("Solving Problems in Yuefu" says: "As the old saying goes,' a gentleman should plan ahead' is far from doubtful. There is also "the gentleman thinks and does it", and the rhetoric is different. " )

A gentleman takes precautions before he is suspected. If you don't take these shoes away, Li can't be officially crowned. Sister-in-law's uncle doesn't teach in person, and the young and the old are not in the same class. Humble is difficult, and harmony is difficult. Duke Zhou went to the White House, vomited, and fed less than rice. A touch of three hands holds the hair, and later generations are called sages.

Metaphor as long as it is in a place of right and wrong and trouble, it is difficult to avoid the suspicion and suspicion of others! Therefore, in order to avoid others' doubts and criticisms, it is best to avoid Li's predicament as much as possible, so as not to attract others to deal with his own troubles. As long as you are right, even under the leadership of Gua Tian Lee, there is nothing to worry about.

Tang Wenzong in the Tang Dynasty, a great calligrapher Liu Gongquan, was honest and eloquent, and served as assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry. At that time, an official named Guo Ning sent his two daughters to the palace, so the emperor sent Guo Ning to Postal Ning (now Postal County, Shaanxi Province) to be an official, and people talked about it one after another. The emperor asked Liu Gongquan about it: "Guo Ning is the stepfather of the Empress Dowager, and he is a general. He hasn't made any mistakes since he became an official. Now, what's wrong with making him the first mate in this small place? " Liu Gongquan said: "According to his contributions and achievements, it is reasonable to send him to be a big official, but everyone who talks about it thinks that he got this official position because he gave his two daughters to the palace." Tang Wenzong said: "Guo Ning's two daughters went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, not me." Liu Gongquan replied, "How can people tell Li's suspicion?"

"Gua Tian Lixia" originated from the poem "Gua Tian doesn't accept shoes, Li Xia has no crown" in the ancient Yuefu's A Gentleman's Journey. Here, Liu Gongquan is a metaphor for the emperor, which makes people suspicious.
