典故 The episode this lot is named after

二十四孝中王祥為滿足繼母要求,寒冬臥冰求鯉,感動上天而得魚的故事。

Wang Xiang was a paragon of filial piety. During a freezing winter, his cruel stepmother demanded fresh carp. He went to the frozen river, took off his clothes, and lay on the ice to melt it with his body heat. Heaven was moved by his devotion, the ice cracked open, and two carp leapt out. It signifies that forcing things is useless; only pure intentions and patience can melt frozen circumstances.
