Ambition is a metaphor for lofty aspirations. Sima Qian's Historical Records of Chen She Family in the Western Han Dynasty: "Hehe! Swallows know the ambition of swans! " Translation: alas! How do sparrows know the ambition of swans?
Allusion: At the end of Qin Dynasty, Chen She, one of the leaders of the peasant uprising, was very poor when he was a child, and was often employed to plow the fields. One day, when he was resting in farming, the more he thought about social injustice, the more angry he became. He said to a person, "If I become rich one day, I will never forget you."
When his companions heard his words, they all laughed at his whimsy and dreaming in broad daylight. He couldn't help sighing and said, "Alas, how can a sparrow understand the great ambition of a swan!" " "

Said by Zhuang Zhou of the Warring States Period, "Wandering around Zhuangzi": "There are fish in the northern Ming Dynasty, named Kun. Kunda, thousands of miles away. Become a bird. Its name is Peng. Peng's back is thousands of miles away; Fly away angrily, its wings hang in the sky like clouds. If it is a bird, the Games will be in the south. Nanming, Tianchi also. "
There is a kind of Kun fish in the distant North Sea. Its body is as big as a thousand miles. One day, the Kun fish suddenly became a Dapeng bird, with a back as wide as a thousand miles. Dapeng mustered all his strength to fly high into the sky, and his open wings fell from the sky like two dark clouds. Dapeng will fly to Tianchi in the south by air and sea.
