"Heart to the mountain, not afraid of thorns, in the plain, willing to swim for the flood" is the meaning expressed by Gu, a thinker in the Qing Dynasty.

Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.

"Heart to the mountain, not afraid of thorns, in the plain, willing to swim for the flood" that is to say, if the heart is as tenacious as the mountain, it is not afraid of thorns and bumps on the road; If your ambition is as broad as the plain, you can endure swimming across the flood without fear of difficulties.

—— Gu Zi, a famous scholar and great thinker in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, was a recorder of Japanese knowledge.

Original: those who protect the country, their princes and ministers seek it; Those who protect the world are shameful and responsible.

It means that the rise and fall of state affairs and the protection of the country from being overthrown are the duties of emperors, generals, civil servants and ministers, and have nothing to do with ordinary people; The rise and fall of world events, therefore, every ordinary person has an unshirkable responsibility.
