Many thinkers and countless schools of thought(諸子百家)

During the Han dynasty in China, there was a renowned minister and writer named Jia Yi. Although his life was short, he made significant contributions to the development of various systems within the dynasty.

He was extremely intelligent and hard-working. He loved reading and read a wide variety of books in great quantities. His thirst for knowledge was immense, and he would read any book he could find.

By the age of 18, he had become a renowned scholar thanks to his extensive reading. He was famous in his hometown, and the local governor recruited him to work in the government. With his help, the governance of his prefecture became the best in China at that time.

At the age of 22, he joined the central government of the Han dynasty. Due to his extensive knowledge of many thinkers and  countless schools of thought, many of which he had mastered to a high degree, the king held him in high regard and appointed him to a position overseeing books, classics, and academic instruction. He performed exceptionally well in this role, surpassing the knowledge and scholarship of the older officials already in the position.

The king greatly favored and trusted Jia Yi, who was also extremely loyal to the country. Drawing upon numerous historical materials, Jia Yi offered the king many suggestions relevant to the current situation of the Han Dynasty regarding calendars, clothing, legal systems, etiquette and music. The king happily accepted his suggestions and actively implemented them.

Seeing Jia Yi's high standing, several prominent ministers and scholars became extremely jealous and began to slander him before the king.

As many of the ministers spoke ill of Jia Yi, the king gradually changed his attitude towards him. Several months later, the king transferred Jia Yi away from the central government, sending him to a city far from the capital in present-day China, where he lived for over a year.

During this time, the king realized that he had believed the rumours and ordered Jia Yi to be recalled. Jia Yi thus regained the king's trust.

This idiom translates as "many thinkers and countless schools of thought".
