The idiom "cutting the mat and breaking off diplomatic relations" says: Guan Ning and Hua Xin were hoeing grass in the garden together, and saw a piece of gold on the ground, Guan Ning still waved the hoe and looked like gold like a tile stone, there was no difference, Hua Xin happily picked up the gold piece, but threw it away; once, Guan Ning and Hua Xin sat on the same mat and read, there was a person sitting in a gorgeous car and wearing a dress who just passed in front of the door, Guan Ning was still reading, but Hua Xin put down the book and went out to watch. Guan Ning then cut off the mat and Sat down separately with Hua Xin and said, "Zi is not my friend." The meaning of this idiom is: "If they do not agree with each other, it is difficult to become friends", and the two people after that did choose different paths, one became an official, and one returned to the field, so what was their respective fate?
1. The talent of the dragon's head, the benevolence of the people
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people called Hua Xin, Bing Yuan, and Guan Ning as a dragon, of which Hua Xin was the dragon head, Bing Yuan was the dragon's belly, and Guan Ning was the dragon's tail. Although he was not appreciated by later generations because of his "severing of diplomatic relations" when he was young, Hua Xinzhi was not inferior to Guan Ning, and even higher than him. At that time, the Han Dynasty had become a state of twilight in the western mountains, it was difficult to restrain the localities, the local powerful divided one side, the princes with the same surname also looked at the tiger, Hua Xin was recommended as a filial piety, and was granted the position of Langzhong by the dynasty, but resigned due to illness and returned home. After the general He Jin assisted the government, he transferred Hua Xin to the capital and conferred the post of Shang Shulang. After He Jin's death, Dong Zhuo entered the capital forcefully, and after moving Emperor Xian of Han to Chang'an, Hua Xin fled. Arriving in Yuan Shu's territory, Hua Xin persuaded Yuan Shu to send an army to attack Dong Zhuo, but Yuan Shu did not adopt it, Hua Xin decided to abandon Yuan Shu and go to another place, at this time he happened to meet Emperor Xiandi of Han's taifu Ma Ribao, who was summoned by Ma Ri to be a subordinate, circling around, and finally Hua Xin continued to do things for Tianzi.
After being appointed by Emperor Xian of Han as the Taishou of Yuzhang, Hua Xin loved the people like a son, "thinking that the government was quiet and not annoying, and the officials loved it", and even when Liu Sui, the assassin of Yangzhou, died, the entire Yangzhou people jointly promoted Hua Xin as the history of the thorn, but Hua Xin still refused the request of the people with the principle of "ordering according to the time, it is not appropriate for people to be subjects". At that time, the little overlord Sun Ce had great talent and intended to plot Yangzhou, Hua Xin knew how to use soldiers well, in order not to let the war spread to innocent people, after thinking about it again, Hua Xin was greeted with a scarf and avoided the war for Yu Zhang. Then Cao Cao "blackmailed the Son of Heaven to order the princes" and summoned Hua Xin to Xuchang, and Sun Quan, who inherited his father's and brother's estates, was reluctant to let Hua Xin go, and Hua Xin said: "Wouldn't it be beneficial for the general to obey the king's orders and befriend Cao Gong at the beginning, and the division of righteousness was not solid, so that the servants could serve the general. Persuading Sun Quan not to befriend Cao Cao because he was unwilling to let go of this "useless thing", Sun Quan agreed. After entering Wei, Hua Xin was reused by Cao Cao for his talents, and successively served as Sikong, Shangshu, and Shizhong, and then replaced Xun Yu as Shangshu Ling, which can be said to be a high authority.

