No matter from which aspect, social construction cannot be rushed.
Social reform requires ideals, but we must also respect the laws of nature. After all, human beings are creatures of nature. They do not step outside the three realms and are not within the five elements. Violating the laws of nature and acting too hastily will pay a huge price.
So Su Yonglin knew very well that it was understandable for someone who didn't know to make a mistake, but it was unforgivable for him, a person who knew, to stand by and watch.
The revolution carried out in the Ming Dynasty was an unprecedented social experiment. As the leader, Su Yonglin must be responsible for this great social experiment and continue it at all costs.
Therefore, Su Yonglin felt that he needed to analyze and demonstrate this trend of thought within the imperial court and the Renaissance Society, and make a wave of adjustments to curb this impetuous and aggressive momentum.
He decided to write a few articles and publish them to explain his views on this matter and influence public opinion by expressing his opinions.
He took some time and wrote two articles, namely "Prospects of an Ideal Social Form" and "Revolution Requires Not only Enthusiasm, but also Calmness."
In the first article, Su Yonglin looked forward to the heaven on earth in his dream.
It is an advanced society without exploitation, oppression, hoarding, and lawless elements. It describes everything that an advanced society should have, as well as people's daily lives, behavioral habits, etc.
Then in the second article, Su Yonglin compared the gap between the current actual state of the Ming Dynasty and everyone's ideal advanced social form, listed the most basic conditions needed to enter an advanced social form, and then looked at Let’s see how much you still have to achieve.
In Hongwu Political Commentary, Su Yonglin described the social form he wanted to build, and in these articles, he focused on describing it from all aspects, spending a lot of pen and ink describing some details of the ideal social form.
Starting from the most basic women's employment, personal income and education level, to the great wealth of material and spiritual world, from the difference in the division of labor in society and the general awareness that everyone is born equal and abiding by the law, to everyone's The individual’s free pursuit and ultimate realization of his or her highest personal value.
These are the worlds they, the revolutionaries, will ultimately create.
But how long is the road to this world? How long does it take to arrive? Will it be possible to arrive in more than ten years? Is it possible to enter by running wildly?
You can run wildly, but what about the person with disabled legs?
In the second article, Su Yonglin criticized some impetuous and aggressive ideas that emerged within the Renaissance Society and the current difficulties faced by the Ming Dynasty.
He believes that it is completely wrong to think that the ultimate ideal can be realized through some simple and crude means, and that an ideal society can be successfully established in just a few years or more.
Revolution is not just war and reform, but also large-scale construction, a complete renewal, and an upward struggle step by step.
This road is not only long, but also arduous. Not only is it difficult, it is also full of temptations and dangers. Revolutionaries may die and fall at any time, but if we want to lead to the final ideal society, this is the only road we can take, and there is no shortcut.
More importantly, no one knows how to reach this road, and no one knows how long it will take to arrive. As a leader, Su Yonglin is constantly exploring, thinking, cautious, and taking one step at a time.
What should be done at this stage, what should be done at the next stage, and only by persisting in every correct thing and adjusting every wrong thing can we reach the ideal destination.
Despite this, he has an absolutely firm will. He believes that all this will eventually come. He believes that the ideal society will eventually be successfully built and everyone can realize their highest ideals, even if this road takes a thousand or two thousand years. , three thousand years.
If he cannot see it, he will pass the ideal to the next generation, so that the next generation will take over the torch of the ideal and continue to move forward until the ideal comes to the world.
Now, their mission is to pave the way.
With lofty ideals, paving the way for future generations, move forward step by step, walking steadily and firmly.
The merit lies in the present and the benefit lies in the future. There is no need to pursue temporary false achievements, just as the Ming Dynasty tried its best to oppose and correct the false economic prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty.
These two articles entered the government and the Fuxinghui system through the channels of the General Administration of Printing and Shuren Publishing House, and soon entered the private sector, causing great repercussions in the Ming Dynasty, and even more repercussions within the imperial court and the Fuxinghui system. big.
Some people support Su Yonglin's view and believe that building an ideal society will take a long, long time and require persistence, rather than being achieved overnight. It is not very likely that the goal can be achieved overnight and with immediate results.
It’s not that our predecessors didn’t have people with lofty ideals, but they struggled and struggled for thousands of years before they got to this point. How can we expect to build an ideal society in a few years or more?
Even when you are sick and taking medicine, you have to pay attention to getting rid of the disease, let alone a national issue?
Their most basic task of oppression and exploitation has not yet been completed, so how can they say that they can quickly enter an ideal society?
Some people calmed down and began to think seriously about the current situation. They agreed with Su Yonglin's ideas and felt that solving problems one by one and then seeking development was the right path.
However, there are also many revival members who have reservations or are dissatisfied with this.
Su Yonglin has always encouraged Fuxing members to express their views on policies or seek help by writing to the central government. Therefore, it is very popular within the Fuxing Association to submit their views on current policies to the central government and fully express their existence and thoughts directly to the central government. .
Whether you support, oppose, praise, or criticize, as long as it is well-founded and what you say is true and valid.
There is such big hot news this time, and there are even more people who want to express their opinions.
Many grassroots members and some cadres wrote letters and documents to the headquarters of the Renaissance Society to express their different views on this matter. Thousands of letters were sent to Zhongdu on a large scale.
In the letter, many people felt that Su Yonglin's statement was slightly conservative.
Of course they are not saying that what Su Yonglin said is wrong, but they believe that since they know what an ideal society looks like, they should work hard to achieve it.
If there is any problem, solve it, concentrate on it, put all your energy on it, and complete the task in one go, rather than relying on time.
The ideal society described by Su Yonglin is very beautiful and is the goal they pursue. They believe in the existence of this beautiful society and are willing to believe that this society will eventually be realized, but they cannot wait for one thousand, two thousand or three thousand years.
They want to see the real arrival of this society.
They feel that time is too long, and they seize every day. They want to seize every moment to build and realize an ideal society, so that they and their descendants can live and grow in an ideal society.
They can endure hardship, but they do not want their descendants to still live in the old world.
Just like no one believed before that Su Yonglin could destroy the powerful Jin Kingdom within three years, but Su Yonglin just did it.
Therefore, even if it is ten times more difficult to build an ideal society than to destroy the Jin Kingdom, they are still confident that they can build an ideal society within thirty years and lead everyone to live an ideal life.
Some people shouted out their thoughts, and these thoughts were generally gathered into a slogan called "The Thirty-Year Revolution was Successful."
