    All parables and proverbs are made up, with old characters added to give fake legitimacy.

      Now you gonna tell me old man Yu didn’t have his family raze down that mountain?

    • Very true - although I’d add an “almost”, at least in a few cases, authentic letters - or for the modern era, recordings - can at least root the fundamentals in something that actually happened. (Although even then, whatever gets tossed around as a parable/proverb will be heavily embellished and/or stripped of context, of course).
