The divergence between humans and apes. Only a few stones have passed by since childhood. In the furnace of copper and iron, flames are turned over. When will you guess it? It's just through thousands of cold and heat. Rare are the open smiles in the world. On the battlefield, bows are drawn, and the moon is arched. The blood has flowed, and the original has been imitated. After finishing a chapter, snow falls from the head, but only a few traces remain. The sacred deeds of the Five Emperors and Three Sovereigns have deceived countless passersby. How many famous figures have there been. After the fame of Diao Zhi and Zhuangzi, Chen Wang rose and waved the golden axe. The song is not yet finished, and the east is already white. — Mao Zedong, Spring 1964, "A New Lyric · Reading History"
From ancient times to the present, people's behavior (whether political, managerial, or business) may have many ways, and their views may be varied, but from the perspective of strategy, people in any behavior and view ultimately conform to the principle of pursuing profit and avoiding harm. Looking back at the emperors in history, they are the figures at the peak of power in their time. They are not only representatives of power but also manipulators of the times. Without the blood of insight into power and the courage to take responsibility, their power will be destroyed, and even their lives will be at risk. If so, they are at most mere offerings on the altar of the times, regardless of whether they achieve success. They are in the palaces of jade and jade, but they must endure the cold that comes from high altitudes. They must find the best point of interest convergence between the imperial power, the nobility, and the common people, and maximize the normal order of the class society. All of this proves that the way of the kings and the in the dynasties is the theoretical source of strategy and momentum, power and change, clarity and decision-making. In the eyes of every wise person, they are no different from the soul of modern management.
