The original text and translation of "Chu people learn to sail" Chu people have the habit of sailing, but the shipmaster is listening. So between the small experimental islands, the direction was not satisfactory, and I thought I would try my best to operate the boat. Thanks to master Zhou, I dare not take big risks, and I am afraid of falling into the paddle. However, people who are in danger today are not so lucky the day before yesterday.
A man in the state of Chu learned to sail. When he began to learn, no matter whether the boat turned around or turned, whether it was fast or slow, he only listened to his master. So, he went to the river between the islands in the river to try his hand, and there was nothing unsatisfactory, so he thought he had completely learned the skills of sailing. So he bid farewell to the boatman and beat the drums. Suddenly, he was in danger. He looked around and was very scared. The oar fell into the river and the rudder lost control. But weren't all the previous dangers caused by luck?
