As we all know, Mencius, as one of the four books, was written by Mencius and his disciples Zhang Wan, Gong Sunchou and others in the middle of the Warring States Period. Among them, there is such a famous aphorism that "born in sorrow, died in happiness", which is naturally a kind of thinking in times of peace, and has always guided and warned us how to move towards a better life. Once this kind of anxiety becomes a reality, it becomes personal anxiety, such as anxiety about one's home country and career. Therefore, history tells us that great poets of past dynasties, such as Du Fu, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Xin Qiji and Lu You, all have the heart of worrying about the country and the people. The Story of Yueyang Tower written by Fan Zhongyan in Song Dynasty, "Worrying about the world first, then enjoying the world", emphasizes the patriotic feelings of scholars, even a kind of belief spirit. The sense of hardship and the values of home and country in times of peace have always maintained the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

Of course, this sense of hardship, looking at the world, is still explored in other countries and has become a philosophical study. With regard to the exploration of external troubles, it is necessary to say that Francis Ogman, a professor of English language at the University of Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, has successfully studied and wrote Trouble: A History of Literature and Culture. In this book, we can clearly find that the key word is anxiety, and in the divergent thinking of the author, the internal experience of anxiety is analyzed from the perspectives of literature, psychology, philosophy, art and sociology in a brand-new way, so as to illustrate the good and bad mental state of anxiety, which shows that such anxiety is a real overview that will follow as long as human beings are in activities, depending on how we calmly.

In this book, there are only four articles, but alas, you have been so ill recently. Oh, what an incredible thing. This is an upside-down chaotic era. Please accept my overwhelming thanks, but each article is a magnificent exposition. This is how the author analyzes the worries and worries of foreign countries from the perspective of humanism, like an expert in solving cows. As in the preface, the author quotes a sentence from Trollope's Orly Farm, "There may be nothing more comforting than heartfelt resentment, which can breed thoughts." This is the whole book to explore the importance of anxiety, because this kind of anxiety consciousness can eliminate new ideas and is also an important part of human progress.

In the first article "Alas, you have been very ill recently", we read that the author thinks that anxiety is not a disease, and the category of "mental illness" does not include the anxiety discussed in the book. Worry is just a part of life. This is very much agreed. After all, if anxiety is a disease, then this book is classified as a psychology book, but it is not. It is a good book for later culture. In addition, anxiety is a mental illness, so have all our literati and poets in China who have been concerned about the country and the people become mental illness? This is not correct. This book studies the worrying thinking in human life, which will influence and guide us to make various choices. In addition, this book also shows that anxiety is gradual, and sometimes it is inevitable to stumble. This shows that people are not worried all their lives, but let themselves have something to worry about through comprehensive analysis of experience.

In addition, in this article, it is particularly worth studying that the author believes that anxiety is manifested as a collective emotion and a more personal experience. We often say, "What if?" This is a very appropriate language expression for people who are worried. As you can see, this book is about anxiety, but it is about a period of literary and cultural history, so the author first quotes the poet Eliot as a writer of anxiety, secretly thinking that the poet has many similarities with our Du Fu, and the biggest feature is his strong anxiety thought. For example, the author quoted Eliot's early work "Portrait of a Lady" and wrote a concert with a boring sense of fashion and the emptiness of the upper class. "In my mind, the dull rhythm began to knock all over my body." Such a poem fully illustrates the author's external social self and internal repressed self. The author thinks that Eliot's worry about untimely birth is naturally similar to Du Fu's worry about untimely birth, that is, "the stinking road of Zhumen wine freezes people to death".

In the author's view, anxiety is the fear of an uncertain future. This fear is of positive significance, because anxiety is related to world institutions, changes in decision-making, changes in western society from religion to secularism, and subversion and transfer of beliefs. This is the positive meaning of anxiety. Later, the author took the Bible as an example, such as "moping" in the King James Version of Kings of the Old Testament and "anxiety" 33 times in the Gospel Version of the Bible, which shows that the Bible is also a kind of reading with a strong sense of anxiety. Then, the author also talks about the real source of "worry" from Shakespeare's Charles III.

