A short story of integrity and devotion to duty
Wu Yinzhi, an official in Guangzhou, passed by the "Greedy Spring" and listened to his followers talking about such a thing, so he went to have a look. He saw that the so-called "Chanquan" was actually just a mountain spring, so he knelt down and held the spring water to drink. When he saw it, he quickly stepped forward to stop it: "This is a greedy spring, don't drink it!" Wu Yinzhi said with a smile, "I don't believe anyone is greedy for springs but not springs. Greedy people will be greedy if they don't drink, and clean people can keep clean even if they drink. " Later, he also wrote a poem to express his determination to be honest and clean: "The ancients said that this water has a thousand connections: it is not easy to make Qi drink at once." The meaning of this poem is: It is said that people will be insatiable after drinking the water from the "greedy spring". But I think, the virtuous Boyi and Shu Qi (two sons of Yin Shang Gu) will definitely not repent.
Wu Yinzhi laughed at the "greedy spring" for being honest and clean, leading an honest and clean life, and "getting out of the mud without being stained", showing the noble quality of being honest and clean.

This is exactly what Zhuge Liang did by practicing the famous saying "Do your best, and die before you die". Before he died, he wrote to Liu Chan and said, "My family has only 800 mulberry trees and 65,438+05 hectares of fertile land in Chengdu, and my children and grandchildren are quite rich in it. I have no other property outside (outside my hometown). I always depend on the government for food and clothing, and I don't want to find another way to make money to increase my private property. When I die, I won't let my family have extra cloth and silk, and I have extra property outside. " On his deathbed, Zhuge Liang not only made suggestions for his ancestors, but also stated his family affairs in a targeted manner, declining the reward in advance, so that future generations would not be great because of money. Moral integrity, this is very valuable!
This spirit of Zhuge Liang has inspired generations of people with lofty ideals.
