The dogs barked
In the early years of the establishment of the Liang Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty launched the Northern Expedition, and the government and military affairs in the court were very busy.Xu Mian was already an important official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs at that time, but because he was a secretary and had a great talent for literature, in order not to delay military opportunities, Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty asked him to "take charge of military documents".Xu Mian was originally a very diligent person, and his work was really busy, so he often had to go home every few days.He kept a group of dogs at home. Because he came back less often, these dogs didn't recognize their owners. Every time he came back, he would cause them to bark.The beasts totally regarded their master as a stranger. Xu Mian felt both funny and helpless.Once he sighed: "I am worried about my country and forget my family, even here. If I die, it is also a story." The meaning of the latter sentence is: "If someone writes my biography after I die, the barking of dogs is an anecdote worth remembering."
Only talk about romance, regardless of business
Xu Mian didminister of personnelAfter mastering the power to appoint and remove officials, many people came to visit and ask for officials.There was a man named Yu Hao who had a good relationship with Xu Mian and once asked“Zhan ShiFive senses ".Xu Mian said with a straight face, "You can only talk about romance tonight, not business." Yu Hao had no fun, so he had to leave with a chat.According to the historical records, "the Yi people are orderly when they are encouraged to choose officials", and "the people of the time were selfless.".[10]
To bequeath the descendants with innocence
Xu Mian is a clean and honest man. History books say that although he is prominent, he does not run industries, his family has no savings, and his salary is divided to support his relatives.Seeing his family was so poor, some people advised him to run an industry for the sake of future generations.Xu Mian replied, "If people leave their children with money, I will leave it with innocence. If children are talented, I will send it to themGui(meaning family property);If he is not talented, he will have it. "[4]
"To bequeath the descendants with innocence" is not Xu Mian's impromptu words, but his sincere expression from the bottom of his heart.Xu Mian said in the Book of Commandments to his son Xu Song:
"My family is clean and honest, so I often live in poverty. As for the industry, I have never said anything about it. It's just that I don't run it straight. The ancients said, 'It's not too thick to bequeath children with innocence.' And they said, 'It's better to bequeath children with gold than to pass them by once.' Please ask me for this. I believe in non believers. Although I am not sensitive, I really have this ambition. People should follow the righteousness, and dare not lose it. Now I hope you will have this ambition, and there will be nothing to hate."
My family is clean and honest, so I often live a poor and simple life.As for the industry, it has never been operated or talked about.The ancients said, "Isn't it a rich heritage to leave innocence to the descendants?" The ancients also said, "It's better to pass on a scripture to the descendants than to leave a box full of gold to them." It's really not false to explore these words in detail.Although I am not smart, I really have such ambition. I hope to follow and follow the teachings of the ancients, and never dare to degenerate and make mistakes.I hope you can understand and appreciate my ambition, then I will have no regrets and disappointments.
Xu Mian passed on his brilliant personality to his children, which is very enlightening to later generations.
