Examples of stories about celebrities who corrected their mistakes after they realized they were wrong

A wise person corrects his mistakes when he knows them; a foolish person conceals his mistakes when they are wrong. When you find that you have made a mistake, stopping yourself is progress. If you insist on going your own way for the so-called face or dignity, you will only make one mistake and end up in a mess. The following is a story I compiled for you about celebrities who corrected their mistakes after they knew they were wrong. I hope it will be helpful to you!

Part 1 of stories about celebrities who corrected their mistakes after they knew they were wrong: Xu Beihong admitted that he made a mistake in painting duck

Xu Beihong studied in France in his early years. His character modeling focused on realistic expressions, and he was especially good at sketching. Regarding Chinese painting, he advocated reform: "What can be adopted from Western painting should be integrated into it." ?The fusion of Chinese and Western techniques formed his unprecedented realistic painting style.

I heard from an old man that once, when Xu Beihong was reviewing a painting at an art exhibition, a country man suddenly came up to him and said: Sir, the duck in your painting is wrong. The painting is of a shelduck. How can a shelduck have such a long tail? When everyone took a look, it turned out to be Xu's new work, "Poetic about the warmth of the spring river in Dongpo". In it, there are shelduck tail feathers curled like rings. Villagers say that male ducks have bright feathers and curly tails; female shelducks have heather brown feathers and short tails, which is wrong.

Xu admitted that she was neglectful in sketching and left with deep gratitude. Story 2 of famous people who corrected their mistakes after realizing their mistakes: Mencius divorced his wife

According to the "Book of Rites": One day during the Warring States Period, Mencius's wife was alone in the house, and Mencius suddenly broke in from outside. When I came here, I saw her indecent posture, and I suddenly got angry and ran to my mother to complain. He said: "My wife is rude to me, so I have to kick her out of the house today!"

Meng's mother asked: "What happened to make you want to divorce your wife?" Mencius replied She said: "She was squatting in the room just now. Her posture was really ugly. This was rude to me. The wife does not respect her husband. I must divorce her!" Meng's mother felt a little strange when she heard this and continued to ask: "What do you mean?" Said, how did you find her squatting in the room? Meng Ziman replied with reason: "I saw this with my own eyes. I just opened the door to see.

"Stop talking, I understand. . After Mencius' mother asked about the situation, she loudly rebuked her son and said, "This is clearly your rudeness, not your wife's!" Mencius was a little confused. He was not convinced. Mother Meng then explained: "Isn't there a saying like this: When you are about to enter the house, ask who is there; when you are about to go to the hall, your voice must be loud; when you are about to enter the house, you must look down." No matter whose door you enter, you must knock on the door beforehand or cough loudly to let others know that someone is coming. You can't take advantage of someone's surprise and make a sudden intrusion. This is a polite rule that ordinary people understand. But it would be better for you to go to your wife's private place, don't knock before entering, and rush in quietly. When you see your wife squatting, you have to leave for a while, but you are still looking at this. What should I do if I call you your wife? Isn't this just you being rude? How can you say your wife is rude?

Mencius did not expect that his mother drew the opposite conclusion from the same thing. Although the criticism was sharp, every sentence was well-founded, so Mencius quickly admitted his mistake. The third story of celebrities who corrected their mistakes after they recognized them: Su Dongpo admitted his mistakes to Wang Anshi

Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and people called him Su Xueshi. Su Dongpo was talented, wrote good articles, and composed good poems. But no matter how knowledgeable a person is, it is impossible for him to know everything about the world, so he will inevitably make mistakes sometimes.

One day, Su Dongpo met with Wang Anshi, the prime minister of the dynasty. The servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion took him into Wang Anshi's study and said that the Prime Minister was out on business and would be back soon. He asked Xuexiang Su to wait with tea. After waiting for a while, when the master did not come back, Su Dongpo strolled to the desk and saw a poem about chrysanthemums spread out on the table. This poem was not finished, only two sentences were written:

?Last night the west wind passed through the garden, blowing down the yellow flowers and covering the ground with gold.

?

Su Dongpo couldn't help but secretly laugh after seeing it: "The west wind" is obviously the autumn wind, and the "yellow flowers" are chrysanthemums. Chrysanthemums have always dared to withstand the wind and frost, and are the most resistant to cold and frost. The west wind is blowing. Falling yellow flowers and the ground is covered with gold?, isn’t it a big mistake? Thinking of this, Su Dongpo became so inspired by poetry that he couldn’t restrain himself, so he dipped his pen in ink and wrote two sentences in the letter:

?Autumn flowers are no better than this. Spring flowers fall, and the poet chants carefully. ?

Su Dongpo put down his brush and stayed for a while. When his master didn't come back, he got up and left. Besides, after Wang Anshi returned home, he went to the study to meet Su Dongpo. He just shook his head and did not care about Su Dongpo.

Later, Su Dongpo came to Huangzhou to serve as the deputy envoy of regiment training.

Su Dongpo lived in Huangzhou for nearly a year. On the Double Ninth Festival, strong winds blew for several days. One day, after the wind subsided, Su Dongpo invited several friends to the countryside to enjoy chrysanthemums. I saw colorful fallen flowers in the chrysanthemum garden, the ground was covered with gold, and it looked like a bleak scene in the west wind. At this time, Su Dongpo suddenly remembered the continuation of the poem to Wang Anshi. He was stunned and speechless for a long time. He suddenly realized that he had made a joke in the past, and quickly wrote a letter to Wang Anshi to admit his mistake.
