Legend has it that because his daughter ate a cake given by a servant, Harry thought that men and women were not close, saying that if it was his daughter, he should be ashamed of himself. For this reason, my five-year-old daughter was locked up. Whether it was a real event a long time ago or a story invented by later generations has been impossible to verify. I will talk about my views on this matter from the following aspects.

The first aspect is that Harry has a strict mother. Legend has it that Harry's mother, like Mencius' mother, familiarized him with Confucian classics such as The Doctrine of the Mean and Shangshu for the sake of Harry's education, and established a very firm moral outlook, which made Harry, as an ordinary person, very emotional and suppressed his humanistic and emotional side. So there is no father's spoil and love for his daughter, but he is as strict as Harry's mother's replica.

On the other hand, I personally think it is false that Harry's daughter was starved to death by him. Although ancient information was not as developed as it is now, the public opinion power of word-of-mouth communication is also very strong. If Harry really drives his daughter to death alive, he may lose his job. It is difficult to be honest and upright. Not only is there no oil and water, but it is also squeezed out by colleagues. If there is such a thing, I'm afraid Harry will hardly be immortalized.

Thirdly, this story originated from Shen Defu's Supplement to Wan Yeli. First of all, that's unofficial history. It's not real. Secondly, when Harry died, the author Shen Defu was only 9 years old. How does a child know? I'm afraid he added a lot of his own imagination and exaggerated the facts. After this story was quoted by later generations, it spread more widely.

Even if the Confucian tradition is harsh, it is better to listen to this legend and not mislead others. It's purely personal. If you agree, I hope to adopt it.
