The `` Hall of Four Wisdoms '' refers to a story concerning Yang Zhen, an official of the Eastern Han Dynasty ( 206 BC - 220 AD ), and known for his erudition as well as moral character. When a man named Wang Mi visited Yang Zhen at night and attempted to bribe him 10 catties of gold, Yang rejected the gift. Wang Mi persevered, saying that nobody would know.
