The origin of "peaches and plums don't say anything, the foundation is made by themselves";
In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a brave general named Li Guang, who fought against Xiongnu more than 70 times in his life. He made outstanding achievements and was deeply loved by officers and men and the people. Although Li Guang is in a high position, commanding thousands of troops and defending the country, he is a hero, but he is not proud of himself.
He is not only kind to others, but also shares joys and sorrows with soldiers. Every time the court gave him a reward, his first thought was his subordinates, and all those rewards were distributed to officers and men; When there is no food or water for marching and fighting, he himself is as hungry as the soldiers; When he started fighting, he took the lead and was brave and tenacious. As long as he gives the order, everyone will kill the enemy bravely, not afraid of sacrifice.
Later, when the bad news of General Li Guang's death reached the barracks, all the soldiers wept bitterly, and even many people who were not familiar with the general at ordinary times mourned for him. In people's minds, General Li Guang is their great hero. Sima Qian, a great historian in the Han Dynasty, praised the biography of Li Guangli: "Peach and plum don't say anything, but go their own way." This is the origin of it.
