There is an old man in Ruzhou countryside, whose family is well-off and very rich. However, he has been illiterate for generations and doesn't even know the simplest words, such as "who is it?" It is inconvenient to do many things without literacy. The old man was fed up with suffering and decided to let his son read and write.
One year, the old man invited a scholar from Chu to teach his son to read. On the first day of school, the teacher wrote a stroke on the white paper with a brush and told his son, "This is a word." His son studied hard and remembered it. When he came back, he wrote to the old man: "I learned a word-'one'." The old man saw his son studying hard, saw it in his eyes and enjoyed it in his heart.
When I went to school the next day, the teacher wrote two strokes on the paper with a brush and said, "This is a word' two'." This time, my son didn't feel anything new, so he remembered it and went home. On the third day, the teacher wrote three strokes on the paper with a brush and said, "This is a' three' word." The son rolled his eyes as if he realized something and couldn't learn. He threw down his pen and ran back to his father happily and said, "This is really good to read. My child has learned it. Don't bother Mr. Wang now, lest Mr. Wang spend so much money to ask his father to dismiss. " Seeing that his son was so clever, the old man happily prepared a reward and dismissed the teacher.
A few days later, the old man wanted to invite a friend named Wan to drink, so he told his son to get up early in the morning and write an invitation. The son readily agreed: "Well, isn't it easy?" ? Look at me. "
Seeing that his son was confident, the old man was relieved to do other things. Time passed slowly, and when the sun was about to set, the old man couldn't help feeling anxious: "What happened to my son?" After waiting and waiting, the old man finally got impatient and went to his son's room to urge him.
As soon as he entered the door, the old man saw his son sitting at the table with a sad face, and the paper dragged on the ground was all the way of the underworld. My son is drawing on a piece of paper with a wooden comb covered with ink. When he saw his father come in, he complained, "There are so many surnames in the world, why is his surname Wan?" I borrowed my mother's wooden comb and can write more than 20 strokes at a time. From the early hours of the morning to now, my hands are sore, and I only wrote less than 3000 strokes! It's really hard to write thousands of words! "
Knowledge is infinite. If we only learn a little knowledge, what's the difference with this stupid son?
Fable story idiom 2: wood without material

"I like to say that people are long and ridicule current politics. This is what I hate most. I would rather die than hear such behavior from my children and grandchildren. You know I hate it. The reason why I want to say it again is to affirm my parents' warnings like a man and a woman getting married, so that you will never forget them. Long Bo is high, honest, thoughtful and cautious.

Allegory idiom 8 During the Three Kingdoms period, Wang Cao had a young son named Cao Chong. Cao Chong was clever since childhood, and won the favor of Cao Cao. Cao Chong loves to think and is diligent in thinking. Only five or six years old, he can find a way to solve some problems that even adults are helpless.
One day, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, sent someone to give Cao Cao an elephant as a gift. There are no elephants in the north. When Cao Cao saw such a monster for the first time, he was very curious and asked the person who sent the elephant, "How heavy is this elephant?" The bearer replied, "Bi Guo has never weighed an elephant, and there is no way to weigh it, so I don't know how heavy the elephant is." I have long heard that Wang Wei is a little talented, and there are many advisers under him, all of whom are brilliant. Please find a way to weigh the elephant and let me learn the demeanor of a big country in the north. "
Cao Cao suddenly understood that this was a problem given to him by Sun Quan, and he must not lose this face and damage the national prestige. So he called the ministers together and ordered that whoever could weigh the elephant would be rewarded. Everyone racked their brains and thought hard. Some people said that a big stalk would be built, but Cao Cao retorted that even if it was built, no one could lift it. Some people say that it is necessary to cut the elephant into several pieces before it can be called zero. Cao Cao rebuked how it was possible to destroy the gift from the State of Wu in this way. People hold me back, but no one comes up with a practical solution.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Cao Chong Jr. suddenly came up to Cao Cao and said, "Father, don't worry, I have an idea. We can take the elephant to the boat first, make a mark on the side of the boat, then take the elephant away and transport the stone to the boat until the boat reaches the mark in front. At this time, the weight of the stone is equal to that of the elephant. Then, we will weigh the stones separately and add up these weights. Don't we know how heavy the elephant is? "
Cao Cao was overjoyed, and everyone marveled at Cao Chong's cleverness. In this way, the weight of the elephant was finally weighed out.
More than two thousand years ago, young Cao Chong had such amazing wisdom, why not be praised? This story inspires us to think more in real life, exercise our thinking ability diligently, and make people become smarter and smarter.
Fable story idiom 9 carving a boat for a sword

