【Interpretation】
"Chang Yan" is a philosophical and political work written by the philosopher Zhong Changtong at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Book of the Later Han Dynasty Zhong Changtong Biography" records that Zhong Changtong "every time he talks about ancient and modern times and acts of custom, he always sighs with indignation. Because of the name of the treatise, "Chang Yan", there are thirty-four chapters and more than 100,000 words."
The original book has been lost, and some fragments have been preserved in books such as "Later Han Shu", "Quan Shu Zhi Yao" and "Yi Lin".
This passage in the original text is about the obligations of the servants to the monarch.
Zhong Changtong believed: "When a person acts on the monarch, there is nothing small or big, and there is no guilt; there is no work and rest, and there is nothing to avoid." When ministers serve the monarch, their speech must be correct, and their actions must not be evasive.
"If you have knowledge, you don't rely on grace, but you respect it; if you forget it, you don't have resentment and you work harder." , but more diligent.
"Safety and danger do not change their minds, and dangers and easy things do not change their minds." 2: Change.
Leather: change.
"Dangerous" means "safety".
The two sentences are tautological, meaning that no matter whether you are in a safe or dangerous situation, do not change your aspirations and conduct.
And "diligently do this, so that I have no body", so tirelessly adhere to it for life.
