The origin of Idioms

Zhang Juzheng's answer to Zhou Qianming of nanxue University in the Ming Dynasty: "it's hard to understand leniency and righteousness. Everything is for appeasement and relaxation. Jia's reputation is so popular that scholars are arrogant and extravagant, and their customs are getting worse and worse. When they have one or two forces to hold them back, they advocate empty talk and open up evil paths. It's so-called to drive away flies with meat and put out fire with salary."
