"You can worship the general" Allusion:

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a father and his son went off to fight. The father is a general, and the son is just a pawn.

The war drums thundered, and the father picked up the quiver and said to his son: "This is a treasured arrow. It has infinite power when you carry it with you, but you must not draw it out."

Then. It is an extremely exquisite quiver, and one can tell at a glance that it is made of fine peacock feathers. The son's eyebrows were filled with joy, and he greedily speculated on the shape of the arrow shaft and arrowhead. The sound of arrows seemed to be whizzing past his ears. The enemy's commander broke off his horse and died. Sure enough, the son armed with the treasured arrows was heroic and invincible.

When the horn sounded for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, his son could no longer hold back the pride of victory and completely abandoned his father's instructions. His strong desire drove him to pull out his treasured arrow with a single call and try to see what happened.

After pulling it out, he was shocked to find a broken arrow in the quiver. He felt like a house that had lost its pillars in an instant, and his will suddenly collapsed. As a result, he died tragically among the rebels.

This story implies that the son failed to "go smoothly and not be overjoyed; be rebellious and not be discouraged; be safe and not luxurious; be safe and not be frightened; have thunder in his chest and be like a flat lake", so he failed. A tragic death.
