What do you mean by confession?

Pretending to be a snake means being attentive and perfunctory to others.

It is an idiom in China, which originated from the Emperor of Zhuangzi. This idiom means insincere and perfunctory to people; Generally, it is used as predicate, object and attribute in sentences. This is a story told by the Emperor of Zhuangzi. During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a very powerful wizard named Ji Xian in the state of Zheng. He knew life and death, good or bad luck.

The predicted year, month, ten-day and day came true accurately, as if they were gods. When Zheng's people saw him, they were all worried that he would run away in a hurry to predict his death and fierce disaster. Liezi was impressed when he saw him. When he came back, he told his teacher nothing about what he saw and said, "At first, I always thought my husband's way was the most profound, but now there is more profound witchcraft."

The pot said, "I taught you all the external things of Tao, but I didn't teach you the essence of Tao." Have you reached the Tao? " You compare yourself with other people in the world with what you have learned, and you are bent on winning the trust of others, letting people see the details and visiting your fortune for you. How to do this? You try to come with him and ask him to show me the photos, and you will know. "

The next day, Liezi and the wizard Ji Xian visited the pot together. When Ji Xian went back, he said to Liezi as soon as he went out, "Ah! Your husband is dying! I won't live long, I will die in less than ten days! I observed his strange appearance before he died. He looked like ashes in the water. " Fierce son returned to the room, tears wet her skirt, and sadly told the pot what Jixian had said.
