Now we often use this idiom to describe people, but there are indeed some people in history who have violated the principle of "speaking as you are". I will give you a report today.
I. Cai Jing
Speaking of Cai Jing, we may all know that this man was the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. He has served as prime minister four times and has been in office for more than ten years. Cai Jing's calligraphy is very good, heroic and unique, but his people are not free and easy. He often does bad things, occupies a high position, takes advantage of his position to build large buildings and squanders the country's money at will. He was responsible for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Second, Qin Gui.
As we all know, Qin Gui, as the prime minister, was a traitor, which directly led to the tragic death of Yue Fei, a famous anti-gold star, and is still spurned by later generations. However, Qin Gui's handwriting is not like his own. Qin Gui's calligraphy is neat and full of righteousness, and the Song style commonly used in our later generations is written by Qin Gui. It can be seen that he obviously violated the principle that words are like people.
Third, small Shenyang.
Speaking of small Shenyang, everyone should have seen Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and copper teeth. Small Shenyang took advantage of his position to accept bribes, and the money at home can be said to be comparable to the national treasury. The handwriting of such a traitor is very good. In order to please the emperor, Xiao Shenyang once imitated Qianlong's handwriting, so he wrote well, but he was a traitor.
Fourth, Yan Song
Yan Song's handwriting is also very good, and his brushwork is vigorous and powerful, but the person who writes such good handwriting is a big traitor, corrupt and persecuting the loyal. Many charges, even if the enemy has Enemy at the Gates, he still ignored.
To sum up, I think these four people violated the principle of "keeping your word as you are".
