Zixia stresses trust as the foundation of governance and advice. A gentleman wins people’s trust before assigning labor and gains a ruler’s trust before offering remonstrance; without trust, his efforts will be misread as oppression or slander.
– Mao Zedong · 1927 Our army is the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army,Our banner bears the sickle and axe.We shall not linger around Kuanglu,But march straight toward the land of Xiao and Xiang.
