As the leader of the short film top list, "Snipe" is not only amazing in special effects, but also its theme is easy to understand but benefit a lot.
There is a piece in "Warring States Policy: Yan Policy" in which the Su Dai persuaded King Zhao Huiwen to give up attacking the state of Yan, and cite the story of the snipe and clam fighting. The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman gains from this. The snipe and the mussel restrain each other and do not give in to each other, but let the fisherman benefit from it. They warn people to weigh the pros and cons, don't just think about what's good for themselves, but to be humble to each other, take a step back and open the sky. Let others take advantage of it.
In the short film, the little sandpiper, who was in his clothes and stretched out his hand for food and opened his mouth, was soaked by the rising tide when he was looking for food for the first time. During the second foraging, the little sandpiper encountered a little crab, and the waves rushed again. By coincidence, he mastered the foraging method of small crabs, so as to know the approximate location of each shell. It can be said that it is a lost horse, how can it be known that it is not a blessing? The little sandpiper is willing to accept and learn the crab's foraging methods, rather than stick to the rules and absorb the traditional methods given to them by their mothers.
I think it is most appropriate to quote a poem by Du Fu here: It is not disrespectful to the people of today and love the ancients, and the beautiful words of the Qing Dynasty must be neighbors. Take the essence and get rid of the dross. You can't blindly identify and learn from the ancients, and treat people today with arrogance. Similarly, we should criticize and inherit our own strengths and weaknesses, and we also need to learn from others' methods.
