(It is a metaphor for not understanding that things have developed and changed but still looking at the problem statically.)
There was a Chu man who was wading into the river, and his sword fell from the boat into the water. He quickly signed a contract with his boat and said, "This is where my sword fell from." The boat stopped, and the person who signed the contract entered the water to find it. The boat has moved, but the sword cannot. If you are looking for a sword like this, you are confused!
Meaning: There was a man from Chu who was crossing the river. His sword fell from the boat into the water. He hurriedly carved a mark on the edge of the boat with his knife and said, "This is the place where my sword fell." After the boat stopped, the man went into the water to find the sword from the place where he marked the mark. The ship has moved forward a long way, but the sword will not move forward with the ship. Isn't it confusing to look for the sword like this?

(It is a metaphor for someone who likes something on the surface, but actually does not really like it. It has a derogatory meaning.)
Mr. Ye loves dragons. The carvings in the room all look like dragons. So Tianlong heard about it and came down, peered into the window and trailed behind the hall. When Ye Gong saw it, he abandoned it and ran away, losing his soul and leaving the five gods without a master. Ye Gong is not a dragon, he is like a dragon but not a dragon.
Meaning: Mr. Ye likes dragons very much. There are dragons engraved on the hooks of his clothes and wine vessels, and they are also carved on the carvings and decorations in his room. He was so fond of dragons that he became addicted to dragons. When the real dragon found out about it, he dropped from the sky to Mr. Ye's house. The dragon's head was put on the window sill to visit him, and its tail extended into the hall. When Ye Gong saw that it was a real dragon, he turned around and ran away, his soul out of mind, with a look of panic on his face. From this point of view, Ye Gong does not really like dragons, he only likes things that look like dragons but are not dragons. 2.

'Idiom Story' classical Chinese, translation
5. To hide one's ears and steal the bell Source: Warring States Period? Lu Buwei's "Lü's Spring and Autumn Period? Self-Knowledge" The original text is the death of the Fan family ①, and the common people have those who have the bell ②.
If you want to carry it and walk away ③, the bell will be too big to bear; if you destroy the vertebrae ④, the bell will still have a sound ⑤. Afraid that someone might hear it and take it away from you, cover your ears ⑥.
If evil people hear it, it is okay; if evil people hear it themselves, it is contrary. Translation: When Zhibo was annihilating the Fan family, a man took the opportunity to steal a bell and prepared to run away with it on his back.
However, the bell was too big to carry, so he planned to smash it with a hammer and then carry it again. Unexpectedly, as soon as it was smashed, the bell made a loud noise.
He was afraid that others would hear the bell and take it away, so he hurriedly covered his ears tightly. It is understandable to be afraid that others will hear the sound of the bell; but it is foolish to cover your ears and think that others cannot hear it.

Two of them are the most vicious, one is Zhou Xing and the other is Lai Junchen. They used false accusations, accusations, and inhumane criminal laws to kill many upright civil and military officials and civilians.
On one occasion, a whistleblower letter was delivered to Wu Zetian, the content of which was to accuse Zhou Xing of liaising with others to commit rebellion. Wu Zetian was furious and ordered Lai Junchen to investigate the matter.
Coming to Junchen, he murmured in his heart. He thought that Zhou Xing was a cunning and treacherous person, and it was impossible to make him tell the truth with just an informant letter; but if the result was not found, the Queen Mother I can't bear the blame even if I come to Junchen. What to do? After thinking hard for a long time, I finally came up with a clever idea.
He prepared a sumptuous banquet and invited Zhou Xing to his home. The two of you persuade me to drink and chat while drinking.
After drinking for three rounds, Lai Junchen sighed and said: "Brother, I usually deal with cases, and I often encounter some prisoners who refuse to plead guilty. I wonder what I can do?" Zhou Xing said proudly: "That's not enough. Easy to handle!" He said, picking up the wine glass and taking a sip. Lai Junchen immediately pretended to be very sincere and said: "Oh, please give me some advice quickly."
Zhou Xingyin smiled and said: "You find a big urn, heat it with charcoal fire around it, and then let the prisoner Enter the urn, think about it, what other prisoner will not confess?" Lai Junchen nodded in agreement, then ordered someone to bring a large urn, lit charcoal fire around it as Zhou Xing said, and then turned to face Zhou Xing said: "Someone in the palace has accused you of treason, and I have been ordered to investigate strictly. I'm sorry, please get into the jar now."
When Zhou Xing heard this, the wine glass in his hand clattered. He fell to the ground, then fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing repeatedly and said: "I am guilty, I am guilty, I confess." 7.

