The Heart of the World, "Worry" - Reading "Yueyang Tower"

On a late autumn day, I came to the tomb of Fan Zhongyan, located 40 kilometers south of Luoyang, under the Wan'an Mountain, to hang the famous politician, thinker, strategist and writer of the Northern Song Dynasty. Looking at the stone monuments hidden by pines and cypresses, through the millennium of historical changes, an inexplicable feeling arises spontaneously.

Understanding Fan Zhongyan began with "Yueyang Tower". Fan Zhongyan, with his magnificent life and the eternal singer of "Yueyang Tower", left a glorious image in the annals of history that cares about the destiny of the country and affects the people's sorrows. "The world is full of worries and worries, and the world is happy and happy." A feudal doctor in a feudal society can have such a noble ideological realm. It is a high-level summary of his worries about the country and the people, and his ideal classic for pursuing social harmony. It is really commendable. Sticking to such cultural beliefs and spiritual pursuits, in the great practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, isn’t it the responsibility of contemporary youths who love the motherland and work hard to do what they want?

I have not been to Yueyang Tower, but Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower" has already made my heart long for it. Through the literary writings of "Yueyang Tower", the spring of the river, the beautiful scenery, the vastness of the Dongting in the 800s, the joy of harmony between man and nature, seems to be as close to the scene as possible. "Den Si Lou also has a heart and a good mood, and the humiliation is forgotten. The wine is in the wind, and its radiant people are stunned." I really feel that the social ideal pursued by Fan Zhongyan is the nature of the thousands of frosts, the freedom of heaven and man. The harmony and joy is the fraternity and dedication of the honor and disgrace, which is the prosperity and peace of the community. Looking at the present day, the party's "18th National Congress" proposed to build a socialist ecological civilization, paying more attention to environmental construction and protection. In the final analysis, it is for all people to live happier and better.

Be prepared for danger in peace, worry about the country and the people. Not pleased, not to have compassion. In the career career of decades, Fan Zhongyan has always insisted on the benefit of the world, and for the benefit of the people of Lebanon. He is a clean and honest official, sympathetic to the hardships of the people's livelihood, straightforward, reformed, and repeatedly raped, and was repeatedly shackled but did not change the ambition of Qingyun. Personal humiliation and gains, he has always been out of the ordinary, although poor and destitute, his heart is the world's social shackles, supernatural outside and free, the worry of the country and the people, like a mirror, shining in the long river of history, admirable.

Self-improvement, struggle, and Fan Zhongyan practice his lofty ideals throughout his life. "When the height of the temple is high, it is worrying about its people; when it is far away from the rivers and lakes, it is worried about its princes. It is a matter of progress and anxiety, and retreat and worry." This sacred sense of mission and honor and disgrace has now become an invaluable treasure of our national spirit. The ideal is a banner. With such a spirit, the Chinese nation will surely overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles and stand proudly in the forest of the nations of the world.

For a long time, I stared at the gradually blurred handwriting on Fan Zhongyan's tombstone, and chewed Fan Gong's "Yueyang Tower", and my own thoughts drifted far and far. I think that what kind of outlook on life and values ​​should be set up should be a major issue worthy of our contemporary youth.
