Stories of incorruptible people
The stories of incorruptible figures are as follows: Yang Jian-"hanging fish as a satrap", Liu Chong-"one dollar as a satrap", "hanging silk as history", Xu Mian-"romantic as history" and Yuan-"Five Dynasties".

1, Yang Xu-"Diaoyu Taishou"

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Xu served as the satrap of Lujiang for many times, never demanding bribes or abusing power for personal gain. His government, Cheng, is also very decent. One day, he saw that the sheep continued to live too hard and gave him a live carp. Faced with this "gift fish", the sheep continue to be in a dilemma.

In desperation, I had to accept it temporarily. But as soon as Jiao Jian left, he asked the servants to hang the fish under the eaves of the yard and never touch it again. After the news spread, the officials were impressed by the integrity of the sheep and dared not bribe him. Therefore, the local people all respect it as "hanging fish and being a satrap".

2. Liu Chong-"A dollar is too defensive"

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Chong served as the satrap of Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), and did many good things for the people, being clean and frugal. When he left office, the local people collected a batch of gold and silver as gifts. Although Liu Chong refused to accept it, he couldn't bear to disappoint his fellow villagers too much, so he had to take a penny as a souvenir, so he was praised as "one yuan satrap" by people at that time.

The people also built the "One Money Taishou Temple" to commemorate this honest official. Later generations have a poem praising: "Liu Chong is the best in the world, and his temple is still by the river. Recently, officials are versatile, and Mr. Shi Xue has made a lot of money. "

3. Dan Tao-History of Hanging Silk

Dan Tao in the Western Jin Dynasty was not only a great writer, but also a famous upright official. Yuan Yi, a native of Chenjun, once gave Dan Tao 100 Jin of fine silk as the magistrate. Dan Tao didn't want to fight the atmosphere alone, so he put it away and hid it in the pavilion.

Later, Yuan Yi was exposed and sent to Tingwei for punishment. Dan Tao took out the silk and handed it to the officials. The area has been dusty for many years, but the seal is intact. People can't help admiring Dan Tao's incorruptibility as an official, so people respectfully call him "the history of suspension spring".

4. Xu Mian-Romantic History

During Liang Xiao's period in the Southern Dynasties, Xu Mian was appointed as the official minister, in charge of the national organization and personnel work. Once Xu Mian and his favorite pupil had dinner in the evening, and his good friend Yu Hao took advantage of their deep friendship to ask for the position of scholar's five senses.

Xu Mian solemnly told me: "Tonight we can only talk about romantic affairs, not business." Yu Hao hit a nail and had to walk away despondently. Since then, people who are familiar with each other are afraid to come to Xu Mian to "enter through the back door". People admired his selflessness and nicknamed him "Yue Feng Shangshu", and "Stop talking about Yue Feng" became a historical allusion.

5. Yuan Yu Xiu-"Five Dynasties Clear Lang"

Yuan Lvxiu in Sui Dynasty experienced five dynasties: Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and Sui Dynasty, with Shang Shulang as the official and Shao Qing as the official. He has been an official for more than 50 years, but he is so clean that he doesn't even accept the gift of raising wine. People call him "Five Dynasties Clear Lang".
