Idioms and their stories

After the polishing of time, thousands of people have passed from mouth to mouth, and every idiom is so profound, meaningful and concise. Reading idiom stories can help us understand history, things, knowledge and accumulate beautiful language materials. The following are the necessary idioms and allusions I compiled (selected 17). Welcome to read!

Idiom allusions 1 darkness

During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Xu Yi county magistrate Zhu Hongxiang was promoted to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. He has been in Guangdong for less than half a year, which has made Guangdong province good and bad.

However, before Zhu Hongxiang arrived in Guangdong, many business travelers here died, but the murderer could not be found, and all of them became headless grievances. For example: Zhu lost his master and servant; Wu lost his master and servant; Xie's men and women lost their lives. These people died because the murderer cut open their stomachs, put stones in them and sank into the water.

It is said that upon Zhu Hongxiang's arrival, the city god decided that he was an honest official and told him that the above-mentioned murder case was committed by an old dragon.

After hearing this report, Zhu Hongxiang went to Laolongjin in northeast Guangdong to catch the murderer. As a result, he arrested more than 50 boatmen. After the trial, it was found that they lured the guests to their own boat in the name of going on a business trip by boat, then put Mongolian medicine or burned incense to make them unconscious, and then started to gut the guests and sink them to the bottom of the water. These boatmen formed gangs, which made the local society extremely dark.

Darkness means: describing the social darkness under the rule of reactionary forces.

Idiom allusion 2 A three-inch golden tongue is a metaphor for eloquence. Sleek is used to describe people who are good at arguing and arguing.

In 257 BC, Qin Jun surrounded Handan, the capital of the State of Zhao, and the King of Zhao sent Ping Yuanjun to the State of Chu to ask for reinforcements, and at the same time made a joint covenant against Qin. Ping Yuanjun decided to take 20 soldiers with him, but after selection, one person was still missing.

Later, a man named Mao Sui recommended himself. Ping Yuanjun felt that she didn't remember much at ordinary times. After questioning him, he reluctantly agreed to go with him

The seemingly unremarkable Mao Sui is actually a talkative person. When he arrived in Chu, he talked about world affairs with his peers 19, and everyone admired his knowledge and eloquence.

On the day of Ping Yuanjun's meeting with King Chu Ping, they talked from morning till noon, but no result was reached. 19 The public guest was very anxious and volunteered to go to the temple to see the situation.

Mao Sui walked leisurely up the steps according to his sword. The king of Chu looked down on him and asked him to retire, but he strode up to the king of Chu with a sword in his hand and said, "Your majesty dares to be so rude to me in front of his master because of the strength of the Chu army." But now you are less than ten steps away from me, and the king's life is in my hands. It's useless to have more Chu troops. "

Then, from history to reality, the relationship between Chu and Zhao is seriously analyzed ... which shows that Zhao sent envoys to fight against Qin to save Chu, not just for Zhao himself.

The king of Chu thought Mao Sui was right, so he held a signing ceremony with Heping Yuanjun. In this way, the joint anti-Qin incident was successfully completed.

After the party returned to Zhao, they talked about this contribution. He said with emotion: "I will never talk about identifying talents again." I have identified thousands of talents, at least hundreds. Those people in the world who think they are really capable can't escape my eyes, but they just don't realize Mr. Mao Sui's talent. When Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, he regarded Zhao's position as more important than national treasures such as Jiuding. Mr. Mao's words to Chu are better than millions of masters! "

Since then, Mao Sui has been highly valued by Ping Yuanjun and regarded as a VIP.

Idiom allusions 3 Learn to get rich.

At the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the slave society in China was in a period of great change. The development of productive forces, the change of economic base and political turmoil have caused changes and progress in academic culture, and private lectures have also begun to rise. Private lectures impart knowledge to the lower classes of the ruling class and even the people, breaking the monopoly of knowledge by nobles and historians, which is a great progress in China's cultural history. Followed by the emergence of private books. Confucius, who was the first to devote himself to private lectures, had books there, such as poems, books, rituals, music, changes, spring and autumn, etc. During the Warring States period, the academic atmosphere was very active, forming a situation of "a hundred schools of thought contend", and new works appeared constantly. According to legend, there are dozens of books in Su Qin, and the famous philosopher Hui Shi said that "books have five cars", which is the origin of the idiom "learning to be rich and having five cars".

Bamboo slips began in the Zhou Dynasty in 1 1 century BC and were popular in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the 3rd century A.D..

It is the earliest real book in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and bamboo slips became the main writing form and got great development.

Such as: Laozi, Zhuangzi, Mencius, Confucius, Sun Tzu, etc.

The five cars in the idiom "learning to be rich with five cars" actually refers to the bamboo slips with five cars.

Both "knowledgeable" and "talented people" are considered knowledgeable. Know how to use the on-board quantity? Here are two allusions.

The ancients in China have begun to use bamboo or wood chips as information carriers. Bamboo used for writing is called "Jane" or "strategy"; Wood chips used for writing are called "squares" and "calves".

