4. Buy bamboo slips and return pearls. Han Feichu once sold his pearls to Zheng, Mulan's cabinet, decorated with cinnamon, beaded with jade, decorated with roses and decorated with jade. Zheng bought his own bamboo slips and returned pearls.
This can be said to be selling bamboo slips (pronounced du, box), but not pearls (pronounced Yu, four tones). There is a Chu man who sells beads in Zheng State. He made a box out of magnolia wood, scented it with cinnamon and pepper (spices), decorated it with pearls and jadeite, inlaid with roses (red jadeite) and inlaid with jadeite at the edge of the box. Zheng bought his box, but returned the pearls to him.
This is really good at selling boxes, not pearls. Feeling: labor creates wealth! This shows the value of wisdom and labor creation.
Why care if he sells beads! Just like today's fashion products can match the value of their fabrics? .

A man from the State of Chu went to the State of Zheng to sell his treasure beads. He made a box with magnolia flowers (used to hold treasure beads), scented it with cinnamon and pepper (and other spices), decorated it with pearls (treasures) and jade (stones), and decorated it with emerald. As a result, Zheng's people bought his box, but returned his orb. This (a Chu man) can be said to sell boxes, but it can't be said that (he) can sell pearls!
Revelation: Zheng people only pay attention to the appearance and ignore the essence, which makes him make an improper choice and leads to the failure to see the importance of the orb. The "over-packaging" of the Chu people is also ridiculous.
6. A businessman in the State of Chu sold his pearls to people in the State of Zheng. (Jewelry) is packed in wooden boxes of magnolia trees, smoked with cinnamon peppers, decorated with (exquisite) pearl jade, decorated with jewelry and decorated with kingfisher feathers. Zheng's men bought the box, but returned the jewels to the merchant. This can be said to be good at selling boxes, but it cannot be said to be good at selling pearls. The Chu people stood there awkwardly with the returned pearls. He thought others would appreciate his pearls, but he didn't expect the exquisite outer packaging to exceed the value in the box, so that "a presumptuous guest usurps the host's role" made the Chu people laugh and cry.
Zheng people only pay attention to appearance and ignore essence, which makes him make improper choices. And Truman's "over-packaging"
