idiom
Story] "Robbing while the fire is burning" is to rob property when there is fire and panic in the family, which is to take advantage of the danger of others. Therefore, when Qing and Xu Ke explained the situation of "looting while the fire breaks out" in "Qing Barnyard Banknotes and Thieves", they said that most of these thieves were temporary. When they met a fire in someone's home, they immediately called in their companions to enter the fire and moved things when they saw them. When the owner stopped them, they also said righteously, "I'm going to help you move your belongings to my house for lodgment." So Xu Ke finally concluded that they "took advantage of the danger of others by taking a sudden initiative." Later, "looting while the fire" was not necessarily limited to looting when people were on fire, but the meaning was expanded to anyone who took advantage of the danger of others, and could use it.
