安得虎子 [ān dé hǔ zi] [an de hu zi]—
(Proverb) If you don't venture deep into danger, you cannot achieve gains. From Records of the Three Kingdoms (`三國志 [san guo zhi] [san guo zhi]`), Book of Wu (`吳書 [wu shu] [wu shu]`), Volume 54, Biography of Lü Meng (`呂蒙傳 [lu meng chuan] [lu meng chuan]`): `呂蒙 [lu meng] [lu meng]` (Lü Meng) said: "Poverty and low status are hard to endure. If by chance I achieve something, wealth and high status can be attained. Moreover, if you don't explore the `虎穴 [hu xue] [hu xue]` (hǔxué) [tiger's den], how can you get the `虎子 [hu zi] [hu zi]` (hǔzǐ) [tiger's cubs]?" From Categorized Conversations of Master Zhu (`朱子語類 [zhu zi yu lei] [zhu zi yu lei]`), Volume 32, Analects (`論語 [lun yu] [lun yu]`), Fan Chi Asks about Knowledge (`樊遲問知 [fan chi wen zhi] [fan chi wen zhi]`): "One must first endure hardship before gaining. If you don't explore the `虎穴 [hu xue] [hu xue]` (hǔxué) [tiger's den], how can you get the `虎子 [hu zi] [hu zi]` (hǔzǐ) [tiger's cubs]! One must be willing to sacrifice oneself and go inside, like fighting an enemy, only then can one obtain it. If one speaks lightly, it will be of no avail." Also written as "If you don't enter the `虎穴 [hu xue] [hu xue]` (hǔxué) [tiger's den], how can you get the `虎子 [hu zi] [hu zi]` (hǔzǐ) [tiger's cubs]?" (`不入虎穴 [bu ru hu xue] [bu ru hu xue]，焉得虎子 [yan de hu zi] [yan de hu zi]`).
不探虎穴,安得虎子：（諺語）不深入險境，就不能有斬獲。《三國志．吳書．卷五四．呂蒙傳》：「蒙曰：『貧賤難可居，脫誤有功，富貴可致。且不探虎穴，安得虎子？』」《朱子語類．卷三二．論語．樊遲問知》：「須先難而後獲。不探虎穴，安得虎子！須是捨身入裡面去，如搏寇讎方得之，若輕輕地說得不濟事。」也作「不入虎穴，焉得虎子」。