Dead lips and cold teeth. Source: Zuo Qiuming's "Zuo Zhuan? The fifth year of Duke Xi". Original text ("Zuo Zhuan? The fifth year of Duke Xi"). The Marquis of Jin resumed his false ways in Yu to attack Guo.
Gong Zhiqi’s admonition said: "Guo is the epitome of Yu. If Guo dies, Yu will follow him. The Jin cannot start, and the bandits cannot play. What can one say? How can it be more? As the saying goes, ' The assistants and chariots are dependent on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, so they are called Yu and Guo."
The Duke said: "Jin is my sect, how can it harm me?" He said to him: "Uncle, Yu Zhong, great king. Zhi Zhaoye, the uncle refused to follow, so he had no heir.
If Guo is destroyed, why love Yu? And if Yu can be close to Huan and Zhuang, how can he love them? What is the crime of the Huan and Zhuang clans? Isn't it just forcing them to kill them? If a person is favored and forced by a relative, he still harms him, how about using the country? "The duke said: "I enjoy the abundance and purity of the sacrifices, and the gods will take possession of me. He replied: "I have heard that ghosts and gods are not real relatives of humans, but only virtue."
Therefore, "Book of Zhou" says: 'Emperor and Heaven have no relatives, only virtue is their assistant. ’ He also said: ‘Millet and millet are not fragrant, but bright virtue is fragrant.
’ He also said: ‘People don’t change things, but they are virtuous. ’ If this is the case, the people will not be harmonious if they are not virtuous, and the gods will not enjoy it.
Feng Yi, who is the god, will be in virtue. If Jin takes over Yu, and Ming De recommends sweet fragrance, will God spit it out? "Fu Ting, Xu Jin envoy.
Gong Zhiqi followed his family's behavior and said: "Yu Bula is not here. If you are here, Jin will not be promoted." "The Marquis of Jin returned to Yu and attacked Guo.
Gong Zhiqi admonished: "Guo, Yu is the representative of Guo. If Guo dies, Yu will follow him. The Jin Dynasty cannot be conquered, and the invaders cannot be allowed to play with each other. If one thing is too great, how can it be repeated? As the proverb says, "The auxiliary chariots are dependent on each other, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold." This is also called Yu and Guo. "
3. The source of "Looking at Plum Blossoms to Quench Thirst" in the Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Yiqing's "Shishuoxinyu? False Jue": Original text: When Wei Wu was on a campaign, he lost his way, and all the troops were thirsty, so he ordered: "There is a big plum forest in front of you.

It is a metaphor for failing to imitate, but losing one's original strengths. Once upon a time, a man learned how to walk in Handan, and the result was not only I didn't learn how to walk like the Handan people, and I forgot how I walked before, so I had to crawl home.

[Edit this paragraph] Chapter 101 of "Qilu Deng" by Li Luyuan of Qing Dynasty: "Sheng Xiyuan said: 'Yes~, have you lost your old ways? '" The Shangshu was drunk with half an arm, and the golden hairpins behind the screen were all beautiful, and they all bowed their heads~.

[Edit this paragraph] Newly edited story It is said that two thousand years ago, there was a young man in the Shouling area of ??Yan State. If you don’t know what his last name was, let’s call him the Shouling boy! This young man from Shouling has no worries about food and clothing, and he can be considered a middle-aged man in terms of appearance. However, he lacks self-confidence and often feels inferior to others for no reason. The clothes belong to others, and the food belongs to others. It smells good, and the way you stand and sit is also elegant. He learns everything he sees, and throws away the same things he learns. Although he tries new tricks, he still can't do one thing well, and he doesn't know what he should look like.
His family members advised him to correct this problem. He thought it was because his family members were too involved. Relatives and neighbors said that he was a bully and a stick, but he wouldn't listen at all.
As time went by, he actually doubted whether he should walk like this. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that his walking posture was too stupid and ugly. One day, he met a few people chatting and laughing on the road, and he only heard some people say that the way Handan people walk is beautiful.
When he heard this, he felt worried and hurriedly stepped forward to find out more. Unexpectedly, when those people saw him, they laughed and walked away.
How beautiful is the walking posture of Handan people? He couldn't imagine it. This became his obsession.
Finally one day, without telling his family, he went to distant Handan to learn to walk. As soon as he arrived in Handan, he felt that everything was fresh and dazzling.
When he sees a child walking, he feels lively and beautiful, and he learns from it; when he sees an old man walking, he feels steady, and he learns from it; when he sees a woman walking, swaying in various ways, he learns from it. Just like that, it was only half a month later, he couldn't even walk anymore, and all his travel expenses were spent, so he had to crawl back.
The story comes from "Zhuangzi Autumn Waters". The idiom "Learning in Handan" refers to imitating others mechanically. Not only will you fail to learn from others' strengths, but you will also lose your own strengths and abilities.
[Edit this paragraph] Tips: It is affirmative to be diligent in learning from others, but you must proceed from your own reality, learn from others' strengths, and make up for your own shortcomings. If, like the Shouling people of Yan State, you blindly despise yourself and blindly worship others, copying them mechanically and following suit, the result will be that you have not learned the strengths of others and lost all of your own.

[Philosophical Commentary]
The ridiculous behavior of the Chu people in the story violates the basic principles of the relationship between matter and motion in philosophy. Dialectical materialism believes that motion is the fundamental attribute of matter and the way of existence of matter.
In other words, the entire universe is in perpetual motion, and matter that does not move does not exist. Specifically, from the macro world to the micro world, from the inorganic world to the organic world, from human society to the realm of thinking, there is movement, change and development. It is wrong to talk about movement without material or to talk about material without movement. Although the Chu people in the article saw the objective existence of boats, water, and swords, they ignored and denied their movement. This is a metaphysical error in talking about matter without movement.

Comments
This story vividly illustrates that there are many things in the world that seem powerful and scary, but in fact there is nothing scary. This shows that the revolutionary people should not be intimidated by seemingly powerful enemies, but should fully remember their own strength, dare to fight, be good at fighting, and win victory.
