Everyone knows a couplet: "the sound of reading in the wind and rain is in my ears;" I care about family affairs, state affairs and everything in the world. "What is horizontal approval? thank you

Wind and rain, reading, hearing.

Family affairs, state affairs and everything in the world care about everything.

This couplet was written by Gu Xiancheng, the leader of Lindong Party in Ming Dynasty ("Talking about the Interest of Honesty" 275). Gu founded Donglin Academy in Wuxi. After giving lectures, he often comments on state affairs. Later, people used it to advocate "saving the country and not forgetting to study", which still has positive significance. The first couplet combines the sound of reading with the sound of wind and rain, which is both poetic and meaningful. The bottom line is the ambition to rule the country and level the world. Wind to rain, home to country, ears to heart. Extremely neat, especially when used with words, such as the sound of books.

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and every man is responsible. This is the social proposition of Gu, a famous Confucian scholar in the early Qing Dynasty, that is, the survival of the country and the nation is the responsibility of every citizen.

As for "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", China dictionary says: "every man is responsible, and every man is responsible. Gu's Record of Japanese Knowledge ... So it is said that "everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world", which means that every ordinary person is responsible for the prosperity of the country and the nation.

The idiom "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" has been circulating for many years and is said to be ancient. It's about which book to write. But no one has ever pointed it out.

Liu Jiexiu searched Gu's writings one by one, and only found the following passage in chapter 13 of "Zhengshi" of "The History of Japan": Is there a debate about national subjugation, national subjugation and national subjugation? Yue: change the surname to his surname, which is called national subjugation; Benevolence is an obstacle, but as for the ratio of animals cannibalizing each other, people will cannibalize each other. This is the so-called death of the world ... the protector of the country, its princes, and the carnivores seek it; People who protect the world are cheap, and they have no responsibility!

Liu Jiexiu continued to search, and finally found the answer in The Collection of Restaurants: China, a country with thousands of years of civilization, is surrounded by people, but it is inevitably close to animals. Whose shame is this? Gu said: every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, and every man is responsible! ("Drinking Room Collection, One of the Collected Works, A General Theory of Differentiating Methods, On Kindergarten Learning")

Today, if you want to get rid of national humiliation, it will be rehabilitated in our generation ... There are many husbands in our generation, and you want to do your best to rehabilitate. What can you do? I don't ask others, just ask me. Sneijn Gulingting said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. (ditto "Thirty-three episodes, learn from bitter experience and say three words")

After textual research, Liu Jiexiu thinks that from the reality of language development and application, the meaning of "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" originated from Gu, while the writing form of eight characters originated from Liang Qichao.
