Wang Lu wrote on the letter &#8216;by merely beating the grass, you have startled the snake hiding within&#8217;. This perhaps implied that he recognized the ploy, and was ready to fight back. Maybe also he realized that the stratagem had worked well as a warning to him that the population would not stand for his corrupt ways.<\/p>\n<p>  When startled, a person&#8217;s fight-or-flight reaction is triggered wher they may retreat, fight back or even freeze, like a rabbit in the headlights of an o<em><\/em>ncoming car. What they will actually do may be unpredictable, which makes this stratagem one that should be used with care.<\/p>\n<p>  Do something unusual, strange, and unexpected as this will arouse the enemy&#8217;s suspicion and disrupt his thinking. More widely used as &quot;[Do not] startle the snake by hitting the grass&quot;. An imprudent act will give your position or intentions away to the enemy.<br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-809387157\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u6253\u8349\u60ca\u86c7 d\u01cec\u01ceoj\u012bngsh&eacute; Stomp the grass to scare the snake \u539f\u6587\uff1a Content: \u7591\u4ee5\u53e9\u5b9e\uff0c\u5bdf\u800c\u540e\u52a8\uff1b\u590d\u8005\uff0c\u9634\u4e4b\u5a92\u4e5f\u3002 Do something unaimed, but spectacular (&quot;hitting the grass&quot;)<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2848,27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-historical-stories","category-chinese-literature"],"views":285,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9801"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9801\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/mm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