Later, with the development of the times, the author quoted Ji Xin's work "New Han Shi Street" to illustrate the worries of urbanized society through the deeds of worried heroes in the novel. The worry is that it is often inextricably linked with new urban and suburban life and the work pressure of modern people. This is the author's new interpretation of modern social changes in western countries. But at the beginning of the 20th century, buckland's worry naturally laid the theme and problem of literary expression. During World War II, the female writer Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway reflected how the protagonist Smith chose the tragic novel of suicide in an anxious society through the narrative mode of "inner monologue".

Of course, worrying novels will not make Joyce, a great Irish writer, absent, so the author immediately said that Joyce advocated worrying reading, because Joyce's Ulysses is full of puns, witticisms and polysemy, which makes Joyce's worrying theme novels more full and three-dimensional through literary techniques. As the author said, the language of Ulysses is generous and representative, which is between ordinary, popular and inspiring, attracting readers' deep attention to the protagonist Bloom.

All the above are explained by the author from the perspective of literary works. It is literature that records the spread history of "anxiety" and makes anxiety known.

Of course, in addition to literature, in the second article, I discussed some concerns from a psychological point of view. At the beginning of this paper, the author takes a friend's "worried sister" as an example to illustrate the anxiety symptoms about the future such as failure, insecurity, poverty, boredom and obesity in real life, which is correct. However, when the concentration of anxiety deepens, leading to mental illness, such as "worrying about my sister", we need to look at anxiety from a psychological point of view. The author introduces conquering fear and anxiety, telling people that determination and action can scare away anxiety. In addition, the author also quoted "Anxiety Therapy: Let Go of Worry and Start a New Life", expounded the lessons of treatment failure, and provided a series of methods to manage anxiety, all of which are worth reading. Of course, the most famous book about depression in Britain, Malignant Sorrow: The Anatomy of Depression, is also worth reading.

The third article discusses anxiety from the perspectives of philosophy, art and sociology. Among them, the author takes Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" as an example to illustrate that Descartes' thinking is a kind of anxiety, so it is said by the author that "I am worried, therefore I am", indicating that anxiety has both objective and subjective conditions. As far as art is concerned, the author absolutely rejects Rodin's sculpture The Thinker, the core expression of which is that people realize that anxiety is accompanied by the soul, and worry is an interpretation of human nature in meditation. In addition, the author quotes Fran Cesca's painting Saint Jerome and His Followers to illustrate the existence of anxiety that "his slight frown is enough to explain the difficulty of thinking". Of course, there is also the statue "Saint George" and other elements that illustrate anxiety in art. In sociology, the author quotes Mill's On Freedom to put forward a liberal dream and explore another existence of anxiety. Among them: the root of personal anxiety may be deep-rooted insecurity, which is naturally one of the elements of everyone's anxiety now. Of course, the author also quoted Dr. glasser, an opponent of behaviorism. His book "Choice Theory" is also concerned about health and can be used as a good expanding reading.

In the last chapter, the author summarizes that anxiety is the product of the intersection of history, theology and economic environment, personal characteristics and personal experience. In this chapter, what attracts everyone's attention is that the author discusses the relationship between anxiety and music. Finally, the author said that polyphonic music is the best antidote to anxiety, which shows that music can solve anxiety. Here, the author introduces Bach's musical attributes with special preference, explaining that it is precisely because Bach's creation is unpredictable and brings a sense of security that the audience naturally feels calm, thus curing depression.

This paper reveals why, in the modern society where rationalism and choice theory prevail, anxiety is destined to go hand in hand with us and become a "disease of the times". In this book, the author analyzes the internal experience of "anxiety" from the perspectives of literature, psychology, philosophy, art and sociology with a brand-new method and angle. The author also discusses the unique significance of anxiety to individuals and even society, and tries to put forward possible ways to alleviate anxiety from his own experience as an anxious person. As the author said: Worry is like strangling a plant, even if it is cut off, it cannot be eradicated. They are endless, suffocating and especially disappointing. However, they are part of the present. Since worries are always accompanied, we must learn to get along with them. In fact, people in western countries might as well, like our great scholars in China, "be born with worries and die with joy", "worry about the world first, and be happy after the world". It is also a way to solve anxiety by taking negative things such as worry and depression as positive things for prevention and actively controlling, or harmony.
