Today`s Chengyu 刻舟求剑 (kè zhōu qiú jiàn) – to carve (刻) the boat (舟) to seek (求) for the sword (剑) - enlightens us that things are changing, and we should see the world in the light of its development. As the world is changing, getting stuck in a groove is foredoomed to result in failure. Furthermore, it is crucial for a country to embrace reform and innovation by adapting itself to changing circumstances. A man from the state of Chu was crossing a river. In the boat, his sword fell into the water because of his carelessness. Immediately he carved a mark on the gunwale of the boat and said to himself： “This is where my sword fell off.” The boat sailed for a long time before it pulled in shore. Without a hurry, the man jumped into the river from the place where he made the mark. He searched for a long time, but in vain. The boat had moved a long way from where the sword fell. How can anyone find the sword in this foolish way? How to use 刻舟求剑: 你总是用老方法解决新问题，和刻舟求剑有什么不同？ (nǐ zǒnɡshì yònɡ lǎofānɡfǎ jiějué xīnwèntí, hé kèzhōuqiújiàn yǒu shénme bùtónɡ) You always solve new problems with old solutions. You are no different form “Carving on a moving boat”! 在社会的高速发展中，每个行业都不能刻舟求剑。 (zài shèhuìde ɡāosù fāzhǎnzhōnɡ, měiɡè hánɡyè dōu bùnénɡ kèzhōuqiújiàn) With the speedy development of the society, “Carving on a Moving Boat” won’t work in any fields.
