"Small countries are not humble, weak but not afraid of strength, rude and insulting neighbors, and greedy friends can die." This sentence comes from Han Feizi's Fifteen Death Signs.
This passage has been used by netizens in China-ROK relations, and this sentence is used to compare the positions of the two countries. Of course, China is a peace-loving country. Although we are a big country, we will not have the idea of invading neighboring small countries. However, we can't stand the provocations of some small countries all day.
I hope all countries can coexist peacefully. A big country has the posture of a big country, and your small country should also know the position of a small country. Don't repeatedly challenge the endurance of China people.
South Korea always likes to say that China's traditional culture belongs to them, so I wonder if they have read books on traditional culture like Han Feizi, and have they ever thought about taking it for themselves? It is suggested that Koreans read this book more to clear their heads.
Getting along between countries is a profound knowledge, and many of the truths mentioned by Han Feizi are still practical today. We have to admire the wisdom of our ancestors. No matter how things change, the truth will not change. In fact, "doing everything wrong" is not only the way of governing the country, but also very practical in getting along with people in our real life. Many things are connected, and you can always learn a lot by reading more.
