source:? Beiqi Yan Zhitui's Family Instructions of Yan Family: Famous Articles. If you don't cultivate your self-cultivation and pursue a good reputation in society, it's like asking for a beautiful figure in the mirror because you look ugly.

note ① self-cultivation: self-cultivation. 2 your name: a good name. 3 still accompany the withered: like. 4 evil: ugly. ⑤ Responsibility: Requirements. ⑥ yan mask (Yan): beautiful face. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shadow, so we should strive to strengthen our self-cultivation in order to have a good reputation.

The article "Name and Reality" mainly talks about the problem of misnomer. Ancient philosophers once discussed the relationship between name and reality, that is, to discuss the relationship between the name of things and objective reality. What Yan Zhitui is discussing here is some related problems in real life.

He thinks that a good reputation is derived from his "virtue and skill" and "self-cultivation and prudence", which is worthy of the name. The false name obtained by those who seek fame by improper means is not worthy of the name, and the false things will eventually be exposed.
