An ancient poem waiting for the rabbit: comments on the original poem

1, Waiting for the Rabbit Pre-Qin/Han Feizi

Original poem: Song people have cultivators. There was a plant in the field. When the rabbit touched the plant, its neck broke and it died. Stand by and watch because you released this plant, hoping to get the rabbit back. Rabbits can't be recovered, but as a small fruit of a song. Today, the people who want to go to the former dynasty are all guarding their factories and so on.

2. Translation: There was a farmer in Song State who was plowing the land, and there was a stump in his field. One day, a rabbit running fast ran into a stump, broke its neck and died. So he put down his farm tools and stood by the stump day and night, hoping to get another rabbit. However, the hare could not get it again, and he himself was laughed at by the Song people. Now I want to manage today's people with my late king's strategy of governing the country, which is the same as waiting for him!
