Idiom story

In the late Warring States period, the state of Qin attacked the state of Zhao, but the state of Wei, a close neighbor of the state of Zhao, thought it was good for the state of Wei, but Zishun, the Prime Minister of the state of Wei, didn't think so. He believed that the Qin state was powerful and aggressive, and the Wei state could not live a comfortable life like the sparrow under the beam of the house. Because there was a fire in the house, the sparrow had no place to live.
