First, the temperament is calm and noble. Regarding Wang Mian's temperament and personality, the original text wrote: "This Wang Mian is smart by nature. When he is under 2 years old, he will take that astronomy and geography, but his temperament is different: he neither seeks official titles nor makes friends, and closes his door to study all day." "When I saw Qu Yuan's clothes painted on the map of Chu Ci again, he made a very high hat and a very wide dress, and took his mother in an ox cart, wearing a high hat and wide clothes, clinging to a whip and playing everywhere." From these descriptions, we can see that Wang Mian was a very intelligent and knowledgeable person when he was young, and he was not interested in being an official at all. What he pursues is the independent and noble sentiment of ancient sages, and he likes the free and casual life. It can also be seen that what Wang Mian admired was the life style of celebrities in Wei and Jin Dynasties. Like the "Seven Sages of Bamboo Forest", he liked the lifestyle that was not limited to etiquette and quietism. I like the confident, frank and maverick style of doing things. Not afraid of worldly vision, confident and frank, I really live the life I yearn for. Therefore, in the attitude towards official positions, Wang Mian was in a state of avoidance and refusal all his life. Even when the emperor called him up, he refused to take office. It is obvious that all this is determined by his temperament. 2. Following the example of celebrities and sages, when the magistrate of a county specially invited someone to invite Wang Mian, Wang Mian said, "Master Qin, I don't know, but you heard me. Don't you see the story of drying wood and leaking willow? I don't want to go. " As can be seen from this self-report of Wang Mian in the original work, Wang Mian takes people like Duan Ganmu and Liu Xie as his role models and is determined to learn from them. So, who are these two people? Duan Ganmu, a famous man of Wei during the Warring States Period, when Wei Wenhou visited him, he didn't want to be an official, so he jumped over the wall and ran away. He has been a Taoist official all his life, often living in seclusion among civilians, and likes to live a free and easy life. Liu Xie, a disciple of Confucius, was one of the seventy-two sages. When Duke Lu visited him, he didn't want to be an official, so he closed the door and didn't come out to meet him. Celebrities like Duan Ganmu and Liu Xie are the kind of people who have tried their best to refuse to become officials all their lives. They just don't want to enter the huge siege of officialdom and lose themselves; What they are pursuing is a free and carefree life. Following their example, Wang Mian made it clear that he didn't want to be an official or pursue fame and wealth. What Wang Mian pursues is a free and easy life. Therefore, he refused to be an official by all means. III. Mother's Last Words When Wang Mian's mother died, she left Wang Mian a last word, which was one of the main reasons why Wang Mian refused to be an official. She said, "I can't see anything." But in recent years, people have said in my ear that you have learned, and you should be advised to go out as an official. Being an official is not about Rongzong Yaozu, is it? I see that those who are officials can't end well. Besides, your temperament is arrogant. If something goes wrong, it will be ugly. My son can listen to my last words, and will marry and have children in the future, guarding my grave and not going out to be an official. I
