Government relief is top priority


China's vast territory, in the context of this broad, over frequent natural disasters. 2 years ago still remain in the memory of the earthquake in Wenchuan, the Southwest drought has not completely eliminated, a strong earthquake took place in Yushu in Qinghai Province. Each occurrence of natural disasters will affect every Chinese, and we also see the Chinese government's efforts for disaster relief. In fact, the government in the rescue and help people tide over the difficulties, not the gift, but the Government's part, the government should do. The government's request, the history of China has a long tradition, no one can do that government can not get the support of the people.

modern political theory has often emphasized that the rights belong to the public. In fact, the ancient Chinese have already put forward the view, put forward this view of modern Western, but to the ancient Chinese study of the results. Even if many people are affected by the severe impact of Eurocentric, unwilling to listen to this, I still want to have to be emphasized in order to reverse the theory that some people in the wrong point of view, under the guidance of errors. Many people criticize the modern Confucianism, Confucianism is also seen as the ruling class to exploit people's tools, this is a huge mistake. For example, the physical representative of Zhu Xi once said: “the world who the world of the world, a person of non-private.” Such claims abound in Chinese history. As Mencius, Wei Zheng, who's famous speech, in this example would not have 11 a. Therefore, the ancient Chinese politics is also a democracy, but forms with modern Western is different. Ancient Chinese Government not only to say, but also the time required to do so. The specific content in doing disaster relief is a necessary task.

ancient Chinese government relief most likely to be remembered that the “Open up food”, where affected, the people of starvation, the government has the responsibility to “Open up grain” , to provide food for the hungry people. If not enough local granary, but also transported from nearby. To be honest, this kind of thing is rare in European history, even if there are mostly personal behavior, or does not become a system, not become the government's own work. The reasons for this situation lies in the European long-term productivity backward, food production is not adequate, not many rich hoarded food in order to prepare against natural disasters. “Food” such a concept, the understanding of Europe as the ancient Chinese deep.

ancient Chinese Government to the requirements of disaster relief, but also in “Heaven and Man” in the theory. People today use “Heaven and Man” theory as a superstition, if the position of standing on the ancient people will see, “Heaven and Man” theory of constraints on the Government and the Emperor tool. It can be very broad, whether it is drought, flood, or locust, cream disaster, or even a special astronomical phenomena, such as meteors, eclipses, etc., can be used to warn against the government, asked the Government to take concrete actions to respond to the disaster, or change some of the inappropriate policies. Not long ago, the Americas, Haiti and Chile, two countries also had strong earthquake, the situation in Haiti after an earthquake caused anxiety, it can not on its own to respond to disasters, even if the Government of Haiti to go all out for disaster relief is powerless. Contrast what we will find that the reason why ancient Chinese Government will have responsibility for such relief, and China is a big country is also relevant. As a big country, although often around the calamity, but a person in trouble, all support is easier to achieve in large countries. On the contrary, small countries like in Europe, even with this idea, but also as elusive as Haiti. Yea a small country, in addition to the international community, basically only working hard and making the copies. The so-called international community, are only recent phenomena.

modern society, compared with the ancient Chinese government, of course, be developed. Government's responsibility in addition to disaster relief, but also providing basic welfare for the people. In comparison, the ancient Chinese Government in this regard than does modern society. But we can not blame the ancients. Wealth creation capabilities of ancient society than it is now much lower, the overall wealth of a society far less modern society, therefore, the ancient Chinese Government for the main financial focus for disaster relief, which was already very advanced. We in the modern economy, of course, the people may require the Government to provide more basic protection, however, treat it with such a request the government, is a bit inconsiderate.

So, no matter which corner in China, as long as the occurrence of various disasters, the Government must occur, and must go all out to take the lead in disaster relief, this is a fine tradition of Chinese politics. Yushu in Qinghai Province after the earthquake, the collapse of housing a large area, I see the central government leaders say, have to rebuild a new Yu-shu, which shows the Government's response is not limited to the immediate disaster, but the same as the Wenchuan earthquake, extended to disaster in the future. This is the people need government, real people doing real work for. We hope that this image of the government not only reflected in the aftermath of natural disasters, in the ordinary in every policy at all government levels should reflect this spirit. Hope that the people in Yushu early through. Beijing Today's weather is not good, low temperatures do not know how the weather affected areas. Yushu relief work, not wish to be the weather too much.
