Once, they sat on the same mat to study. A man in a skirt happened to pass the door in a covered car. Guan Ning was still reading as before, but Huaxin put down his book and went out to read it. Guan Ning cut off the mat and sat apart from Hua Xin, saying, "You are no longer my friend."
Said by: Liu Yiqing in the Southern Dynasties "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" Virtue first: hoeing vegetables in the gardens of Guan Ning and Huaxin. Seeing a piece of gold in the field, there was no difference between a hoe and a tile stone. China caught it and threw it away. I have also tasted the taste of reading at the same table. People passing by the entrance would rather read as before, and I am willing to waste my books. Ning cut his seat and sat down separately, saying, "My son is not my friend."
Story enlightenment
Do not be too arbitrary, observe more and don't draw conclusions easily, so as to do better. Don't be confused by money and fame, or it will be difficult to make good friends.
Since the story of "Guan Ning gave up his seat" was sung, people have been promoting that Guan Ning is a typical person who is not greedy for glory or money. However, Guan Ning can't treat his friends in two, and the attitude of breaking up is too one-sided.
Ning Guan broke up with his friend because one or two details didn't meet his own standards, which was a bit demanding. However, Hua Xin is greedy for vanity, and Guan Ning can't be blamed for cutting seats and breaking justice.
However, it is somewhat arbitrary for Guan Ning to judge Hua Xin's yearning for wealth and official wealth based on these two trivial matters. But he is very determined, he found that he and Hua Xin are not the same, and he will give up his seat sooner or later! Choose like-minded friends, study hard to cultivate friends, and make friends carefully.
