Song Qianxi is honest in front of property. He once wrote a big word on the door: "I would rather starve to death than live for profit." An educated person regards this sentence as a famous saying. If the official in power doesn't like the man, even if he takes a bag full of gold, even if there is a contradiction in the discussion, he won't accept the money. The messenger of Japan asked Qian for an article and gave him 120 gold, but Qian refused to accept it. When the emperor asked him about it, Qian Xi replied: "It is not a way to safeguard the image of the country to accept money from small barbarians."
