《马客卿 - Ma Keqing 》 | English translation: AI and Chinese Text Project users [?] | Library Resources |
| 1 | 马客卿: | 马援子客卿，幼而歧嶷，年六岁，能应接诸公，专对宾客。尝有死罪亡命者来过，客卿逃匿不令人知。外若讷而内沉敏。援甚奇之，以为将相器，故以客卿字焉。 |
| Ma Yuan's son Keqing was precocious from an early age; at the age of six, he could entertain officials and respond to guests on his own. Once, when a fugitive who had committed a capital offense passed through their area, Keqing fled and hid without letting anyone know. He appeared outwardly reserved but was inwardly calm and perceptive. Ma Yuan found him extremely remarkable, believing he possessed the potential of a general or minister, which is why he gave him the courtesy name Keqing. |
