The Taiping lyrics "Snipe and Clam Fight" tells the story of a snipe and a clam that restrain each other and refuse to give in to each other, but allow fishermen to profit from it. It warns people to weigh the pros and cons when doing things, and not just think about the right. On your own advantageous side, you must be humble to each other, take a step back, and the world is brighter. Blindly suppressing each other will often focus on one thing at the expense of the other, allowing others to take advantage of the loopholes.

The story is as follows:

A river clam came out of the water to bask in the sun. A snipe pecked its flesh. The river clam closed and clamped the snipe's mouth. The snipe said: 'If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, there will be dead clams. ’ The river clam also said to the snipe: ‘Today you can’t get out of your mouth, and tomorrow if you can’t get out of your mouth, there will be a dead snipe. ’ The two refused to give up each other, so a fisherman caught them both.

The lyrics of the conflict between snipe and clam are as follows:

It was cloudy in the first month and the Weishui River was cold, and the river clams that came out of the water were basking on the beach

Having fallen halfway in the air Osprey, tighten its wings and pull its feathers downward

The eagle's flesh was unbearably painful when it skewered the clam. The clam clamped its beak between its wings and fanned it

A fisherman came from the south. A fisherman came to the shore

He said that he was so happy that he caught clams and drank them, and exchanged them for money

A snipe and an eagle shed sad tears and screamed. The river clam wants you to listen

If I had known that I had fallen into the hands of fishermen, it would be better for you to return to the sea and me to the mountains

You return to the sea to drink the water from the sky, and I to go to the mountains to be happy

This is like a snipe and a clam fighting for the fisherman's profit. It is easier for you to put your head forward than it is for you to turn back.
