He is from the State of Chu and has a beautiful pearl, which he intends to sell. In order to get a good price, he tried his best to package the pearls. He felt that with noble packaging, the "identity" of pearls naturally rose.

The Chu people discovered the valuable Mulan, and invited skilled craftsmen to make a box (that is, a bamboo raft) containing pearls. First, they smoked boxes with cinnamon spices. Then, the outside of the box is decorated with jade beads and fragments, decorated with precious red gems, and filled with kingfisher feathers. It looks as delicate as jewelry, and it is really a delicate and beautiful handicraft.

In this way, the Chu people carefully put pearls into boxes and took them to the market to sell.

Soon after arriving at the market, many people gathered around to admire the Chu people's boxes. A Zheng people hold the box in their hands and can't put it down for a long time. Finally, he paid a high price for the Chu people's box. Zheng paid the money and came back with a box. But he came back after a few steps. The Chu people thought that Zheng people regretted returning the goods. Before the Chu people could finish thinking, Zheng people had come to the Chu people. I saw Zheng people take pearls out of the open box and give them to the Chu people, saying, "Sir, you left a pearl in the box. I'll return it to you when I come back." So Zheng gave the pearl to the Chu people, then looked down at the wooden box and went back.

The Chu people stood there awkwardly with the returned pearls. He thought others would appreciate his pearls, but he didn't expect the exquisite outer packaging to exceed the value in the box, so that "a presumptuous guest usurps the host's role" made the Chu people laugh and cry.

2. Anti-autumn negative salary

Wei Wenhou was a wise king in the Warring States Period.

On a trip to Wei Wenhou, I saw a man wearing an inverted fur coat (the fur faced out when the ancients wore fur coats) and walking with firewood on his back. Hou Wen asked him, "Why do you wear fur and firewood backwards?" The man said, "Because I cherish the fur so much that I am afraid it will wear off." Hou Wen said, "Don't you know that if the fur lining is worn, the fur on the fur will lose its support?"

In the second year, Yoichi Higashi brought ten times more money and food than usual, and ministers congratulated him in succession. Hou Wen was worried and said, "This is not a good thing. Just like the man wearing fur and firewood, because he loves fur, he forgets that the lining of fur is more important. At present, the cultivated land in Dongyang has not increased, and the population of ordinary people has not heard of an increase, but the money and grain have increased tenfold, which must have been collected by resorting to the counsel of literati. I'm very upset after hearing this, and I'm worried that the country will be unstable if this continues. Why did you congratulate me? "

3. Encourage the growth of seedlings.

There was a Song man who was worried that his seedlings were not tall, so he pulled them up. He was very tired, but he was still satisfied at the end of the day. He came home and said to his family, "I'm exhausted." I helped the seedlings grow taller! " When his son heard about it, he hurried to the field to see the seedlings, but they all withered.

Few people in the world don't want their seedlings to grow faster! People who give up thinking that seedlings are useless are like lazy people who don't mow the grass. People who help it grow at their own expense, like this one, are not good, but harmful.

4. Wait for the rabbit

According to legend, during the Warring States Period, there was a farmer in Song State who worked at sunrise and stopped at sunset. In good years, just eat and wear warm clothes; In case of famine, you will starve to death. He wants to improve his life, but he is too lazy and timid. He is lazy, afraid of everything and always wants to meet the unexpected wealth delivered to his door. The miracle finally happened. One day in late autumn, he was plowing in the field and there were people hunting around him. The sound of shouting came one after another everywhere, and the frightened little beast ran desperately. Suddenly, a rabbit, impartial, bumped into his field root.

On the same day, he had a delicious meal. After that, he stopped farming. All day, looking at the magical roots, waiting for the miracle to appear.

This story is used to criticize those rigid dogmatic ways of thinking.

Waiting for the rabbit can be a compliment. As long as you master the rules, it is ok to plant a few trees in the path where rabbits must pass and wait for rabbits to hit them. For example, a certain place is the only place where the Japanese army must pass. We just need to be prepared here and wait for the rabbit.

Step 5 carve a boat for a sword

During the Warring States period, there was a man from the State of Chu who was very rigid in his work. He did what was written in the book, and even learned how to do it when others were doing it. He never wanted to make a change.

Once, he passed by the forest and saw a woodcutter chopping wood. Suddenly, the woodcutter was careless. The axe flew out of his hand and fell into the valley. The woodcutter deliberately made a conspicuous mark where the axe fell, and then went down the hill from the path. By comparing the marks on the mountain, he quickly found the axe in the grass. The Chu people worship the woodcutter very much.

This Chu man loves fencing and always carries a sword with him. One day, he crossed the river by ferry. He stood by the boat, and the scenery on both sides of the river was dazzling. When the boat sailed into the river, intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, he accidentally let the sword slide into the river.

I saw him staring at where the sword fell. Others advised him to jump into the river to salvage, but the Truman smiled and shook his head. In front of his eyes, he saw a scene of a woodcutter carving marks. Then he said quietly, "Don't panic! I have my own magical method. "

I saw that he carved a deep mark on the side of the boat where he dropped his sword with a knife and said to himself, "This is where I dropped my sword!" " "When the boat moved on and the boatman stopped, the Truman stood up, took off his clothes calmly and jumped into the water from the mark engraved on the side of the boat. He fished in the water, but couldn't find the sword, so he surfaced and stroked the mark beside the boat, muttering to himself like a sleepwalker, "My sword clearly fell from here, why can't I find it?" "
