[Idiomatic Story] During the Spring and Autumn Period, there were frequent disputes between Wu and Yue. In 497 BC, the state of Wu was defeated by the state of Yue, and the king of Yue, Goujian, begged for surrender to the state of Wu, and went to the state of Wu to serve as a slave to the king of Wu, Fuzha. With the help of the great doctor Fan Li, King Goujian finally tricked Fuchai into trusting him and was released to his country three years later. In order not to forget the national shame, Goujian slept on firewood every night, and also hung bitter bile where he sat and lay, and tasted a mouthful of bitter bile before eating every day. After ten years of struggle, Yue finally defeated Wu.

There were two main people who assisted King Goujian to avenge his death, one was Fan Li, and the other was Wen Qi. At that time, Goujian was defeated in the battle of Mount Huiji, and his country was not strong enough to fight against Wu. He then discussed with two ministers, Fan Li and Wen Zi, on how to avenge his defeat. Fan Li advised Gou Jian to take the initiative to show his favor to the king of Wu, so as to buy time to develop production, strengthen the national strength, and improve the military power.

At this time, Fu Chai was proud of his role as the king of Wu, and was obsessed with enjoying himself. Wen Qi persuaded Gou Tram to pay tribute to the king of Wu with beautiful women. The king sent his men to look for a beautiful woman, and they found Xi Shi, a beautiful woman with a beautiful face and a beautiful goose, by the side of the Raccoon River. The king sent Fan Li to present her to Fu Zhai. When Fu Zhai saw Xi Shi, he was charmed by her and treated her as a fairy who had descended to earth. He doted on her and gradually relaxed his surveillance on Gou Jie. Then, Wenshou and Fan Li helped Gou Jie to gain Fu Zhai's trust. They also designed for Fu Zhai to kill Wu Zixu, a loyal minister, and gave Wu seeds that had been soaked and could not be germinated, which caused Wu to have no harvest that year, and there was a famine everywhere, and the people in the country were in great turmoil.

The most important thing is that the Vietnamese state was able to destroy the state of Wu, and Fan Li and Wen Zi were the most important contributors. After the destruction of the state of Wu, because of the outstanding achievements of Fan and Wen, he wanted to worship Fan Li as a general and Wen as a prime minister. But Fan Li not only refused to accept the reward, but also insisted on leaving the country. He left the state of Yue and lived in the state of Qi, despite the repeated requests of Goujian. After he left, Fan Li was still thinking about his friend Wen Qi, so he sent a letter to Wen Qi quietly, telling him: You should also leave quickly, our mission has been accomplished. The narrow-mindedness of Goujian can only *** with him in trouble, can not with him *** rich and powerful. You have to remember: "The flying bird is exhausted, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit dies, the walking dog cooks."

However, Wen Qi did not believe that the king of Vietnam would harm himself, insisted on refusing to go, and wrote back, "I have made such a great achievement, it is the time to enjoy, how can I just leave it?" Sure enough, not long after Wenzou became the prime minister, Goujian sent him the sword that Fu Cai used when he told Wu Zixu to commit suicide, and at the same time, he brought this sentence: Mr. Wu taught me seven ways of destroying Wu, and I only used three of them to destroy Wu, and I still have four unused ways left, so I ask Mr. Wu to bring them to the late king. Wen Qi took a look and understood, regretting that he had not listened to Fan Li, and had no choice but to raise his sword and kill himself.

Rabbit death and dog cooking is a sad word in most of our minds. It often refers to those who are in power when they get power, they kill those who had made great achievements for themselves. This word is also often used in conjunction with the word "kill the donkey" and "hide the bow" to enhance the sadness.

The story of the dog and the rabbit being cooked is one that has been played out throughout history. Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty once asked his ministers, "How did I win the world?" The answer of the ministers was not clear. Liu Bang then said: "The reason why I have today, thanks to three people - planning in a tent, the decision to win a thousand miles away, I am not as good as Zhang Liang; to defend the country, to appease the people, and constantly supply the army, I am not as good as Xiao He; the rate of millions of people, the battle will be won, the attack will be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. All three of you are outstanding men, I can use them, this is why I take the world." This is the person who is Han Xin's success, but no sense of self-protection, and finally died in the Weiyang Palace conspiracy at the hands of Empress Lu.

The world has been decided, the hero when cooking, Chinese and foreign ancient and modern, no exception. Churchill relied on the people to fight during the war, and was loved by the people. However, as victory in the war against fascism approached, his pride and arbitrariness grew. He thought that he had a great record of saving Britain and that he could beat all his rivals on that basis. But in the 1945 British general election, he lost. In the face of the results, Churchill was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time before sighing, "The British people are mature, they do not need a hero to lead them to rebuild their homes."

In fact, if you put aside the emotional factors, the rabbit died and the dog was cooked in a sense, is a kind of destiny, is the inevitable development of history. The reason for this is also in line with historical materialism. Take the eggshell for example, when the chick is not born, the eggshell on the fertilized egg inside is a protective effect, when hatched into a chick, the chick is almost out of the shell, this time the eggshell is a kind of bondage, it also completed its own historical mission, will be pecked by the chick. Otherwise, a new life, will be snuffed out.

Li Zicheng did not succeed, is because of the lack of "cooking dog" courage. The revolution is basically successful, either those under the hands of the "cup of wine to release the military power", to give them good land and beautiful house so that they can enjoy the glory of the world, or it is necessary to deal with these habits of sabotage people. But he did not have the ruthlessness of the emperor, condoning Liu Zongmin and his gang to act recklessly and continue to wreak havoc. The establishment of a new regime requires a building force and no longer needs that kind of destructive force. As a result, Li Zicheng classmate emperor only do a few dozen days, on the ashes.

The relationship between chickens and eggshells is an excellent metaphor, and he reveals to us that when a new, more vital thing arises, it is inevitable to break and even use violence to clear away all those things that bind and block their own development. Not even potential threats are allowed to exist. At this time, as a former minister of merit - "dog", either to comply with the trend, to realize their own transformation, or to be abandoned like a piece of trash. In this regard, Fan Li did very well, after the success of the revolution, immediately changed the business, from the "dog" into a person.

The reason for his death was the same as the previous two, also because of the dispute over the establishment of the first wife.
