Idiom story

Yan Zhitui, a writer of the Northern Qi Dynasty, is knowledgeable. His book Yan's family precepts advocates Confucianism as the way to establish oneself. He thinks that you should not be driven by the powerful just because you have a little praise, and you should not be humiliated because you are in a low position by the powerful. On the contrary, the powerful will not give you an official position, on the contrary, it will only become a tool of entertainment for the powerful.
