English Translation of A Valuable Man
Idiom story At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was chaos in the world, and all the rebels rose up against the Qin Dynasty. They fought against Qin Jun all over the country, and there was no unified command, so they agreed that whoever could enter Xianyang first and overthrow the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty would be the king of Guanzhong. Among these rebel generals, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are the best. Although Liu Bang came from a humble background, he was good at employing people, so there were many highly skilled people. Xiang Yu himself is a general who can recruit good fighters, so the military strength of the rebel army he led is the strongest. However, he is a bit headstrong, doesn't like other people's different opinions, and always acts arbitrarily. In the course of the development of the war, Liu Bang fully listened to the opinions of his subordinates, and the attack route was very clever and the resistance was small, so he was able to enter Xianyang first, capture Zi Ying, the king of Qin, and destroy Qin. However, Liu Bang clearly knew that he could not confront Xiang Yu for a while on his own, so he retreated and withdrew from Xianyang first, waiting for the opportunity to achieve great things in the future. Xiang Yu's route arrangement is not very good, so he always encounters Qin Jun head-on. After all the hardships, he came a little late. So he was extremely dissatisfied with Liu Bang, so he ran amok and vented his resentment. Xiang Yu led a large group of people to crash and kill people everywhere and set fire to Qin Gong. The fire burned for months, burning a magnificent palace into scorched earth and rubble. Even so, he still felt that he was not Japanese enough. He ransacked all the jewels and jade articles left by the Qin Dynasty, and then prepared to lead the people back to Jiangdong. At that time, people of insight under Xiang Yu advised him: "Xianyang is located in the key area of Guanzhong, with fertile land, rich products and dangerous terrain. You might as well build your capital here, which will help you lay a solid foundation. " Xiang Yu has some enchantments, but at first glance, Xianyang has been destroyed by himself. Where is it like a capital? I miss my hometown more, so I just want to go back to my hometown. He said to the person who advised him: "If a person has money, he should go back to his hometown and let his hometown know what you are like now. If you have money and don't go back to your hometown, it's like walking in the dark in beautiful and gorgeous clothes. No one can see your clothes no matter how good they are. What's the use? So I still have to go back to Jiangdong. "
Hearing this, the man felt that Xiang Yu was not really a hero with indomitable spirit, so he privately said to others, "People say that Chu people are just superficial articles, just like monkeys wearing hats pretending to be people. I didn't believe it before. I didn't know it was true until I told the king of Chu this time! " Unexpectedly, this sentence reached the ears of Xiang Yu. He was very angry. He immediately caught the man, put him on a tripod and cooked him alive.

The idiom "The Devil Wearing Prada" is often used to refer to people who are morally corrupt, saying that they are only human appearances, but they behave like animals. In fact, this idiom is not intended. As a symbol of power, "clothing" has always been valued by the ruling class. The official clothes are embroidered with birds and beasts to show the rank of civil and military officials. This hierarchy began in the Ming Dynasty. According to the Records of the History of Ming and Qing Dynasties, civil servants embroidered birds and military officers embroidered beasts, which were strictly hierarchical and could not be overstepped. The "beast" on "clothes" corresponds to the rank of civil and military officials one by one. From grade one to grade nine, the civil servants are: cranes, golden pheasants, peacocks, geese, silver pheasants, egrets, and others. Xichi, quail, sparrow. From grade one to grade nine, the military attaché s are: unicorn, lion, leopard, tiger, bear, tiger, rhinoceros and seahorse. Originally, the devil wears a good word, but in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, officialdom was corrupt, civil servants loved money, and military commanders were afraid of death and oppressed the people. As a result, "the devil wears Prada" has evolved into a derogatory term for doing evil, like livestock.
