【Idiom Story】:

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the small Zheng State was located between the two great powers of Jin and Chu. The Jin State in the north and the Chu State in the south had great contradictions in order to compete for the Zheng State. Zheng Guo was afraid of the Chu State and did not dare to offend the Jin State, and the situation was very difficult.

"Zuo Chuan: The Twelfth Year of Xuan Gong" records: In the spring of that year, the state of Chu attacked Zheng State, and Zheng State could not resist it, so he had to ask for peace with Chu State. When the Jin State got the news, he immediately sent troops to resist Chu and rescue Zheng, with the purpose of winning Zheng over and making him join the Jin State. However, the Jin army had not yet crossed the Yellow River, Zheng Guo had already succumbed, and the Chu army was ready to return to the division in victory. Some generals such as Xun Linfu, the chief general of the Chinese army of the Jin army, advocated stopping the march. However, the deputy general of the Chinese army, Xian Jie, and some other generals disagreed, so a dispute broke out.

The Jin army was temporarily stationed between Ao and Yan Ershan. Zheng Guo sent people to the Jin military camp to declare: "We, Zheng Guo, sued for peace with Chu State, but it is only to avoid the destruction of the country, and there is no intention of being unfriendly to Jin State. He also said: "The Chu army won the victory easily, so it was proud, and the troops relaxed their guard." If you take advantage of this pursuit, plus us to help in the battle, you will definitely be able to defeat the Chu army. Xian Ji said happily: "That's right, it's time to defeat the Chu army and recapture Zheng Guo!" Luan Shu, the deputy general of the lower army, said: "No, the state of Chu often admonishes the military and people of the whole country to carry forward the spirit of their ancestors' 'blue wisps of the road and open the mountains and forests', build the country with diligence and thrift, and work hard." What reason is there to say that they are proud and let their guard down? Moreover, Zheng Guo persuaded us to attack the Chu army, but in fact, he was not really towards us. If we win, he will certainly curry favor with us, but if the Chu army wins, he will not surrender to Chu again. How can we trust Zheng Guo's words? ”

What does it mean in the above passage of Luanshu's words, "the road is blue, and the mountains and forests are enlightened"? It is a wattle, bamboo, twigs, etc.; The road, the same as the "chariot", is the big car. The road is a cart made of wattle bamboo branches, or a firewood cart; Blue wisps, i.e. "ragged", tattered clothes. To open is to open. This sentence is to say, driving a firewood cart and wearing rags to develop barren mountains and forests. According to legend, the state of Chu was founded in such a spirit.

To describe the frugal entrepreneurial life and the spirit of hard work, you can use "the blue thread of the road".
