First of all, idiom stories
In 382 A.D., Fu Jian, the former Qin emperor who unified most of northern China, prepared to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. To this end, he called a hundred officials from civil and military affairs and said to everyone: "Since I became emperor, the national strength of the former Qin Dynasty has become stronger and stronger, and its territory has grown from small to large. No country in the north dares to compare with me. But the southern Jin dynasty still occupied a large area of fertile land.
I can't eat or sleep well every time I think about it. I have a million troops, invincible in the world. I will personally lead an army to attack Kim. what do you think? There was a long silence in the hall, and then the left servant shot at the right wing and said, "Xie An, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, was in power, and the morale of the soldiers was high. I'm afraid it's not time to attack it yet. I hope your majesty will think twice. "
Hearing this, Fu Jian thought that Quan Yi was an old enemy's ambition and destroyed his prestige. He was unhappy, but he still said, "well, let other ministers express their opinions."
After a while, the prince took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, although we are outnumbered, the Jin army still occupies the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, which is extremely beneficial to them. If you cross the river by force, it will definitely cause great losses. Your Majesty must think twice! "
The two ministers opposed the attack on King, which made Fu Jian very angry. So he said slowly, "What's so great about the Yangtze River? I have a million troops, as long as I order every soldier to throw a whip into the river. It is enough to cut off the water flow in the Yangtze River! " Fu Jian angrily returned to Nagong, and Prince Fu Hong came to persuade him not to make a move, but he still wouldn't listen and went his own way.
In 383 AD, Fu Jian personally led 900,000 troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Eastern Jin mobilized 80,000 navy and army to fight the former Qin Jun under the command of Xie Shi and Xie Xuan. The two armies of Qin Jin met at Fei Shui. As a result, Qin Jun was defeated, and Fu Jian almost became a prisoner in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Idioms tell people that complacency is a taboo in life. No matter whether you are in an advantage or a disadvantage, you should analyze it modestly and cautiously. Excessive complacency will only put you in a passive position. No matter what occupation you are engaged in or what position you hold, only by being modest and prudent can you maintain the spirit of continuous progress and increase more knowledge and talents.
Modesty and prudence can make people see their own gap, never be complacent, and continuous progress can make people listen to other people's opinions and criticisms calmly and become cautious.

1, tens of thousands of athletes crossed the Yangtze River together, and the spectacular lineup was comparable to the flogging of the ancients.
2, I don't believe that with a million heroes, it is possible to cut off the current with a whip, and this mountain will break down!
There are many soldiers going out today, so there is the spirit of flogging and cutting off the flow. Why can't the enemy be destroyed?
