Idiom Fable Story II During the Warring States Period, after King Xiang of Chu ascended the throne, he reused treacherous officials, became politically corrupt, and the country gradually declined. There was a minister in the state of Chu named Zhuang Xin. Seeing this situation, he was very anxious and always tried to convince him, but King Xiang of Chu only cared about his own enjoyment and didn't listen to what others said. One day, Zhuang Xin couldn't help it. He said to King Xiang of Chu, "You and some people in the palace are dissolute and lustful. Regardless of national affairs, the country will perish sooner or later! "

King Xiang of Chu was furious and scolded, "Are you crazy? How dare you curse Chu with these vicious words and confuse people? " Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly: "I really think things must come to this, and I dare not deliberately say that Chu has any misfortune." If you always cherish this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to hide in Zhao and see what will happen. "In this way, Zhuangxin saw that King Chu Xiang refused to give advice and had to hide in Zhao.

Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao Guocai for five months, and Qin really sent troops to attack Chu. There was little resistance from Chu, so Qin captured the capital of Chu. King Xiang of Chu was frightened like a lost dog and fled to Chengyang City (now Xinyang City, Henan Province). At this time, he thought of Zhuang Xin's suggestion and felt that Zhuang Xin's words were good. So he regretted and hated it, and sent someone to invite Zhuang Xin back, saying, "I didn't listen to you before, so I got to this point." Now, do you think there is any way to save it? "

Zhuang Xin said, "Does your master really want to repent?" King Xiang of Chu said, "I regret it now. I wonder if it is too late? " Zhuang Xin said, "Then I'll tell you a story." So Zhuang Xin said, "Once upon a time, someone raised a circle of sheep. One morning, he found a sheep missing. A closer look revealed that there was a hole in the sheepfold. At night, the wolf came in and took a sheep. Neighbors advised him: "Fix the sheepfold quickly and plug the hole! "The man refused to accept the suggestion and replied," Why build a sheepfold when the sheep have been lost? "The next morning, he found another sheep missing. It turned out that the wolf got in from the hole again and took away a sheep. He regretted not listening to his neighbor's advice, so he quickly blocked the hole and repaired the sheepfold. From then on, wolves can no longer go into the sheepfold to grab sheep.

King Xiang of Chu understood the meaning of Zhuang Xin as soon as he heard this story, so he went on to say to Zhuang Xin, "Zhuang Aiqing, what should we do?" Therefore, Zhuang Xin analyzed the situation at that time to King Xiang of Chu, and thought that although the capital of Chu had been captured, it was impossible for Qin to destroy Chu as long as he cheered up and corrected his mistakes. King Xiang of Chu listened and did as Zhuang Xin said, so he survived the crisis and revitalized the State of Chu. The idiom "Better late than never" is based on the above two sentences, which means that if something goes wrong, it's not too late to fix it.

Idiom Fable Story 3 Once upon a time there was a sharpshooter named Hou Yi. I have learned the good skill of piercing Yang with a hundred paces. I am proficient in vertical shooting, kneeling shooting and riding shooting. I have no false arrows and never miss. People rushed to praise his superb shooting skills and admired him very much.

Wang Xia also heard about the sharpshooter's skills from his right-hand man, witnessed Hou Yi's performance and appreciated his kung fu. One day, Wang Xia wanted to call Hou Yi to the palace, let him practice alone and appreciate his superb marksmanship. So Xia Wang ordered Hou Yi to come in and take him to the imperial garden to find a clearing. He asked someone to bring an animal skin arrow target with a square foot and a bull's-eye diameter of about one inch, pointing to it and saying, "I invited you here today to show your superb archery. This arrow target is your goal. In order to make this performance not boring because there is no competition, I will give you a reward and punishment rule: if you hit it, I will give you two thousand gold; If you miss it, you will have to cut the fief of 1000 households. Please begin now, sir. " After listening to Wang Xia, Hou Yi said nothing and his face became dignified. He walked slowly to a place one hundred paces away from the target, and his steps seemed quite heavy. Then, Hou Yi took out an arrow and put it on the bowstring. He posed, drew his bow and began to aim. Thinking of the possible results of his arrow shooting, Hou Yi, who has always been calm, became short of breath, and his bow-pulling hand trembled slightly, but he failed to shoot the arrow after several aiming. Hou Yi finally made up his mind, let go of the string, and the arrow came out, slamming a few inches away from the bull's-eye. Hou Yi's face suddenly turned white, and he bent his bow and took an arrow again, but his spirit was more unfocused and the arrow he shot was even more outrageous. Hou Yi packed his bow and arrow, reluctantly said goodbye to Wang Xia with a smile apologetically, and left the palace bitterly. Disappointed, Wang Xia couldn't hide his doubts, so he asked the soldiers, "This archer Hou Yi usually shoots every arrow. Why did he run out of water when he made the reward and punishment regulations with him today? " His men explained: "Hou Yi's archery on weekdays is just a general practice. Normal mind, the level can naturally play normally. However, the achievements he made today are directly related to his vital interests. How can we make him calm down and give full play to his skills? It seems that a person can become a well-deserved archer only if he really doesn't count rewards and punishments! "

