Mozi: "In the past, King Chu Ling had a thin waist. Therefore, the ministers of the Elf King all take rice as a festival, threatening to rest before eating, and to help the wall get up again. Compared with the previous year, the colors of North Korea are Lebanon and black.
"The Warring States Policy": recorded the conversation between Chu Weiwang and Minister Mo Aozihua. After listening to Mo Ao Zihua's introduction of the glorious deeds of the five famous ministers of Chu, Wang Wei was very envious and sighed: "Where can we find such outstanding people in today's talent gap?" So Mo Aozihua told the following story:
Original text: "In the past, the monarch and the minister were very young, and Chu people met for dinner. Although Feng could stand up, he could afford it. Eat whatever you want, but endure it; Death is hateful, but it is inevitable. "
In the past, King Chu Ling liked people with thin waists. In order to slim down, all the scholars in the state of Chu went on a diet to lose weight, and they were dizzy with hunger and could not stand up. The person sitting on the mat must stand up and hold the wall, and the person sitting on the carriage must stand up and lean against the stone. Everyone wants to eat delicious food, but people don't want to eat it. In order to slim down, they are willing to starve to death. Mo Aozihua went on to say that courtiers always want to be loved by kings. If the king really likes sages and guides everyone to become sages, it is not difficult for Chu to become a talented minister like the five sages of the previous dynasty.
