The idioms "to dance at the sound of the rooster" and "to strike the oars" both came from the stories of ancient Chinese generals. " Dancing at the sound of the rooster " came from the Biography of Zu Ti in the Book of Jin, which recorded a story of Zu Ti when he was young. It was said that Zu Ti's family was poor at that time, but he liked military adventures and physical training very much. One day, he saw a rooster crowing in the tree and immediately got up to dance with his sword to imitate the rooster's crowing sound to motivate himself. The story of Jiang Wei, the general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, was recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was said that Jiang Wei was trapped in a water current after he failed in a battle against Cao Wei at the border of Shu Han. He realized that if he couldn't escape, he would face death, so he immediately waved his sword and decided to continue fighting. These two idioms both express the spirit of striving for progress and advancing courageously, as well as the courage to face difficulties and setbacks and the indomitable attitude.
