original: there is national subjugation and there is world subjugation. Debate between national subjugation and world subjugation? Yue: "Changing one's surname and changing one's number means national subjugation; Benevolence and righteousness are a hindrance, but as for leading animals to eat people, people will eat each other, which is called the death of the world. It is to protect the world with an old knowledge, and then to protect its country with knowledge. Those who protect the country, their princes and their ministers seek it; Those who protect the world are ashamed and responsible.
The phrase "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world" first appeared in Gu Yanwu's "The Record of Japanese Knowledge is the Beginning", and the background was that the Qing army entered the customs. His original sentence was: "Those who protect the country, their princes, their ministers and meat eaters seek it;" Those who protect the world are ashamed and responsible. "
It means the rise and fall of state affairs, and it is the duty of emperors, generals, civil and military ministers to protect the country from being overturned, which has nothing to do with ordinary people; And the prosperity and demise of world events, therefore, every common people has an unshirkable responsibility.
