Jin Pinggong, who was playing near the Yellow River, felt very happy and said, "How can you get the virtuous people and enjoy this joy with them?" The boatman, Xu Xu, knelt down and replied, "The monarch just doesn't like the virtuous." Pearls are produced in the rivers and seas, jade comes from the Kunlun Mountains, and things without feet can come to you because the monarch likes them. The virtuous have feet but do not come to you, probably because the monarch does not have the will to like the virtuous, and there is no need to worry about the absence of the virtuous. ”

Ancient "rivers" and "rivers"
Before the Qin and Han dynasties, the word "river" basically referred to the Yellow River, while other rivers were called "chuan" or "water". The term Yellow River cannot be found in the literature of this period. According to the scholar Li Erong, the term Yellow River was first found in the interpretation of "Changshan County, Yuanshi County" in the Eastern Han Dynasty Bangu's "Book of Han and Geography". The word "yellow" in the Yellow River is used to describe the turbidity of the river.
The original meaning of "river" refers to the Yangtze River, and later the meaning was slowly expanded, extending to the general name of the great river. Most of the water flows in the south are named after "rivers", while the water flows in the north are mostly named after "rivers".

Jin Pinggong said to Shi Kuang, "I am already a seventy-year-old person, and I am afraid that it is too late to study, right?" ”
Shi Kuang said, "Then why don't you quickly light the torch?" ”
Jin Pinggong said angrily, "Whoever is a courtier who teases his king?" ”
Shi Kuang said to him seriously, "How dare a blind courtier tease his king?" I have heard that when you are young, you are eager to learn, just like the sun at sunrise; when you are in your prime, you are eager to learn, just like the sun at noon; when you are old, you are eager to learn, just like the light of a candle. Which is better to walk in the light of a candle or in the dark? ”
After hearing this, Jin Pinggong said, "Well said! ”

While Jinping Gong had a good time, he actually lamented that there was no Sage to accompany him. The boatman answered Jin Pinggong's question with a figurative metaphor, pointing out to the point that he had no desire to seek meritocracy at all.
"Those who do it always succeed, those who do it often arrive", those who work hard can often succeed, and those who are tireless can often achieve their goals. Less slogans, more hard work, although it does not show results in the short term, but it is far more effective than the surface gloss.
