During the spring and Autumn period, the king of Chu, the Communist king of Chu, loved hunting. Once, he was riding a horse to chase several wild animals. He ran a lot and was about to catch up with them. He wanted to take out his bow and arrow and shoot at the wild animals. He didn't know that when he touched his waist, the bow was gone. It turned out that he was running too fast and bumping around on his horse. That bow had been lost for a long time. this is a very exquisite bow. The attendants felt it was a pity to lose it. They asked the king of the Communist Party of Chu, "let's go back and look for it along the way." The king of Chu stopped him and said, "don't look for it. I'm from the state of Chu. The bow was picked up by the people of Chu, but it's still in the hands of the people of Chu. When the people of Chu lost their bows, they still got them. Why should we look for them? Confucius said, "what the king of Chu said shows a broad mind, but he is not broad enough. It should be said that one person lost the bow, and the other got it. Why must he be a Chu man? People all praised him and said, "Confucius's words have really reached the level of Dagong."
