The classic story of playing tricks on a classmate

The classic story of Banmenmanjiajiao is as follows:

Lu Ban was a skilled craftsman during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Until now, people still say that Lu Ban is the ancestor of carpenters. At that time, there was a craftsman named Shi, people called him Carpenter Shi. He was from Yingdu, the capital of Chu State. His ability was said to be on par with Lu Ban.

How high is his ability? It is said that this craftsman has a good friend, and the two often perform together. This friend applied a thin layer of white ash on the tip of his nose. The craftsman held an ax in his hand and looked at the tip of his nose. With a "swish", he used the ax to sweep away the white ash on the tip of his nose, even his nose. You can't even scratch the sharp skin.

This shows how capable he is. So later Liu Zongyuan said that if someone dared to play with an ax in front of the craftsmen's stone gates in Luban and Yingdu, it would be a bit overestimating their own capabilities.

The meaning of doing what you do best:

This idiom tells people to learn to be humble and not to show off their skills in front of others, otherwise they are likely to do what they do and make others laugh. People often say: "The blue is better than the blue." This is an ordinary motto, but it contains profound truth, which is a matter of inheritance and development.

Old things are the basis for the development of new things, and new things are the result of the development of old things. The two are closely related and serve as a link between the past and the future. It is not advisable to stick to the rules, nor is it advisable to drink water without a source. In everything, we should humbly seek advice from our predecessors, and it is only reasonable to seek development and innovation on this basis. To emphasize any aspect alone is one-sided.

A person who has learned a little something and has a little ability must not be arrogant or arrogant. This will only blind the eyes and stop moving forward, stopping at the level of "half a bucket of water". Of course, it will not On the contrary, if a person, especially a young person, belittles himself, is submissive, is afraid of failure and humiliation, and dare not practice, he will definitely not achieve anything.

It can be seen that only by being modest and prudent, but also daring to explore and climb, can we surpass one glorious career milestone after another. Science is something that both avoids any arrogance and hates the hypocrisy and shyness of "holding the pipa half-hiding".
