evade the subject under discussion

"Wang Gu talking about him" is a sentence from the literary work "Mencius · King Hui of Liang". The original meaning is: King Xuan of Qi looked around the people around him and talked about other things. Now it has become a common idiom. It refers to opening the topic and avoiding difficult questions.

The source of the words is Mencius, who said to King Qixuan: "Wang Zhichen is a person who asks his wife to visit Chu with his friends. If it's more serious than that, I'll be discouraged. What about his wife? " The king said, "abandon it." He said, "if a scholar can't rule a scholar, what is it like?" The king said, "it has been." He said, "if there is no rule within the four borders, what is it like?" Wang Gu talked about him.
