Xu Pu also followed the example of the ancients, constantly checking his words and deeds, and placed two bottles on his desk to store black beans and soybeans respectively. Whenever you have a kind thought in your heart, say a kind word, or do a kind deed, throw a soybean into the bottle.
On the contrary, if there is any fault in your words or deeds, throw in a black bean. At the beginning, there were more black beans and less soybeans, so he kept reflecting deeply and motivating himself. Gradually, when the number of soybeans and black beans was equal, he continued to work hard and set stricter demands on himself.
Over time, more and more soybeans accumulated in the bottle, and the black beans gradually seemed insignificant in comparison. Until he later became an official, he still retained this habit.
With this kind of lasting restraint and encouragement, he continued to cultivate himself and improve his character, and later finally became a highly respected and famous minister.
