Baodai bridge, also known as Longqiao, is one of the four famous bridges in ancient China. The ancient canal across Sioux City and Lake Dan Tai.

Around Taitai Lake, there are Dan Tai Lake Bridge and Dan Tai Lake Park named after "Dan Tai" ... All these are related to one person, that is, Tan Tai, the ancestor of the compound surname "Dan Tai" in the world. It is also the origin of the idiom "judge a person by his appearance" that I want to say today.

Who's Tantamine? Maybe you don't know. Let's put it another way: one of the 72 disciples of Confucius, I think everyone will understand.

According to historical records, Tantai was destroyed and ugly, and was recommended to Confucius by disciple Ziyou.

Although Confucius accepted him as a disciple, he felt that his image was not good and he could not achieve great things, so he didn't like him. Yu Zi was not discouraged or sad, but worked hard, practiced rigorously, set up altars everywhere to give lectures and publicized Confucianism, which had a great influence at that time.

Soon his talent and moral character spread all over the vassal States. When Confucius learned this, he regretted it very much and sighed, "Judge a person by his appearance, and lose his feather.".

This is where the idiom "judge a person by his appearance" comes from. [Historical Records] We have no doubt.

What I want to say is that when Yu Zi met Confucius, he was 60 years old. As such a clever man, how can he despise a person because of his appearance?

Besides, Confucius' appearance is not pleasing. It is recorded in the history books, so I won't say more. How can you not like others if you are ugly? It's really the same boat.

? Then the question is, is it beautiful to judge a book by its appearance?

Regardless of beauty and ugliness, Yu Zi is always famous for its outstanding appearance. There were still many handsome guys in the pre-Qin period, not only beautiful, but also very talented. Going out is also an empty scene, no less than the current groupies.

Yu Zi was recommended by Zi You, Confucius' favorite student. He should have said a lot of compliments in front of his old man's house. Maybe that's the case. Confucius expected too much of him, but he felt that his talent and virtue were not as good as his appearance, so he looked down on him. Is that why Yu Zi works hard?

Wu's school is located by the lake. The villagers benefited a lot from this, and they all called him Dan Tai Zi. In the Song Dynasty, Dan Tai Ancestral Temple was built on the top of Yinshan Mountain in Suzhou. In the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to Dan Tai College.

After destruction.
