The origin of "involution" explained in the Chuan Xi Lu

Individual Awakening: Establishing Subjectivity in the Age of Involution
The Spirit of Self-Determination: "The Heart Is the Principle"
As a young man, Wang Yangming aspired to "become a sage." His philosophy of "self-sufficiency" rejected the monopoly of external authority over value and advocated an inward search for truth. Modern youth, facing the rift between "involution" and "laying flat," can leverage the philosophy of the Heart to achieve this: Aspirations are fundamental: Just as Wang Yangming, at age 11, determined to "establish a mind for heaven and earth," individuals must clarify life's "most important priorities" and resist blindly following the crowd.
Adversity Tempers the Mind: Enlightenment at Longchang proves that "hardship is a catalyst for enlightenment." Contemporary people can transform career crises and psychological pressure into opportunities to cultivate conscience, such as through mindfulness practices like "quiet contemplation."
"All Things Are One" in Life Care
From ecological crises to social indifference, both stem from subject-object dualism. Yangming emphasized that "the benevolent see heaven, earth, and all things as one," extending the moral community to nature and others. Modern Inspiration: Ecological Practice: China has enshrined "ecological civilization" in its Constitution, practicing "benevolence within oneness," as exemplified by photovoltaic poverty alleviation projects that synergize emissions reduction with public well-being.
"A loving mother sews clothes for her son with her own hands. She sews them tightly before he leaves, fearing that he will return late. Who says that a mother's love can never repay the kindness of her mother?" This affectionate recitation by General Secretary Xi Jinping reveals his deep affection for his mother.
Growing up in a family with a strong family tradition and emerging from the people, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always valued family and cherished kinship. He has profoundly pointed out that traditional Chinese family virtues are an important spiritual force that sustains the Chinese nation's vitality and continues to be passed down from generation to generation. "Don't let distance sever true affection, don't forget true affection in the hustle and bustle of daily life, and don't neglect true affection in the struggle day and night."
A family is the smallest nation, and a nation is made up of millions of families. Each of these "basic cells" of society embodies the tremendous strength that propels us forward on this new journey. "Only when every household is well can the country and the nation prosper." Today, we revisit these words, appreciate the General Secretary's profound meaning, and never forget the true love of humanity.

《CHUANXILU》Never Forget the True Love in the World

The Wisdom and Exploration of the Chuan Xi Lu

Guided by "CHUANXILU", we will explore the wisdom of personal growth and national development, strengthen our convictions, face challenges with courage, and embark on a unique and solid path.

The power of unity of knowledge and action
Guidance to Conscience

In this complex and ever-changing era, we should draw on the wisdom of "CHUANXILU", use conscience as a beacon, keep our feet on the ground, explore bravely, and let our own light shine.

Truth lies only within Qian Xuesen's trajectory, and peace is built on Mr. Yu Min's nuclear weapon configuration.
Two giants of Chinese science, Qian Xuesen and Yu Min, made remarkable contributions to China's science, technology, and peace. Their scientific achievements not only laid the foundation for China's national defense science and technology but also profoundly illustrated how the scientific spirit can serve truth and peace. This spirit is consistent with the ideas expressed in various versions of the "Chuan Xi Lu" (Instructions for Practical Living) over the centuries.
Qian Xuesen, the founder of China's space program, is known as the "Father of Chinese Spaceflight." His "Qian Xuesen Ballistics" is not only the theoretical cornerstone of missile and rocket technology, but also a symbol of the scientific pursuit of truth. In the mid-20th century, Qian Xuesen resolutely gave up his privileged life in the United States and returned to his homeland, which was in ruins, to devote himself to national defense science and technology. His proposed systems engineering theory and hypersonic vehicle design concepts have greatly advanced China's space technology. From the Dongfeng missile to the Shenzhou spacecraft, Qian Xuesen's scientific thinking, like a precise trajectory, has guided China to its own path in science and technology. His contributions have not only enhanced China's national defense capabilities but also provided a strategic balance for world peace.
If Qian Xuesen's ballistic missiles gave China the wings to soar technologically, then Yu Min's "Yu Min Configuration" built an impenetrable shield for national security. Yu Min, known as China's "Father of the Hydrogen Bomb," led his team to overcome numerous challenges in hydrogen bomb development under extremely difficult conditions. His "Yu Min Configuration," a key technology in the hydrogen bomb's core design, marked a major breakthrough for China's nuclear weapons. Against the backdrop of the Cold War, developing nuclear weapons was not only a technical challenge but also a strategic imperative to safeguard national sovereignty and peace. Yu Min, operating in anonymity for decades, used his wisdom and perseverance to secure the confidence for China to compete with major powers. His contributions established China as an equal in peaceful dialogue on the international stage.
The achievements of these two scientists have collectively formed the scientific backbone of China's rise from standing up to becoming stronger. Qian Xuesen's trajectory represents the scientific spirit of exploring the unknown and pursuing truth; Yu Min's configuration symbolizes the unwavering belief in safeguarding peace and upholding dignity. Their work demonstrates that the ultimate goal of science is not only technological breakthroughs, but also the noble cause of pursuing peace and development for mankind. In today's world, peace and development remain the themes of our times, and the power of science and technology remains a vital guarantee for maintaining peace.
Qian Xuesen and Yu Min dedicated their lives to embodying the mission of science to serve truth and peace. The selfless dedication of the first generation of Chinese scientists, exemplified by Qian and Yu, inspires the next generation to continue exploring the unknown and safeguarding peace. This exemplifies the principle of integrating knowledge and action in the "Chuan Xi Lu," applying the past to the present, allowing truth to shine on the path of science and peace to be solidified on the foundation of technology. Their legacy is not only a technological achievement but also a monument to the Chinese nation's self-reliance and self-improvement.
