子罕说宝, 子罕talking about what precious thing is. In the
Spring
and Autumn period770-
476BC, someone found a beautiful jade and he sent it to the chancellor of
Dukedom宋 named 子罕. 子罕refused to accept it for afraid bribery. The sender said,
“Don’t worry about what the other people said. You are the right person who
understand what is the meaning of jade (in ancient time jade means decent
person). So I dared to send it to you.”
子罕 said, “Maybe you are wrong. For I regard not greedy as the
most precious thing, while you regard beautiful jade as precious thing. If I
accept your jade that means to say both of us lost most precious things.”
