For example, "Historical Records of Xiang Yu" "Today's man is a knife, I am a fish, why should I resign"; Mencius Hui Liang Wang Shang "What the master said is of great concern to me".
A "fool" modestly calls himself not smart, like a silly brother, and calls himself a smaller person than himself; My humble opinion, tell me your own opinion. You can also call yourself "stupid" by yourself.
