In the five thousand years of China, our ancestors thrived on the land of China, creating one glory after another, which was praised by future generations. Analyzing history, it is not difficult to find that in every glorious period, there was a prosperous monarch without exception, such as Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Emperor Kangxi Michelle Ye ... They lived and worked in peace and contentment for the people and made outstanding contributions to social prosperity and stability. They ruled in different times, but they proved the same truth: those who won the hearts of the people won the world.
Both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are heroes in the history books, but the former has achieved eternal hegemony, while the latter has no choice but to commit suicide in Wujiang River. Is this really "this is God's will" as Xiang Yu said? No, compared with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu was more talented than Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu was arrogant, rarely talked to his subordinates, went his own way, was brave and feminine, and eventually went to extinction. On the contrary, Liu Bang has no outstanding personal talent, but he is good at listening to good words from all sides, and there are many counselors around him. He often talks with them, communicates with them from top to bottom, and chases Han Xin thousands of miles under the moon. Therefore, he can "prepare for a rainy day and win the battle thousands of miles away." Finally, he became the winner of the Chu-Han War.
Thousands of years passed, and a great historical figure-Emperor Kangxi appeared in China. He has more outstanding talents than Liu Bang, a stronger physique than Xiang Yu, and a more brave army than Temujin. Supposedly, he can sit in the dragon chair safely. However, he met with strong resistance from the people in the pass, just because he was Manchu, but most of his people were Han Chinese. In the eyes of the Han people, he will always be a foreigner and an outsider. Therefore, the anti-Qing struggles in various places emerged one after another, which became a heart disease of Kangxi. However, he never thought of using force to force Han to yield. Once, he went to the Great Wall to inspect the destruction of the city wall. In the face of the broken Great Wall, some ministers thought it should be strengthened to prevent attacks, but Kangxi firmly said: "What I want to build is the Great Wall in the hearts of the people, which is several times stronger than the real Great Wall!" Yes, it is a wise gentleman's choice. He understands the truth that "those who win the hearts of the people win the world". Later, he visited privately for many times, observed the people's feelings, touched countless people with his sincerity, and finally made the people surrender to him and become a wise gentleman.
"Taking history as a mirror, we can know ancient and modern times." Looking back from the past to the present, we can easily see that it is essential to communicate with the people in order to achieve great cause and unify the world, because-those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
Comment: This is a historical article. The central argument of the article is that "those who win the hearts of the people win the world". The historical materials and themes of Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Kangxi are very appropriate and convincing, closely surrounding the theme of "communication". Moreover, this article is fluent in sentences, quick in thinking and handy in historical materials. The little author takes time as the order and has a large spatial span. From the Western Han Dynasty to the Manchu Dynasty, it was natural.
