Historical allusions in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Literally: people who can't blow are mixed in the team that blows. Metaphor is that people without real talent and learning are mixed among insiders and shoddy.
There are three committee of 100 flutes in Qi Xuanwang. Nan Guo invited him to play the piano. He was very happy to hear that hundreds of people supported him in the Zhou Dynasty. After Qi Xuanwang's death, King Qi Huan acceded to the throne. He liked listening to a play very much. When Nan Guo heard about it, he ran away.
Qi Xuanwang sent someone to blow straw, and 300 people had to blow it together. South Chu Shi asked to blow Qi Xuanwang's whistle, and Qi Xuanwang was very happy. The government gave him the same treatment as those hundreds of people. After Qi Xuanwang's death, his son King Qi succeeded to the throne. King Qi Zhuo likes to listen to one solo after another, so Chu Shi in the south escaped.
Extended data:
Mr. Nanguo, who can't play the flute, pretended to make up the numbers in a band of 300 people and even got paid. Once he wanted to play alone with his real skills, Mr. Nan Guo had to run away. This fable is a metaphor for people who have no real talent and learning to fill in the blanks among experts or fill in the blanks with bad things in good deeds. Mr. Nan Guo has also become synonymous with "fiddler".
For thousands of years, people have been telling the story of "making up for mistakes". Chu Shi in the south was cheated for a while, but not for life. It is emphasized that individuals should study hard and practice hard in order to have real talents and practical learning.
An ignorant person who lives by cheating like Chu Shi in the south can cheat for a while, but not for a lifetime. What is false is false, and it will eventually be exposed and disguised because it cannot escape the test of practice. The best way for us to succeed is to study hard. Only by practicing a real skill can we resist all difficulties, setbacks and tests.
