There was a man named Bian He in the State of Chu. He got a piece of jade from Chushan and gave it to Li, the king of Chu. King Li ordered the jade craftsman to identify it. The jade craftsman looked at it and said, "This is just a stone." King Li was furious, thinking that Bian He was deliberately deceiving him, and ordered Bian He's left foot to be cut off. After Li's death, Bian He presented this stone to the throne. King Wu asked the jade craftsman to identify it, and the jade craftsman said, "This is just a stone." King Wu also thought that Bian He was deliberately deceiving him, so he ordered to cut off his right foot. Then, King Wu died and King Wen succeeded to the throne. Bian He actually held the original stone and cried at the foot of Chushan for three days and three nights. Tears came out and blood cried. When King Wen heard about it, he sent someone to investigate the reason. The man asked him, "Many people in the world have their feet cut off. Why are you the only one crying so sadly? " Bian He replied, "I'm not sad because I lost my feet. I'm sad that the world regards Baoyu as a stone and calls loyal ministers liars. This is why I feel sad! " King Wen listened to the reward and asked the jade craftsman to carve this original stone. Sure enough, he got a priceless jade from this original stone and named it "He".
Original text:
Chu people and their families got the jade pu in Chushan, and presented it to Li Wang for the jade people to see. The jade people said, "Shi Ye." The king regarded harmony as a dead hole, but gouged out his left foot. King Li and King Wu ascended the throne, and King Wu sacrificed his wealth, which made the jade man look at him and say, "Shi Ye." The king thought he was reconciled and cut off his right foot. Qiu and Wen Wang acceded to the throne, and He Nai cried at his feet for three days and nights, followed by blood. Wang Wenzhi, who made people ask him why, said, "There are many gaps in the world, and Zi Xi is sad to cry?" He said, "I'm not sad. I'm sad about Baoyu, but my surname is Shi and my surname is Zhen, so I'm sad." Wang Nai made the jade man take care of its treasures, so he was named the jade of He Shen.

Bian He's crying jade comes from Han Feizi. This article, centered on He Shibi, shows that as long as you stick to the truth, you will be recognized by the world one day. Sticking to the truth will eventually be recognized, and it will harm others. You can't just look at the surface, but dig into the essence of things. At the same time, it also warns people that few people can really understand jade. It takes effort and even a price to convince others of their uniqueness!

His theory has always been the ideological basis for the ruling class in China feudal society to govern the country.
Han Fei wrote Lonely Indignation, Five Criticism, The Theory of Hiding Inside, The Theory of Hiding Outside, The Theory of Forestry and The Difficult Classics, which were collected and compiled into a book Han Feizi by later generations.
Creative background:

Express meaning:
As long as you stick to the truth, you will be recognized by the world one day. Adhere to the truth and finally be recognized; Listen to one thing and believe another, and do harm to others. We should not only look at the surface, but also dig into the essence of things.
Feeling:
Since ancient times, people have been deeply sighing about what happened to Bian He, and deeply angry about the eccentricity of the King of Chu. Bian He's idiom "Crying for Jade" is considered as a whipping to those who are partial to hearing and believing, and a sympathy to the unknown. But thousands of years later, this story doesn't seem to be like this. It seems no accident that Bian He, the man who found Baoyu, was sentenced to death. It can't be attributed to the partiality of the King of Chu, and Bian He himself has an unshirkable responsibility. For Baoyu, he just insisted that "it is Baoyu's understanding." But there is no practical way to prove that it is Baoyu. Dedicated to the king of Chu again and again, just because he firmly believes that "that is Baoyu", but he can't prove it. Therefore, under the trial of incompetent jade artisans, they could not refute and had to accept punishment. This enlightens us that no matter how powerful and effective it is, it can't be shown, and everything is empty talk. Therefore, we should seize every opportunity to express ourselves and show our abilities, so as to be recognized by society and history. However, this kind of performance also needs to be realistic, and we must not blindly mess around. It should be like what Laozi said: "When things are good, they are good." Sun Tzu's Art of War also said: "Vultures are in a hurry, and as for those who are destroyed, it is also a festival."
At the same time, it also warns people that few people can really understand jade. It takes effort and even a price to convince others of their uniqueness!
