A Chu man crossed the river, and his sword fell from the boat into the water. He quickly carved a mark on the side of the boat with a knife and said, "This is where my sword fell." After the ship stopped, the man went into the water from where he marked it to look for the sword. The ship has gone a long way, but the sword will not go with it. Isn't it silly to find a sword like this?

This is a fable, satirizing one-sided, static, rigid and conformist people.
This story tells us that things in the world are always changing, and people should take this change into account when thinking about problems and doing things, and adapt to this change. It is impossible to be rigid and inflexible.
