Second, the source
1, "Who's wrong? It would be great if it could be changed. " From "Zuo Zhuan Gong Xuan Two Years"
Original sentence: "I know what I did, and I will change it." He lowered his head and said, "Who is wrong? It would be great if it could be changed. "
The sentence Zuo Zhuan comes from a historical story. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Ling of Jin had no way to kill innocent people, and his servant Ji Jin protested. Gong Ling immediately said, "I already know. I must change it." Shi Ji said happily to him, "Who has shortcomings? It would be great if it could be changed. " Regrettably, Jin Linggong kept his promise and remained cruel, and was finally assassinated by his men.
2. "Better late than never, do whatever you want"? Su Shi's Imperial Book of Song Dynasty.
Sentence: "Don't be ashamed to ask questions" first appeared in Shangshu, and "Be prepared for danger in times of peace" came from Zuozhuan. Su Shi combined these two ancient teachings into one, and said in the Book of Kings: "Do not hesitate to repent and gain good words. This is what Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang reluctantly did, and it is unique since the Qin and Han Dynasties. "
Don't hesitate to correct your mistakes and listen to kind words as quickly and naturally as water flows downwards. This is what Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang tried to do. Since Qin and Han Dynasties, no emperor has done it except you.
Extended data
1, Introduction to Zuo Zhuan:
Legend has it that it was written by Zuo Qiuming, formerly known as Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals. The Han Dynasty changed its name to Zuo Zhuan Chun Qiu, which is a chronological history book with complete narrative in ancient China and a representative of prose works in the pre-Qin period. It marks the maturity of China's narrative prose.
The Han Dynasty was also called Zuoshi and Zuoshi in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was called Zuo Zhuan only after the Han Dynasty. It is also called "Three Biographies of Spring and Autumn" with Biography of Ram and Biography of Gu Liang. According to legend, it was written by Zuo Qiuming at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period to explain Confucius' Spring and Autumn Annals.
2. The ideological background of The Book of the Emperor:
Su Shi pointed out in Shang Jun Shu that emperors are different from doctors. What doctors need most is fame, and what emperors need most is people's hearts.
Qiang Bing, a rich country, can bring fame to doctors, but it will also make the emperor lose popularity. Arguing about the right or wrong of political reform is better than looking directly at the direction of people's hearts. What people want, it will be good to do it; What people abandon, what they do will stay. This so-called: "The gentleman does not discuss the right or wrong of acting, and the audience's heart faces the back first."
