On his way to travel, Wei Ziwang met his teacher Tian Zifang and got off to salute him. Tian Zifang didn't reciprocate. Ji Zi said angrily to Tian Zifang, "Can the rich be proud of others or can the poor be proud of others?" Tian Zifang said: "It is the poor who can be proud of others! How dare rich people be proud of others! If you are proud of others, you will lose your country, and if you are proud of others, you will lose your fief. No one who has lost his country has ever heard of being treated as a monarch; People who have lost their fiefs have never heard of being treated as doctors. Poor scholars, if their words are not good and their actions are inconsistent, put on their shoes and leave. Where are they not poor? " Kiko then apologized to (Tian Zifang).
