Chinese Sayings (Book 2)
Zhǐ Sāng Mà Huái | 指桑骂槐
from Season 6, Episode 1: That Darn Mulberry Tree!
The CSP is back for another season! We're coming out of the starting gate nice and strong for the Sixth Season opener with one of the great all-time classics: Point at the Mulberry Tree and Scold the Locust Tree. Zhǐ Sāng Mà Huái 指桑骂槐. This one has a double provenance, coming to us from both The Thirty-Six Strategems and Dream of the Red Chamber. This Chinese Saying is quite useful and strongly favored by lovers of the art of passive aggression. Nine more good ones lined up for this season.
