Story:
When Wang Zijing was young, he once saw his father's students gambling. Observing the turns of luck, he remarked, "The south wind is not strong enough."
The students, dismissing him as a child, scornfully said, "A child looking at a leopard through a tube only sees a spot."
Deeply angered, Zijing retorted, "I feel distant shame when compared to Xun Fengqian, and close shame when compared to Liu Zhenzhang." With that, he shook his sleeves and departed.
