press forward steadily

be out of it(not to know where to turn)

A crow is never the whiter for washing herself often.

to capture enemy's colours and replace them with one's own flags

to remain aloof from each other though associated till the hair is white

be neither cold nor warm(lukewarm)

try to be unique

not to make the horn of a baton visible--not to show off one's knowledge

with considerable knowledge and talent

all birds paying homage to the phoenix--peace under a wise ruler

relent when writing a verdict

develop a new style or method of one's own

dispatch troops without a just cause

correspond with

surge forward like a sweeping tide

without shedding a drop of blood

Make still further progress

write like an angel

Be outnumbered by the enemy

pay no attention to trifles
