During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Guan Ju, who was diligent and witty since childhood and only loved astronomy. At the age of fifteen, I became familiar with Zhouyi and divination, and gradually became famous. After a long time, this matter reached the ears of the official department's minister Yanhe and assistant minister Deng Kui. This day happens to be the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The two officials were bored after eating and drinking enough, so they sent someone to call Guan Lu for divination. Guan Zhi had long heard that these two men were confidants of Cao Cao's grandnephew Cao Shuang, and they used their power to run amok and had a bad reputation. He thought for a while and wanted to take this opportunity to teach them a good lesson and destroy their prestige. As soon as he saw Guan Ju, he shouted, "I heard that your divination is very effective. Hurry up and calculate my divination and see if I can get promoted and make a fortune. Besides, I dreamed that flies always stung my nose these nights. What is the omen? Guan Ju thought about it and said, "In the past, the Duke of Zhou was honest and clean, helping Zhou Chengwang to build a country, making the country prosperous and the people safe;" Now your status is higher than that of Duke Zhou, but few people are grateful to you and many are afraid of you. This may not be a good sign. Your dream is measured by divination, and it is also a disgrace! "Guan Ju went on to say:" If you want to turn disasters into blessings, eliminate disasters and take refuge, you can only follow the example of the sages such as Zhou Gong, be kind to others and do good deeds. Yi Deng was very disapproving and shook his head again and again and said, "These are all cliches and meaningless." (This is a cliche. ") and was livid, saying nothing. When Guan Yu saw it, he laughed: "Although it is a cliche, you can't underestimate it! A little while later, the New Year arrived, and suddenly the newspaper, Deng Kui and Cao Shuang conspired to kill each other. After Guan Ju knew it, he repeatedly said, "They ignored the cliche, no wonder it ended like this!" ("Those old people can't see life, and those who often can't see Tan. " )

It can't be written as a cliche, but because Guan Ju's original text is "Old people can't see life, old people can't see life." Therefore, idioms can also be used as "platitudes".
