Give me a peach and a plum.

Give me a peach and give it back to Li. He gave me peaches and I gave him plums in return. The moral of this story is gratitude. Metaphor to give and answer each other, mutual benefit.

From: The Book of Songs: "Give me a peach and give me a plum. He is a boy with horns, a real rainbow boy. "

Allusion: In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius opened the altar to give lectures, which attracted the attention of Chinese people. Yang hu visited Confucius at that time, but Confucius didn't see him. He deliberately left a roast suckling pig and finally got a return visit from Confucius. This is the idea of "reciprocity" advocated by Confucianism at that time. And this idea can be traced back to the source, that is, "give me the peach and give it back to Li." The original intention was that Wei Wugong of the Western Zhou Dynasty was deeply loved by the people and should be regarded as a model for repaying the people. Later generations simply said, "Return the peach to the plum."
