Gou Jian's siege was also at the scene. He chewed and sighed, "What about this last one?" Confucius said, "The soup is the summer platform, the king of Wen is imprisoned in the wheat field, and Jin is struggling and struggling. If you look at it, why not bless it? " Since the state of Wu pardoned the state of Yue, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, rebelled, but he was too worried about his health to sit down. When he sat down, he was afraid of eating and drinking. Yue: "That woman will remember shame?" White operation, Mrs. Self-weaving, no meat, no clothes, tribute to sages, thick guests, hanging poor, and working with the people.

Translation:

Gou Jian, King of Yue, was trapped in Kuaiji Mountain. He sighed, "am I finished here?" Wen Zhong said: "The shopping mall was once imprisoned in Xiatai, Zhou Wenwang was once imprisoned in Shili, Jin Wengong struggled (was accused) and went out of Zhai Guo, and Qi Huangong Xiaobai avoided chaos and got rid of moss. They finally established hegemony. From this perspective, why can't (worry) be turned into a blessing? " After the heavenly king pardoned the King of Yue, Gou Jian returned to China, so he personally experienced the pain and deeply reflected. He put the gallbladder next to his seat, looked up when he was lying down and sitting, and saw the gallbladder when he was eating. He often says to himself, "Have you forgotten the shame of failure?" He personally went to the fields, and his wife personally weaved, ate meatless, wore clothes of more than two colors, put down her airs, treated the sages, treated the guests, helped the poor families, sympathized with the families of the deceased, and worked as hard as the people.
