The moral of the golden cicada shelling

The idiom "golden cicada takes off its shell" inspires us to learn to escape skillfully when encountering difficulties, so that the other party can't find it in time.

"Cicada sheds its shell" means that when it becomes a bug, it will shed its shell.

Now it is often used to mean to muddle through, so that people can't find it in time.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang went out of Qishan six times and made a northern expedition to the Central Plains, but none of them succeeded. During the sixth Northern Expedition, he broke down from overwork and died in Wuzhangyuan.

In order to make the Shu army get away with it, Zhuge Liang gave Jiang Weimi a retreat plan before he died. Jiang Wei obeyed Zhuge Liang's orders. After Zhuge Liang's death, he kept his mouth shut and sealed the news tightly. He took the coffin and secretly led the troops to retreat.
