original text

When Marquis Wen of Wei went on a trip, he saw that passers-by turned their back on Qiu, and then he said, "did Hu turn his back on Qiu?" He said, "I love my hair." Marquis Wen said, "if you don't know what's inside and Mao has nothing to rely on?" Next year, Dongyang will be ten times as much as Qianbu, and the doctor will be Bi he. Marquis Wen said, "this is not why I congratulate you. For example, if a passer-by turns his back on his fur, he will love his hair. He doesn't know what's inside, and he has nothing to rely on. Today, my land is not widened, and scholars and people are not increased. Ten times as much money will be taken. When I heard that, if I feel uneasy, I can't live on top. That's why I'm not congratulated. " (selected from the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang's new preface, miscellany 2)

When Wei Wenhou went out to play, he saw a man on the road carrying firewood in a fur coat. He said, "why do you carry firewood in a fur coat?" The man replied, "I like the fur on the fur coat." Wei Wenhou said: "don't you know that if the skin is polished, there will be no place to attach?" The next year, the Dongyang government sent a gift list to pay tribute, and the amount of money paid increased tenfold. All the doctors came to congratulate me. Wei Wenhou said, "it's not for you to congratulate me. For example, it's no different from the man who wears leather clothes and carries firewood on the road. He should cherish the fur on the leather clothes, but he doesn't know that if there is no fur, there will be no place to attach it. My land has not been expanded, the government and the people have not increased, but the money has increased tenfold, which must have been collected from the officials and the people. I have heard such a saying: if the people's life is not stable, the emperor will not be able to enjoy himself. It's not for you to congratulate me. "
