“四知”美名留青史  应与乾坤共久长

Yang Zhen with his Four Knows

大家好！我叫祁润格，来自万科双语学校五年级D班。

Hi everyone, I am Qi Runge from Class 5D of VBS.

今天，我给大家分享的廉政小故事是关于“四知”清官杨震的故事。

Today I will share with you Yang Zhen's 'Four knows' story on honesty and clean hands.

为什么叫四知清官呢？四，一二三四的四；知，知道的知。让我们在下面的小故事中寻找答案吧。

Why four knows? Let's find out by this story.

东汉时期呢，有个叫杨震的名臣，官职曾做到当时的太尉。他一生淡泊名利，清正廉明。历史上广为流传的就是他“四知拒金”的故事。

In East Han period, Yang Zhen was famous official for his justice and clean hands.

故事说的是当年，他在荆州做官时，发现一个叫王密的人才华出众，便向朝廷举荐了王密做昌邑县的县令。几年后，杨震在调往东莱太守赴任的途中，路经昌邑。王密听说后亲自来到郊外迎接恩师，为恩师安顿食宿，照顾得那是无微不至呀。

As he stationed at Jingzhou, he recommended Wang Mi to station in Changyi County as he found out Wang had talents. A few years later, Yang Zhen passed by Changyi during his transfer. Wang fetched him personally outside the county and took care of his stay.

那天晚上，王密前去杨震的官邸去拜访，他见房间里没有别人，迅速地从怀中拿出黄金十两，端放在杨震的案桌上，说，“恩师您难得光临，下官特意准备了一点小礼，请您收下，以报答您对我的栽培之恩。”

Wang Mi visited Yang Zhen that night. He offered Yang Zhen some gold as he saw nobody in the room to show his gratitude.

“不可！不可！”杨震想不到王密会来这一手，连忙摆手拒绝。他语重心长地说：“以前我是因为了解你有真才实学，才推举你担此重任，可你现在这样做，真是太不知道我的为人了”。

Yang Zhen turned down his offer, 'I chose you because I knew you had talents. You know nothing about me by doing so.'

王密自讨了个没趣，但仍想争取，于是轻声轻气地说：“反正这半夜三更的，又没有外人知道。”杨震听了后更生气了。他正色地说：“你送金子给我，外人怎会不知？即使没别人知道，你顶天而来，天知道；踏地而来，地知道；携金而来，你知道；赠金与我，我知道。以为没别人知道就宽容自己，这是很要不得的。”王密听了后，羞愧得很，只好夹起金子，谢罪离去。

Wang Mi insisted to offer gold as there was no one here. Yang was angry,' The Heaven knows, the Earth knows. You know and I know that you offer me this gold. It is not wise to go easy on yourself if no one else knows,' Wang Mi took back the gold and left.

这就是被传为千古佳话的“四知拒金”的故事。现在大家知道四知清官的来历了吧。

This is the story passed on by generations. Thus Yang Zhen has a nickname on four knows.

清正廉明、正直无私一直是中华民族的传统美德，是中国传统道德对从政者的基本要求, 也是我们社会主义核心价值观的重要内容。在杨震的家乡，陕西潼关，人们为了纪念这位“四知”清官，建立了杨震廉政教育基地，为的是让他清廉为官的精神在新时代里得到继承和发扬。“四知拒金”的故事也时刻告诫我们，做人要诚实自律，做事要廉洁奉公，不能因为别人没有看见就做对不起良心、违背法律法规的事情。

Honesty and clean hands are traditional Chinese virtues and the basic requirements for politicians as well as our core socialist values. At Yang Zhen's hometown, Tongguan, people set up education base under his name to pass on his virtues in this new era. This story also tells us about integrity and self-discipline at work as you cannot do things against your conscience or the law.

“四不”清官林则徐

Lin Zexu with his Four NOs

什么是廉洁呢？“廉洁”这个词最早出现在战国时期。伟大的诗人屈原在《楚辞·招魂》中写道:“朕幼清以廉洁兮,身服义而未沫。”廉，就是清廉，就是指不贪取不应得的钱财；洁，就是洁白，指人生光明磊落的态度。通俗一点的讲，廉洁就是说我们做人要有清清白白白的行为，光明磊落的态度。

What is honesty and clean hands? They could be seen as early as the period of Warring States. The great poet Qu Yuan mentioned it in his poem. It means we have to be righteous and honest by not taking the wealth that does not belong to us.

接下来我要给大家分享的廉洁故事是关于林则徐的“四不”故事。林则徐，清末政治家，虎门销烟的大功臣。1838年11月，钦差大臣林则徐肩负着禁烟重任，离开京城向广东进发。那时，别说钦差大臣，就是一般的京官外出，那也是前呼后拥、派头十足、八面威风。而途经的地方官更是极尽阿谀奉迎之能事，细心伺候，唯恐不周。所以当时外出的京官，很多是经一站停一站，接受贿赂馈赠，尽情作威作福。

The story I am about to share is about Lin Zexu and his four NOs. As a famous politician at late Qing Dynasty who was in charge of burning opium at Humen, he left Beijing in November 1838. Officials like him would receive bribes during their travel to the destinations. 

林则徐十分痛恨这种腐败现象，为了防止沿途各地官员按老习惯办事儿，临行前就明令通知各地官员，必须做到四不：一、不准馈赠礼物；二、不许惊扰百姓，三、不准大办酒席；四、不许送钱给随从人员。后来他在途中发现，有的地方官为了迎接他，费了不少人力、物力、财力去翻修房子，于是他又补充了一条：不住豪华房子！这样林则徐所经之地才未出现铺张浪费、私送财物等行为。

But Lin Zexu resented such things. He released a statement before leaving Beijing to all officials to have four NOs - no giving presents, no disturbing people, no hosting gathering dinner or no giving bribery. As he travelled, he found out that local officials welcomed him by renovating the house he would stay with many resources. Thus he added up one more NO - no living in luxurious houses so that the places he passed by had no wastage or bribery.

中华民族几千年的文明传承，廉洁奉公，早已筑成我们民族的精神！这种精神总是在不同的时代中熠熠生辉，无论历史如何变迁，无论时代如何发展，勤政廉洁永远都是时代的呼唤、人民的期盼。我们小学生要从小就树立起正确的人生观，为实现和谐、伟大社会的目标而奋斗。 

Our ancestors passed down good virtues which have become our national spirits. They last forever no matter how history evolves or develops and serve as the calling from people. As primary school students we must have the correct values and work hard to realise the peaceful and grandeur society.
