子顺 / Zi Shun

子顺 / Zi Shun enters the wiki through 《资治通鉴·秦纪》101-1｜这位倒霉君王登基三天即猝死 in a discussion with 魏安釐王 about whether the world has genuine high-minded士. When Wei Anxi Wang says 鲁仲连 seems too performative, Zi Shun answers that people are all somewhat performative; if they keep practicing that way, they can become gentlemen.

The episode uses Zi Shun less as an independent biographical subject than as a voice for 修养内化. His point converts “做作” from simple hypocrisy into a developmental possibility: repeated conduct can become habit, and habit can become character.
