Idiom story

During the Jin Dynasty, there was a scholar named Guo Xiang, whose handwriting was very mysterious. He was already a very talented person when he was very young.

Guo Xiang was particularly able to observe some phenomena in daily life and then calmly think about the truth. Therefore, his knowledge is very profound, and he often has his own unique views on various things.

Later, he devoted himself to the study of Laozi and Zhuangzi's theory and had a deep understanding of it.

At that time, many people came here and asked him to go out to be an official, but he refused. He just spends his days studying or talking about philosophy with like-minded people.

Guo Xiang abides by the principle of "no official, only learning". He believes that only in this way can he get eternal happiness and live a full and comfortable life.

A few years later, the court sent someone to invite him to be an official and participate in state affairs. Guo Xiang refused again and again, but he couldn't refuse. He had to agree and became the "assistant minister Huang" of the court.

In Beijing, because of his rich knowledge, he can explain everything clearly. In addition, he is eloquent and likes to express his views. His argument is novel, clear, profound and vivid. Therefore, whenever people listen to him, they feel with relish.

At that time, there was a captain named Wang Yan who greatly appreciated Guo Xiang's knowledge and eloquence. He often praised Guo Xiang in front of others, saying, "Listening to Guo Xiang is like an upside-down river that keeps pouring down and never dries up."

Guo Xiang's eloquence illustrates this point. Later, people described people as "eloquent". Once they talk, they are like a never-ending upside-down river.
