It was Gu Yanwu, a famous Confucian and thinker in the early Qing Dynasty, who proposed that everyone should be responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Liang Qichao summarized this patriotic thought into eight characters: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." This means that the survival of the nation is the responsibility of every citizen.

"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" is a well-known saying. This sentence was put forward by Gu Yanwu when the Qing army entered the customs. At that time, it was in "Japanese War" The original sentence in "Zhilu Zhengshi" is: "Those who protect the country, their kings and ministers who eat meat will seek it." Later generations simplified it to "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." This sentence is somewhat similar to The domineering quotation from the Han Dynasty in China "The barbarians are living in the mansion to show that they are thousands of miles away. Anyone who offends the powerful Han will be punished no matter how far away". Later generations simplified it to "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away". Introduction to Gu Yanwu

Gu Yanwu (1613.7.15-1682.2.15), Han nationality, was born in Qiandeng Town, Kunshan, Suzhou Prefecture (now Kunshan City, Jiangsu Province) in the south of the Ming Dynasty. His real name was Jiang, and his nickname was Fan Han. After the defeat of Nandu, he changed his name to Yanwu because he admired the conduct of Wen Tianxiang's student Wang Yanwu. Because there is Tinglin Lake next to his former residence, scholars respect him as Mr. Tinglin. The outstanding thinkers, classics scholars, historians, geologist and phonologists of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties were together with Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi known as the "Three Great Confucians" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

He became a great master in the early Qing Dynasty and was known as the "founder" of Qing Dynasty. Gu Yanwu was profound in knowledge and had studied the state system, county anecdotes, astronomical phenomena, rivers and canals, soldiers and peasants, hundreds of schools of classics and history, and phonological exegesis. In his later years, he re-examined the classics and established a simple learning style in the Qing Dynasty. His studies are based on being knowledgeable in literature and practicing with shame, integrating learning and practice, scholarship and managing the world. The poems are often touching and touching.

His main works include "Rizhilu", "Book of Benefits of Prefectures and Countries in the World", "Zhi of Zhaoyu", "Five Books on Phonetics", "Correction of Rhymes", "Ancient Phonetic Table", " "Poetry Notes", "Tang Yun Zheng", "On Sound", "Epigraphic Notes", "Tinglin Poetry Collection", etc. When the world rises and falls, every man has the responsibility to make a sentence.
