Idiom story
Han Feizi’s “Study and Waiting for Rabbits”: Song people have plowers. There is a plant in the field, and the rabbit walks and touches the plant, breaking its neck to death. Because of the release of Qi Lei, he kept the tree, hoping to regain the rabbit. The rabbit cannot be recovered, and as Song Guoxiao.
It means that there was a farmer in Song Dynasty who had a stump in his field. One day, a fast-running hare hit a tree stump, twisted its neck and died. So the farmer put down his farm tools and stayed next to the stump day and night, hoping to get another rabbit. However, it is impossible for Hare to get it again, and he himself was ridiculed by posterity.
