    The Fox Borrows the Tiger

    Still said today
    狐假虎威hú jiǎ hǔ wēi
    “The fox borrows the tiger's majesty.” Anyone acting big on borrowed power: the aide who wields the boss's name.
    Pattern

    Before you fear anyone, check who is standing behind them.

    Field report

    Subject, a fox, was observed walking one pace ahead of a tiger through the hunting grounds. All beasts fled. The tiger, following, concluded the fear was of the fox and released it. The fox had promised nothing it owned.

    the tiger never checked. they never check. -R

    Three Men, One Tiger

    WEI STATION · REIGN OF KING HUI (370-319 BC)
    Still said today
    三人成虎sān rén chéng hǔ
    “Three men make a tiger.” A lie repeated enough becomes fact.
    Pattern

    Count the mouths, not the tigers — three reports of nothing is still nothing.

    Field report

    Subject, a minister of Wei, ran the test on King Hui before departing for Handan: one report of a tiger in the market — disbelieved; two — doubt; three — believed. Subject noted there was plainly no tiger and asked the king to remember it. Upon return the king declined to receive him. The gate stayed closed until the king's death.

    Index entry — flagged: the omen predates the incident

    一簧兩舌,妄言謬語。三姸成虎,曾母投杼。

    One reed, two tongues, wild words and lies: three made the tiger, and Zeng's mother dropped her shuttle.

    who counted the mouths? the Index already had. -R

    Legs on a Snake

    CHU STATION · c. 323 BC
    Still said today
    畫蛇添足huà shé tiān zú
    “Drawing legs on a snake.” Ruining finished work by adding to it.
    Pattern

    Finished means stop — every addition after done is a way to lose.

    Field report

    Retainers of a Chu temple steward drew snakes in the dust for a single jug of wine. The first to finish, unchallenged, added feet to his. The second to finish drank the jug, on the grounds that no snake has feet. The first finisher's name does not survive; the feet do.

    Index entry — flagged: the omen predates the incident

    心多恨悔,出門見怪;有虵三足,醜聲可惡。嫫母為媒,請求不得。

    A heart full of regret steps out and meets the omen: a snake with three feet, ugly of name and hateful.

    he finished first. that was the whole prize. -R
