Adou, this name is not unfamiliar to those who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, he is the nickname of Liu Chan, the son of Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty. Adou's whole life seems to be shrouded in the label of "vulgar and incompetent", his qualifications are mediocre, his intelligence is insufficient, like a piece of rotten wood, no matter how he carves, it cannot become a precious work of art. Even with the full assistance of the virtuous minister Zhuge Kongming, the national fortunes of Shu Han could not be reversed. Adou is like a lonely boat with no support, drifting in the rough sea, no matter how fierce the wind and waves are, he can't stand up his chest and stand on his own feet in the world. 
The origin of this word is also quite extraordinary, according to Gao Yang's record in "Hu Xueyan's Complete Biography of the Lamplight Tower": "My husband is a prince of Adou, even if you are Zhuge Liang, you have to sigh." This sentence vividly depicts the incompetent image of Adou, and also shows people's helplessness and sighs for such cowardly and incompetent people. In addition, "Adou who can't be helped" is also a common word to describe cowardly and incompetent people, and it has a similar meaning to Adou, both of which represent a kind of spiritual outlook that cannot be cheered up and self-reliant. 
The word Adou has a deeply derogatory connotation, both from a historical point of view and from a word usage point of view, and it represents those who lack courage and perseverance to stand on their own feet. On the contrary, it is those who have strong beliefs and courage to move forward, so that they can truly stand tall and self-reliant in life.
