1- There was a man in Lu who lived alone in a room. His neighbor was a widow and lived alone in a room. One night, when the storm raged and the widow's house was destroyed, the woman came to the man and asked for shelter. Men don't let women in. The woman said to him from the window, "Why don't you let me in?" The man said, "I heard that men and women can't live together until they are 60." Now I'm young, and so are you. I can't let you in. "The woman said," Why don't you use your body to warm a woman who can't get in in the cold, just like Liu Xiahui, so others won't think he has indecent behavior. The man said, "Liu Xiahui can open the door, but I can't. Therefore, I want to learn from Liu Xiahui's "open the door" with my "not opening the door". "This story shows that in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty at the latest, there was a legend about Liu Xiahui sitting still, but it was a little vague.
Lu Renniao has lived outside the city gate for a long time. It was cold at that time, and suddenly a woman came to stay. Liu Xiahui was afraid that she would freeze to death, so she sat in her arms and covered her with clothes. The ceremony was not held until dawn the next day. The story of Liu Xiahui sitting still is circulated by later generations.
3- Mencius worships Liu Xiahui very much. In Mencius, Liu Xiahui, Boyi, Yi Yin and Confucius are called the four great saints. They think that he is not ashamed because the monarch is not wise, and he does not resign because of his humble position. People who are in high positions and do not forget to recommend talents are forgotten among the people and have no resentment; Don't worry when you are poor, you will feel very happy when you get along with rural people. He thinks he can get along with anyone without being adversely affected. Therefore, after hearing about Liu Xiahui's tolerance towards others, the original narrow-minded people will become tolerant and generous, and the original mean people will become honest and kind. Mencius believed that a saint like Liu Xiahui could be a "teacher of eternal life".
