釋義：形容好學校，好學生，好老師。
故事： 隋朝末年，有位大儒名王通，學問淵博，各種研究皆有心得。如果他想做官，那是輕而易舉的事. 但是，王通卻無意於仕途，而決心將自己的學問傳授他人，作育英才。於是，他在河汾（位黃河與汾河之間）地方設帳授學。他不但學問好，而且，教學方法也很特殊，因此從遠近各地吸引來求學的學生很多，最多可達千名以上。他致力於教學，經過一個長時間後，從他門下（學校）出來的學生都很有成就，包括房玄齡、魏徵、李靖、程元、竇威、賈瓊、溫大雅、陳叔達等，他們都是一時的“瑜亮”，後來都做了大官或大儒。因此，當時的人都說，“河汾門下” 的學生，沒有一個不出色的，也因此“河汾門下”成了一個可資借用的成語。
用法：張三出身貧寒，可是他的兒孫們都是“河汾門下”，所以說，英雄不怕出身低。
