楚国人准备偷袭宋国，进军的线路是打算渡过澭河抄近道走，以便趁宋国人在没有防备的状况下一举获胜。
楚国经过周密谋划，先派人到澭河边测量好水的深浅，并在水浅的地方设置了标记，以便偷袭宋国的大部队能沿着标记顺利渡河。
不料，澭河水突然大涨，而楚国人并不明白这个状况。部队在经过澭河的时候依然照着原先作的标记渡河。加上又是夜间，结果，士兵、马匹大批地进入深水、漩涡，使楚军措手不及。他们被湍急的澭河水搅得人仰马翻、惊骇不已。漆黑中，澭水里人喊马嘶、一片混乱，简直像数不清的房屋在倒塌一般。就这样，楚国军队被淹死1000多人，侥幸没死的也无法前进，只好无功而返。
先前，楚国人在设置标记的时候，当然是正确的。如果河水不涨，他们是能够依照标记渡河的。但是之后，状况变了，由于河水暴涨，水位升高了许多，而楚国人在不了解变化的状况下仍按原先的线路渡河，当然只能惨败。
状况是在不断变化的，人的认识也就应随着客观状况的发展变化而变化。人们务必随时根据新状况采取相应的措施，否则就会吃亏、跌跤。

When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.

一天，笔盒里传来了吵闹声，原来是铅笔和笔擦吵得很激烈。
铅笔气呼呼地说：“每次我写出来的漂亮的字都被你擦没了，凭什么?”笔擦也生气了，大声地说：“没有我帮你擦掉错字，小主人会拿你撒气，把你扔掉的。”铅笔不服气，说：“不可能，我们走着瞧!”
后来，铅笔写字的时候，一有错字，笔擦就不肯帮忙，本子上的错字越来越多。小主人生气了，真的把铅笔扔掉了。这时，笔擦拉住铅笔说：“你看，我们各有各的用处吧。”铅笔脸红了，感到很不好意思，后悔当初没听笔擦的话。

有三个从外地来的商人都在同一个集市上卖药材。第一位药材商专门从产地购进货真质优的上等药材，根据进价定售价，差价不大，从不谋取暴利。按理说，这种诚实商人就应先富起来，可他的生意萧条，铺面冷清，只有少数知根底的人来买他的药，只能勉强维持生计。
第二位药材商对质优质劣的药材都收购进来，售价随顾客的意愿而定，出价高就给优等品，出价低就给劣等货。因为选取余地较大，利润有大有小，所以生意总的说来还比较好，综合效益还比较可观。于是，两年以后，这位药商成了一名殷实的小财主。
第三位药材商则专门去超多收购价廉质劣的药材，然后略作加工，再换上精美的包装，俨然是一种名牌精品的派头，可售价并不比另两家高多少，有时顾客还价或者添加一点的要求往往也能得到满足。因为“一个便宜三个爱”，外观也挺有档次，经营也灵活，所以许多人都争先恐后地来买药，生意总是个性兴隆，从不愁销路。不到两年，这位商人大发起来，成了远近闻名的一个大富翁。
这个故事说明不同的经营之道有不同的结果。第一位药商可贵，第二位药商可叹，第三位药商则可耻。不仅仅在市场，而且在其他方面都应当一要诚实、二要灵活、三要不断改善。

春秋时期，俞伯牙擅长于弹奏琴弦，钟子期擅长于听音辨意。有次，伯牙来到泰山（今武汉市汉阳龟山）北面游览时，突然遇到了暴雨，只好滞留在岩石之下，心里寂寞忧伤，便拿出随身带的古琴弹了起来。刚开始，他弹奏了反映连绵大雨的琴曲；之后，他又演奏了山崩似的乐音。恰在此时，樵夫钟子期忍不住在临近的一丛野菊后叫道：“好曲！真是好曲！”原先，在山上砍柴的钟子期也正在附近躲雨，听到伯牙弹琴，不觉心旷神怡，在一旁早已聆听多时了，听到高潮时便情不自禁地发出了由衷的赞赏。
俞伯牙听到赞语，赶紧起身和钟子期打过招呼，便又继续弹了起来。伯牙凝神于高山，赋意在曲调之中，钟子期在一旁听后频频点头：“好啊，巍巍峨峨，真像是一座高峻无比的山啊！”伯牙又沉思于流水，隐情在旋律之外，钟子期听后，又在一旁击掌称绝：“妙啊，浩浩荡荡，就如同江河奔流一样呀！”伯牙每奏一支琴曲，钟子期就能完全听出它的意旨和情趣，这使得伯牙惊喜异常。他放下了琴，叹息着说：“好呵！好呵！您的听音、辨向、明义的功夫实在是太高明了，您所说的跟我心里想的真是完全一样，我的琴声怎能逃过您的耳朵呢？”
二人于是结为知音，并约好第二年再相会论琴。但是第二年伯牙来会钟子期时，得知钟子期不久前已经因病去世。俞伯牙痛惜伤感，难以用语言表达，于是就摔破了自己从不离身的古琴，从此不再抚弦弹奏，以谢平生难得的知音。
这个故事告诉我们：人之相知，贵在知心。

魏国都城大梁以北的黎丘乡，经常有爱装扮成乡人子侄兄弟的鬼怪出没。有一天，家住黎丘农村的一位老人在集市上喝了酒，醉醺醺地往家走，在半路上碰到了装做自己儿子模样的黎丘鬼怪。那鬼怪一边假惺惺地搀扶老人，一边左推右晃，让老人一路上受够了罪。老人回到家里以后，不脱鞋、合着衣，倒在床上就睡着了。
第二天，老人酒醒之后，想起自己醉酒回家时在路上吃的苦头，把儿子狠狠训斥了一顿。他气愤地对儿子说：“我是你的父亲，你有孝敬我的义务。但是昨日你在路上让我吃尽了苦头。我问你，这究竟是因为我平日对你不够慈爱，还是因为你生了别的什么坏心？”
老人的儿子一听这话，像是在晴天里听见一声霹雳。这到底是哪来的事呢？老人的儿子感到十分委屈。他悲哀地落着泪、磕着头，对父亲叹息地说：“这真是作孽呵！我哪能对您做这种不仁不义的事呢？昨日您出门不久，我就到东乡找人收债去了。您从集市走回家的那一阵子，我还在东乡办事。您如果不相信，能够到东乡去问一问。”
老人明白自己的儿子素来诚实、孝顺，因此相信了他的话。但是那个长得很像自己儿子的人到底是谁呢？老人想着想着，一转念记起了黎丘鬼怪。他恍然大悟地说：“对了，必须是人们常说的那个鬼怪作的孽！”说到那里，老人忽然心生一计。他打算次日先到集市上喝个烂醉，然后趁着酒兴在回家的路上刺***那个黎丘鬼怪。
次日早晨，老人在集市上又喝醉了酒。他一个人跌跌撞撞地往回走。他的儿子因为担心父亲在外醉酒回不了家，正好在这个时候从家里出来，沿着通往集市的那条路去接父亲。老人远远望见儿子向自己走来，以为又是上次碰到的那个鬼怪。等他的儿子走近的时候，老人拔剑刺了过去。这位老人由于被貌似自己儿子的鬼怪所迷惑，最终竟误***了自己的亲生儿子。
看来，当人们不辨真伪时，欺诈的鬼蜮伎俩容易得逞，而善良诚实反遭戕害，真是可悲呀。
