Lot 64孟之反奔
中吉奔殿须知上古人
入门策马不夸能
败师谁肯甘从后
托谓鸣骢畏苦辛
Basic reading
AI-assisted readingThe poem in plain language
During a retreat, Meng Zhifan stays at the rear, then attributes his late return to his horse rather than his own courage. The poem praises bravery joined with modesty, using the excuse to soften a claim to personal credit.
The central idea
This lot values courage that does not demand the spotlight. Modesty can coexist with the real significance of a contribution and with accepting thanks, rather than making quietness a reason for habitual self-neglect.
