Ouyang Xiu began to live in Chuzhou, known as Koukou, and later changed his name to Liu Yi. He is strong and brave. Although the trap is in front of him, he does not care about it. He was exiled and exiled many times, but his ambition was still the same. When he was demoted to Yiling, he had no way to send himself away. He took out the old case and looked at it repeatedly. He saw that there were countless mistakes and mistakes. So he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It is so far away from a small city. The world knows." From then on, I dare not neglect anything. The scholar asked to see him, and he never talked about the article, only talked about the official affairs, saying that the article only moistens the body, the political affairs can be used to change the situation. In the past few counties, there was no trace of governance, no pursuit of reputation, leniency and simplicity, no harassment, so the people wherever they went were very convenient. Someone asked,"What is the reason for the leniency and simplicity of government, and for the non-neglect of government affairs?" Mencius said,"To be lenient is to be lenient, and to be brief is to be simple. The government affairs will be wasted, and the people will suffer from their maladies. What I mean by leniency is not to be hasty, and what I mean by simplicity is not to be complicated." When he was young, he lost his father. His mother once said to him,"Your father is an official. He often reads official books at night. He often sighs when he is abandoned. When I asked him, he said,'It's a prison of death. I can't get him to live.' I said,'Can life be sought?' And he said,'I have sought life, but have not found it, and neither have I hated the dead. The constant pursuit of life is like the loss of death, and the world is always seeking death. When he teaches his children, he often uses this phrase. I'm familiar with it." After hearing this, Wang Xiu took it for his whole life.
