In the Warring States Period of China, the
King of (Qi Kingdom) liked music very much.
One of his favorite instruments is (Yuan).
The king then found a lot of musicians who
were good at playing (Yuan).
These people formed a big band with a total
of 300 people.
There is a person who can't play (Yuan),

big band.
Every time this big band performed, he took
(Yuan) and pretended to play.
The king died a few years later, and his

The young king asked 300 musicians to play

The man saw that his lies were about to be
taken through, and he hurried away.

濫竽充數 (Cheating others or cheating yourself
)
中國的戰國時代，(齊王國)的國王很喜歡音樂。
他最喜歡的一種樂器叫(竽)。
國王便找了很多很會吹奏(竽)的樂手。
這些人組成了一支總共有300人的大樂隊。
有一個人他不會吹奏(竽)，但是因為這些樂手的薪水很高，所以他想辦法進入這個大樂隊中。
每次這個大樂隊表演的時候，他就拿著(竽)，假裝吹奏。
幾年後國王去世了，他的兒子繼任成為新的國王。
年輕的國王也喜歡(竽)的音色。
但是年輕的國王與他父親不一樣，他喜歡聽獨奏。
年輕的國王要求300個樂手們、一個個輪流吹奏。
這個人看到自已的謊言就要被拆穿，他便趕緊逃離。
