Idioms and allusions

Mi Youren, the son of the great painter Mi Fu of the Song Dynasty, has a family background. Like his father, he is good at both calligraphy and painting. He especially likes the works of the ancients. Once, when he saw Wang Xizhi's real calligraphy on someone else's boat, he was so happy that he immediately wanted to exchange it for a good day. The master didn't agree. He was so anxious that he jumped into the water by climbing the side of the boat. Fortunately, he was quickly hugged by others so that he didn't fall into the water. He learned to imitate the paintings of the ancients. When he was in Lianshui, he borrowed a painting of "pine cow" to describe it. Later, he left the real copy and gave it back to someone who didn't realize it at that time. Take it and go. It wasn't until many days later that I came to ask for the original. When Mi Youren asked him how he could see it, the man replied, "in the eyes of the real book, there is a shadow of a shepherd boy; but the one you gave me back is not." However, when he imitates the paintings of the ancients, few people find that his model is fake. He often tried every means to borrow ancient paintings from others to describe them, and after copying, he always gave them to the master together with the sample and the real copy, asking the master to choose for himself. Because he as like as two peas, he has copied the old painting and has the same skill. He often takes the mould as a real book and receives many valuable genuine paintings. Mi Youren is a talented artist, worthy of people's admiration, as well as a lover and appreciator of ancient paintings, which makes people know more about the beauty and value of ancient paintings. However, his behavior of skillfully exchanging imitated copies for others' copies is despised and despised. Therefore, some people call his behavior of swindling other people's real ancient paintings by ingenious means "stealing and plundering". Later, people have extended it into the idiom "seizing and plundering", which is used to describe people who use improper and ingenious means to grab property they don't deserve. "Skillful taking" means swindling; and "extortion" means seizing payment. Seizing property in this way is often convenient and gains a lot. Therefore, there is a saying that "seizing property skillfully, so gains a lot". For example, the God stick, which uses God as its cover, often uses its name to cheat ignorant people out of their property by doing some Buddhist work. Seizing private property is "seizing by means of cunning and extortion".
