Two Chinese texts

Boya Drumming the Harp

Bo Ya drummed his zither, and Zhong Ziqi listened to him. He said, "The zither is so good that it is as lofty as Mount Tai". When he was between the less selective and his ambition was to play in the flowing water, Zhong Ziqi said again: "Good is the drumming of the qin, which is like flowing water.'' When Zhong Ziqi died, Boya broke his zither and stopped playing, and never played the zither again, thinking that there was no one in the world who could play the zither again.

Painting a Bull by Dai Song

There was a scholar in Shu who was good at painting and calligraphy, and he had hundreds of treasures. He had a painting of a bull by Dai Song, which he loved, and he often kept it in a jade bag. One day when he exposed the painting and calligraphy, a shepherd boy saw it and said with a big smile on his face: "This is a painting of a fighting bull! Bull fighting power in the horns, tail convulsions into the two shares. Now is to drop the tail and fight, false!" The virtuoso laughed and was right. The old saying: "When plowing when asking the slave, weaving when asking the maid." Can not be changed.
