What is the earliest story to tell?
The earliest story of "forgive others" is about playing chess.

According to legend, during the Warring States period, there was a chess player named "Yang Suishan". When playing chess with others, he always leaves some opportunities for his opponent so that he will not be defeated. Someone asked him why he did this, and he replied, "We should forgive others." This sentence became a famous saying handed down later, expressing the idea of tolerance and forbearance.

"Be lenient with others, be lenient with others" means that a person should be tolerant and generous, take the initiative to make concessions when it is time to make concessions, leave room for others and do nothing. In fact, this sentence comes from Yu Wenbao's "Tuyu Collection": "There is a Taoist chess game in Baoxin County, Cai Zhou, which often forgives people first. His poem says:' Those who come out of the cave are invincible, but they can forgive others.' "

This sentence tells people to be tolerant and generous, leave room for your opponent, and don't do everything. In martial arts movies, when two people compete to decide the outcome quickly, others often say the line "forgive others, forgive others" to those who have the upper hand. In real life, many friends will also take "be lenient with others, be lenient with others" as their creed.
