In the Spring and Autumn Period, Chu Zhuangwang won the championship.
One night, I held a candlelight party with my beloved princess and held a grand banquet for the ministers. Halfway through the wine, suddenly a strong wind blew out the candle. A military commander wanted to flirt with Princess Ai in the dark, and Princess Ai tore off the red tassel on his helmet. Princess Ai suggested that the King of Chu light a lamp at once to see which guy lost the red tassel on his helmet and severely punish him. A friend's wife should not be bullied, let alone a leader's wife. Unexpectedly, King Zhuang was magnanimous and ordered all the generals to take off the red tassels on their helmets before lighting the lamps. Soon, the king of Chu made a personal expedition, engaged the enemy, and fell into a tight encirclement. His soldiers will flee everywhere, and the life of the king of Chu is at stake. Suddenly, a desperate battle appeared to protect deus ex, the king of Chu, and get back a life. The king of Chu said excitedly, "Everyone else is running for their lives. Only Ai Qing is willing to lay down his life to save the driver. What's your name? Which unit is it? " The general should answer: "I was the one who molested your wife at the candlelight party that day!" " "
(Legend, because I can't tell the source! Edison invented the first light bulb. He asked one of his disciples to have it tested, and he broke it! Disciples are ashamed.

Confucius was not ashamed to ask:
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius was honored as a "saint". He has 2000 disciples, and everyone asks him for knowledge. His Analects of Confucius has been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.
Confucius is knowledgeable, but he still asks for advice modestly. On one occasion, he went to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors. As soon as I entered the ancestral temple, I felt strange and asked others questions. Someone laughed: "Confucius has outstanding knowledge, so why ask?" Confucius said, "Always ask questions. What's wrong? " His disciples asked him, "Why did you call Kong Wen Zi after Kong died?" Confucius said, "You are smart and eager to learn, and you are not ashamed to ask questions. It is worthy of being a writer." Disciple thought: "Teachers often ask others for advice, and they are not ashamed!" "
Being open-minded and eager to learn from everyone, including those who are lower than themselves, is called "not ashamed to ask questions".
