The truth of the story of Dong and Wolf.

Dong first told us about the wolf:

"Dong Guo and the Wolf" tells us that villains like wolves will never change their nature, so we should be alert to their sweet words to avoid being fooled; In dealing with interpersonal relationships and social interaction, we must clearly distinguish right from wrong, be alert to the trap of bad people, do good without discrimination, be happy and ready to help others. If we have no common sense, we will be eaten by wolves.

What tells people is that we must control the desires of creatures, including people, and we must never satisfy their desires indefinitely. Because the desire of creatures, including human beings, is endless, it will expand uncontrollably and infinitely, that is, it will be insatiable.

The Origin and Content of Mr. Dong Guo and the Wolf

The story of Mr. Dong Guo and the wolf comes from the story of the mountain wolf in Ma's Collected Works of Dong Tian in Ming Dynasty, which is a fable story based on ancient legends.

Mr. Dong Guo met an escaped wolf on the road. He couldn't stand the wolf's pleading and hid it in his schoolbag. When Zhao Jianzi, who was chasing the wolf, caught up with him and asked him, Mr. Dong Guo pointed out a direction at random and fooled Zhao Jianzi. The escaped wolf immediately turned his face when he got out of the book bag and wanted to eat Mr. Dong Guo. When he was deadlocked, he met an old farmer.

The two sides let him judge, and the old farmer didn't believe how such a small schoolbag could hold a wolf. In order to prove that what he said was true, the wolf got in again, and the old farmer took the opportunity to kill him with a hoe. Mr. Dong Guo actually asked, "Aren't you a wolf?" The old farmer said that this hurtful beast will not change its nature. You are so confused when you talk about being nice to wolves. Your kindness is foolish.
