One of the men said: &quot;We have o<em><\/em>nly one pot of wine, and it&#8217;s o<em><\/em>nly enough for one. So, let&#8217;s play for it. The first one to finish drawing a snake in the ground wins the pot of wine.&quot;<br \/>  The others agreed and started drawing their snakes in the ground.<br \/>  Then, there was a winner, or so he thought. He had finished his drawing and reached for the pot of wine. But, when he saw that the others hadn&#8217;t finished their drawings, he arrogantly said to them: &quot;How slow you are! The way you&#8217;re going, I can add feet to my snake and still win the pot of wine.&quot;<br \/>  So, he did. He added feet to his snake. But before he could finish, another man grabbed the pot of wine and said: &quot;What snake has feet? That&#8217;s not a snake! So, I win!&quot;<br \/>  The moral of the story is that sometimes going too far can be as bad, or worse, than not going far enough.<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; qi?o &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; du&oacute; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ti\u0101n &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; g\u014dng<br \/>  \u3010 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u5de7 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u593a &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u5929 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u5de5 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u3011<br \/>  Workmanship so skilful that the results are even more beautiful than nature<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; h?i &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ku&ograve; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ti\u0101n &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; k\u014dng<br \/>  \u3010 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u6d77 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u9614 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u5929 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u7a7a &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u3011<br \/>  As boundless as the sea and the sky; unrestrained and far-ranging<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; h?o &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; x\u012bn &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; h?o &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; y&igrave;<br \/>  \u3010 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u597d &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u5fc3 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u597d &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u610f &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u3011<br \/>  With the best of intentions; good-willed and well-intentioned<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ti\u0101n &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; r?ng &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; zh\u012b &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; bi&eacute;<br \/>  \u3010 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u5929 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u58e4 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u4e4b &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u522b &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u3011<br \/>  As far apart as heaven and earth; a world of difference<br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3254856742\"><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>Adding Feet to a Drawing of a Snake An official in the ancient State of Chu gave a pot of<\/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":[19,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-idiom","category-chinese-words-phrases"],"views":233,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4260"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4260\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4260"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/vi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
