There is a Chinese idiom(习语) ''tao li man tian xia", referring to (指的是)a teacher who has taught so many students that they spread across the country like peach and plum( 李子)trees.

The idiom comes from Zizhi, an official (大臣) that lived in the state of Wei(魏国) during the Spring and Autumn Period(BC770﹣BC476). Zizhi was a knowledgeable person. He was not liked by the king at the time, so he had to leave his state. To make a living, he opened a private school and started to teach students.

As a teacher, he chose students no matter they were rich or poor. He often pointed at a peach and a plum tree in his yard when asking his students to work hard. "You should become a useful person and do work to benefit society, just like when the peach and plum trees bloom(开花)and bear fruit." he said.
