明代政治家张居正,本来十分注重名节。他曾喟然感叹官场的交际太广,费用太滥,诸多贵重礼物不从百姓那里勒索如何取得?如果昧心收受这些馈赠,就如同“以肉驱蝇”,必导致“蝇愈至”。但是,在强大的官场“潜规则”桎梏下,他最后仍然是选择了屈从。 Zhang Zhengzheng, a politician in the Ming Dynasty, had always attached great importance to the festival. He once lamented that the officialdom’s communication is too wide, the expenses are too heavy, many valuable gifts are not extorted from the people, how to obtain it, and if you accept these gifts, you will be like “flying with flesh”, which will lead to “flying”. However, under the sway of a powerful official “hidden rule”, he finally chose to submit.
