中國成語故事傳說：公私分明

Jie Hu's personal enemy thought that Jie Hu did not hate him any more after he had heard that Jie Hu had recommended himself. So he went to Jie Hu's mansion and was about to seek reconciliation with him.

But out of his expectation, Jie Hu pulled the bow pointing the arrow at him and said, "I recommended you for the sake of national interests, because you are the right person for the post. Although you are my personal enemy, I would not let that affect your serving the country, and harm the national interests. Personally, I still hate you. Go away from my house!"

解狐的仇人得知自己被趙簡子重用是因為解狐的推薦后，認為解狐已經消除了對自己的怨恨，便來到解狐的府上，準備和好。

不料，解狐卻拉開弓，瞄準了他，說：“我推薦你是為了國家，因為你適合擔當這個職務。和你有仇是我個人的事。我不會用私仇來妨礙你為國效力，耽誤國家的大事。就我個人而言，我依然恨你，請你立即離開我家門口。”
