Smith told the story that the tiger wanted to eat the fox, and the fox used his cleverness and cunning to scare away all the animals in the forest. Here, the fox's cleverness reflects the tiger's fatuity and incompetence. He can't find out the truth, but he is confused by the appearance that the fox scares away all animals.
From the fox's point of view, it does not have the power to scare away all animals, but relies on the power of tigers to scare away all animals. The fox represents a deceitful, hypocritical and fragile person.
Although Smith came from "The Warring States Policy Chu Ce I", he thought that the vassal was afraid of the shirt, but told King Jing that the vassal was actually afraid of the king's army. This suggestion made it easier for King Xuan Jing to understand the situation at that time, and the tiger was the king of all animals, which was consistent with King Xuan Jing's position.
At first, Smith criticized the cunning fox for lying, treachery, boasting and bullying. Paper tigers like this, without backers, are very weak and fragile. Later, people also reflected from the perspective of the tiger. The tiger gives the fox an opportunity, but it also has unshirkable responsibilities, such as being unconscious, unable to check, unable to distinguish between authenticity and falsehood, and being easily deceived.
