瞒天过海 (mán tiān guò hǎi) Deceiving the Heavens to Cross the Sea This scheme about deceit and disguise is usually listed as number one of the well-known"Thirty-Six Stratagems." Here, the "heavens" meant originally the "emperor," since a ruler of an empire was alwaysreferred to as "the Son of Heaven" in Chinese history. Li Shimin (599-649 AD) was the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty and was known as a greatmilitary commander. Once he led more than 300,000 men to conquer a land on the other side ofa sea. But when they arrived at the shoreline, the emperor got cold feet from looking at thebillowing sea waves. However, Li's aides didn't want him to abandon the conquest and Xue Rengui, one of the mostfamous generals of that time, decided to use a scheme to deceive the emperor and lead him tocross the sea without his knowing it. So, Xue and others went to see the emperor and told him that a local rich man had volunteeredto provide loads of food and fodder for the imperial troops. The rich man had invited theemperor to attend a ceremony near the sea to accept his present the next day. The emperor was very happy and decided to see the rich man himself. When Li and his troopscame to the coast next day, they saw thousands of houses covered with bright and colorfulcurtains. The rich man escorted the emperor into a large, carpeted house and began to entertain him witha sumptuous banquet. The emperor enjoyed the delicious food and fine wine until suddenly the house began to rockand dishes and bowls all fell off the table. By lifting the curtains and looking outside, the emperorfound that he was actually aboard a large boat with thousands of other boats and they werealready on the high seas. 本文来源：https://www.dywdw.cn/8727234cc181e53a580216fc700abb68a982ad99.html
