"The Book of Shang Jun: The Law of War" "The king's soldiers win without arrogance, and lose without resentment"
"Han Shu·Wei Xiangzhuan": "Rely on the country. Those who are so big and jealous of the people and want to be powerful to the enemy are called arrogant soldiers, and those who are arrogant will be destroyed." "The Story of the West Lake·Santai Dream Trail": "If you don't follow the path first, you will have ambition. If you are full of arrogance, you will have the tendency to drive deep, so you must take precautions against it."
If you are ambitious, you should be careful when speaking
"Poetry·Xiaoya·Jiao Gong"" "No one is willing to leave a legacy." Han Zhengxuan's note: "If the current king does not inspire the villain's heart with good governance, he will not be willing to be humble and polite, put others before himself, and use this place to avoid his arrogance." Su Su of the Song Dynasty. Volume 1 of Zhe's "Longchuan Farewell": "Modestity is considered virtuous at the top, and arrogance is considered high at the bottom."
