The disease is only on the surface of the skin. Treat it quickly and it will be easy to cure." Cai Huanhou said disapprovingly: "I am not sick, so you don't need to treat me!" After Bian Que left, Cai Huanhou said to his surroundings: "These doctors want to treat people who are not sick all day long, so that they can use this method to prove their medical skills." Ten days later, Bian Que went to visit Cai Huanhou again. He said anxiously: "Your disease has developed into the muscles. You must treat it as soon as possible!" Cai Huanhou tilted his head: "I am not sick at all! You can leave!" After Bian Que left, Cai Huanhou was very unhappy. . Ten days later, Bian Que went to visit Cai Huanhou again. He looked at Cai Huanhou's complexion and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, your illness has entered the intestines and stomach, we can't delay it any longer!" Cai Huanhou shook his head repeatedly: "What the hell, where did I get this disease!" After Bian Que left, Cai Huanhou Even more unhappy. Ten days later, Bian Que visited Cai Huanhou again. He only glanced at it, turned around and left. Marquis Huan of Cai was very puzzled, so he sent someone to ask Bian Que: "Why did you turn around and leave when you went to visit the king?" Bian Que said: "Don't be afraid if you are sick. As long as you are treated in time, ordinary diseases will slowly get better. If you are afraid, you will get better. If the disease is in the skin, you can use hot compresses; if the disease is in the muscles, you can use acupuncture; if the disease is in the intestines and stomach, you can take decoction. However, now the king's disease has penetrated deep into the bone marrow. When my illness reaches this level, I can only leave it to fate, so I don’t dare to ask for treatment for your Majesty anymore.” Sure enough, five days later, Cai Huanhou’s illness suddenly broke out. He sent people to invite Bian Que quickly, but Bian Que had already gone to another country. Within a few days, Cai Huanhou died of illness.

Monkeys are carved on the tips of thorns.
The King of Yan posted notices everywhere, seeking skilled craftsmen with special skills. A Weiguo man came to apply, claiming that he could carve vivid monkeys on the thorns of thorns.
King Yan was very happy when he heard that he had such outstanding skills, and immediately gave him extremely generous treatment and supported him. After a few days, King Yan wanted to see the artistic treasures carved by this skillful craftsman. The Weiguo man said: "If the monarch wants to see it, he must comply with my two conditions: first, he will not enter the harem to have fun with his concubines within half a year; second, he will not drink alcohol or eat meat. Then choose a day with rainy weather and sunrise. , in the half-dark light, you can see the monkey I carved on the thorn tip." When King Yan heard these conditions, he could not comply with them, so he could only continue to support this Weiguo man with rich clothes and fine food. Palace, but never had the opportunity to appreciate the treasures he carved. A blacksmith in the palace heard this and couldn't help laughing secretly. He said to King Yan: "I specialize in making knives. Everyone knows that even the smallest carvings can be carved with a carving knife. Therefore, the carved things must be larger than the blade of the carving knife. If The point of the thorn is too thin to accommodate the smallest blade, so it cannot be carved on it. Please check the craftsman's knife and you will know whether what he said is true or false." When the king heard this, he was astonished. When he woke up, he immediately found the Weiguo man and asked: "What tool did you use to carve the monkey on the thorn point?" The Weiguo man replied: "The carving knife." King Yan said: "Please carve your monkey." Show me the carving knife." When the people of Wei heard this, they panicked, and on the pretext of going to their residence to get the carving knife, they slipped out of the palace gate and ran away.

Bullshit and lies, no matter how cleverly crafted, cannot withstand serious inspection and careful analysis. According to this fable, people often call lies "the story of the thorn." It should be noted that the bragging of the Wei people in the story should be distinguished from today's miniature carving art. With the development of the times and the advancement of technology, people can carve on hair with extremely fine knives, magnifying glasses, and microscopes. But one or two thousand years ago, people's skills could not reach such a high level. The analysis and judgment of the blacksmith in the story was based on the level at that time.

Cut the pole and enter the city
A man from the state of Lu entered the city carrying a thick and long bamboo root. When he arrived at the city gate, he held the bamboo upright and was stuck by the city gate. He held the bamboo horizontally and got stuck by the city walls on both sides. He struggled for a long time and was panting from exhaustion, but he still couldn't enter the city. There was an old man watching and enjoying himself: "You are such a big idiot! You only have one string in your head! At my age, I have crossed more bridges than you have walked. Why don't you ask for advice?" What about me?" The moso bamboo seller quickly bowed to him and said, "Please give me some advice!" The old man stroked his white beard and said, "It's easy just to cut the moso bamboo into two pieces. "It's useless if the moso bamboo is cut." "That's better than being stuck outside the city!" The man who sold the moso bamboo borrowed a saw, cut the moso bamboo and took it into the city.
[Tip]
If the person selling moso bamboo is stupid and ridiculous, then the old man with a white beard who likes to show off his seniority and lecture others is even more stupid. Some "veterans" always like to act according to old experience and old rules. They are not good at flexibly considering very simple or even common sense issues based on the actual situation. As a result, they come up with many bad ideas.
[Original text]
There was a man from Lu holding a long pole to enter the city gate ①. At first he held it firmly and could not enter; if he held it sideways, he could not enter. Nothing comes out of the plan. An old father arrived and said, "I'm not a saint, but I've seen a lot of things! Why not cut it in with a saw?" So he cut it off.

Golden hook and osmanthus bait
There was a man in the state of Lu who liked to show off. Fishing was one of his hobbies. He used gold to make fish hooks, which were inlaid with bright silver threads and green gems as decorations; he used emerald bird feathers to twist into thin threads, and used fragrant cinnamon wood as bait. His fishing rod was of the highest quality, and he was very particular about the position and posture he took when fishing, but he caught very few fish.
[Tips]
Be practical when doing things. One-sided pursuit of form can only achieve the opposite effect. The man fishing with golden hook and osmanthus bait in this fable provides us with a very vivid example.
[Original text]
There is a good fisherman in the Lu people ① who uses osmanthus as bait ② and forges gold hooks, and mistakenly uses silver and jade ③ to hang emeralds ④. The position where he holds the pole is ⑤, but he doesn't catch many fish ⑥.
