In the Warring-States Period， Su Qin was a famous lobbyist who always wanted the six major states to stand together to fight against the most powerful State of Qin.
In 333 BC， he came to the State of Zhao and met with the lord of this country. During the meeting， he said that the land area of six nations （Zhao included） was five times as large as the State of Qin and the number of soldiers is ten times as big as Qin.
“What I mean here is that the united force of the six states is much bigger than Qin. But you became so subservient to the State of Qin. Defeating others and letting others defeat you， surrendering to others or forcing others to surrender to you， are these two same things that can be talked on the equal terms？”
Note： the phrase is used along with the negative words such as “do not”， stressing the difference between two things.
