Daozu refers to knives and chopping boards. Refers to the person who has the initiative. The literal meaning of this sentence is that others are knives and chopping boards, our fish and meat.

This idiom allusion comes from "Historical Records: The Benji of Xiang Yu". The original sentence is: Fan Kuai said: "A big business does not care about the details, and a big gift does not hesitate to make small concessions. Nowadays, people are like swordsmen, and I am like fish and meat. Why should I say this?" ." Later evolved into the idiom "I am a fish and meat for others."

When Chu and Han were fighting, Xiang Yu stationed 400,000 troops at Xinfenghongmen, and his counselor Fan Zeng planned to get rid of Liu Bang. Liu Bang went to the Hongmen Banquet as scheduled, and Fan Zeng asked Xiang Zhuang to perform a sword dance to entertain him, intending to kill Liu Bang. Zhang Liang called Fan Kuai, and Liu Bang took the opportunity to go to the toilet to discuss how to escape with Fan Kuai. Fan Kuai said: "Nowadays, people are just swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, so what should I do?"

Xiang Yu followed Fan Zeng's plan and He held a banquet in Hongmen to entertain Liu Bang, intending to get rid of him.

At the Hongmen Banquet, Fan Zeng winked at Xiang Yu many times and asked him to kill Liu Bang, but Xiang Yu could not make up his mind. So Fan Zeng found Xiang Yu's cousin Xiang Zhuang and asked him to pretend to dance with a sword at the banquet and take the opportunity to kill Liu Bang. Xiang Zhuang acted according to his plan. Xiang Bo saw Xiang Zhuang's true intention and picked up a sword to dance with him to protect Liu Bang.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Liang ran outside and told Fan Kuai about the situation inside. Fan Kuai hurriedly entered the camp with a sword and shield to protect Liu Bang. Xiang Yu asked who this was, and Zhang Liang said he was Liu Bang's driver. Xiang Yu saw that Fan Kuai was a strong man, so he rewarded him with a raw elbow and a bottle of wine. Fan Kuai took the opportunity to use grumbling words to explain that Liu Bang had no intention of becoming king. Xiang Yu had nothing to say.

After a while, Zhang Liang asked Liu Bang to pretend to go to the toilet and escape from the alley. Liu Bang asked if he wanted to say goodbye. So Fan Kuai said the above words.

It means it’s time, why say goodbye?
