But these reforms were not easily carried out(执行)at first. Most people didn’t trust Shang Yang. In order to solve this problem, Shang Yang came up with an idea. He put a thin wooden pole(杆) at the south gate of the Qin capital. Many people came to see him and the pole.

Then, in front of the crowd, Shang Yang said loudly, “The man who takes this pole to the north gate will get 10 gold pieces.” It was a simple job and the reward was so large. However, some time passed and no one stepped forward. They all thought Shang Yang was making a joke. Hearing no answer. Shang Yang stepped forward and said, “The reward now goes to 50 gold pieces.” This reward was unbelievably large. Finally, a man from the crowd came forward.

China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals,but when it comes to pigs,we have the same idea—pigs are ugly,lazy and stupid.

Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.” And in English,there are some expressions like“Eating like a pig”and “Pigs might fly”.None of them are complimentary.

However,pigs have some good qualities(品质).They are even as smart as dogs and elephants.They have good memories.And they know whether people treat them well or not.

A UK cartoon,Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon.The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love,friendship and the value of family.And a Chinese cartoon film,the Adventures of Mc Dull,is also very famous.In the cartoon,the little pig,Mc Dull,has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams.Most people want quick success,but Mc Dull is slow and patient,and not afraid of failing again and again.
