One day, Shang Yang put a thin wooden pole (木杆) near the south gate of the Qin capital. He promised to pay 10 gold pieces to anyone who could move it to the north gate. It was such a simple job that all people thought Shang was joking. Then he added 40 more gold pieces. A man moved it and he really got 50 gold pieces. After that, the people of Qin believed Shang was a man of his word. So they all trusted (信任) him and followed Shang's new laws later.

Yu Boya was good at playing qin(琴). One day when he was playing the music that described green mountains and clear water, a man called Zhong Ziqi said, “I seem to see high mountains and running water while listening to your music.” Boya knew he found a good friend who really understood him. Unluckily, Boya couldn't meet Ziqi any more after that because Ziqi had died of an illness. Boya was so sad that he broke the qin and never played it again.
