阎锡山主政山西时,曾邀康有为主持山西省的县长考试。康出的题目是《廉吏民表》,取意于宋朝包拯的《乞不用脏吏疏》。包拯在这篇奏疏中有这样一句:“廉者,民之表也;贪者,民之贼也。”本 When Yan Xishan was in charge of Shanxi, he invited Kang Youwei to preside over the examination for the magistrate in Shanxi Province. Kang's title is “honest Li Min table,” intended to the Song Dynasty Bao Zheng “beg not dirty officials sparse.” Bao Zheng in this play sparse in such a sentence: “cheap, people's watch also; greed, people's thief too.”
