1. You are in the North Sea, and I am in the South China Sea, but the wind, horse, and ox are incompatible with each other.

Meaning: You live in the north and we live in the south. Even if the wind blows the cattle and horses away, they will not run into each other's territory.

Application: It means things that are irrelevant and cannot be touched by eight poles. The idiom "The wind, horse and cow are incompatible" comes from here. "Feng Ma Niu Er" has the same meaning. Similar words such as: rambling, far-fetched, far-fetched, irrelevant, etc.

2. Who can resist this mass battle? If we use this to attack a city, what city cannot be defeated?

Meaning: Who can resist using such an army to fight? With such an army to attack a city, which city cannot be conquered?

Application: Expresses strong confidence and pride, and also means to intimidate the other party. This parallelism is very impressive and has been imitated by many later generations. For example, King Luo Bin's "Appreciation for Xu Jingye" said: "If you use this to control the enemy, why can't the enemy be destroyed? If you use this to achieve success, why can't you defeat it?" This is equivalent to the current "mighty division" and "majestic division" ", "Invincible", "Invincible".

3. If you use virtue to sway the princes, who would dare to disobey? If there is a lot of strength, it will be of no use.

Meaning: If you use virtue to appease the princes, who dares to disobey? If you rely on force, no matter how many troops you have, it will be useless.

Application: Expressing the importance of virtue and contempt for force. This sentence is the answer to the previous sentence, but it is also valid and applicable when taken alone. For example, "Mencius Gongsun Chou Part 1": "Those who convince others with strength are not convinced by their hearts, nor can they be supported by their strength. Those who convince others by virtue are happy and sincerely convinced, just like the seventy-year-old disciples who convinced Confucius." This gave rise to two idioms: "To convince people with virtue" and "To convince people with sincerity".
