities of the soldiers, repairing the city, and strengthening border defenses. During the implementation process, obstacles were repeatedly encountered: the nobles and powerful people opposed tax reductions and exemptions and complained that their interests were harmed; lazy government officials resisted the rectification of officialdom and tried every means to delay and perfunctory; small groups on the border were provocative and disrupted the farming order. But the monarch of Shang Xingguo never backed down. He knew very well that no matter how good Mr. Wanjuan's theory was, it would be a castle in the air if it was not implemented. He withstood the pressure, forcefully suppressed opposition forces, and personally supervised every decree to ensure that every strategy for governing the country was implemented. At first, the results were not obvious. Some people laughed at him for not studying his exquisite theories and doing trivial things all day long, but it was difficult to achieve anything great. But the monarch of Shangxingguo remained unmoved and remained down-to-earth, implementing the administrative decree step by step. In three years, the crops in the fields of Shangxing State were abundant, and the granaries were piled up like mountains; the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and did not pick up things on the road; the court officials governed the Qingming Dynasty, and the officials performed their duties; the army and horses were strong, and no one dared to invade the borders. On the other hand, Chongwen State was still immersed in empty theories. The monarchs and ministers could talk about the way of governing the country, but they were helpless in the face of the situation of famine among the people, empty treasury, and disorganized army. They clearly knew the way to solve the problem, but they never wanted to do it. In the end, the national power was exhausted, the people fled one after another, and they were easily annexed by the surrounding small countries. The Zhongyong state, on the other hand, gave up halfway, its political orders were vacillating, and its people lost all support, and it soon perished. Later, Shangxing State became increasingly prosperous and became a powerful country in the Spring and Autumn Period. The monarch personally went to Mingli Valley to thank Mr. Wanjuan. Mr. Wanjuan looked at the scene of peaceful country and people in front of him and said with emotion: "I know all the theories of governing the country in the world, but I can only sit and talk about it. Although you are not as well-read as me, you can put the theory into practice and truly integrate knowledge and action. You are the real master of governing the country!" This fable has been passed down through the ages and reveals the simplest truth in the world: knowing thousands of principles is just the starting point for becoming a sage, and being able to implement the principles to the letter is the real top ability. There is no shortage of people in the world who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable about theory, but what is lacking is people who are down-to-earth and resolute in their execution. Many people have heard countless successful methods and mastered countless practical principles, but they still achieve nothing. The fundamental reason is that they only stay at the level of "knowing" and never take the step of "doing". Those who truly stand at a high level and can control the situation are never talkers who only understand theory, but doers who combine knowledge with action. Even if others reveal all the top theories and most effective methods, without the ability and determination to implement them, they will ultimately be unable to achieve them. This is the cruelest dimensionality reduction blow. Those who know can understand the truth, and those who practice can achieve things. Only when knowledge and action are united can we be invincible. This is the wisdom in life that has passed through thousands of years of history and is still worthy of being remembered by the world.
