Idiom usage

Example: biography of Zhongshan Ying in the book of Wei: "there is a common way for a country to take advantage of chaos and invade and perish; Chen Shiju's journey is due to opportunity." Hong Rengan, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, wrote: "when wise men approach, they will be at the meeting where they are going to invade and perish. They will cut off the hair of their parents and destroy my ancient clothes." In the compendium of reference materials for the history of modern Chinese thought, refuting the theory that revolution can be called to divide up, it is said that "those who want to perish their country should make a frank declaration and say to the public that" they are weak at the same time to attack barbarism and take advantage of chaos to invade their country ". They have to be embarrassed and ask for excuses."
