If you live high in the temple, you will worry about which poem the people come from.

If you live high in the temple, you will worry about the people, which comes from Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower. The whole sentence is "if you live in a temple, you will worry about your people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your king." It means that to be a senior official in the court, you should be concerned about the people; You can't forget to pay attention to national security when you are in a remote river and lake.

The Story of Yueyang Tower is an essay written by Fan Zhongyan, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, to rebuild Yueyang Tower at the request of his good friend Teng Zijing, the prefect of Baling County, on September 15th, 6th year of Qingli (October 17th, 146). By writing about the scenery of Yueyang Tower and the different feelings brought by rainy and sunny days, this article reveals the ancient benevolent heart of "not being happy with things, not being sad for oneself", and also expresses his patriotic feelings of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later". The article goes beyond the narrow scope of simply writing about the views of mountains and rivers, and combines the gloomy changes of nature, rain and shine, and the "feeling of seeing things" of "moving guests and poets", thus putting the focus of the full text on discussing political ideals and expanding the realm of the article. Full-text narration, scenery description, lyricism and discussion are integrated, with dynamic and static movements, light and shade contrast, simple words and harmonious syllables, and the use of antithetical couplets to compare scenery has become an innovation in miscellaneous notes.
