Origin of ancient books

According to the biography of Li siliezhuan in historical records, "Mount Tai does not allow soil, so it can be large; rivers and seas do not choose small streams, so it can be deep." The reason why Mount Tai is so majestic and magnificent is that he does not refuse every grain of soil. The reason why the sea is rough, boundless and galloping is that it does not refuse every small river. The same should be true of employment. We should not only trust relatives and friends, but also accept all kinds of things. It's the same with being a man. You should know how to be erudite, ask questions deeply, and be open-minded.
