"Many people are wise and resourceful, but many people gather firewood and the flames are high" is a proverb, which probably means that you can't do things alone. You should work together in Qi Xin, have more opinions and have greater "strength" to unite.

Similar proverbs include "one chopstick is easy to break, another chopstick is difficult to break" and "many trees make a forest, and many ropes make a thousand pounds". "A single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom in spring." It means that many hands make light work.

Extended data:

There are many stories that describe that many people are strength, and "Yu Gong Yi Shan" is one of them.

Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain, 700 miles away in Fiona Fang, are seven or eight thousand feet above sea level. They were originally in the south of Jizhou, north of the Yellow River.

There is a man named Gong Yu at the foot of the North Mountain. He is almost 90 years old and lives directly opposite the mountain. He suffers from the traffic jam in the northern part of the mountain area, so he has to make a detour when he comes out or goes in. He called the whole family to discuss and said, "I'll try my best to level the steep mountain with you, so that the road will go all the way to the south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of Hanshui River, okay?" Everyone agreed.

His wife raised a question and said, "With your strength, even Kuifu's mountain can't be leveled. What can you do with Taihang Mountain and Royal Family? " Besides, where are the excavated soil and stones? "They said," throw it on the edge of the Bohai Sea, north of the Tibetan soil. "

So Gong Yu led three children and grandchildren who could carry the burden up the mountain, chiseled stones and dug dirt, and transported them to the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. Neighbor Shi Jing's widow has an orphan, only seven or eight years old, skipping to help him. Winter and summer change seasons, and you can go back and forth once.

The wise man on the bend laughed at the foolish old man and stopped him from doing so, saying, "You are so stupid! With your remaining years and strength, you can't even move a grass on the mountain. What can you do with mud and stones? " Gong Yu of Beishan sighed and said, "Your heart is so stubborn that you can't begin to understand, even orphans and widows can't compare with you. Even if I die, I still have a son; Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; Children and grandchildren are endless, but mountains do not increase. Are you afraid of digging rough? " There is nothing to answer about knowing beans in a meandering river.

The mountain god who caught the snake heard about it, fearing that he would dig endlessly and report to the Emperor of Heaven. The emperor was moved by Yugong's sincerity. He ordered the two sons of Hercules Kwae to move two mountains, one in the east of Shuofang and the other in the south of Yongzhou. From then on, from the south of Jizhou to the south bank of Hanshui River, there was no mountain barrier. ?
