Its origin is:

the art of war

There is another allusion to this sentence:

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars were frequent in various countries, and a father took his son to war. At that time, my father was already a general, and my son was still a soldier.

Before the war, the father called his son to his side and picked up an quiver with an arrow in it. He solemnly said to his son, "This is a family heirloom. As long as you wear it with you, it will be infinitely powerful, but you must never take it out. " When my son saw it, it was really a beautiful quiver, made of cowhide and edged with gold and copper. When he looked at the exposed arrow tail, he could see at a glance that it was made of fine feathers. His son was overjoyed, fantasizing about the shape of the arrow and its body, as if he had seen the scene of the arrow swishing into the enemy camp and the opposing coach falling down.

Sure enough, after the war, the son wearing Baojian was extremely brave and won the title of the three armed forces. When the golden bell of retreat sounded, the overexcited son could no longer resist the temptation and forgot his father's entrustment. Driven by a strong desire, he pulled out his treasure arrow with a shout and wanted to see the mystery. However, for an instant, he was shocked. There was a broken arrow in the quiver.

"It turns out that I have been fighting with an arrow on my back", and my son's will collapsed instantly. During the war, he died tragically in chaos.

Why did he die in battle? He was defeated by his own will. Will can sometimes control the outcome of war. Once you go to war with the enemy, you must be completely distracted and concentrate on winning, not happy or embarrassed. He who has a thunder in his chest and a flat face can worship the general. This is a great will and a great spirit.

The veteran taught his son the standard of "being a general", but his son regarded success or failure as the standard of a soldier, which was the reason for his death.
