Guan Ning, Huaxin Garden hoes vegetables. Seeing a piece of gold in the field, there was no difference between a hoe and a tile stone. China caught it and threw it away. I have also tasted the taste of reading at the same table. Those who pass by the entrance of the porch would rather study as before and read those useless books. I'd rather find a seat alone and say, "I'm not my friend."

Ning Guan's Translation

Ning Guan and Huaxin are weeding in the garden. Seeing a piece of gold on the ground, Guan Ning waved his hoe as if he saw a tile stone. Hua Xin happily picked up the gold, but after seeing Guan Ning's look, he threw it away. Once, they sat on the same mat to study. A man in a skirt happened to pass the door in a covered car. Guan Ning was still reading as before, but Huaxin put down his book and went out to read it. Ning Guan cut off the mat and sat apart from Hua Xin, saying, "You are no longer my friend."

Enlightenment from Ning Guan's "Cutting Mats"

1, don't be too arbitrary, you should observe more, don't jump to conclusions easily, you can do better.

Don't be confused by money and fame, otherwise it will be difficult to make good friends.
