The Eastern Imitation of the Frowns is an essay by Chuang Tzu. The original text reads as follows: Xi Shi's heart is sick and she frowns inside. The ugly people in her house see her and admire her. When she returns, she holds her heart and frowns inside. When the rich people in the village saw him, they insisted on closing their doors and not coming out. When the poor people saw him, they took their wives and children away. He knows the beauty of a frown, but he does not know why it is beautiful." This passage described how Xi Shi walked in the village with a frown because of her heart pain. An ugly person in the village saw her and thought she was very beautiful. After returning home, he also covered his heart and walked in the village. When the rich people in the village saw her, they closed their doors tightly and did not go out. When the poor people saw Dongshi, they took their wives and children and ran away from her. This story tells us that people only know that frowning looks good, but they don't know why frowning is beautiful.
The phrase 'drain the pond to catch fish' came from Lu Buwei's Spring and Autumn Righteous Appreciation during the Warring States Period. [Note]: Exhausted; Ze: Pond; Fishing: Fishing. To drain the water from the pond to catch fish was to do things for immediate benefits without any plans for the future. It was also a metaphor for cruel exploitation. There were also similar expressions such as " burning the forest to farm, draining the pond to fish " in Han Liu An's " Huainanzi: Ben Jing Xun ", in which " exhaust: make…dry up; fishing: catch fish " meant to burn the forest to catch wild animals, drain the lake water to catch fish. It was also a metaphor for only caring about immediate interests, endlessly taking without leaving any leeway. "The Crane Drinks the Spring Breeze" is equally exciting.
