According to this story, the behavior of asking for something without recommendation or invitation is called "voluntary recommendation". Now people often use it as a metaphor for self-recommendation.
Every bush and every tree seems to be enemies-in a state of extreme panic.
This idiom comes from the Book of Jin. Fu Jian's notes show that soldiers are elite when they climb the city to see Julian Waghann. Looking north, the vegetation on Bagong Mountain is all human.
In 383 AD, Fu Jian, the former Qin emperor in the north, was basically unified and led 900,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the south. The Eastern Jin Dynasty appointed Xie Shi as the general, Xie Xuan as the pioneer, and led 80,000 soldiers to fight.
After Qin Jun striker Fu Rong captured Shouyang (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province), Fu Shu personally led 8,000 cavalry into the city. He listened to Fu Rong's judgment and thought that Jin soldiers were vulnerable. As long as his follow-up troops arrive, they will surely win a great victory. So he sent a man named Zhu Xu to Xie Shi to surrender.
Zhu Xu was an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. After seeing it, he reported the protection situation and suggested that the Jin army attack (now Dongluo River in Huainan, Anhui Province) before the arrival of the follow-up troops of the former Qin Dynasty. Xie Shi took his advice and sent troops to attack the Qin Jun camp, which won a great victory. Jin Jin occupied Shouyang.
Fu Jian heard that Luo Jian was defeated, and the Jin army was marching towards Shouyang. He was frightened to disgrace, and immediately boarded Shouyang Chengtou with Fu Rong, and personally observed the movement of 8 Jin J across the water. It was the middle of winter and the weather was gloomy. Seen from a distance, the sky above the water is gray. Look carefully, there are many masts and warships, and Jin soldiers are holding knives and halberds. The lineup is very neat. He could not help secretly praising the soldiers of the Jin army for their orderly protection and well-trained.
Then, Fu Jian looked north again. There is Bagong Mountain opposite, and there are eight rolling peaks on the mountain. The terrain is very dangerous. Nomads from the base camp is stationed at the foot of Bagong Mountain. With a northwest wind whistling by, the swaying vegetation on the mountain is moving like countless soldiers. Fu Jian suddenly turned pale and said to Fu Rong in horror, "Nomads from the army are formidable enemies. How can it be said that it is a weak soldier? "
Soon, Fu Jian was tricked by Xie Xuan and ordered the army to retreat a little, so that the Jin soldiers could survive the battle of Feishui. As a result, when Qin Jun retreated, it trampled on itself, escaped and was defeated.
This war is the famous battle of water under your feet in history, and it is a famous war example in history to win more with less and win stronger with weakness.

Sweet food, beautiful clothes, a peaceful life and the custom of enjoying it.
Interpretation means a happy and stable life.
In the Spring and Autumn Period of the story, there was a famous philosopher and thinker. His surname is Li and his name is Er. It is said that when he was born, he had white hair. A little old man with a white beard; So people call him "Lao Zi"; He also said that he was born under a plum tree, so his surname is Li; Because of his big ears, he is called "ears". In fact, Lao Tzu is a respectful name for him. He was always dissatisfied with the reality at that time, opposed the wave of social innovation at that time and wanted to go back. He missed the ancient primitive society and thought that material progress and cultural development destroyed people's simplicity and brought people pain, so he longed for an ideal society of "small country and few people". He always describes his "small country with few people" society like this: the country is small and the population is sparse. Even if there are many electrical appliances, don't use them. Don't let people risk their lives, and don't move far away. Even if there are cars and boats, no one will take them. Even if there are weapons and equipment, there is nowhere to use them. It is necessary for people to re-use the ancient knotting method to record, eat sweetly, dress comfortably and live comfortably, and be satisfied with the original customs and habits. Neighboring countries can see each other. Crows and dogs can hear each other's voices, but people will not communicate with each other until they die of old age.
Keep fighting despite repeated setbacks.
Qiao Xuan, an official in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was dignified and detested evil. Once, a group of robbers tied up his 10-year-old son and brought him to his home, demanding that Qiao Xuan, who was sick, immediately take money to redeem his son, which angered George.

In the autumn of the third year of Emperor Wu's reign, there was a sudden rumor in Chang 'an, the capital city, that there would be a flood, and Chang 'an would be swallowed up by the flood. During the braking time, everyone in Chang 'an was shocked, and everyone helped the old and the young, scrambling to escape.
When the news reached the palace, Emperor Han immediately called officials from the civil and military departments to the palace to discuss countermeasures. Cheng Di's uncle and General Wang Feng also panicked and suggested that Cheng Di and the empress dowager hide in the boat and prepare to evacuate. Ministers also echoed Wang Feng's opinion. Only Prime Minister Sun resolutely opposed it. He believes that the flood can't come suddenly, it must be a rumor, and it can't be easily evacuated at this critical moment, which will only make people more confused. Emperor Cheng adopted the advice of the king. After a while, there was no flood in the city, and the rumors were broken, and the order in the city was slowly restored. After investigation, the rumors are true. Emperor Cheng appreciated the king's ability to promote public opinion. However, Wang Feng thought that it was the king who kept him from stepping down, so he was dissatisfied.
Wang Feng has a relative named Yang Gui, who is the prefect of Langnan. The king wants to punish him because of the poor management of the place under his jurisdiction. Wang Feng personally ran to the king to intercede for Yang Gui and excused him. Wang Shang insisted on the principle and removed Yang from his office. Wang Feng was even more bitter and tried every means to retaliate. So he and his accomplices framed the king. Emperor Han Chengdi finally listened to the rumors and dismissed the post of prime minister of the king.
