What are the famous fables of China?

China's famous fables include Encouraging Seedlings, Waiting for Rabbits and gilding the lily. Today, I will tell you a story about encouraging young plants.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer in Song State. He thinks that the seedlings in his field grow too slowly, so he is worried all day.

One day, he went down to the field with a hoe. He felt that the rice seedlings didn't seem to grow up at all, so he thought hard about how to make the rice grow taller. Suddenly, he had a brainwave. Without hesitation, he rolled up his trouser legs and jumped into the rice field, and began to pull up the seedlings. In the evening, the farmer finally finished what he thought was a clever masterpiece, ran home triumphantly and couldn't wait to tell his wife, "Tell you an amazing thing, I thought of a good idea today, which made the rice seedlings in our field grow a lot taller." The farmer's wife was dubious and asked her son to go to the field to see what was going on. My son heard that the rice at home had grown taller, so he excitedly ran to the field to see it. At this time, he found that although the rice seedlings were tall, they hung down tree by tree and were about to wither.

The moral of this fable is to tell everyone that the development of objective things has its own laws. It is not enough to rely only on good wishes and enthusiasm, and it is likely that the effect will be contrary to subjective wishes. At the same time, I also want to tell you that "haste makes waste". We must give full play to our subjective initiative and do everything according to objective laws in order to do things well. On the contrary, if you only do it according to your own subjective wishes, even with good wishes and good motives, the result can only be counterproductive.
