【Idiom Story】:

In the Spring and Autumn Period, King Chuping killed the minister Wu Hao, and pursued Wu Hao's second son, Wu Yuan. When the soldiers got the news of the murder, they immediately disguised themselves and went straight to Zhaoguan, preparing to go to Wu State. However, Zhaoguan was already heavily guarded, and the soldiers could not get out. When the soldiers were cornered, they happened to meet their father's good friend Dong Gaogong. The soldiers couldn't eat at the Donggao Gong's house, couldn't sleep, and stayed up all night until their hair was completely white. Later, with the help of Donggao Gong, the soldiers were finally mixed out of the pass by him.

The soldier fled to a large river, and he hid in the reeds for fear of his pursuers. After a while, he saw a fishing boat coming up the water, and hurriedly shouted, "Fisherman, fisherman, cross me quickly!" When the fisherman saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, he asked him for his real name, and the soldier told him the truth. The fisherman was very sympathetic to him, not only helped him cross the river, but also brought him wheat rice and fish soup to eat.

Someone in the Tang Dynasty wrote "Wu Zixu's Changing Text", which used wind and grass, even if it was hidden, to describe the scene when he fled.

The idiom is that the wind blows the grass, and when the wind blows slightly, the grass shakes. A metaphor for a little movement, a slight upheaval or change.
