7． Xun Ciming (1) and Yuan Lang (2) of Runan met and asked the Yingchuan people, Ci Mingxian and his brothers. Lang Xiao said, "Shi Dan can only because he is pro-old?"

Ci Ming said: "In the past, Qi Xi recommended talents, did not ignore his son internally, and did not ignore his enemies externally, and the world thought that he was just and selfless. When Zhou Gongdan composed the poem "King Wen", he did not talk about the merits of Yao Shun, but sang the praises of King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou, which was in line with the great righteousness of loving relatives. The principle of the Spring and Autumn Period is that the country is the inside, and the princely states are also outside. Besides, isn't it a violation of moral code to love outsiders without loving one's own relatives? ”
