Smelling Chicken Dancing

In the Jin Dynasty, there was a general named Zu Ti. He is a man of great respect, who is tactful, loyal and patriotic.

However, Zu Ti was a naughty boy when he was a child. He doesn't like reading and practicing martial arts. He just likes to play around all day.

When Zu Ti grew up, he saw the decline of the country and fought for years, making life very difficult for the people. However, his strength is meager and his knowledge is shallow, so he can't help anything. In order to change the present situation of the country, Zu Ti began to study hard and learned a wealth of knowledge from books, and made great progress in learning.

Zu Ti often went to Luoyang, the capital at that time, to consult learned people. Everyone who knows him said, "Zu Ti will be the pillar of the country in the future." When Zu Ti was 24 years old, he was recommended to be an official, but he felt that his knowledge was not enough, so he did not agree, but continued to study hard.

Zu Ti has a good friend named Liu Kun. Like Zu Ti, he hopes to pacify the war as soon as possible, make the country strong and let the people live a good life. Every time two people talk about state affairs together, they will unconsciously talk about it very late and rest in the same bed. The next morning, they will practice sword and martial arts together to prepare for serving the motherland in the future.

One night in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the cock crow in his sleep, so he got up and said to Liu Kun, "The cock is waking us up. How about practicing sword now?" Liu Kun readily agreed.

From then on, Zu Ti and Liu Kun agreed to get up and practice sword every day when they heard the cock crow. No matter the wind and rain, no matter the heat and winter, it never stops.

Everything comes to him who waits. After long-term hard practice, Zu Ti and Liu Kun have both become all-rounders in civil and military fields who can write good articles and lead troops to win the battle.

The original meaning of smelling a chicken and dancing is to get up and dance with a sword when you hear a chicken crow. Later, it means that people who are interested in serving their country will get up in time. The classic is from The Book of Jin Zu Ti Biography: It is said that Zu Ti, a general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was very ambitious when he was young. Every time he talked with his friend Liu Kun about the current situation, he was always impassioned and full of indignation. In order to serve the country, as soon as they heard the cock crow in the middle of the night, they got up in clothes, drew their swords and practiced martial arts, and worked hard.