However, there is a public opinion about right and wrong. Ban Gu, the author of Hanshu, commented on Wang when he wrote a biography: he was honest, fair and unyielding. Such comments are very objective and fair.
Last stand-Fight a life-and-death battle.
Han Xin was born in Huaiyin (now southwest of Qingjiang River in Jiangsu Province). He is a general under Hanwang Liu Bang. In order to defeat Xiang Yu and seize the world, he made a plan for Liu Bang, first occupying Guanzhong, then crossing the Yellow River eastward, defeating and capturing Wei Wangbao who betrayed Liu Bang and obeyed Xiang Yu, and then attacking Zhao Wangxie eastward.
Han Xin's troops will pass through a very narrow mountain pass called Jingxingkou. Li Zuojun, the counselor of the Prince of Zhao, advocated that while blocking the mouth of Jingxing, he sent troops to cut off the grain and grass of the Han army by cutting corners. Without backup, Han Xin's expeditionary force would surely fail. But General Chen Yu refused to listen and insisted on relying on his military superiority to fight the Han army head-on.
Han Xin was very happy when he learned about it. He ordered the troops to camp 30 miles away from Jingxing, let the soldiers have some snacks in the middle of the night, and told them to eat after winning the battle. Later, he sent 2000 Qingqi to sneak forward from the path, and asked them to rush into Zhao's camp quickly after Zhao left the camp and plant the Han flag. Another 10 thousand troops were sent to deliberately row the river to lure Zhao.
At dawn, Han Xin led the army to attack, and the two sides fought fiercely. Soon, the Han army was defeated by the backwater position on the pretence, and all Zhao troops left the camp to pursue. At this time, Han Xin ordered the main attack, and the soldiers who had no retreat turned around and pounced on the enemy. Zhao can't win and is going back to camp. Suddenly, the flag of the Han army was planted in the camp, so he fled in all directions. The Han army pursued the victory and won a total victory.
When celebrating the victory, the generals asked Han Xin, "According to the art of war, an array can carry mountains on its back and water can be in front. Now you want us to queue up for water, and you say we can beat Zhao and have a full meal. We didn't believe it at the time, but we really won. What kind of strategy is this? "
Han Xin said with a smile, "This is something in the art of war, but you didn't notice it. Didn't Sun Tzu's Art of War say,' If you are trapped, you will live; if you stay, you will survive'? If there is a retreat, the soldiers have fled, how can they be desperate! "
This story evolved from the idiom "the last battle", which is mostly used in military actions and can also be used in actions with the nature of "decisive battle".
Despise a journey of a thousand miles.
Source: On Mencius Liang Wang Hui, Mencius meets Liang Wang Hui. The king said, "Support! Will it be good for our country to come all the way? "
Interpretation: "not far away" is also called "not far away", which means not to come to a place thousands of miles away, and is a metaphor for not being afraid of a long journey.
Story: When Liang Wanghui met Mencius, he enthusiastically said, "Sir, you didn't come to Wei from thousands of miles away, so you must have brought benefits to my country."
Mencius replied, "Your Majesty, why do you start talking about profits? Just have benevolence and righteousness. If the king says how to benefit my country, the doctor says how to benefit my fief, and the scholars and people say how to benefit themselves, then it will be dangerous to pursue self-interest from top to bottom. " Then Mencius said: "In a country where 10,000 personnel carriers can be dispatched, it must be a doctor's house that can dispatch 1,000 personnel carriers to murder their monarch;" In a second-class country that can dispatch 1000 personnel carriers, the killer of their monarch must be a doctor's home that can dispatch1000 personnel carriers. Doctors in big countries can get thousands of personnel carriers from countries with thousands of personnel carriers, and doctors in second-class countries can get hundreds of personnel carriers from countries with thousands of personnel carriers. These doctors can't say much about their profession, but they will never be satisfied. So you can't promote your own interests. "
Liang Wanghui was very moved and asked anxiously, "What does that gentleman think should be done?" Mencius said: "People who don't talk about benevolence and righteousness will abandon their parents, and those who don't give alms will disrespect the monarch. Therefore, your majesty, you only need to talk about justice, so why talk about profit? "
The veteran is a good guide.
Source: Han Feizi. In the forest, Guan Zhong and Ji ()' s friends cut solitary bamboo from Huan Gong and returned from spring to winter, confused and lost their way. Guan Zhong said, "The wisdom of an old horse can be used." Is to let the old horse go with it and get the way.
Interpretation: "Tao" road. The old horse is familiar with this road. It means that experienced people are familiar with the situation and can play a guiding role in a certain aspect.
Story: In 663 BC, at the request of Yan State, Qi Huangong sent troops to attack Shanrong, which invaded Yan State. The Prime Minister Guan Zhong and the doctor Peng Ji accompanied him. The Qi army went to war in spring, and it was already winter when they returned home in triumph, and everything changed. The army wandered in the valley of high mountains and mountains, and finally lost its way and could never find its way back; Although many scouts were sent to explore the road, they still couldn't figure out where to get out of the valley. With the passage of time, the supply of troops became difficult. The situation is very critical. If we can't find a way out, the army will be trapped here. Guan Zhong thought for a long time and came up with an idea: since dogs can find their way home far from home, horses in the army, especially old horses, will also have the ability to know the way. So he said to Qi Huangong, "Your Majesty, I think the old horse has the ability to find his way. You can use it to lead the way ahead and lead the army out of the valley. " Qi Huangong agreed to give it a try. Guan Zhong immediately selected several old horses, untied the reins and let them walk freely in front of the army. Strangely, all these old horses did not hesitate to move in the same direction. The army followed them here and there, and finally got out of the valley and found the way back to Qi.
