1. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. ——Gu Yanwu
Note: It means that every common person has an unshirkable responsibility for the rise and fall of major events in the world. This is the point of view put forward by Gu Yanwu in "Rizhilu·Zhengshi", and the eight-character written pattern came from Liang Qichao.
2. The sound of wind and rain and the sound of reading are all in my ears; I care about everything about my family, state, and world affairs. ——Gu Xiancheng
Note: This couplet was written by Gu Xiancheng, leader of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty ("Ming Lian Tan Qu" 275). The first couplet combines the sound of reading and the sound of wind and rain, which is both poetic and profound. The second line contains the ambition of harmonizing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. The wind is against the rain, the home is against the country, the ears are against the heart, it is extremely neat, especially the repeated words in conjunction, like hearing the sound of books. It is still of great significance today: scholars should not only read good books, but also care about the country, politics, and world affairs, and be more attentive to understanding the various situations in the world, rather than reading rote books.
3. I dare not forget about my country even though I am in a humble position. The coffin must be closed before the matter is settled. ——Lu You
Note: Selected from "Sickness in the Book" written by Lu You in the Song Dynasty. Meaning: Although he has a low status, he has never forgotten his responsibility to care about the country and the people. Only after a person dies can his merits and demerits be assessed.
4. Worry about the world’s worries first, and rejoice after the world’s happiness. ——Fan Zhongyan
Note: From Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower" in the Song Dynasty, the original sentence is: It must be said: "Be worried about the world's worries first, and be happy after the world's happiness." It means to put the country and nation's interests into consideration. Put interests first, worry about the future and destiny of the motherland, and sweat and bleed for the happiness of the people in the world.
5. If you live and die for the benefit of the country, why should you avoid it because of good or bad luck? ——Lin Zexu
Note: These are two lines from a poem by Lin Zexu, my country’s first national hero in modern times. Meaning: As long as it is beneficial to the country, he is willing to sacrifice his own life and will never avoid it because he may be harmed. The generous tragic song left by Lin Zexu embodies the great righteousness of the Chinese nation and inspires countless people with lofty ideals. However, speaking from my heart, every time I think of Lin Zexu's situation at that time, I sigh with regret.
6. The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city has deep vegetation in spring. ——Du Fu
Note: From Du Fu's "Spring View". Meaning: The capital of the country has fallen and the city is in ruins. Although the mountains and rivers are still the same, there are weeds everywhere and the trees are green. It reflects the poet's beautiful sentiments of loving the country and missing his family.
7. The Hu is not dead yet, the hair on the temples is autumn first, and the tears are empty. ——Lu You
Note: From the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You's "Revelation of Heartfelt Feelings". "Hu is not dead", saying that the country's revenge has not been avenged; "Autumn on the temples", sighing that one is old; "tears flowing empty", complaining that one's ambition is difficult to reach; three three-character short sentences, "one sad thing, one thing", and The form of the couplet forms a rhyme, and the nine characters express a lifetime's thoughts.