He immediately took out a knife and carved a mark on the side of the ship. He said, "This is where my sword fell into the water, so I want to carve a mark."
After the ship landed, the Chu people immediately jumped into the water from the marked place on the ship and caught the fallen sword. After fishing for a long time, there is still no sign of the sword. In fact, how can he find the sword? The boat kept going, but the sword didn't move. It's ridiculous to look for a sword like him.
Fable story idiom 10 A dog is bitter after drinking.
There was a liquor seller in the state of Song. In order to attract business, he always cleans the shop, arranges wine vessels such as flagons, jars and wine glasses, and hangs a long wine lid outside the door, which reads "the best wine in the world". From a distance, it really looks like a restaurant that can do business. Strangely, however, few people care about his wine. Unfortunately, because it can't be sold, the whole jar of wine is sour and spoiled.
The Song people who sold wine were puzzled and asked their neighbors why this good wine could not be sold. The neighbor told him, "This is because your dog is too fierce." We have all seen it with our own eyes. Some people go to your house to buy wine with a hip flask in high spirits, but before they get to the door of the store, your dog will jump out and bark and even jump on them. In this way, who dares to buy wine in your house? Therefore, your wine can only be left at home waiting to turn sour. "
You see, a bad dog guarding the door can make a good hotel cold and guests dare not enter; If a country lets the bad guys control some key departments, the consequences will inevitably be the inversion of loyalty and treachery, social ruin and people's suffering.
Allegory idiom 1 1 During the Warring States Period, near the northern border town, there lived an old man named Sai Weng. Sai Weng keeps many horses. One day, one of his horses suddenly got lost. When the neighbors heard about it, they all came to comfort him and advised him not to worry too much. When he is old, he should pay more attention to his health. When Sai Weng saw someone comforting him, he smiled and said, Losing a horse is not a big loss. Maybe it will bring some blessings.
The neighbors were amused by Sai Weng's words. Losing the horse is obviously a bad thing, but he thinks it may be a good thing, obviously just comforting himself. A few days later, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a Xiongnu war horse.
When the neighbors heard about it, they all admired Sai Weng's foresight and congratulated him, saying, You still have foresight. Not only did you not lose your horse, but you were lucky to bring back a good one.
Sai Weng listened to his neighbor's congratulations, but he was not happy at all. He said anxiously that a good horse for nothing is not necessarily a blessing, but it may cause some trouble.
Neighbors think his posturing is purely the cunning of the elderly. I was very happy, but I didn't mean to say it.
Sai Weng has an only son who likes riding horses very much. He found that the horse he brought back was a good horse, with long hooves, loud neighing, fat and fierce. He rides a horse every day. He is proud of himself.
One day, he was so happy that he ran into a horse, galloped, fell, fell off his horse and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences.
Sai Weng said, it's okay. It may be a blessing to be able to save your life after breaking your leg. Neighbors think he's talking nonsense again. They can't figure out what good luck a broken leg will bring.
Soon, Xiongnu soldiers invaded on a large scale and young people were recruited into the army. Sai Weng's son can't join the army because he broke his leg. All the young men who joined the army died in battle, but only Sai Weng's son saved his life.

Calling a deer a horse-deliberate misinterpretation
The word "referring to a deer as a horse" comes from Records of the First Qin Emperor.
According to legend, Zhao Gao tried to usurp the throne. In order to test which ministers in the imperial court obeyed his wishes, he specially gave Qin Ershi a deer and said it was a horse.
The word "referring to a deer as a horse" comes from Records of the First Qin Emperor.
According to legend, Zhao Gao tried to usurp the throne. In order to test which ministers in the imperial court obeyed his wishes, he specially gave Qin Ershi a deer and said it was a horse. Qin Ershi didn't believe it, so Zhao Gao made excuses to ministers. The minister who dared not oppose Zhao Gaoyi said it was a horse, and the minister who dared to oppose Zhao Gaoyi said it was a deer.
Later, he said that he was a deer minister and was killed by Zhao Gao by various means.
The story of referring to a deer as a horse has spread to this day, and people use it to describe a person's right or wrong, reversing black and white.
In the second Qin Dynasty, Zhao Gao, the prime minister, held the power of state affairs.
He came up with an idea because he was afraid that some of his ministers would not obey.
One day in the court, he took a sika deer and said to II, "Your Majesty, this is my famous horse. It can walk 1000 miles a day and 800 miles a night. "
Junior laughed and said, "Shengsheng is obviously a deer, but you say it's a horse. Too wrong! "
Zhao Gao said, "This is indeed a horse. How can your majesty say it is a deer? " The second doubt is for officials to judge.
Everyone thinks that telling the truth will offend Cheng Xiang, and telling lies is afraid of deceiving your majesty, so they keep silent.
At this time, Zhao Gao glared at the ministers, pointed to the deer and asked loudly, "Look, what round body, thin legs, thick ears and thick tail is this?"
Everyone is afraid of Zhao Gao's influence. They don't say no, they just say it's a horse. Zhao Gao is very proud. The second is confusion. It's obviously a deer. Why does everyone say it's a horse?
He thought he was crazy, and he became more and more confused. Everything in politics was completely manipulated by Zhao Gaolai.
Zhao Gao secretly killed the person who told the truth, and sent someone to kill II, which occupied the whole court and eventually led to the demise of the Qin Dynasty.
One sunny morning, the mouse felt bored and went to the dictionary to look up words related to the mouse.
The mouse found a thick dictionary and began to turn it over. The first thing it sees is "short-sighted", "timid as a mouse" and "everyone shouts when a mouse crosses the street". The mouse was so angry that he couldn't speak, so he said to his partner, "Shall we change people's names for mice?" The mice jumped happily and shouted, "Yes, that's great! We all want to change those idioms. How can we disagree? " He added, "We changed that idiom to' When a mouse crosses the street, everyone salutes'." "Great, so the position of our mouse will be improved." They said with one voice. At this time, a child came home from school and saw a bunch of mice, still changing idioms. The child ran home and called his father out. When the father came out, he still had a big slipper in his hand. As soon as he saw the mouse, he began to fight. The mouse said, "Didn't I change those idioms?" The child said, "Although you changed your words, your nature has not changed, and people still don't like you."
From this fable, I understand that no matter how I hide my original mistakes, I can't change the facts. Only when we work hard to correct it can we be recognized by others.