Be swayed by considerations of gain and loss and care too much about our own interests will become a major problem for our success. We should learn from Hou Yi and try to be normal in any situation.

Idiom fable story 4 Legend has it that a raft shuttles between heaven and earth, and the person who controls the raft is really brave and fearless.

During the Western Han Dynasty, there lived a hermit named Luo Junping. It is said that he knows the time for the raft to travel from the earth to heaven, so anyone who wants to go to heaven must come to Luo Junping before leaving.

On this day, the time for the raft to leave is coming, and Luo Junping's family is full of people who want to take the raft to heaven. At this time, a man came out of Luo Junping's house in a raft. A man in the sky hurried forward, grabbed him and asked, "The sky is going through a winding river, and the sky is so high and big, and there are monsters all the way." Sometimes the raft will be turned upside down while driving. " You often float on the raft in this environment. Why don't you even shake your hand and not be afraid at all? "

The man on the raft replied, "It took me many years to learn the skills of riding a raft, and it took me three years to ride a raft myself."

The man asked again, "Are skills and practice enough?"

The man driving the raft said, "Of course not. Every time I go to heaven on a raft, I just worry that I don't know how many years I can live, and I don't even consider whether the raft can come back. I am driving a raft, and the waves are rolling all the way. The climate is ever-changing and capricious. Sometimes the sun is shining and the clouds are steaming, and suddenly it becomes dim.

Pale and dull, bright day suddenly turned into night. Sometimes, the raft collides with the waves, suddenly shaking like a runaway wild horse, sinking to the bottom of the trough for a while, and rushing to the high waves like a fight for a while. In a trance, I feel as if countless people are driving this raft. Whenever this happens, my mood is calm and I don't panic at all. If you panic at this time, your hands and feet will be out of control. As long as you don't panic, you won't fall down until you reach your destination safely. "

The questioner said with deep feelings, "I think what you said applies not only to controlling rafts, but also to many things!" " "

We can learn from rafting that no matter what we do or what happens, we should concentrate, be unwavering, be fearless and go forward bravely, so as to overcome difficulties and strive for victory.

The leaves of oranges and bitter oranges are similar, but the fruits taste different. Why is this? Because the soil and water are different.

Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain, which are 700 miles and tens of thousands of feet high in Fiona Fang, were originally located in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang.

There is an old man named Gong Yu in the north of the mountain. He is almost 90 years old. His house faces the two mountains. He was blocked by the mountain, and it was very tortuous and difficult. He called the whole family to discuss and said, "I want to work with you to remove this danger and open a road south of Jizhou to the south of Hanshui." What do you say? "

The whole family agreed. Only his wife raised a question and said, "With your little strength, I'm afraid you can't even move a hill like Kuifu. What can you do with these two mountains? " Besides, where did all the excavated stones and dirt go? "

The family said noisily, "Throw them to the edge of the Bohai Sea and go to the north of the hidden soil."

So Yugong led three sons and daughters who could bear the burden, chiseled and dug stones, and then used dustpans and baskets to transport stones and mud behind the Bohai Sea. In this way, they can go back and forth once from winter to summer.

There lived an old man named Zhicuo near the Yellow River. He used a sarcastic tone to discourage the foolish old man and said, "Why are you so stupid?" ! At your age, it is not easy to pull up a tree on the mountain with this little strength. How can you move so many stones and clods? "

The foolish old man sighed and said, "I think you are stubborn and unreasonable, even the widow's children are worse!" " Although I will die, I still have a son! Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son, son gives birth to son, son gives birth to grandson, so children and grandchildren will never be cut off! And these two mountains will never rise again. Afraid of digging rough? "

Idiom fable 12 doctor's benevolence

During the Western Han Dynasty, Chunyu Kun was a famous physician. He loved medical skills since he was a child and liked to play with silver needles and medicine.

