Story:

During the Western Han dynasty, Jia Shan penned 'Zhi Yan' (Words of Utmost Importance) to advise Emperor Wen, expounding on the importance of broad consultation and open discourse.

He believed that if the emperor welcomed diverse opinions and nurtured talented individuals, the state would become powerful, just like 'where thunderbolts strike, nothing is left unbroken; where ten thousand jun of weight presses, nothing is left uncrushed.'

Emperor Wen found his arguments very reasonable and practical, so he heeded Jia Shan's advice and promoted open discussion.
