Origin Story
春秋时期，郑国大夫子产收到一条活蹦乱跳的大鱼。他爱惜这条鱼，便命人将其放入池塘。然而，负责看管池塘的人却偷偷地把鱼给煮了，然后告诉子产说鱼刚开始的时候很不安分，后来慢慢地游动起来，最后一下子就游走了。子产听后欣然说道："得其所哉！得其所哉！"他认为鱼最终找到了适合它生存的环境，即使这个环境并非他预料中的池塘。这个故事说明，有时候看似不好的结果，或许正是一种适合的归宿。
During the Spring and Autumn period, a high-ranking official in the state of Zheng received a lively fish. He cherished the fish and ordered someone to put it in a pond. However, the person in charge of the pond secretly cooked the fish and then told the official that the fish was very restless at first, then slowly started swimming, and finally just swam away. The official listened and happily said: "De qi suo zai! De qi suo zai!" He believed that the fish had finally found an environment suitable for its survival, even if this environment wasn't the pond he'd envisioned. This story illustrates that sometimes, what seems like a bad outcome may actually be a suitable destination.
