廉泉让水 lián quán ràng shuǐ
　　【释义】：原比喻为官廉洁，后也比喻风土习俗淳美。
　　【出处】：《南史·胡谐之传》：“帝言次及广州贪泉，因问柏年：‘卿州复有此水不？’答曰：‘梁州唯有文川、武乡、廉泉、让水。’”
　　【事例】：～，幸被孤寒，弱榇残魂，家山可望，仁者之心庶几远矣。 ★俞平伯《人生不过如此·为何经海募款启》
　　【故事】：南北朝时，宋明帝年间（465—471年），梁州辖今陕南、四川、黔北等广大地区，州治南郑（今汉中汉台）。一次梁州州将刘亮派范柏年[据《南齐书》载，范柏年，梓潼（今四川梓潼）人。]进京觐帝咨事。来到京城后明帝与他闲谈时，戏问范：“爱卿，广州有水名曰贪泉，据说那里出的贪官均与饮此水有关，此事你可听说没有？”关于广州贪泉史书上有这样的记载。晋时，广州石门有一奇泉，谁饮了此泉之水，就会视钱如命，贪得无厌，故人称“贪泉”。那时广州弊政猖獗，均传与此有关。后来朝廷命吴隐之出任广州刺史，让他除弊兴利。吴到广州首先喝了贪泉之水，并说：“为官贪廉与泉水何干？”同时呤诗一首言志：“古人云此水，一歃怀千金。试使夷齐饮，终当不变心。”意思是说前人道饮了贪泉之水就会思念千金之财。如果让伯夷、叔齐这样的清廉者饮用，他们是绝对不会变得道德沦丧的。吴任职期间，从严治吏，为官廉洁，广州风清弊绝。明帝不等范思索，又一语双关地问道：“梁州是否有这种地名？”范稍加考虑而答：“圣上明察，梁州唯有廉泉、让水、文川、武乡。”廉泉、让水为古水名。前者为今南郑县濂水，后者为今汉台区武乡镇。明帝再问：“爱卿宅居何处？”范答：“卑臣寒舍居于廉、让之间。”范柏年巧妙对答无懈可击，既说明他任职之地民风淳朴、人性谦逊，又暗示自己为政清廉，不事权贵，受到梁州人民称赞。这就是“廉泉让水”典故出处。此后，逐渐约定成俗，“廉泉让水”作为风尚朴实的褒词。人们又常用廉泉让水来赞美一方人才荟萃、节俭礼仪成风。清代诗人黄作柽曾有《廉泉让水歌》一首，后几句为：“世风习贪诈，溪壑嗟难填。渴害心为害，尘襟谁涤涧？我愿来此地，卜居远市廛。置身廉让间，仰企范柏年。”诗人对世风日下，贪诈横溢，私欲难涤发出愤叹，愿效法范氏超脱污浊，置身清廉。几年前，汉中博物馆西大门外贴有引典故引伸而来的楹联：“文川武乡英雄地，让水廉泉礼仪邦”，在此典故诞生地悬贴这幅楹联，用来赞美汉中人才济济，民风淳朴，可谓意味深长。
