Gong said,' The wooden heart is not straight, and the pulse is evil. Although the bow moves, it is not straight.' I began to realize that distinguishing people is not refined. I set a square with my bow and arrow, but I haven't finished my knowledge yet. Besides, I can travel all over Zhihu? "Is to make kyou-kan more introspective than five products, ask people's sufferings, ask political gains and losses.

The emperor said to Xiao Yu, Prince of Shao Shi, "When I was a child, I liked bows and arrows. I had a dozen good bows. I thought there was nothing better than these. Recently, I showed them to the bow maker, but the craftsman said, "None of them are good bows. "I asked him why. He said: "the grain of wood is not straight, and the arrow can't be straight." "I realized that familiar things can't tell good from bad. I ride with a bow, pacify the quartet and unify the world.
