The guest drew the King of Qi, and the King of Qi asked, "Which is the most difficult?" Said, "Dogs and horses are the hardest." "Who is the easiest?" "Ghost is the easiest. As we all know, the past was exhausting and difficult. Ghosts and invisible people are never tired before, so they are easy. "

Someone painted for the king of Qi. King Qi asked him, "What is the hardest thing to draw?" He said, "Dogs and horses are the most difficult to draw." The king of Qi asked again, "What is the easiest to draw?" He said: "It is the easiest to draw ghosts. Dogs and horses are familiar to people, and they will appear in front of you sooner or later, so it is difficult to draw them, because they are not only similar. Ghosts are invisible and will not appear in front of people, so it is easy to draw. "

Moral: it is the easiest thing to make up and write; But it is not easy to really understand objective things and express them properly.

Fable story:

During the Spring and Autumn Period, a talented painter was invited to paint the King of Qi. In the process of painting, the king of Qi asked the painter, "What is the most difficult thing to draw?" The painter replied, "It's the hardest to draw a dog or a horse. I'm not very good at it." The king of Qi asked again, "What is the easiest thing to draw?" The painter said, "It is easiest to draw ghosts." "why"?

"Because dogs and horses are familiar to people, they often appear in front of people. As long as you make a little mistake, you will be found out and point out the problem, so it is difficult to draw, especially dogs and horses in motion, because they are both tangible and intangible. As for ghosts, no one has ever seen them, and there is no definite shape or clear appearance. Then I can draw whatever I want. After painting, no one can prove that it doesn't look like a ghost, so it's easy to draw a ghost without blowing off dust. "

The painter's words prove that if there are no specific objective standards, it is easy for people to "derail" and "opportunistic". Idealism is the most labor-saving, because it has not been tested by objective reality and can talk nonsense, while materialism has been tested by objective reality, so it takes a lot of time.
