Q: Why people called Wang Anshi ”the bull-headed premier” and how did he treat to the man who differed from him?
A: Because Wang Anshi was impractical and terribly stubborn that was unable to take other advice and unwilling to admit a mistake.
? ? ?He alienated the good old ministers and his best friends, dismissed officials who disagreed with his policies form their post and promoted unknown and unqualified men who agreed with him but used him for their own purposes at the same time. He gave up the tradition of ancestors by cashiering censors who fought for their freedom of criticism, which is necessary for the emperor to know the public opinion and make true decisions.

第一句話的中文義“大概是開山鼻祖，后生都要以此為榜樣”的意思，自己絕對想不到這么說，甚至不會想著一句話里可以表達這么多層意思。后面一句A+倍數(shù)+the number of B，作為一個句型，自己寫作的時候可以借鑒。
2. Wang anshih had therefore begun to dislike Szema Kuang as opposed to his policies.
這句話有兩個地方很有意思。一個是現(xiàn)在完成時的運用，還有as后面直接跟了形容詞。
3. Quoting Confucius, he said…
我們說會用As Confucius said. 不如quoting這個詞簡單，也更精準(zhǔn)。
