5. Reading perceptions
Virtuous and talented people are often envied and hurt. Handsome, kind-hearted, and talented at beating drums, Adet is adored by the girls in town. His excellence was jealous of the other young people, who even wanted to kill him. If it weren't for his mother, he would have died.
An excellent person must know how to keep a low profile and hide, and don't let his excellence become an obstacle for others, otherwise he will be excluded and suppressed.
In order for a person to succeed, he needs to remain calm, not to reveal his true intentions, to use appearances to deceive others like Adett's mother, and then use stratagems to achieve his goals.
Zhuge Liang, who borrowed arrows from the grass boat, was such a hidden intention, using stratagem to crack Zhou Yu's conspiracy to harm him.
