Han Xin, the great general who helped Emperor Gaozu paint the world, was in a very difficult situation without success.
At that time, he often fished at the gate, hoping to solve his life with good luck. However, this is not a reliable way after all, and we should always be hungry.
Fortunately, where he often fishes, there are many floating mothers (old women who clean silk floss or old clothes and old fabrics) working by the river.

This idiom comes from this story. It means: don't forget that even a little help is valuable when you are in trouble, although you get little benefit; When we have the ability, it is natural to reward those who do human feelings.
When we use this idiom, we must thoroughly understand its meaning. First of all, a sincere and helpful person will never want anything in return. Second, the relief of the rich to the poor is a donation. Even if the poor really succeeded in repaying him one day, it could not be called "a meal of gold". Third, the most valuable thing is to help others out of love and sympathy under very difficult circumstances. In the eyes of others, such help is really a "meal" worth thousands of yuan.

When he was a common people, he was poor and had bad conduct. He could not be elected as an official and could not make a living by doing business. He often lives in other people's homes for leisure, and most people hate him. I went to the countryside many times to eat Nanchang Tingting's strengths. For several months, Tingting's wife hated him, cooked the meal early in the morning, and put lice on the toilet pole and ate them in bed.
At dinner, Han Xin went, but didn't prepare meals for him. Han Xin also understand their intentions.
In a rage, he left and never came back. Han Xin used to fish at the gate. An old lady who rinsed silk floss by the water's edge saw that he was hungry and brought him food.
Han Xin was very happy and said to the old lady, "I will definitely repay your old man heavily." The old lady said angrily, "a person can't support himself!" " I only gave you food out of sympathy for your son. Is it because I want something in return? ! " .
There is an idiom called "Forgetting the New Year's Eve", which probably means that a dog never forgets the kindness of a meal to solve the kindness of a meal. This idiom comes from Historical Records of Huaiyin Hou Zhuan, which says that "Xin was young and down, and once made an appointment (fishing) at Huaiyin City, and the wandering mother was hungry for several days when she saw the letter", so she gave her food and encouraged Han Xin to make progress. Qin Wei and Han Xin helped Liu Bang win the world, and the king of Chu was blocked. They all lost pi, never forgetting the kindness of their wandering mothers and giving their daughters in return. It's a pity that the wandering mother has passed away, so "increasing the tomb to report to the mother", Han Xin's reception office ordered his subordinates to borrow soil and build this grave.
When Han Xin was young, because of his poor family, he lived a miserable life and suffered "the humiliation of his legs". Han Xin used to live in a pavilion. Tingchang's wife deliberately didn't give him enough will to exercise. One day, Han Xin went fishing outside the city. He was so hungry because he didn't eat three meals. An old woman washing clothes by the river sympathized with him and offered to provide food. Han Xin swore: "I will definitely repay your kindness in the future." Later, Han Xin was named King of Chu by Liu Bang. Back in Huaiyin, he took out his daughter and gave her a "meal". The tomb of the floating mother is located about three miles east of Wharf Town in Huaiyin County, commonly known as Taishan Wharf. In Huaiyin, the Hall of Filial Piety is dedicated to the floating mother in the main hall, which is admired by literati in past dynasties. Liu Changqing, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said in a poem, "It's been a long time since the sage had a meal yesterday. The firewood in the ancient tomb is well known, and the Chu water flows forward. Zhu Ping is a guest, and the cuckoo is worried. Spring grass is green every year, and Wang Sun swims here. " There used to be a water mother temple in Wharf Town. At that time, the ancestral temple was in front of Huaishui, and the mother statue was painted in the temple. On the forehead of the door is written: 1000 dollars equals 1000 dollars. Li Anyun: The name is far away from Huangshi, and the hero is located in Zanhou. Now the ancestral temple has been destroyed and the ancient tomb still exists.
Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote in Notes on Water Classics. Huaishui: "There are two tombs (graves: graves) in the old town of Huaiyin, and the west one floats to the mother's tomb, retreating hundreds of steps every week and being more than ten feet high." Now the tomb is 50 meters in diameter and 20 meters in height, which is still spectacular. There are two stone tablets in the north of the tomb, one of which is1.25m high and 0.6m wide. It was built in the Republic of China 19. The main monument is engraved with the words "tomb of floating mother", and there are attachments to record the deeds of Huaiyin's belief in floating mother. The second monument was erected in the thirty-second year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. In order to protect the tomb, the inscription reads: "Li Xian, Qinghe County, according to the tomb of the drifting mother, is forbidden to borrow soil, and is responsible for the township and its strength. It was held on April 13, the thirty-second year of Guangxu."
According to Notes on Water Classics: "The right bank of Huaishui is Huaiyin, where Han Xin once fished". Diaoyutai in Han Xin is located in Wharf Town, Huaiyin County, Hongze Lake, Jiangsu Province. There are many branches and dense water plants in the lake. It is a breeding ground for freshwater fish and an excellent place for people to hang poles.

Extended data:
The allusions of wandering mothers originated from Historical Records. Biography of Huaiyin Hou. Although Han Xin was brilliant as a teenager, he was not appreciated by others and was not good at planning in business, so he had to rely on others and was abused and despised.

It's very hard and tired. I often crack my hand and I don't make much money.
