The discussion may not be effective, and the result depends on your own judgment.

Old people and experts may not know everything.

The historical development of fables;

The word "Fable" first appeared in Zhuangzi Fable, which is a very old literary genre. As early as the 6th century BC, there were many fables in Greece, India and China. For example, Aesop's Fables in the west and the Buddhist classic Hundred Similes Classic were all well-known literary works. The Warring States period in the second century BC was the golden age of fable creation, with a hundred schools of thought contending and a large number of philosophical fables created. You can see many fables in Xunzi, Mozi and Han Feizi. There are about 200 fables in Zhuangzi, which is the representative of the fables in the Warring States Period.

It was popular as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in China. It is a folk oral creation. In hundred schools of thought's works in the pre-Qin period, fables were often used to explain the truth, and many excellent fables that were popular at that time were kept, such as: death, angry chickens, breeding seedlings to promote growth, contradictions, Zheng people buying shoes, waiting for rabbits, carving boats for swords, gilding the lily and so on. Among them, Zhuangzi and some writers after the Han and Wei Dynasties often use fables to satirize reality in their creation. Liu Zongyuan wrote prose with fables in Tang Dynasty. In "Three Commandments", he used the stories of three animals, such as elk, donkey and mouse, to satirize those who are arrogant, blind and complacent by keeping pets, and achieved profound results. Modern writers in China also create fables, especially children's literature.

It tells a short story, but in the specific plot, it implies deeper thinking, often with puns, to explain philosophy and confirm ideas. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this narrative method was often used by pre-Qin philosophers and historical biographies as a means to explain things.

Since fable became an independent style, it has shown its unique literary significance. The story of the famous "He Shi Bi" is tortuous and touching; Zao Fu Yu Ma depicts Zao Fu as the best defender of dictatorship. Zheng Xiu's "Zheng Xiu's Beauty Nose" is ingenious, eloquent and vicious, with twists and turns, just like a short story and vivid characters. To quote Mr. Gong Mu: "One of the most obvious features of The Fables of Han Feizi is that it comprehensively and systematically reflects Han Feizi's historical view, social view, literary view, methodology and epistemology. It can be said that reading Han Feizi's fables is almost equivalent to reading a collection of legalist thoughts.