"Learning to be rich with five cars" comes from the article "Zhuangzi's Miscellaneous Articles in the World": "Learning from teachers is good, and books are five cars." Hui Shi was a philosopher in the Warring States Period. He was brilliant and knowledgeable, and he was a representative of a noble family. It is said here that Hui Shi is a learned man, with a lot of Taoism, and it takes five carts to read books. Later, people praised learned people with "Five Cars", "Five Cars Books", "Five Cars Books", "Five Cars Bamboo Slips" and "Emblem Cars". Wang Anshi's Gift to the Sun: "I loved pears and chestnuts when I was young. I have to read five books when I grow up. " Use "learning five cars" to mean reading more or studying more.

The allusion of "learning to be rich with five cars" reflects the means of communication used in quite a historical period. So many books in simplified Chinese characters are very troublesome to transport and store, and people often describe them as "great achievements" and "filling the building" So the idiom "sweating like a pig" came into being.

"Eight fights" is a metaphor used by Xie Lingyun in the Southern Dynasties to praise Cao Zhi, a poet of Wei in the Three Kingdoms. He said: "There is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian (Cao Zhi) has eight fights. I also want to fight, and the world is divided into one fight." (See Anonymous Stone) It seems that Xie Lingyun is also quite conceited about his talent. Since then, people have used the idiom "gifted scholar and beautiful woman" to describe a person's strong writing ability. Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Alas": "Fu Fei is worried about sitting in the sky and exhausting his talents." Here, the poet borrowed the allusion of "a man of great talent".

Source "Zhuangzi Tianxia": "Hui Shi has many books and five cars."

Idiom allusion 5 Dog tail continues mink

After the death of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, his uncle Zhao Wang Sima Lun was ambitious. He took advantage of the fact that Hui Jin Emperor Sima Zhong had just ascended the throne and the country was not stable enough, and planned a plot to usurp the throne with his men. After Sima Lun became emperor, he even became an official at random, turning his relatives and friends, even servants and servants at home, into big officials or his near-servant officials. At that time, attendants used precious mink tails to make hats, but there were too many officials in Sima Lun to find so many mink tails, so they had to use similar dog tails instead.

Because too many officials in Sima Lun abuse their power, and these officials have neither real talent nor practical knowledge, and they don't work for the people. Knowing that they bullied the people and acted recklessly, the people felt very hateful, so they made up a proverb to satirize them: "The mink is not enough, and the dog's tail continues."

The sixth idiom comes from behind.

Ji 'an, a man in the era of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, was respected for his integrity, justice and daring to tell the truth. He is informal, pragmatic and official. Although it is not so vigorous on the surface, it can manage a county in an orderly way. So, the court transferred him from Donghai County to the court as a Lord and captain-an office in charge of the appointment and removal of local officials.

On one occasion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that he would implement the Confucian policy of benevolence and righteousness and do good deeds for the people. Before the emperor had finished speaking, Ji An said, "Your Majesty is so greedy at heart, but on the surface he has to pretend to be kind. Why bother? " A word choked the emperor back. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cried, his face changed greatly, and he announced a blow to the DPRK. All the civil servants in the Qing Dynasty were supporting the staff for Ji An, fearing that he would cause great disaster. After Emperor Wu returned to the palace, he told people around him that Ji An was too thick and straight.

Since then, Ji An's official position has never been promoted. When he was Qi Huangong and a surname, Gong and Zhang Tang were humble officials. Later, they continued to rise, Gong became prime minister, Zhang Tang became an ancient bachelor, but He Ji 'an still stood still. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wu that your majesty's use of ministers is like chopping wood, and it is "the latecomers come from the top"! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty certainly realized that this was an indictment. Then he turned to his deputies and said, "People really have to study! You listen to Ji An, more and more outrageous! "

This story comes from Biography of Historical Records and Zheng Ji. The idiom "coming from behind" often means that the latter can surpass the former. And Ji An said the original intention, very different.

Idiom story:

On one occasion, twelve countries, including Song and Qi, jointly attacked Zheng. Seeing that his country was short of troops, the monarch of the State of Zheng hurried to the State of Jin for mediation. The State of Jin readily agreed, so he quickly negotiated with the twelve countries and asked them to stop attacking the State of Zheng. The twelve countries were afraid of the powerful state of Jin, and though they were reluctant, they had to retreat.

In order to thank the State of Jin, the monarch of Zheng sent messengers to the State of Jin with many beautiful women, musical instruments and musicians. Jin Wengong was very happy to receive these gifts, and gave half of the beautiful women to the hero Jiang Wei. Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei not only refused, but also advised Jin Wengong not to be careless when the country was strong, but to forget that he was in danger. He should think of the difficulties and dangers that the country may encounter when enjoying himself, so as to be ready to deal with them at any time. Duke Xiang of Jin felt very reasonable and accepted his suggestion.
