Volume 1 of Han Shi waizhuan: "the difficulties of Duke Bai of Chu are caused by the good people of Zhuang. They say goodbye to their mother and will die Bizhichao, in the car of three wastes. His servant said, "if you are afraid, why don't you go against it?" He said: "fear is my own business; death is my own business. I heard that a gentleman does not harm the public with his own interests. " Then he went to death. " In the book of Han Dynasty, the biography of Liu Changzhuan, King li of Huainan: "in the past, Yao and Shun exiled the flesh and blood, and the Duke of Zhou killed and controlled CAI. The world was called Saint, and he did not harm the public with his own interests." Song and Qin Guan's Bai min Zhong Lun said, "if justice is more important than kindness, it is not harmful to the public for personal gain." In the sixth year of the Duke of Wen in Zuozhuan: "in November, Bingyin, Jin Dynasty, killed Xu Jianbo, Jia Ji ran to Di, xuanzi's envoy, Jupian, sent his money, searched the foreigners, Jiaji killed Jupian, Jupian's people, wanted to kill Jia to repay Yan, Jupian said, no, I heard that the former ambition, the enemy's benefit and the enemy's resentment, not in the successor, loyalty, the master's courtesy in Jiaji, I use his favor to repay personal resentment, nothing but can't be done It's not brave to spoil, to hurt resentment, to benefit hatred, to know, to harm the public with private interests, and to be loyal. How can these three things be done to the master, to use his money, to bribe him with his tools, to defend him with his parents and teachers, and to send him to the end. "
