There is a slaughter of people, goods, and meat and what does it mean?

"There are butchers and meat returns" comes from the classical Chinese "Wolf One of the Wolves", which is translated: There is a butcher who returns home after selling meat, and it is already twilight. Suddenly a wolf appeared, and the wolf peered at the meat on the burden, as if it was about to drool out, and followed the butcher for miles.

The butcher was frightened, so he showed the wolf with his butcher's knife, and the wolf flinched a little, but when the butcher went on his way, the wolf followed. The butcher had no choice, so he thought to himself that what the wolf wanted was meat, so it would be better to hang it on the tree (so that the wolf could not reach it) and wait until tomorrow morning (when the wolf was gone) to get the meat. So he hung the meat on the hook, stood on tiptoe and hung it on the tree, and showed the wolf the empty burden.

The wolf stopped (and stopped following the butcher). The butcher went home (safely).

At dawn the next day, when the butcher went to fetch the meat (where it had been hung yesterday), he saw in the distance a huge thing hanging from the tree, as if a man had been hanged from the tree, and [the butcher] was astonished. [He] cautiously wandered closer to the tree, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a dead wolf. [The butcher] looked up and looked closely, and saw that the wolf had meat in its mouth, and the hook on the meat pierced the roof of the wolf's jaw, as if a fish had bitten the bait.

At that time, wolf skins were (very) expensive on the market, and (this wolf skin) was worth more than a dozen taels of silver, and the butcher's life was slightly easier.

It's like climbing a tree to catch fish, the wolf wanted to eat meat, but it ended up in disaster, which is ridiculous!

Wolf One of them has slaughtered people and returned to the meat, the sun is twilight, a wolf comes, looks at the meat on the shoulder, seems to be very coveted, and follows the tail for several miles. Slaughter fear, show it with a blade, but less; and go, and from there. There is no plan to slaughter, and the meat of the wolf is better than hanging on the trees and taking it as soon as possible.

Then hook the flesh, hang it between the trees, and show it as an empty burden. The wolf stops. Tugui.

Ambiguous, to take the meat, looking at the huge objects hanging on the trees, like a person hanged to death. Shocked, patrolling and short-sighted, then the dead wolf is also. Looking up and examining it carefully, he saw that the wolf had meat in its mouth, and the hook pierced the wolf's palate, like a fish swallowing bait.

When the wolf skin was expensive, it was more than ten gold, and Tu Xiaoyuyan was slaughtered. The edge of the wood begs for fish, and the wolf suffers, which is ridiculous.

1. Translation: A butcher returns home after selling meat, and it is getting late. At this moment, a wolf suddenly appeared.

The wolf peeped at the meat on the butcher's load, and the saliva in his mouth seemed to be about to come out, and he followed the butcher for miles. The butcher was frightened, so he showed the wolf with his butcher's knife, and the wolf flinched a little, but when the butcher went on his way, the wolf followed. The butcher had no choice, so he thought to himself that what the wolf wanted was meat, so it would be better to hang it on the tree (so that the wolf could not reach it) and wait until tomorrow morning (when the wolf was gone) to get the meat.

So he hung the meat on the hook, stood on tiptoe and hung it on the tree, and showed the wolf the empty burden. The wolf stopped (and stopped following the butcher). The butcher returned home safely.

At dawn the next day, the butcher went to the place where the meat had been hung yesterday to fetch it, and when he saw a huge thing hanging from the tree, as if a man had been hanged from the tree, the butcher was astonished. He cautiously wandered around the tree to get closer to the tree, and when he got closer, he saw a dead wolf hanging from the tree. The butcher looked up and saw that the wolf had meat in its mouth, and the hook on which the meat hung had pierced the roof of the wolf's palate, as if a fish had bitten the bait.

Tugui. Ambiguous, to take the meat, looking at the huge hunger on the tree, like a person hanged to death. Shocked, short-sighted.

, then the dead wolf also. Looking up and examining it carefully, he saw that the wolf had meat in its mouth, and the hook pierced the wolf's palate, like a fish swallowing bait. When the wolf skin was expensive, it was more than ten gold, and Tu Xiaoyuyan was slaughtered. The edge of the wood begs for fish, and the wolf suffers, which is ridiculous.

A long, long time ago, a butcher came back from selling meat, and it was getting late. On his way home, a wolf suddenly appeared. The wolf kept peeking at the meat in the butcher's burden, and the saliva in his mouth seemed to be about to come out, so he followed the butcher for several miles.

The butcher was frightened, so he took the butcher's knife and shook it in front of the wolf, trying to scare the wolf away. The wolf saw the butcher's knife and was at first startled and took a few steps back, but when the butcher turned around and continued walking, the wolf followed. So the butcher thought that the wolf wanted the meat in the burden, and that it would be better to hang it on the tree and come back tomorrow morning to get it.

So the butcher hung the meat on the hook and showed the wolf the empty burden. In this way, the wolf stopped and stopped following the butcher. And the butcher went home.

At dawn the next day, when the butcher went to fetch the meat, he saw in the distance a huge thing hanging from the tree, like a man hanging from the tree, and he was very frightened. Anxiously wandering around the tree, he approached the tree, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a dead wolf. [The butcher] looked up and looked closely, and saw that the wolf had meat in its mouth, and the hook on which the meat had pierced the roof of the wolf's jaw, as if a fish had bitten the hook.

At that time, wolf skins were very expensive on the market, and a wolf skin was worth more than a dozen taels of silver. So the butcher got this wolf skin and made a small fortune. Climb the tree to find the fishhook, what happened to the wolf is too sad!
