The origin of Idioms

Zhao Ye, Han Dynasty, wrote in the spring and Autumn Annals of Wu and Yue, the legend of Gou Jian's Conspiracy: "a filial son can't bear to see his parents being eaten by animals, so he pretends to play to protect them, so as to avoid the harm of animals and birds. So the song says, "cut off the bamboo, continue the bamboo, and fly to the land to kill."
