The letter said: "As a county magistrate, Song Guang has always been law-abiding in order to better serve the imperial court. How could he risk his life to tamper with the imperial edict? Isn't this the same thing that people eat aconite (a kind of herbal medicine, which is very toxic) to satisfy their hunger and drink bonito (poisonous wine soaked in bonito feathers) to quench their thirst? If it is, it has not yet entered the stomach, and it has already expired at the throat. How could he do that? "

Classic idiom story 10 can't sit still.

Explanation: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Lu held a frozen woman in his arms, with no intention of indecent assault. Describe the decent style of men in sexual relations.

Idiom Story: During the Warring States Period, Xun Kuang, a great thinker in Handan, wrote his immortal work Xunzi. In the outline, a vivid and touching story of "sitting with open arms" is told. The hero of the story is Liu Xiahui, a doctor in the State of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period. He is a judge.

In the 26th year of Lu Xigong (634 BC), the State of Qi attacked the State of Lu, and he sent people to persuade the State of Qi to withdraw its troops, which was praised by Lu Xigong. At that time, Liu Xiahui was famous for paying attention to aristocratic manners. He was an aristocrat.

On one occasion, Liu Xiahui went to other places to handle affairs, which delayed the time to leave the city. At this time, the inn was full, so he had to spend the night under the gate. Soon, a beautiful young woman also came to spend the night under the city gate. Liu Xiahui saw this woman's thin clothes, and she was shivering with cold. Liu Xiahui was afraid that the woman would freeze to death, so she wrapped her in a cotton-padded coat until dawn, and there was nothing wrong with it. Since then, people have used "sitting without chaos" to describe men's noble sentiments and decent style in gender morality.

Once upon a time, there was a clever boy who was only ten years old. One day he went out to play alone and got lost in a forest. He walked for a long time and couldn't find his way home.

In the evening, the little boy was very hungry. He wants to eat the cake made by his mother, but he can't find his way home. How can he eat the cake made by his mother? So the clever boy drew a big cake on the ground with branches and ordered sesame seeds on it. The little boy looked at it as if he smelled the cake. He thought of the delicious cake he usually ate and the little boy, feeling that he was not particularly hungry. He walked along a path again. Soon, the little boy's parents found him, so the clever little boy went home and ate a very delicious cake.

The idiom "painting cakes to satisfy hunger" comes from this story. Nowadays, this metaphor is often used to comfort yourself with fantasy, or to show that a false name is useless.

A long time ago, a man bought a bottle of good wine, so he invited many friends to his house to drink. This bottle of wine is delicious, and everyone has a good time drinking it. When the last cup is left, everyone still wants to drink, but who can drink?

So, someone thought of a way and said to everyone, "Well, let's have a game to draw snakes." Whoever draws first will be given the last glass of wine. "Everyone agreed and drew a snake on the ground. A person will draw it soon. Seeing that everyone was still painting, he said, "You haven't painted yet. Look, I still have time to add four feet to the snake! ""So he picked up the cup, drank it and drew it on the ground. Before he finished drawing four feet, a person finished drawing the snake, so he grabbed the glass in his hand and drank it dry. He said to him, "The snake has no feet, why did you draw four feet for him?" You are not drawing a snake now, so you can't drink this glass of wine! "

"gild the lily" is from this story.

This idiom has two meanings. One meaning is the same as self-defeating; I tried to show off my skills, but I ruined things. This is the case with the person in the story. He has drawn a snake, but he didn't drink to add four feet. Another meaning is similar to "making something out of nothing". Snakes have no feet, so there is no need to add four feet. So some people use "snake feet" to describe unnecessary things.

Cao Chong said that a long time ago, there was a clever boy named Cao Chong. Cao Chong's father is a big official.

One day, a foreigner gave him an elephant. He wanted to know how much the elephant weighed, so he said to his officials, "Try to weigh this elephant. I want to know how much it weighs. " This is a difficult thing. Elephants are the largest animals on land. How do you call it? His officials began to think hard. Without such a large scale, people didn't have the strength to lift elephants. What can we do? Everyone is worried about the elephant, and no one can figure out a way to call it.

At this time, a child ran out, stood in front of the adults and said, "I have an idea, I have an idea!" " When the officials saw that it was Cao Chong, they all thought, Hum! Adults can't think of any way. What can a five-year-old child do? And the elephant is so heavy, how can he think of a way to weigh it!

But don't look down on children, this little Cao Chong just has a way. He thought of a way that even adults couldn't figure out.

His father said, "You can speak quickly for everyone."

Cao Chong said, "I'll show it to you and you'll understand."

He had the elephant brought in and followed it to the river. His father and those officials were very surprised. Why did Cao Chong go to the river? Everyone wanted to see what he called an elephant, so they followed him to the river. There happened to be an empty big boat by the river. Cao Chong said, "Take the elephant on board."

When the elephant got on the boat, the boat sank a lot. Cao Chong said, "Draw a line next to the water as a mark." After marking, Cao Chong had the elephant brought ashore. At this time, when the ship was empty, it floated a lot.

Everyone watched, taking the elephant on the boat for a while, and taking it off the boat for a while, thinking, "What game is this child playing? How can he call an elephant like that? "

Next, Cao Chong had a lot of stones moved on the boat, and the boat slowly sank.

Cao Chong saw the ship's mark on the water and shouted, "All right, all right! Stop moving! " Have the stones removed from the ship piece by piece. At this time, everyone understood: the stone was loaded on the boat, the elephant was loaded on the boat, and the boat sank to the same marked place. At this time, the stone is as heavy as the elephant; Weigh these stones again and add up the weight of all the stones, which is the weight of the elephant.

