The phrase "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" was first put forward in Gu's Record of Japanese Knowledge, and the background was that the Qing army entered the customs. The original sentence is: "those who protect the country, their princes and ministers seek it;" Those who protect the world are shameful and responsible. "
The language pattern of eight-character writing comes from Liang Qichao.
It means that the rise and fall of state affairs and the protection of the country from being overthrown are the duties of emperors, generals and ministers of civil and military affairs, and have nothing to do with ordinary people; And the rise and fall of world events, every common people has an unshirkable responsibility.
Originally from Zuo Zhuan and Lienv Zhuan.
