A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold

A promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold

A word is a promise

A gentleman’s word is hard to chase after a horse.

People But if you don’t have faith and don’t know what you can do

It is better to get a hundred pieces of gold than to get Jibu Yinuo.

"Historical Records. "The Biography of Ji Bu Luan Bu"

Getting a hundred pieces of gold is not as good as getting a promise from Ji Bu.

Appreciation: This was a proverb that was popular in the Chu region at that time. It is also a sincere admiration for Ji Bu's chivalrous character of "Be true to his words, be resolute in his deeds, be sincere in his promises, and be sincere if he does not love his bows. He will go to the disaster of a scholar." It shows that a man must mean what he says, keep his word, and be responsible for what he says. The idiom: "A promise brings a thousand pieces of gold" comes from this.
