[Explanation]: In the old days, one of the Confucian classics "Analects" praised, mastering half of the "Analects", people's ability will be improved, and they will be able to govern the country.

【Idiom Story】:

This idiom is derived from the Song Dynasty. Luo Dajing's "Helin Yulu", people say that the people of Pushan are from Shandong, and they read the "Treatise..... Taizong tried to ask Pu with this, but Pu Luo did not hide it, and said: "The minister knows in his life, and he is honest about this." In the past, he set the world with his semi-auxiliary Taizu, and now he wants to bring peace to His Majesty with his semi-auxiliary. ”

Zhao Pu, a famous politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, was originally a pusher under Zhao Kuangyin, who was the envoy of the Later Zhou Dynasty. In 960 AD, Zhao Kuangyin led his army north, and when the troops arrived at Chenqiao, Zhao Pu gave advice to Zhao Kuangyin and launched a mutiny. Zhao Kuangyin was added to the yellow robe, became the emperor, changed the country name to Song, and was known as Song Taizu in history. Then, Zhao Pu assisted Song Taizu in his expedition to the east and west, unifying the whole country. Later, Song Taizu appointed him as prime minister.

After the death of Song Taizu, his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi succeeded to the throne, known as Song Taizong in history. Zhao Pu still serves as prime minister. Some people said to Song Taizong that Zhao Pu was a native of Shandong, did not learn and did not know how to do it, and the book he read was just a classic of Confucianism, "Analects", and it was inappropriate to be the prime minister. Song Taizong said disapprehantly: "Zhao Pu doesn't read much, I have always known this. But I don't believe that he only reads one Analects. ”

Once Song Taizong and Zhao Pu were chatting, Song Taizong casually asked: "Some people say that you only read one "Analects", is this true?" ”

Zhao Pu replied honestly: "What the minister knows is indeed not beyond the part of the Analects. In the past, the minister used half of the "Analects" to assist Taizu to pacify the world, and now the minister uses half of the "Analects" to assist His Majesty, and the world is peaceful. Later, Zhao Pu died of old age and decay, and his family opened his book, and there was really only one "Analects" in it.
