He is an outstanding statesman. He is also

About (XimenBao). There is a story about
him in history books.
During the Warring States Period in China,
the king of the Wei Kingdom sent (XimenBao) to manage a city, which was plagued
by floods all year round.
Because this city is flooded almost every
year, there is a frightening local custom.
The custom is to find a beautiful girl
every year, and then throw this beautiful girl into the big river that flows
through the city. Be a bride to the river god who is in charge of this river.
Because only by doing this, the river god
will be happy, and the river will not overflow that year.
(XimenBao) secretly investigated and
discovered that this absurd legend was fabricated by three local elders, a
witch and a few unscrupulous officials.
They use the ignorance and fear of the
people to seek their own interests.
But this group of people is so powerful,
how to solve this problem fundamentally.
(XimenBao) thought of a way.
On the day of the event, it was just as
preparations to throw this year's bride into the water.
Suddenly, (XimenBao) said I wanted to see
this bride.
Since (XimenBao) was the highest-ranking
leader that day, no one dared to refuse his proposal.
After he finished watching, he announced to
all the onlookers. I think the bride chosen this year is so ugly that River God
will definitely not like it. We must change another person.
When the witch heard this, she said to (XimenBao).
Now there is no time to find a new bride. We must immediately dedicate this
girl to the river god, otherwise the river god will be angry.
(XimenBao) Hearing these words, he smiled,
and he said to all the onlookers.
This bride is really too ugly. If River God
sees this bride so ugly, not only will he not be happy, but he will definitely
be even more angry.
(XimenBao) went on. I have a good idea,
because the witch often talks to the river god, so I now send her to explain the
situation to the river god.
(XimenBao) ordered his men to tie up the
witch and threw it into the water.
Everyone was stunned.
Ten minutes later, (XimenBao) said to all
the crowd onlookers.
The witch alone might not be able to
explain the situation clearly, so we ask the three elders to go down and help.
(XimenBao) He ordered his men to tie up the
three elders and throw them all into the water.
Those unscrupulous officials who
participated in this project saw (XimenBao) looking at them at this time. They
were all terrified.
These officials knelt forward and pleaded
guilty in public. They made up the matter that the river god wants to marry a
bride. This matter is a lie.
At this time, (XimenBao) looked at all the
people around and announced loudly that from today onwards, River God will no
longer marry brides.
The people cheered, and these people
finally got rid of the long-term fear in their hearts.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
If you were (XimenBao), how would you
expose this lie? When you do something that everyone does, do you think about
whether it is reasonable?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.

他是一位傑出的政治家。他也是中國歷史上著名的水利專家之一。
關於(西門豹)。歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
中國的戰國時代，魏王國的國王派遣(西門豹)去管理一座城市，這座城市常年被水患所困擾。
這個城市因為幾乎每年都會水災，因此當地有一個令人害怕的風俗。
這個風俗就是，每年一定要找一位漂亮的女孩子，再把這個漂亮的女孩子丟到流經城市的大河裡。給掌管這座河流的河神當新娘。
因為只有這樣做，河神才會開心，那一年的河水才不會氾濫。
(西門豹)暗中調查後，發現這個荒謬的傳說，是由當地的三位長老，結合一位巫婆和少數不肖的官員共同編造的。
他們利用百姓的無知與恐懼去謀求自已的利益。
但這群人的勢力龐大，要如何從根本去解決這個問題呢。
(西門豹)想了一個方法。
舉辦活動的這一天，正當準備把這位今年的新娘丟下水時。
突然間，(西門豹)說我想看看這位新娘。
由於(西門豹)是當天職位最高的領導人，所以他的這提議沒有人敢拒絕。
他看完之後，跟所有圍觀的群眾宣布。我認為今年選的這位新娘實在太醜了，河神一定不會喜歡。我們必須要換一個人。
巫婆聽到這句話，她就對(西門豹)說。現在已經沒有時間再找一個新的新娘了。我們必須立刻把這女孩子獻給河神，不然河神要生氣了。
(西門豹)聽到這句話，他笑了，他對所有圍觀的群眾說。
這個新娘真的長得太醜了，若是河神看到這個新娘那麼醜，他不但不會高興、而且他一定會更生氣。
(西門豹)接著說。我有一個好辦法，因為巫婆常常跟河神對話，所以我現在派她去跟河神說明這個情況。
西門豹便吩咐自己的部下，綁起這個巫婆，接著丟入水裡。
眾人都驚呆了。
過了十分鐘，(西門豹)又跟所有圍觀的群眾說。
巫婆一個人搞不好說不清楚這個情況，我們請三個長老也下去幫忙一下。
(西門豹)便吩咐自己的部下，綁起三個長老，並且把他們三個人全部丟入水裡。
那些參與這項計畫的不肖官員們，這時候看見(西門豹)的眼睛看向他們。他們全都嚇壞了。
這幾個官員便上前跪下，並且當眾認罪。他們編造了河神要娶新娘這件事情。這件事情是一個謊言。
(西門豹)這時候，看著周圍所有的群眾，大聲宣布，從今天開始，河神不再娶新娘了。
百姓一陣歡呼，這些百姓終於免除了心中長期的恐懼。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
如果你是(西門豹)，你會怎樣去揭穿這個謊言呢?你做一件大家都這樣做的事情的時候，會去思考這件事情是否合理嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
