Story:
During the Western Han Dynasty, Jia Yi believed that Bo Yi and Shu Qi, who starved to death on Shouyang Mountain for refusing to eat the millet of the Zhou Dynasty, possessed great integrity.
Confucius honored them by erecting a monument, recognizing that virtuous individuals would die for their principles and reputation.
