What do you mean by worrying about the people and being happy with the people?
The similarity between Mencius' "worrying about the people" and Fan Zhongyan's "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" is the embodiment of people-oriented thought. Mencius' "being close to the people" and "being happy with the people" are suggestions to the supreme ruler. He believes that only by worrying about Guan Xinmin and enjoying folk music can the king reign and achieve the goal of "ruling the world". As for how to "care for the people" and "enjoy the people"-Mencius' request is not high. "Five acres of houses, trees can be mulberry, and fifty people can wear silk." Chickens, dolphins and dogs are all domestic animals, so there is no time to waste. 70 people can eat meat. "The goal of' the old people eat meat, wear clothes and wear silk, and the people are not hungry or cold' has finally been achieved. This is a low-level "people-oriented"; Fan Zhongyan's "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later" is the self-demand of conscious intellectuals. Although the situation of hunger and cold in the world cannot be changed, let me share my worries for the people and endure hunger and cold with them. On the other hand, the premise of sharing worries and joys with the people is to share worries and joys for the monarch: "If you are close to the temple, you will worry about its people;" "If you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you must worry about your husband." In other words, the people should not abandon the people of the emperor. Or a sign of loyalty.
