He did not bother about amall matters in personal behaviour and in being an official. He was particular about actual effects and ,although he did not cause a stir ,he could keep the prefecture he governed in perfect order. Because of this. the imperial court transferred him to the central government from being the perfect of the Donghai Prefecture to being a commander in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the local officals. 汲黯是西汉武帝时代⼈，以刚直正义、敢讲真话⽽受⼈尊重。

他为⼈和做官都不拘⼩节，讲求实效。

虽然表⾯上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把⼀个郡治理得井井有条，因此，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——⼀种主管地⽅吏任免的官职。

Once,Emperor Wudi said that he would implement the policy of benevolence and justice of Confucianism and would do good turns to the people.Emperor Wudi Had hardly finished his remards when Ji An said that there was no need for the emperor to say so.Why should the emperor bother,Ji An said, about pretending to implement the policy of benevolence and justice since he was so greedy and avaricious within himself? This choked the emperor off. The emperor suddenly Changed his countenance and declared the meeting over. All the civilian and military officers at court were breathless with anxiety for fear that Ji An might bring disaster upon himself because of this. After returning, Emperor Wudi said to the people around him that Ji An was a little too rude and too straightforward. 有⼀次，汉武帝说要实⾏儒家的仁义之政，为⽼百姓办好事了。
