The Spring and Autumn Period : give way to somebody to avoid a conflict 退避三舍

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Xian of Jin listened to slanderous rumors and killed the crown prince Shen Sheng, and sent men to arrest Shen Sheng's younger brother Chong Er. Upon hearing the news, Chong Er fled from the state of Jin and went into exile for more than ten years. After a lot of hard work, Chong Er came to the state of Chu. King Cheng of Chu thought that Chong Er would be a great man in the future, so he welcomed him as a king and treated him like a guest. One day, the king of Chu hosted a banquet for Chong Er, and the two of them drank wine and talked in a very cordial atmosphere. Suddenly, the king of Chu asked Chong Er: "If you return to Jin one day and become the king, how should you repay me?" Chong Er thought for a moment and said: "Beautiful ladies and attendants, treasures and silks, you have plenty of them, the king, rare birds and feathers, ivory and animal skins, but also the abundance of the Chu land, where is the Jin country have any rare items to offer to the king?" The king of Chu said, "Your Excellency is too modest. Although you say so, you should show me something, right?"