After being tortured by corporal punishment, their hands and feet could not grow back. At that time, even if they wanted to repent and turn over a new leaf, there was nothing they could do. I am willing to be a handmaiden in the house, atone for my father, and give him a chance to turn over a new leaf and start over. "

Idiom fable story 14 story of swimming at the bottom of the kettle The Eastern Han Dynasty went to the emperor, who regarded eunuchs as evil and let consorts monopolize power. Many people have no talent and virtue. They are just a straw bag, just because they can kiss the emperor's ass and please him, or because a beautiful girl at home has become a concubine, the whole family can enjoy happiness with them. Around the emperor, there were crowds of ministers and attendants. Officials think about grabbing and pocketing all day. Under the oppression and exploitation of the imperial court, the hardships and hardships of the people's lives can be imagined.

Zhang Ying, a native of Guangling, could not bear the cruel tyranny and mobilized the masses to raise the banner of justice. The rebels killed the secretariat, cut off the rich, robbed the treasury and helped the poor, and crisscrossed Yangzhou and Xuzhou for decades. The imperial court was very embarrassed about this, which made the chief officer feel afraid.

At that time, there was an imperial envoy named Zhang Gang. This person is honest and clean, and has written many times, complaining about the shortcomings of the times, demanding that ministers who violate the law and crime be punished and court expenses be cut. The emperor had a headache for him, and many treacherous court officials hated him and gnashed their teeth. Then, at this time, a consort who is in power in one's hand and in one's hand, the Queen's brother, General Liang Ji, came up with a good idea. He colluded with several powerful people to tell the emperor that he sent Zhang Gang to be the magistrate of Guangling, in order to quell the civil violence and attempt to harm him.

In the past, others were sent to Guangling and repeatedly asked for more troops when they left. Zhang Gang here, but to ride alone, only a dozen collectors pawn. In Guangling, Zhang Gang went straight to Zhang Ying's camp and politely asked to meet with the military leaders. Zhang Ying was very surprised at first. Later, the people she saw were particularly sincere and came out to meet. Zhang Gang asked Zhang Ying to take a seat, but Zhang Ying didn't refuse. Zhang Ying sat down and asked coldly, "The prefect condescended to come to the thief camp. What do you think? "

Zhang Gang immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Why did the general say that? Xiaguan's incompetence, lack of sympathy for the people's feelings, humiliated the people and even trapped them in the quagmire. As the saying goes, "the government forces the people to rebel." The general sympathizes with the sufferings of the villagers and takes risks, which is really a last resort. The generals are honest, self-disciplined and brave, which really admires lower-level officials. "

Zhang Gang's words surprised Zhang Ying. He quickly stood up to make amends and said excitedly, "How could I be like this in Zhang Ying ten years ago? I am a careless person, I don't know manners, and I can't make friends with the court. I also know that we are all fish in a pot. If we just linger, where will we live for a long time? It just occurred to me that there was nothing I could do anyway, so let's take it one day at a time. Adults are here today, please give some advice! "

In this way, Zhang Gang used the method of appeasement, and did not move a single soldier. After repeated consultations and proper disposal with Zhang Ying, he finally calmed the chaos in Guangling.

Moral: Just like a live fish swimming freely in a pot, whether it senses that the water is heating or tries its best to survive, it can't escape from the pot. In fact, when it falls into the stove, the ending is already doomed, and that is a dead end. At that time, Zhang Ying was actually in a state of no choice. It happened that Zhang Gang adopted the strategy of retreating to advance, which helped Zhang Ying out of the predicament. Therefore, putting an end to violence in Zhang Gang is as easy as blowing off dust.

However, Zhou Liwang is arrogant and misinterprets the law. Treacherous court officials try their best to please. KATTO bluntly advised him and listed the disadvantages of state affairs, but the treacherous court official spoke ill of him in Zhou Liwang's ear.

Zhou Liwang is very tired of KATTO. Since then, treacherous court officials have gone in and out, ignoring KATTO. KATTO was very angry and wrote a poem, which was later included in The Book of Songs. In the poem, he attacked the traitor and said, "There is no cure for evil!"

Finally, he found that the donkey could only kick with its hoof, so he jumped up and had a good meal, with no other skills.
