Xu Jie, a Ming Dynasty man, was ordered to inspect the central part of Zhejiang. A scholar wrote the word "Yan Kong" in the conclusion of the article, but Xu Gong erased these five words, criticized the word "fabrication", ranked his grades as fourth grade, and even punished him. The scholar told Xu Gong: "This sentence of Yan Ku Kong You comes from the book Law of the Yangtze River, not invented by me!"
After hearing this, Xu Gong stood up and said to the scholar, "I just got a reputation earlier than you, but in fact I have no knowledge, so I almost made a serious mistake to punish you!" " Immediately, the scholar's performance was changed to first class.
At that time, people admired Xu Gong's generosity. Later, Xu Gongguan became a college student.
Gao Panlong, a famous minister in the Ming Dynasty, once said, "You can have fun if you commit suicide, and you can avoid disasters by introspection. I always see my own shortcomings, that is, I don't know if I am blessed. You admit that you are not, and others are embarrassed to blame. I didn't mean to admit my mistake for the time being when I met with rebellion. In fact, people are not saints, how can they be perfect? I deserve most of others' troubles. We should reflect on ourselves, and the truth will be discovered naturally. In this way, the more careful my mind is, the more detailed my experience and progress will be, and how much strength I have accumulated and how much knowledge I have gained. The reason why a villain is a villain is because he always looks at the faults of others. "
