Source text
Original Chinese poem
知君指拟是空华，
底事茫茫未有涯；
牢把脚根踏实地，
善为善应永无差。
Allusion
Allusion title: 王佑植三槐.
Guan Di lots often use old stories as mirrors for judgment.
The traditional Chinese note follows.
王佑植三槐 王佑植三槐，是借用三槐喻三公典故。《周礼·秋官·朝士》有“面三槐，三公位焉”的记载，说是周朝宫廷外种三棵槐树，三公朝见天子。而三公，朝廷中三种最高官衔的合称，周代时以太师、太傅、太保为三公。文学家苏轼，同王旦之孙王巩是朋友，曾应王巩的请求写了一篇《三槐堂铭》。此文被编入《古文观上》书中，广为流传。
孟尝君招贤 战国·孟尝君，姓田名文。尝谓其父田婴曰："家累万金，门下不见一贤者。"后其父卒，孟尝君立在落(路)，招致诸侯宾客及亡（逃亡）人，有罪者皆归焉。孟尝君舍业厚遇之，以故倾天下之士。其时，门下食客数千，无分贵贱，一与交等。
