Origin Story
唐朝时期，蒲州刺史陆象先以其宽厚仁慈著称。他治理下属宽松有度，从不严加惩治犯错的官员，反而常以谆谆教诲化解矛盾。一些人认为陆象先这种做法是在纵容官员犯错，甚至有人暗中议论说陆象先治下混乱。然而，陆象先并不在意这些非议，依然坚持自己的原则。一次，一名官员犯了错，秘书建议严惩，陆象先却说："天下本无事，庸人扰之而烦耳。"意思是说，很多事情本身就没什么大不了的，是人们自己庸人自扰，才导致事情变得复杂麻烦。陆象先的宽厚不仅没有导致蒲州的混乱，反而使得当地百姓安居乐业，社会风气和谐向上。他那句"天下本无事，庸人扰之而烦耳"，也成为了后世为人处世的一句警言，提醒人们不要庸人自扰，要以平和的心态对待生活中的琐事。
During the Tang Dynasty, Lu Xiangxian, the prefect of Puzhou, was known for his kindness and benevolence. His administration of subordinates was lenient and moderate, and he never severely punished officials who made mistakes. Instead, he often used kind teachings to resolve conflicts. Some people believed that Lu Xiangxian's approach was condoning officials' mistakes, and some even secretly discussed that Lu Xiangxian's administration was chaotic. However, Lu Xiangxian didn't care about these criticisms and still adhered to his principles. Once, an official made a mistake, and the secretary suggested a severe punishment. However, Lu Xiangxian said: "天下本无事，庸人扰之而烦耳." This means that many things are not that serious; people worry unnecessarily, making things complicated and troublesome. Lu Xiangxian's leniency didn't lead to chaos in Puzhou but resulted in the local people living in peace and prosperity, and a harmonious and upward-trending social atmosphere. His phrase "天下本无事，庸人扰之而烦耳" became a proverb for future generations' conduct, reminding people not to worry unnecessarily and to treat daily life matters with serenity.
