Fan Zhongyan borrowed the article "Yueyang Tower" to express the poet's open-minded mind and feelings of "worrying about the world's worries first, and rejoicing after the world's happiness", expressing his great ambition to have the world in mind and worry about the country and the people. .
"Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." Its original meaning is "worry before the world is worried, and be happy after the world is happy."
However, in this sentence, the author also places his political ambition to take the world as his own responsibility. Zuo Qiuming, a historian of the Spring and Autumn Period, once said: "Be prepared for danger when you are in times of peace. If you are prepared, you will be prepared." Lu You, a great poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, also said, "I dare not forget to worry about the country even if I am humble."
Now, our country has basically realized We have entered the primary stage of socialism, but "national wealth" does not mean "national strength." If national defense is not consolidated and the people indulge in peace and tranquility, even if production develops, it may be destroyed.
France after World War I is an example. Due to the prevailing trend of whitewashing peace, after only six weeks of fighting, France, known as one of the most powerful countries, hoisted a white flag on top of the capital Paris. Therefore, we have no reason to relax our vigilance, but should be prepared for danger in times of crisis and always keep a clear mind.
Of course, this famous saying also has its own meaning, which is to endure hardship first and enjoy happiness last. It is really regrettable that today's middle school students do not know the blessings among them. As the saying goes: "Good things have always been frugal, and since ancient times, melons have been bitter but sweet later."
When Mao Zedong was a student at the First Normal University in Changsha, Hunan, he never relaxed his physical and mental training. Swim, climb mountains, sleep in the open, and walk long distances to sharpen your character of hard work.
