Source "Xi Tan Lu": Mosquitoes are sworn brothers. Mosquitoes in the city are brother-in-law and mosquitoes in the countryside are brother-in-law. The elder brother addressed the younger brother and said, "You, the great man in the city, have delicacies that are delicious, delicious and filling, and your skin is tender and plump. How can you have such a good taste? I, a farmer in the country, eat quinoa to satisfy my hunger, swallow chaff, and water my flesh and blood. How can I?" Why should I be so indifferent?" Cheng Mosquito said, "I was in the city, having a banquet every day, and I felt very satiated." Xiang Mosquito said, "First take me to the city to receive the Lord's anointing, and then take you. Go outside the city and taste the local flavor." Cheng Zhi agreed and took Xiang Zhi to the Great Buddha Temple. He pointed to the two commanders of Heng Ha and said, "This is your lord, go and treat me to something." The mosquitoes flew on the adults, studied them for a long time, and complained: "You adults are really big, but you are reluctant to let others eat them. I drilled hard for a long time, but not only did it taste nothing, but there was no blood at all."

Two mosquitoes are sworn brothers. The mosquito in the city is the brother-in-law, and the mosquito in the country is the brother-in-law.

Brother Ba said to Brother Ba: "You adults in the city are very palatable with delicacies from mountains and seas. You fill your stomach and intestines with delicious food, so your muscles and skin grow tender and fat. What kind of virtue have you cultivated to be able to Is there such a good thing to eat? We farmers in the countryside eat wild vegetables and bean leaves to satisfy our hunger, swallowing the chaff and shriveled grains, making our flesh and blood thick and thin. What crime have I committed to live such a quiet and indifferent life? "

The mosquito in the city said: "I go to banquets every day in the city and eat delicious food all the time. I feel full and tired!"

The mosquito in the country said: "You first Take me to the city to receive your kindness and anointing blood, and then I will take you outside the city to taste the flavor of the countryside." The mosquito in the city agreed, and he took the mosquito in the countryside to the big Buddhist temple and pointed at the gate. Humph and Ha, the two handsome men said: "This is your lord, go and treat me to a meal!"

The mosquitoes from the countryside flew to the lord and dug into the lord for a long time with their sharp beaks. He complained about the graves in the city and said: "You adults in the city are really big, but you are reluctant to eat them. I dug into them with my mouth for a long time, but not only did there not be any taste, but there was not even a drop of blood."

Later generations used this fable to explain the last words of a mosquito in the countryside - "This man in the city is really big, but he is reluctant to be eaten by others. I drilled hard for a long time, but not only was there no taste, but there was no blood at all. ." This is the purpose of this satire. The book vividly depicts the "miser" image of the powerful men in the city. Yes, they are fierce guys who eat people without spitting out their bones. How can they be willing to leave a drop of their blood and sweat for others to enjoy!
