Published: March 12, 2023, 2:28 p.m.

b"I don't do this too often but I'm featuring this week's Chinese Sayings Podcast in the CHP feed. Firstly this is a tale rooted in 7th century BC Spring and Autumn history. But also, just in case you never heard of this other show of mine, I wanted to introduce it to you. You can find the Chinese Sayings Podcast wherever you find the CHP.\\nHere comes one more textbook chengyu from the Spring and Autumn Period, as written by Master Zuo Qiuming \\u5de6\\u4e18\\u660e himself: \\u5389\\u5175\\u79e3\\u9a6c L\\xec B\\u012bng M\\xf2 M\\u01ce. Lots of marquee names from that exciting time, including Duke Mu of Qin and Duke Wen of Jin. Be sure to check out the teacup.media website for a handy downloadable cheat sheet listing all the Chinese names and terms. This one has a fair number of characters and place names. The kind of inter-kingdom rivalries that were one of the hallmarks of the Eastern Zhou are front and center in this 7th-century BC tale. This is a good Chinese Saying that has a few useful applications in real life. Thanks for listening.\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices"
