He picked out a few words from the pile of old papers. , stole some clichés from the conversation, and thought he was a true follower of Confucius. At this time he met Liu Xie. Liu Xie, a clever and knowledgeable scholar, laughed when he saw him and said, "It's because you don't know that I am Confucius's elder brother." The Taoist gentleman suddenly changed his face angrily, stood up and said, "If God If Confucius had not been born, the world would have been in darkness for eternity. Who are you to dare to call Confucius by his name and call yourself your elder brother?" Liu Xie said, "No wonder the saints before Emperor Xi burned paper all day long. Walking with a candle!" The man answered without saying anything, but how could he understand the profound truth of Liu Xie's words?

After hearing this, I, Li Zhi, praised: "This sentence is concise and appropriate, general and thought-provoking. It can break away the obstruction of clouds and make the sky clear. His remarks are like this, he You can also understand his character. Although this is a temporary joke, the profound truth behind it is unchangeable for thousands of years."
