" The next day, I will swim in the orchard with linggong, and eat peaches to make linggong fresh. Linggong said, "love me, forget my taste and eat me." As for Mizi, he was weak in color and relaxed in love. He offended you. You said, "he is the one who tries to drive my car in sedan chair and eats my peach.". In Han Feizi, mizixiao is a beautiful young man with elegant demeanor. Wei linggong dotes on him very much. Once, while playing in the peach garden, mizixiao picked a ripe peach and ate it. Unexpectedly, the peach was so delicious that mizixiao left half of it for linggong. Wei linggong was very happy to say to him: "you must be reluctant to eat it. You specially left it to me." A few years later, Mizuki's appearance was no longer as beautiful as before, and linggong gradually alienated him. One day, linggong suddenly remembered that mizixiao had given me peaches, so he yelled: "mizixiao is so hateful that he gave me the leftover peaches." In other words, there are two opposite views on the same behavior of mizixiao.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for Han Feizi to cite the allusion "Yu Tao" as an example.
