Hello everyone, I am Cong Xinya, a elementary school student of the Art Training Department of the Yantai Cultural Museum. Let me tell you a story.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, when Song Guowei went up the mountain, he picked up a piece of treasure. He was worried that others would come to grab, want to take it out for sale, and fear that the businessmen were taken advantage of cheap. Thinking about it, he decided to give this treasure to the officials in Beijing. So, with Baoyu, he came to the capital of the capital of the capital to take charge of the project, and presented Baoyu.

Zihan felt strange, so he asked, "I don't know each other with you, why do you want to offer Baoyu to me? I never accept any gifts of others." The man thought that Zihan suspected that this was a fake jade, so he would then Answer: "I asked the jade craftsman to see this piece of jade. It is indeed a real jade, which is valuable to the city, so I will give it to you." Zihan said: "I use the character that is not greedy as a treasure, you take this piece, you take this piece. Jade is used as a treasure. If you give me the jade, both of us have lost their treasures. Things, I dare not go out, I dedicate it to you to avoid trouble. "Zihan asked the man to stay temporarily, asking the jade crafts to process the treasure jade, and then help him sell the jade out of the jade. , Give all the money they get to that person. And send someone to send him home.

This story is found in "Fifteen Years of Zuo Zhuan • Xianggong". After that, people used the idiom "not greedy to be treasure" to describe the noble quality of cleanliness and integrity.
