The endless source of idioms
The idiom "flowing continuously" refers to the continuous flow of water, and describes the continuous and never-ending movement of people or things. This idiom comes from Zuo Zhuan, an ancient historical document in China, and records the story of twenty-nine years of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

At that time, when Zhao Gong was in power, he found that the government had problems such as corruption, so he decided to carry out large-scale reforms. He asked government officials to set an example for the people. Zhao Gong personally cut his hair and became a monk, giving up the throne and becoming a monk, in order to show his moral demeanor of being honest and clean.

This move aroused the general admiration and admiration of the people of Lu. They followed suit, shaved their hair and became monks, determined to practice lofty moral principles. "Zuo Zhuan" describes this as: "If the flow is endless, if you spit it out." It means that people cut their hair into monks like water and spit it out like a long snake, which vividly depicts the continuous progress of the Reform Movement and people's active participation.

Later, the "endless stream" in this story was extended to an idiom to describe things or activities that are continuous and never stop. For example, we often use "continuous flow" to describe people's work, study, communication and other activities, which means that people are constantly working hard, struggling and enterprising.

In real life, we can often see the phenomenon of "endless stream" For example, the movement of traffic, the flow of rivers, people's busyness and so on can all be described by this idiom. The idiom "flowing endlessly" comes from Zuo Zhuan, which vividly depicts a continuous scene with the story of Zhao Gong's haircut as a monk and a series of reform waves as the background. This idiom is vivid and deeply loved and used by people. It is often used to describe all kinds of continuous things and activities.
