New Members PleaseHelpmeOut Posted August 25, 2021 at 06:24 AM New Members Report Posted August 25, 2021 at 06:24 AM Recently, I have been trying to recall the name of a scholar from a particular folktale/legend. There was a scholar who lent his shirt? to a girl and let her stay in his room for one night without touching her or doing anything inappropriate. Because of that incident, people used his name as a simile in Chinese language. “ acting like <that scholar’s name> “ means that you are very good at abstinence? So my question is what is that scholar’s name? This has been bugging me for a while. His name is just at the tip of my tongue, but I couldn’t recall it! I tried googling, but it didn’t work. Also, if anyone has a link to a website about that tale, please share with me. I don’t remember much about the tale and would love to read it again. please, help me out. ? 1 Quote
