eading Liu Zongyuan's 'Three Warnings' | True wisdom lies in recognizing one's own limitations

Liu Zongyuan's "Three Warnings" uses allegorical stories of a deer, a donkey, and a mouse to caution against forgetting one's true nature, blindly imitating others, and neglecting potential dangers for temporary comfort. Each story illustrates how animals suffer tragic fates due to ignorance of their instincts, reflecting the need for self-awareness in society and not losing oneself to external temptations. Liu criticizes those who pursue power and status at the cost of their identity. These tales remind us that true wisdom lies in recognizing our limitations and knowing when to reveal or conceal our abilities.
