Famous anecdotes about letters: Shang Yang’s standing wood to obtain letters and a hundred catties of gold was not as good as Ji Bu Yinuo.

1. Shang Yang established a tree to gain trust

Shang Yang appointed Qin Xiaogong as prime minister and wanted to enact a new law. In order to win the trust of the people, Shang Yang erected a three-foot-long tree at the south gate of the capital city and recruited people who could move the tree to the north gate, giving them ten gold. The people were surprised by this approach and no one dared to move the piece of wood.

Then, Shang Yang announced to the people that those who could move would be given fifty gold. A bold man finally took away the piece of wood, and Shang Yang immediately gave him fifty gold to show his integrity. This method of building trust finally convinced the people that the new law was credible, thus enabling the new law to be implemented smoothly.

2. A hundred catties of gold is not as good as a promise from Ji Bu

Ji Bu, a native of the Han Dynasty, was famous for his sincerity and trustworthiness. There was a proverb at that time: "It is better to get a promise from Ji Bu than to get a hundred catties of gold." This means that Ji Bu's words are more valuable than gold. Later, Ji Bu followed Xiang Yu in defeat and was wanted by Liu Bang. Many people came out to protect him and enabled him to get through the difficulties safely. In the end, Ji Bu was reused by the Han Dynasty because of his integrity.
