He is one of the most important thinkers in
Chinese history.
In his book, he uses many simple parables to illustrate the profound truth.
As an example.
During the Spring and Autumn
During the Spring and Autumn Period of China, the king of the Qi Kingdom invited a great painter to paint his portrait.
During the painting process, the king chatted with the painter.
The king asked the painter a question.
You are a very experienced painter, what do you think is the most difficult to paint?
The painter replied after thinking. I think painting dogs or horses is the most difficult thing.
The king asked another question.
So what do you think is the easiest thing to draw?
The painter replied after thinking. I think painting ghosts is the easiest.
The king thought these two answers were too interesting. He asked the painter what the reason was.
The painter replied. Around our lives, we see dogs and horses every day, so even if there is only one subtle difference in my painting, it is easy for others to spot.
This is why I think it is difficult.
But in our lives, no one has actually seen ghosts.
So even if I paint casually, I can say that this is the ghost I see, and no one can refute me or point out my mistakes.
So I think drawing ghosts is the easiest.
This idiom is used to remind us that we must use objective standards to comment on a matter or opinion.

韓非 (Han Fei)
他的姓是(韓)，他的父母給他取的名字是(非)，他出生地位於在中國的河南省。
韓 | 本意是環繞水井周圍的柵欄的意思，也是中國人的姓氏之一。 |
非 | 這個字表示不的意思。 |
他是一位中國歷史上最重要的思想家之一。
在他寫的書中，他用許多簡單的寓言說明深奧的道理。
舉一個例子。
中國的春秋時代，齊王國的國王請一位很棒的畫家來為他畫肖像畫。
做畫的過程中，國王便與這名畫家聊天。
國王問畫家一個問題。
你是一個經驗很豐富的畫家，請問你覺得甚麼東西是最難畫的呢。
畫家思考後回答。我覺得畫狗或這是畫馬這兩種動物是最困難的。
國王又問了一個問題。
那麼你覺得什麼東西最簡單畫的呢。
畫家思考後回答。我覺得畫鬼是最簡單的。
國王覺得這兩個答案實在太有趣了。他便問畫家理由是甚麼。
畫家回答。在我們生活周遭，每天都會看到狗和馬，因此我的畫、就算只有一個細微的地方不一樣，也很容易被別人發現。
這就是我認為困難的原因。
但是而我們的生活周遭，沒有人真的看過鬼啊。
所以就算我隨便畫，我都可以說這就是我所看到的鬼，誰也沒有辦法反駁我，也沒有辦法指出我的錯誤。
所以我覺得畫鬼是最容易的。
這句成語被用來提醒我們針對一件事情或者看法，必須用客觀的標準去評論。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你能夠客觀地去評斷自己提出的各種看法嗎?你檢驗自已的想法的工具，是否客觀呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
