You are not as happy as I thought you were.

When Kong Wenju was ten years old, he went to Luo with his father. At that time, Li Yuanli was famous and served as the Inspector of the Capital Region. Only those with outstanding talents and reputation, as well as those who were his cousins, were allowed to visit him. When Wen Ju arrived at the gate, he said to the clerk, "I am the relative of Lord Li." After being let in, he sat down in front. Yuanli asked, "What is the relationship between you and me?" He replied, "In the past, my ancestor Confucius and your ancestor Boyang had a teacher-student relationship. So you and I have been friends for generations." Yuanli and the guests were all surprised. When Taizhong Daifu Chen Wei arrived later, people told him the same words. Wei said, “A child who is very smart when he is young may not be a good person when he grows up!” Wen Ju said, “I think you must have been very smart when you were young!” Wei was very embarrassed.

Prince, please stop! The reborn daughter wants to be forced to marry.

Wang Dongting and Xie Gong were at odds with each other. When the king heard about the funeral in the east, he went out of the capital to find Zi Jing and said, "I want to mourn for Gong." Zi Jing had just gone to bed, and when he heard his words, he got up in surprise and said, "I hope for Fa Hu." So the king went to mourn. The commander-in-chief Diao Yue refused to listen and said, "I have never seen such a guest in my life." Wang also did not speak to him, but went straight forward, crying bitterly, and left without holding the hand of the last maid.

Invincible Warrior

Confucius said: "When you enter a country, you can know its teachings. The people are gentle and kind, which is the teaching of the Book of Songs; broad-minded and far-sighted, which is the teaching of the Book of Documents; broad-minded and easy-going, which is the teaching of Music; clean, quiet, and subtle, which is the teaching of the Book of Changes; respectful, frugal, and solemn, which is the teaching of the Book of Rites; and the use of words and metaphors to compare things is the teaching of the Spring and Autumn Annals. Therefore, the mistakes of the Book of Songs are foolish; the mistakes of the Book of Documents are slander; the mistakes of Music are extravagant; the mistakes of the Book of Changes are thieves; the mistakes of the Book of Rites are troublesome; and the mistakes of the Spring and Autumn Annals are disorder. The people are gentle and kind without being foolish, which means they are deeply in the Book of Songs; broad-minded and easy-going, which is not extravagant, which means they are deeply in the Book of Documents; broad-minded and easy-going, which is not extravagant, which means they are deeply in the Book of Music; clean, quiet, and subtle, which is not thieves, which means they are deeply in the Book of Changes; respectful, frugal, and solemn, which is not troublesome, which means they are deeply in the Book of Rites; the use of words and metaphors to compare things is not disorderly, which means they are deeply in the Spring and Autumn Annals."

The Great Emperor's Rule in the City

When floods come, do not offer fish and turtles. If you offer birds, brush their heads; if you keep birds, do not brush them. Those who offer chariots and horses hold the whip and reins, those who offer armor hold the helmet, and those who offer a staff hold the end. Those who offered captives as tribute held their right sleeves. Those who offer millet hold the right contract, and those who offer rice hold the measuring drum. Whoever offers food should hold the sauce. Those who offer land and houses should do so in writing.

The Great Path

When Emperor Yuan's prince was born, he bestowed gifts upon all his ministers. Yin Hongqiao thanked him and said, "The birth of the prince is a cause of great joy to the whole world. I have done nothing for this, yet you have given me such a generous reward." Zhongzong laughed and said, "How can this be credited to you?"
