During the Warring States period, there was a farmer named Li Nong, whose sheepfold was broken due to disrepair. At first, when he found out that a sheep had been taken away from the sheepfold by wolves, his neighbors advised him to repair the sheepfold quickly to avoid further losses. However, Li Nong did not pay attention to this issue, he felt that it was just a sheep. However, it was not long before more sheep were taken away by wolves, and Li Nong realized the seriousness of the situation. At this time, he repented of his mistake and hastily repaired the sheepfold. However, Li Nong, who had already lost most of his sheep, could no longer make up for his losses.
This story teaches us that when we encounter a problem, we cannot ignore its existence, but take measures to solve it in time to avoid more serious consequences. Sometimes, a problem may seem small, but if left unattended, it can grow into a gradual increase until it becomes irreparable.

In ancient times, when a thief passed by the door of a house, he noticed a string of beautiful bells hanging from the door, and he was greedy to steal them. However, he was worried that the ringing of the bell would attract attention when he stole the bell. So, he came up with the "brilliant" idea of covering his ears so that he could not hear the bell and could safely steal the bell.
What he doesn't know, however, is that others can see his actions and see that he is stealing. Just as he reached for the bell, several men came out of the gate and grabbed him. The thief thought that he could cover everything up by covering his ears, but he did not expect that his stupidity would be seen through. In the end, he stole nothing, just made a laughing stock for himself.
This story teaches us that one cannot deceive oneself and deceive oneself with stupidity. No matter how much we cover up the facts, no matter how much we deceive ourselves, the truth will always be there. Only by facing the problem honestly can we find a solution, otherwise it will be in vain and we will fall into a greater predicament.
During the Warring States Period, after the nobles of the Chu State sacrificed in the Zongmiao, they rewarded the guests with a pot of wine as a reward. The doormen knew that there was only one pot of wine, but everyone wanted it, so they proposed a contest to see who could draw a snake the fastest and best, and the winner would get the pot of wine. So, everyone buried their heads in painting, hoping to complete the task as soon as possible.
One of the doormen quickly drew a realistic snake, and when he looked around, he was the only one who was still drawing snakes. However, when he looked closely at the snake he had drawn, he suddenly felt as if the snake was missing a leg. So, he decided to draw the snake's feet and present it perfectly. However, another doorman had already drawn a snake, and when he saw him drawing feet, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Snakes have no feet, and if you draw feet for snakes, isn't that adding to the snake's feet?" He took the opportunity to take the wine.
This story teaches us that sometimes we strive for perfection and are prone to destroying what is already in place. Although the doorman's drawing of snakes was seamless at first, he self-righteously added superfluous elements, which were self-defeating, and as a result, he got nothing and was ridiculed. Therefore, we must know how to do what we can, and don't covet temporary perfection, otherwise it may backfire and achieve nothing.
