Heshang Gong sat while receiving Emperor Wen of Han; (In the Liexian zhuan, Emperor Wen of Han loved the Way and virtue, and once sent an envoy to inquire about its meaning from Heshang Gong. The Gong said: 'The Way is lofty and virtue is noble; they cannot be heard from afar.' Later the emperor personally visited his hermitage, and Heshang Gong remained seated while granting him an audience.)
