A scholar will die for a confidant, and a woman will look good for someone who pleases her. Source: Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty, "Warring States Policy·Zhao Ceyi"

A scholar will be a confidant. Death, the woman who wanted to please herself came from Yu Rang, one of the great assassins of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei destroyed the Zhi family. In order to avenge Zhi Bo, Yu Rang went to the toilet on a bridge and swallowed charcoal to paint his body many times. He assassinated Zhao Xiangzi and finally committed suicide, leaving behind the everlasting saying that "a scholar dies for a confidant, and a woman looks good for one who pleases herself".

The word is interpreted as: Men are willing to devote themselves to people who appreciate and understand themselves, and women are willing to dress up carefully for people who appreciate and like themselves.

"Warring States Policy·Zhao Ceyi"

Yurang, the grandson of Biyang in Jin Dynasty, started to work for the Xing family in Fan Zhong without saying anything about it. He left and went to Zhibo, who favored him. When the Three Jin Dynasties were divided into the Zhi family, Zhao Xiangzi resented Zhibo the most and used his head as a drinking vessel. Yu Rang fled into the mountains and said, "Oh! A scholar will die for someone who knows him, and a woman will look good for someone who likes her. I will avenge the Zhi family."
