Interpretation:

"Subjugation of the country" and "subjugation of the world" are two different concepts. "Subjugation of the country" means changing the dynasty, changing the emperor, and changing the country's name, but the benevolence and morality cannot be carried forward, and the rulers are cruel. There are constant disputes among the people, and the world will perish. Things like protecting the country can only be planned by the emperor, ministers and those in power. However, the rise and fall of the "world" is also the responsibility of the humble people. /p>

"Leading beasts to eat people" comes from "Mencius: King Hui of Liang". Leading. It is a metaphor for the rulers to torture the people. In ancient times, it refers to men among the common people. , generally refers to the common people.

It is written in eight characters and comes from Liang Qichao.

It means the rise and fall of the country, protecting the country from being overthrown, and the civil and military ministers of the emperor, general and minister. Their responsibilities have nothing to do with ordinary people; but for the rise and fall of major events in the world, every ordinary person has an unshirkable responsibility.
