Public knowledge is a specific group of people who deliberately guide ** or express critical words, and they call themselves "public intellectuals". In today's Chinese rhetoric, the word "public knowledge" has quietly evolved into a derogatory synonym. However, in fact, Gongzhi is the most people-friendly group of intellectuals, shouldering the mission of guiding and enlightening the people. Today, let's listen to Dapeng tell the story of how Guo Tai, a famous public and well-known V, inspired the people in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Guo Tai, a native of Jiexiu, Shanxi, was a fellow villager with the virtuous minister Jie Zitui in the Spring and Autumn Period. His father, who died young, left him dependent on his mother. Faced with family difficulties, Guo's mother arranged for him to work as a civil servant in the county. However, Guo Tai was ambitious and flatly refused: "How can a big husband fall into a lowly thing?"Subsequently, Guo Tai studied hard for three years Xi with Master Qu Boyan and became an expert in speech, eloquent and eloquent. Under the recommendation of Fu Rong, Guo Tai got acquainted with the then big V Henan Yin Li Ying. After a long period of dating, Li Ying admired Guo Tai very much, and he claimed: "There are many friends, but few people can match Guo Tai." As a result, Guo Tai became a well-known big V.
Guo Tai began to emulate Confucius, traveled all over the world, had a keen eye, was good at reading people, and was willing to teach. Once, he met people in the rain and saw people hiding under big trees to take shelter from the rain. Although he had never studied physics, Guo Tai also hid under a tree. Everyone sat or squatted, twisting and crooked, but one old farmer sat upright and was different. Feeling strange, Guo Tai took the initiative to ask to spend the night at the old farmer's house. The next day, the old farmer killed the chicken and cooked for Guo Tai, who thought it was to entertain himself. However, the old farmer divided the chicken in half, one half for the mother and the other half for the cupboard. In this regard, Guo Tai was full of emotion: "Mr. is really virtuous!."I have been able to save my parents' support, and I have entertained guests like this, and you are worth learning from Xi!With that, he bowed deeply to the old farmer and thanked him.
Not only that, Guo Tai persuaded the runaway youth, showing his mind and elegance. During one meeting, Zuo Yuan, a young man who had studied at a key high school in the city, was expelled for breaking the law. Guo Tai met him halfway through and specially invited him to dinner. Guo Tai told Zuo Yuan that people are not sages, and they are infallible. He encouraged Zuo Yuan not to give up self-reflection and work hard to make amends. This time, Guo Tai did not keep the bad guys out, but built a bridge for them to repent and rehabilitate.
