【Idiom Story】:

The meaning of the idiom "broad but not refined" is a metaphor for common sense, broad but not profound

This idiom comes from the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Ma Rong Biography", Jia Jun is fine but not Bo, Zheng Jun is Bo but not Bo, that is, fine is Bo, how can I add it?

Zheng Xing, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is famous for his research on Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period. His son, Zheng Zhong, studied this work with his father at the age of twelve. Later, Zheng Zhong also studied "Zhou Yi", "Mao Poems", "Zhou Li" and other scripture works, so that he was knowledgeable, almost omnipresent, and very famous in the upper class.

After Zheng Zhong became an official, he explained to some young people "Mao's Poems" and "Zhou Li" and other scripture works in his spare time, and spent a lot of energy annotating "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period". Later, the annotation of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" was finally completed. After this book was circulated, it was as famous as "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" annotated by another scholar Jia Kui, and was well received by scholars. At that time, the most famous scholar was Ma Rong. He annotated "Zhou Yi", "Shangshu", "Mao's Poems", "Three Rites", "Analects", and "Filial Piety", so that the ancient scriptures reached a mature state, so that there were as many as 1,000 disciples. In addition to annotating the scriptures, Ma Rong also annotated "Laozi" and "Huainanzi". During the lecture, they sit in the high hall, hang up the gauze tent, let the students sit in front of the lecture, and a group of female musicians play music in the back, which is very distinctive.

After Ma Rong studied the "Zuo Chuan", he also prepared to annotate a copy of "Zuo's Spring and Autumn", and after carefully reading the annotations of Jia Kui and Zheng Zhong, he commented: "Jia Kui's annotations are profound but not extensive, and Zheng Zhong's annotations are extensive but not profound. If I am profound and extensive, how can I surpass them? Ma Rong felt that these two annotations had their own strengths, and together they made up for their respective shortcomings, so he decided not to annotate "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" anymore.