Everyone says that this method looks simple, but if it weren't for Cao Chong to show it to everyone, adults would really be puzzled. All the officials and Cao Chong's father gave thumbs up and said, "Cao Chong is so smart!"

There was a great painter named Wen in the Northern Song Dynasty. He created the ink-bamboo freehand brushwork with deep ink as the face and light ink as the back when painting bamboo leaves, and created the ink-bamboo painting school, which had a far-reaching influence on later painting circles.

Great efforts have been made to write and draw bamboo. In order to draw bamboo well, he planted all kinds of bamboo in front of and behind his house. Whether it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain or shine, he often goes to the bamboo forest to observe bamboo and record its growth in different seasons. When he is inspired, he lays paper and grinds ink and draws the impression of bamboo on paper. Over time, various images of bamboo in different seasons, different weather and different time periods were deeply imprinted in his mind. As long as he concentrates on writing and stands in front of the painting, the bamboos of different shapes observed on weekdays seem to be shaking in front of his eyes. Therefore, every time he draws bamboo, he seems very calm and confident, and all the bamboos he draws are lifelike. But whenever people praised him, he always said modestly, "I just painted the mature bamboo in my heart."

Cao Xueqin, a poet, has a good study of Wen Heke's paintings. He wrote a poem with two sentences: "When you can draw bamboo, you have a good idea."

Now people use the idiom "have answers" to mean that they are fully prepared before doing things and are very sure of their success; It also means calm, very calm.

Li Bai was a famous poet in Tang Dynasty. It is said that when he was young, he made slow progress in reading and became impatient. One day, when he went out to play, he saw an old woman squatting by the stream, grinding on a stone with an iron bar. Li Bai felt very strange and asked, "What are you doing, old woman?" The old woman did not look back, while grinding her iron bar, she replied, "I am grinding an embroidery needle!" " Li Bai was even more surprised and asked, "Can such a thick iron bar be ground into an embroidery needle?" "The old woman said," If I grind today and tomorrow, the iron bar will only get thinner and thinner, even if I can't grind the embroidery needle! "Listen to the old woman, li bai as if suddenly enlighted. From then on, he worked hard and really became a very talented person.

"Grinding into needles" comes from this story. This idiom shows that as long as you work hard, you will succeed. Therefore, it is often said: "As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle."

A man wants to steal a clock. The clock is too big for him to carry or carry. What shall we do? He thought it would be better to smash the clock and carry the broken copper and iron home piece by piece, so he raised his hammer and smashed it. I didn't expect the bell to jingle, which startled him. Afraid of being heard, cover your ears with your hands, thinking that you can't hear the bell, and no one else can hear it.

Stealing the Clock comes from this story. "Stealing" means "stealing". The story says "stealing a clock" and the idiom says "stealing a clock" have the same meaning. Some people do bad things and try their best to cover them up, thinking that they are smart, but others will never know that this attempt to deceive others is just deceiving themselves, which can be said to be "stealing the bell."

Classic idiom story 12: extremes meet. Reverse: transform to the opposite side. When things get to the extreme, they will change in the opposite direction.

Idiom story: Wu Zhao is the queen of Tang Gaozong. After the death of Emperor Gaozong, she came to the court to listen to politics. Soon after, he abolished Zhongzong and changed his name to Zhou. She also calls herself Zetian, and we generally call her Wu Zetian. When she came to the court to listen to politics, Prince Zhongzong had grown up and could handle the affairs of the country, but the Emperor of Heaven still refused to let go. At that time, many ministers were very dissatisfied and wrote to stop it; One of the ministers, Su Anheng, also went to play a book to advise the emperor.

The recital said: "The prince is very old now, and his talents and virtues are good, but you still covet the throne of the emperor and forget the mutual affection between mother and son." Time can't delay you. I thought that God and the people were inclined to the Li family. Although you are still sitting safely in the emperor's seat, you must always know a truth, and things will be reversed when they are full! " There is a saying in Guanzi that "extremes meet, and life is called a cycle", that is to say, when something goes to extremes, it will definitely change and produce completely different results.

Son, this is an exhortation, which means enough is enough, not too much, which is the same as throwing out the container when it is full.

If a person is too greedy, he will be accused of "extremes meet" for the sake of status and wealth. In fact, this sentence also contains a little jealousy.

Classic Idiom Story 15 Steal the bell from the ear

Literally, the meaning of this idiom is easy to understand: cover your ears and steal the clock, thinking that you can't hear it, and no one else can hear it. This leads to the metaphor that you deceive yourself. You should try to cover up what you can't.

Stealing the ear bell comes from a fable recorded in Lu's Spring and Autumn Self-knowledge. The original text describes it like this: "Fan's death also means that the clock-snatcher is leaving. Then the clock is too big to be negative, it will be destroyed by vertebrae, and the clock will ring. I'm afraid people will smell it and take it away from me. I will slap my ears and the wicked will smell it. If you are evil, you will hear it yourself. " It vividly describes that when Fan, a doctor of the State of Jin, died, a common people got a clock and wanted to take it away, but the clock was too big to take away. So he hit the clock with a hammer and made a loud noise. People are afraid of being heard, so they come with him to grab the clock and cover their ears quickly. Fear of being heard is normal; But it is ridiculous to cover your ears and think that others can't hear you.

From the origin of the story, the earliest meaning of stealing a clock is actually stealing a clock. I don't know why the clock finally evolved into a clock. We can all use our imagination and guess.

The hero in this story looks ridiculous, but while we are laughing, have we ever wondered whether the same story happened to us? If you pretend you don't know what you did wrong, deceive yourself, just like the hero in the story. If we want to be wise in life, we might as well read this story often.
