When calculating profit, it should be calculated as the world's profit, its origin and interpretation

This sentence comes from a banner written by Mr. Yu Youren, a senior official of the Kuomintang and a senior official of the National Government, to Jiang Jingguo in 1961: "Plan profits when you plan the world's interests? Seeking the name should seek the name of the world. " It means: if you make a plan, you must make a plan for the sake of the world, not for personal gain; To be famous, you must be immortal, not short-lived.

This couplet is clear and meaningful, which profoundly interprets the connotations of the words "benefit" and "fame", and understands the principles of "the world" and "eternal life", reflecting the Confucian view of fame and fortune in actively joining the WTO. There are many theories about "fame" and "profit" in ancient times, but Zhuang Yuanchen, a Ming Dynasty, made a detailed analysis.

It is from such a sage's view of fame and fortune that the author of the couplet encourages Jiang's family to "plan for the benefit of the world" and "seek eternal fame" from the long-term interests of the country and the nation.
