【Idiom Story】
During the tang wenzong period, Liu Gongquan was a famous calligrapher, Liu Gongquan was loyal and upright, good at giving advice to Tang Wenzong, and was deeply valued and appreciated by Tang Wenzong.
At that time, there was an official named Guo Ning, who was the stepfather of the empress dowager. Guo Ning sent his two daughters into the palace to serve the empress dowager. The empress dowager was very happy, so Tang Wenzong arranged for Guo Ning to become an official in Youning (now Youxian County, Shaanxi), and people talked about it. Later, it spread to Tang Wenzong, so Tang Wenzong asked Liu Gongquan: "Guo Ning is the stepfather of the empress dowager, although there have been no brilliant achievements since he became an official, but there is no fault, and now he is only let him be the chief official of this small place of Youning, and he is not a very big official, almost no impact, what is wrong with this?" ”
Liu Gongquan said: "Everyone who is talking about it thinks that Guo Ning got this official position because he sacrificed two daughters to enter the palace. Tang Wenzong said: "Guo Ning's two daughters entered the palace to accompany the empress, not to Yuan." Liu Gongquan replied: "This is suspected of being under the guatian and LiXia, the common people know that Guo Ning was sealed as an official after sending his daughter into the palace, and they don't know the origin of it, how can they all distinguish it?" ”
Therefore, a gentleman should be frank and frank, and anything that makes people suspicious cannot be done, and do not go to places where people are prone to misunderstanding. In the "Gentleman's Walk" of Gule Fu, it is written: "Gentlemen are defensive, they are not suspected, melon fields are not carried out, and Li Xia is not a whole crown." This means that a gentleman should take precautions against problems, not go to places where people are suspicious, pass through melon fields, and do not bend down to lift shoes, so that people will not suspect picking melons; walk under the plum tree, do not raise your hands to tidy up the hat, lest people suspect picking plums. Metaphors are easy to cause suspicion, or refer to occasions that are more likely to cause suspicion, make people misunderstood, and have reason and difficult to argue. It is easy to misuse it to describe idyllic life. The ancients emphasized that upright gentlemen should take into account their words and demeanor, demeanor and etiquette, in addition, it is also important to take the initiative to avoid suspicion, stay away from some controversial people and things, and do not do things that make people misunderstood.
