The shed is not protected from electricity. Ashamed to talk, not afraid to run counter to it. Tell the truth.
Ming Hu Yan's Preface to Bao Gong's Filial Piety. Lift a thorn: denounce. Offense: Offend the dignity of superiors. Descending scales: Han Feizi told a difficult story: there is a scale ruler under the dragon's throat. Anyone who dares to touch someone will kill him, which is used to describe the anger of a vassal who violates the monarch. The general idea of these two sentences is: dare to publicly accuse powerful ministers and influential people; Dare to criticize the monarch and his superiors, and don't be afraid to offend their dignity. These two sentences point out the moral character and integrity that an honest, frank, just and benevolent gentleman should possess; Dare to stick to the truth, dare to face up to reality, dare to put forward their own opinions, especially when their opinions are different from those of their immediate superiors, whether they dare to speak out and express different opinions is a real test of ten people's morality. ~ The second sentence is about the philosophy of treating others positively. Although we don't criticize those shameless villains who flatter, flatter, and look at the boss's face and say ambiguous words, it also has a self-evident effect.
