Gan Tang: Kimi. That's Li Tang. "Historical records.

Study well, be an official and go into politics;

"Learning to be excellent is an official" is a sentence quoted from The Analects of Confucius, which says: Learning to be excellent is an official, and learning to be excellent is an official. The eulogy means: if you study hard and have spare capacity, you can embark on your official career, hold a certain position and participate in the political affairs of the country. Here, "learning official" can not be simply understood as being an official with excellent academic performance. You know, in ancient times, it took a long time to serve the people as an official. In ancient China, the method of selecting talents was to select scholars, and one outstanding young man out of ten was called "scholar". The selected taxis will receive national training and learn etiquette, laws and regulations and other political affairs. After the training, excellent taxi drivers will be selected to serve the people. At this time, add "gas" next to the taxi and call it "official". This is "learning official". "Photographing" means assistance, and "photographing" means acting as an official, that is, starting from an official position. "Being in politics" means participating in the discussion and handling of political affairs. That is to say, even excellent talents who study well and become officials should start from the position of agents, learn from their predecessors, and become mature and sophisticated step by step in order to truly participate in the discussion and management of state affairs.

Save for Gan Tang and benefit from it;

When Zhao Gong was alive, he managed government affairs under Gan Tang tree. After his death, people missed more songs about him. "Gan Tang" is now Li Tangshu, also called Li Du Pear Tree or Wild Pear. This allusion comes from the Book of Songs, which sings: "If you build Gan Tang and don't cut it, you will call it Bo." The word "Gan Tang" leads to a historical figure-Zhou. Yes, my son and half-brother helped attack Zhou. After Zhou Wuwang died, his son became king. Wang Cheng is only 14 years old and can't manage state affairs, so his uncle Zhou Gongdan helps him manage state affairs. Zhao Bo, though not King Wen's office, still assisted the management of Wang Cheng with the Duke of Zhou. When Zhao Bo visited the south, he was very tired because of the long journey and hot weather. He is resting under a tall Gan Tang tree, dealing with government affairs. Because he is impartial and honest, he is deeply respected and loved by local nobles and people. After Zhao Gong's death, people couldn't bear to cut down this Gan Tang tree because they missed him. Therefore, the Book of Songs sings: "If you build Gan Tang, you will call it Bo if you don't cut it." Gan Tang tree is tall and big. You can't cut it down, because Zhao Gong once rested under this big tree. Later generations used the word "Gan Tang" to refer to the achievements and legacy of officials. The meaning of "going and benefiting from singing" is that although Zhou has gone, the people are singing his praises and missing him more and more. In other words, once he "takes office and goes into politics", he will be as diligent, diligent and loving the people as Zhou, and serve the people wholeheartedly. Mencius once said: Everyone can be Yao and Shun. If we can serve the people anytime and anywhere, everyone will become Zhao Gong. Therefore, although people like Zhao Gong passed away, people will always miss him.
