【Idiom Story】:

According to legend, more than 4,000 years ago, it was the Xia Dynasty in history; The emperor at that time was the famous Dayu.

Once, the princes had the Hu clan to invade, Xia Yu sent Bo Qi to resist, but Bo Qi was defeated, and his subordinates were very unwilling, so they unanimously asked for another battle. Bo Qi said: "There is no need to fight anymore. My soldiers and horses and territory are not small, and I even suffered defeat in the end, which shows that my virtue is worse than his, and the methods under the Ministry of Education are not as good as his. So I have to examine myself first and try to correct my faults. From then on, Bo Qi was indignant, got up at dawn every day to work, lived a simple life, cherished the people, and respected the virtuous people. After a year like this, the Hu clan knew, not only did they not dare to invade, but they willingly surrendered and submitted.

This is a very interesting story, which tells us that no matter what we do, we should first ask ourselves, find out our own shortcomings, and strive to correct them, only with this attitude can we do things well, and those who can do this, we say that they can "turn to themselves".

Although this is only a short four words, it can be used as a golden rule for our self-cultivation, not only can we use it to reflect on ourselves, but also can use it to exhort others, which must be of great help to our own conduct and behavior.
