Origin Story
战国时期，齐国的相国晏婴以其睿智和才能闻名于世。一日，齐景公问晏婴：“听说最近有人在背后说我坏话，散布谣言，你可知道是谁？”晏婴不慌不忙地说：“大王，那些人只是想混淆视听罢了，不必在意。大王圣明，百姓有目共睹，谣言自会不攻自破。”晏婴深知，面对恶意中伤，最好的回应不是反击，而是保持冷静，用事实说话。他以自己的智慧和人格魅力，让那些企图混淆视听的人无从下手，最终维护了齐国的安定和团结。
During the Warring States period, Yan Ying, the prime minister of the State of Qi, was renowned for his wisdom and talent. One day, King Jing of Qi asked Yan Ying, “I’ve heard that some people have been spreading rumors and badmouthing me behind my back. Do you know who they are?” Yan Ying calmly replied, “Your Majesty, those people are merely trying to confuse the public. Don’t worry about it. Your Majesty’s wisdom is evident to all, and the rumors will naturally dispel themselves.” Yan Ying understood that when faced with malicious attacks, the best response is not retaliation, but to remain calm and speak with facts. With his wisdom and personal charm, he thwarted those who attempted to confuse the public and ultimately maintained the stability and unity of the State of Qi.
