excerpt from the original text: Jifu! What is it to taste the heart of the ancient benevolent, or to do something different from the two? Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; If you live high in the temple, you will worry about your people; If you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your husband. It's worrying about advancing and worrying about retreating. But when will you be happy? It must be said that "worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world." Hey! Weiss, who are we going home with?

translation: alas! I used to explore the thoughts and feelings of people with noble morality in ancient times. They may be different from the above two moods. What is the reason? It is because in ancient times, people with high moral character were not happy or sad because of the quality of foreign things and their own gains and losses. Being an official in the imperial court worries about the people; Not being an official in the imperial court, but being in the middle of the remote rivers and lakes, I am worried about the monarch.

In this way, they are also worried about being an official in the imperial court and retiring from the Jianghu. Even so, when will they be happy? Then we must say, "Be sad before the world is sad, and be happy after the world is happy"? Alas! If there is no such person, who will I go with? Extended information
