1. Allusions:

"Liezi·King Mu of Zhou": "The people of Zheng who were employed in the wilderness encountered a frightened deer, so they attacked it and killed it. They were afraid that others would see it. Also, he suddenly hid it among the gods and covered it with bananas. He was very happy and left it in the place where it was hidden. So he thought it was a dream and chanted it along the way. If someone heard it, he would use his words to pick it up. After returning home, he told his family: "The person who asked for the salary dreamed of finding a deer but didn't know where it was. I found it now, and it was the real dreamer." Later, he used "covering the deer to find bananas" as a metaphor for being confused and confused. Confused or uncertain gains and losses, repeated failures.

In the past, the people of Zheng were cutting firewood in the wild. When they saw an injured deer running towards them, they killed the deer. Worried that the hunters would chase them, they hid the dead deer in a road. In the small ditch, some banana leaves were cut and covered. It was getting dark, and he wanted to find a dead deer to carry home, but unfortunately he couldn't find it. So he had to give up and just pretend that he had the same dream?
