He will not change his principles due to changes in the outside world(不欺暗室)
(Liu Xiang) is an outstanding writer. He is
also one of the most famous historians in Chinese history.
A story is recorded in the history book he
edited.
During the Spring and Autumn Period of
China, the king and queen of the Wei Kingdom sat in the palace one night.
It was late at night and it was quiet all
around. The sound of a carriage came from a distance.
The sound of the carriage stopped at the
gate of the palace, and it sounded again after a while.
The king said to the queen. Who would go
out in a carriage so late?
The queen answered. I guess it's the
minister (Zang Boyu).
The king asked the queen. Why do you guess
it is him. .
The queen answered. According to etiquette,
when the carriage passed the gate of the palace, the people in the carriage had
to get off and walk over.
Among all the ministers, I think (Zang
Boyu) has the highest requirements for himself.
He will stick to his principles even when
no one sees it.
The king sent a guard to confirm. The
result is just as the queen guessed.
But the king wanted to say a joke with the
queen at this time.
He said to the queen, you guessed wrong,
it's another person
The queen said to the king after hearing this. Congratulations.
The king said suspiciously. You guessed
wrong, why congratulate me.
The queen answered. I originally thought
that in our kingdom, only (Zang Boyu) had this kind of character, but I didn't
expect that there were others besides him.
The more such people, the more helpful to
our kingdom. So I want to congratulate you.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
remains godly to things even when he is alone.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you maintain the same respect and
politeness in an environment where you are surrounded by strangers? What kind
of person do you seek to be
I hope this story will give you some new gains.

不欺暗室(He will not change his principles due
to changes in the outside world)
(劉向)是一位傑出的文學家。他也是中國歷史上最著名的歷史學家之一。
他編輯的歷史書上記載一個故事。
中國的春秋時代，衛王國的國王與皇后有一天晚上坐在皇宮中。
夜已深，四周圍很安靜。遠方傳來一輛馬車的聲音。
這馬車的聲音到了皇宮門口就停止，過了一會兒才又響起。
國王對皇后說。是誰會那麼晚還搭乘馬車出門呢。
皇后回答。我猜是大臣(蘧伯玉)。
國王問皇后。妳為何猜是他。。
皇后回答。根據禮節，馬車經過皇宮大門的時候，在車上的人要下車用走的過去。
所以的大臣中，我認為(蘧伯玉)對於自己的要求最高。
他就算在沒有人看見的時候，他還是會堅持自已的原則。
國王便派一位侍衛去確認。結果就如同皇后所猜。
但國王這時候想說跟皇后開個玩笑。
他對皇后說，你猜錯了，是另外一個人唷
皇后聽到這句話後對國王說。那太恭喜你了。
國王很疑惑地說。妳猜錯了，為何要恭喜我。
皇后回答。我原本以為在我們王國中，只有(蘧伯玉)有這種品德，但沒想到除了他之外還有別人也是如此。
這種人愈多對我們王國會愈有幫助。所以我要恭喜你。
這句成語被用來形容一個人就算他獨處時也一樣保持對事物的敬虔。
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。
你在周圍全部是陌生人的環境中、也會保持一樣的恭敬與禮貌嗎?你自我追求成為怎樣的人呢
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
