Origin Story
话说古代有一个富商，家财万贯，却疏于防范。他将金银珠宝随意堆放在库房里，没有上锁，也没有人看守。结果，小偷闻风而至，一夜之间，将库房洗劫一空。富商后悔莫及，这才明白‘慢藏诲盗’的道理。他女儿更是骄奢淫逸，衣着暴露，常在街上招摇过市，引来众多非议和骚扰。她不以为然，结果被恶少调戏，险些酿成大祸。这件事让富商更加深刻地体会到‘诲淫诲盗’的危害。从此，他加强了家产的防护，也严厉管教女儿，让她明白什么才是真正的修养与品德。
It is said that in ancient times, there was a wealthy merchant who had immense wealth but was negligent in protecting his property. He carelessly piled his gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse without locking it or guarding it. As a result, thieves came and, overnight, robbed the warehouse. The merchant deeply regretted it and only then understood the meaning of "careless storage invites theft". His daughter lived even more extravagantly and licentiously, dressed provocatively, and often showed off in public, attracting much criticism and harassment. She didn't take it seriously, and as a result, she was harassed by a ruffian and almost caused a great disaster. This incident made the merchant understand even more deeply the dangers of "inciting lust and theft." From then on, he strengthened the protection of his property and also strictly disciplined his daughter, teaching her what true cultivation and morality are.