2. Refuge in seclusion and conquest
With Guan Ning's talent, if he wanted to, he could also occupy a high position and become a high official like Hua Xin, but he did not do so, but chose a different path from his friends - retreat. It is said that Guan Ning was the famous Guan Zhong, who assisted duke Huan of Qi to achieve hegemony, "Hanxing had Guan Shaoqing as Yan Ling, the first family Zhu Xu, the world has a famous festival, and the ninth generation is born Ning." Guan Ning was friends with Hua Xin and Feng Yuan when he was young, but Guan Ning's ambition was not to worship the Marquis, so after seeing through Hua Xin's disagreement with his own ambitions, he broke off his friendship with Hua Xin in order to protect himself. After the great chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guan Ning also avoided disaster in Liaodong, and at that time, Gongsun Du, the Taishou of Liaodong, arranged a residence for Guan Ning and others, and Guan Ning met with Gongsun Du, only talking about Confucian classics and not saying anything about the world, nor did he accept Gongsun Du's overtures, but lived in the valley. At that time, many people who came to avoid disasters admired Guan Ning's name and came to follow him, and in January a village was formed, and Guan Ning "preached poetry, books, Chen Lidou, Wei Yi, ming li rang", and people were very happy to accept Guan Ning's teachings and loved him very much.
Guan Ning was a great talent, but did not want to be an official, Cao Cao recruited Guan Ning after he became Sikong, and Gongsun Du's son Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Kang cut off the edict and did not announce it to Guan Ning, but at that time Gongsun Kang took the title of the general of the imperial court Taishou externally, but he did have the heart of a king internally, so he wanted Guan Ning to assist him in completing his hegemony, but Gongsun Kang did not dare, "In the end, he did not dare to speak, and his respect was so." Both the Wei Wen Emperor Cao Pi and the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui summoned Guan Ning many times, but Guan Ning did not accept it, Guan Ning did not want to throw himself into the filth of politics, but he could indeed predict the overall situation of the world, and Guan Ning, who wanted to raise a heavenly life in Liaodong, saw the incompetence of the new Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Gong, and also saw through the wolf ambitions of Gongsun Yuan, the son of Gongsun Kang, Guan Ning was worried that disaster would arise, so he left in a hurry with his family, and sure enough, Gongsun Yuan rebelled against Cao Wei, claimed the title of king, and was destroyed by Sima Yi. Emperor Cao Rui of Wei also recruited Guan Ning many times, and even Hua Xin was willing to give up the post of Taiwei to Guan Ning, but Guan Ning was always high and never agreed to join the army.
3. The Tao is not the same, it is not conspiratorial
Although he was called "Dragon Head", in Hua Xin's heart, Guan Ning's talent must have surpassed his own, otherwise he would not have "called the sick and begged to retire and give way to Ning", because Guan Ning was a true celebrity with high wind and bright festivals. Many so-called hermits, they escaped into the mountains, not only Bo mei name, the ultimate purpose is to enter the emperor's family, but Guan Ning is different, he is a real hermit, everything he thinks is the truth of learning, and the companions are natural mountains and rivers, and the glory and wealth pursued by the world are just like floating clouds for him, so when avoiding disasters in Liaodong, Guan Ning only talks about Confucian classics, rectifies Wei Yi, And Chen Ming's courtesy; Liaodong is not peaceful, he returns to the Central Plains, he also embraces the Tao, only to seek tao and teach, and resolutely resign from the summons from Emperor Wei.
Hua Xin, who is opposite to him, can be described as a benchmark for laymen, he has turned around all kinds of forces, and his keen sense of political smell has allowed him to finally lean on Cao Wei's thigh, and after that, he has become more and more prosperous, the officials have become higher and higher, the power has become greater and greater, and Hua Xin is not as greedy and incompetent as the worldly people think, he loves the people like a son, and he is deeply popular with the people, he is pure and pure, he has courtesy and law, and it is no wonder that the famous scholar Ji Kang compared him to Zhuge Liang: "This can be said to be the end of the end, and the truth knows." "
The allusion of "cutting off the table and breaking off diplomatic relations" has been misinterpreted by the world: Guan Ning is a gentleman who does not seek fame and fortune, while Hua Xin is just a villain who covets money and property. Of course, this is not the case, "the times create heroes, chaotic world out of talent", like Guan Ninghuaxin, there are no more than two ways in the chaotic world: rely on their own wisdom to live, or because of their own wisdom and wisdom to die, both of them chose the former, but only the results are different, Guan Ning wants to protect himself, not to swim in muddy waters, and Huaxin is to take the responsibility on himself, to protect the people and save the world. Although Guan Ning's high style and bright festival were admired by later generations, in that era when only high-ranking officials and nobles had enough to eat, Hua Xin's act of saving the people was undoubtedly more correct.
