Idioms and allusions

When Han Xin first went to Liu Bang, Liu Bang asked him to manage the granary. Han Xin put forward the management concept of "bringing forth the new through the old". That is, he opened two front and back doors of the granary to transport the new grain in through the front door and the old grain out through the back door. In this way, he could prevent the grain from corrupting in the hot and humid environment of Shu. This is undoubtedly a pioneering work in the history of warehouse management.
