This is a very, very good sword(干將莫邪)

 

During the Spring and Autumn Period in China, there was a coup in the Kingdom of Wu, and the king of the Kingdom of Wu (Ji Liao) was assassinated by his cousin.

His cousin became the king of Wu Kingdom.

 

His cousin's name is (Ji Guang). After he became king, he had a new name, and this name was He Lu.

 

(He Lu) was the most important king in the history of the Wu Kingdom.

He employs many worthy men and treats all the people with kindness and justice.

He spent a lot of money to strengthen the infrastructure of the Wu Kingdom, and he trained a powerful army.

 

When he was in power, the Wu Kingdom was at its most powerful.

 

He had two very important subordinates, one was Wu Zixu from the Kingdom of Chu, and the other was Sun Wu from the Kingdom of Qi.

Sun Wu is the author of the famous book Sun Tzu's Art of War.

 

He is also a famous collector of swords in Chinese history.

 

According to the records of history books, after he died, his son built a mausoleum for him, and put the 3,000 swords he collected before his death into his mausoleum.

 

At that time, the most powerful swordsmith in the Wu Kingdom was called Gan Jiang, and his wife's name was Mo Xie, and his wife assisted him in making swords.

 

(He Lu) Ask him to forge a sword for himself.

 

At that time, Chinese swordsmithing technology was moving from bronze swords to iron swords.

(Goman) worked with his wife and they wanted to make an iron sword.

 

Because the melting point of bronze is 1083 degrees, a blast furnace with charcoal as the main fuel can produce a high temperature of 1200 degrees Celsius, so bronze swords can be cast smoothly.

 

But this temperature cannot forge an iron sword. The melting point of iron is 1535 degrees Celsius, which is more than 300 degrees Celsius higher than 1200 degrees Celsius.

 

They studied for a long time, and after three months, the two of them finally found a solution.

 

They raised the temperature of the fire by adding human hair and nails to the fire.

They finally made an iron sword stronger than a bronze sword.

 

They forged a total of two swords. They named the two swords after their respective names.

 

They dedicated (Moye Sword) to the king, and they treasured (Gan Jiang Sword) in their own homes.

 

The Chinese of this idiom is the name of the two swords.

This idiom is used to describe a very, very good sword.

The king of the Wu Kingdom thought he was a very talented man, so let him hold an important position in the kingdom

He was also responsible for the design and construction of the capital of the Wu Kingdom, now the city of Suzhou.

 

Ten years after he came to the Kingdom of Wu, one day, a man from the Kingdom of Chu came to him. This man's name was (Bai Xi).

 

(Bai Xi) said to him.

My father was an upright minister, but he was killed by the king of Chu kingdom, so I fled to Wu kingdom.

(Bei Li) said to him one day.

Bai Xi looks kind, but according to my observation, he is actually a very treacherous and cunning person.

 

He smiled and said to (Bei Li).

I think he is just as righteous as his father.

I think your judgment is wrong.

 

Later history proved that (Bei Li)'s judgment was correct.

After 33 years, the Wu Kingdom was destroyed, and (Bai Xi) was the key person who led to the demise of the Wu Kingdom.

Not a drop of water leaks out(水洩不通)

 

Not a drop of water leaks out(水洩不通)

 

In the Spring and Autumn Period of China, there was a famous general in the Kingdom of Wu, whose name was Wu Zixu.

His father was a famous and upright minister of the Chu Kingdom.

 

The king of Chu kingdom robbed his son's wife, his behavior was so shameless, so (Wu Zixu)'s father directly pointed out that what he did was wrong.

The king of Chu Kingdom was so angry that he put his father in prison.

 

The king of the Chu Kingdom gave an order, asking him and his brother to go to the palace to pick up his father home.

His brother went to the palace at the king's order, but he did not go.

 

After his brother arrived in the palace, he was also put in prison.

A few days later, his father and his brother were killed by the king.

 

After the king killed his father and brother, he was afraid (Wu Zixu) to take revenge.

 

The king gave an order to the whole kingdom.

The content of this command is as follows.

 

Wu Zixu's family was plotting to betray the Kingdom of Chu, and both his father and his brother had been executed.

But he escaped.

If someone catches him, that person can get a huge bounty and get the title of a noble.

If someone shelters him or takes him in, that person and all his family will be put to death.

 

After this order was announced, all important roads in the entire Chu Kingdom were blocked, and every village was searched.

 

The entire search network is very tight, like a tightly tied bag, and not a drop of water will leak out.

 

This idiom is used to describe that it is very tightly surrounded and has no loopholes at all.

This idiom is also used to describe a lot of people gathered in one place, and the place is very crowded.

 

Dear friends, what are your feelings or thoughts after listening to this story?

Have you heard those shameless stories? Would you point out the king's mistakes if you were his father?

I hope this story will give you something new to gain.
