Idiom story

Wu Yinzhi, an official in Guangzhou, passed by "greedy spring". He told me that there was such a thing, so he went to have a look. When he saw that the so-called "greedy spring" was actually just a mountain spring, he squatted down and drank with the spring water. Seeing this, his entourage quickly stepped forward to stop him: "this is greedy spring. Don't drink it!" Wu Yinzhi laughed and said: "I don't believe in the evil of greedy spring. Greedy people will be greedy even if they don't drink. Honest people can keep clean even if they drink. " Later, he wrote a poem to express his determination to be honest and clean: "the ancients said that this water, a bosom Gold: try to make Yi Qi drink, when not easy." The meaning of this poem is: it is said that people will be insatiable after drinking the water of "greedy spring". But I don't think that if you let Boyi and Shuqi (the two sons of guzhujun in Yin Shang Dynasty) drink it, they will not change their integrity. Wu Yinzhi's smile reflects the honest and upright character of "greedy spring".
