Ouyang Xiu spoke highly of Su Shi's talent. He wrote in his famous book With Mei: When you read a poem, you won't feel sweaty, so hurry up. I should avoid the road and let him out. This is the origin of the idiom "get ahead". Getting ahead originally refers to Su Shi. In the second year of Song Renzong Jiayou (A.D. 1057), the Ministry of Rites presided over the imperial examination, and the examiner was Ouyang Xiu, a literary giant at that time.

Ouyang Xiu read it in one breath, and felt that such a brilliant article should have been written by his student Ceng Gong (the name on the paper was sealed in the Song Dynasty). In order to avoid suspicion, Ouyang Xiu reluctantly gave up what one favours and rated this article as the second.

Idiom implication

"Survival of the fittest, natural selection" is an eternal truth in nature. In human society, this truth should also be believed. Therefore, everyone should strive to be a capable person. Once upon a time, Yue Fei's mother tattooed on her son's back the words "loyal to the country", just for Yue Fei to get ahead; Is to make my son realize that he is working hard for the future.

In fact, people around people hope that people can make a difference and get ahead. And everyone has a dream. People's dreams will be transformed into motivation, inspiring people to work hard and achieve something.
