Case: Guishan asked Yangshan, "Where have you come from?" (It is not that he didn't know where he came from.) Yangshan said, "From the fields." (Why have you fallen into the grass?) Guishan said, "How many people were in the fields?" (Just the two of us, father and son.) Yangshan thrust down his hoe and stood with hands folded. (Letting go is rather perilous.) Guishan said, "On South Mountain there are many people cutting thatch." (Beating the grass to startle the snakes.) Yangshan picked up his hoe and walked away at once. (Gathering it in too quickly.)
