Classical Chinese writing in which donkey saddle replaces chin
A man in Lingxian came to the market with money and silk. A street rogue thought he was mentally retarded. Seeing that his jaw was longer than the average person, he grabbed him and asked, "Why did you steal my donkey saddle as a chin?" Still clamoring to send him to the government for punishment. The person holding the money silk said that it would be a good thing to promise to give it to that person as the price of the donkey saddle.
When he came home empty-handed, his wife asked him where he had put the money and silk, and he told the story in detail. His wife scolded him and said, "You are such a fool! What kind of donkey saddle can be used as a chin? Even if you go to the government, it will be a matter of a few words. How can you give him such precious things as money and silk for nothing? " The man complained to his wife, "You are such an idiot! What if an irresponsible master wants to take off his chin for inspection? Isn't my mouth more important than a little money? "

2. Zhang Kun Saddle's original answer in classical Chinese.
Zhang Kun in the Tang Dynasty was the captain of Heyang. A guest donkey broke his reins and lost his saddle for three days, but he couldn't get it back. Yixian reported it. Thrushcross was eager to push the poor, so he let the donkey out at night and hid the saddle. Huang Li said, "I know that." So he ordered the donkey not to be fed and let it go. When the donkey looks for a feeding place, it looks for its home and gets it under the grass. People are subject to their wisdom.

Zhang Kun of the Tang Dynasty was appointed as the county magistrate of Heyang. Someone broke the reins of the donkey, and it disappeared with the saddle. After searching for three days, I still couldn't find it, so I reported it to the county government. Zhang Kun rushed after him, and at night (the thief) let the donkey go, but he still hid the saddle. Zhang Kun said, "Now we can know." He ordered not to feed the donkey, untied the reins and let it go. The donkey searched the house for the place where he fed last night, and found the donkey saddle under the haystack. People admire his originality.

4. cherish the donkey's saddle. There was a man who was rich but stingy. He is careful all day and spends half a penny. Later, I was too old to walk, so I bought a donkey as a means of transportation. I cherish it very much, not because I am too tired to ride, so donkeys seldom carry old people.
It's very hot in summer, because I have to walk a long way, so I brought a donkey. The old man was tired halfway, so he rode a donkey for two or three miles, but the donkey didn't often take people, so he was tired. The old man jumped off the donkey and untied his saddle. The donkey thought he could finally have a rest, so he leisurely turned around and went back the same way. The old man hurried after him, but the donkey ignored him and the old man couldn't catch him.
The old man thought no, in case the donkey he finally paid for died in a car accident, but the saddle was not given when he bought it, so the old man put on his saddle and hurried home. When I got home, I asked, "Can my donkey come back?" His son said, "I came back early." The old man was relieved. Only then did I put down my saddle. As soon as I relaxed, I began to feel pain in my feet and back. It was a hot summer, and I was still ill for several months.

6. Translation of Classical Chinese: Peter takes me as his way, and now he has taken off his saddle to show that he will never give up. The enemy of the other side may think that I am going to retreat, so I took off my saddle to show that I am not ready to retreat. Convince the enemy that I won't retreat.
1, Lu should be "human".
2. Peter Lu gave it to me, which means "thinking".
3, take me as the walk, this action should mean "preparation"
4, when "retreat, escape". But here, of course, the host can use tricks to disturb the enemy. I feel that the way to retreat is more accurate.
In addition, it is used to strengthen one's point of view, if it is directly translated as "strengthen one's point of view." This view should refer to the trick of confusing the enemy in the second sentence by making him think that we will not retreat if we disturb him. However, the author can't subjectively confirm the effect of this practice. And the enemy's opinion should be the first expression. In order to make the sentence coherent, the meanings of "Yao" and "Ke Xiang" in the first sentence are put forward.
I don't know if I understand it correctly. I hope the master of Chinese studies has a relatively standard answer.
