original text

Yi's work is mediocre and clumsy, which makes people have no reputation. The sage works from heaven but not from man. If a man works in heaven and is brilliant in man, only the whole man can do it. Only insects can be insects, only insects can be heaven. The whole person is evil? Heaven of the wicked? What's more, my heaven is human! If a sparrow is suitable for Yi, Yi will gain it and gain power; if the world is the cage, the sparrow will have nothing to escape. So Tang cage Yiyin with his disciples, and Qin Mugong cage bailixi with the skin of Wuyang. Therefore, it is impossible to get it without its good cage.

interpretation

If a small bird flies to meet Yi, Yi will definitely shoot it. This is Yi's power. If the whole world is regarded as a bird cage, no bird can escape. Therefore, Shang Tang used kitchen to win over Yi Yin, and Qin Mu used five sheep skins to win over Bai Lixi. Therefore, there has never been one that can succeed without winning people's hearts by what it likes.
