Ancient prose: What is the enlightenment from buying ducks to catch rabbits? (Written by Su Shi)

"Duck catches rabbit" is a joke based on the idiom "Rabbit rises and falls". In this paper, the anthropomorphic method is used to explain the truth of "making the best use of people and things" through a conversation with hunters. When selecting talents, we must avoid their shortcomings and use their strengths. Otherwise, just like the hunter described in this article, not only can't catch rabbits, but also the ducks are wasted.

The article describes the shape of a duck, which is humorous, interesting and vivid. The word "staggering" is used to describe the way ducks stagger when walking, which not only shows the physical characteristics of ducks, but also shows that they are not cut out for catching rabbits. The personification language of ducks is used to show that it is not used rationally, but it is eaten and thrown away, which is a little angry. When the duck knew that the hunter knew nothing about the stork and had no intention of making it suffer, he turned joy into joy, raised his generous palm and told a joke. Through these humorous songs of ducks, silk flower in the open harbor, etc., the author satirizes the hunter in good faith and persuades him to attack funny language.
