Idiom allusions 1 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 allusion number two: life is awesome, it is better to come!
Interpret and praise teenagers for their intelligence, hard work and bright future.
Story: Cherie Tiemu, the minister of the Yuan Dynasty, was shrewd and decisive in handling official business. One year, he worked in Zhejiang, just as the imperial examination was held in the provincial capital. He witnessed the exam, and spent a lot of money from the government to the candidates, which inevitably led to graft. He secretly made up his mind that when he came to power, he must urge the court to abolish this system.
Later, he was promoted to vice premier, and he called on Yuan Shundi to abolish the imperial examination system. The imperial examination system in China has been implemented for more than 700 years since Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is a very important thing to abolish it, which has aroused great repercussions in North Korea. Bo Yan, a master, expressed his support, but he opposed a lot. An censor resolutely opposed the abolition of the imperial examination system. He asked Shun Di to cure Cherie's fungus. Unexpectedly, although Shundi was very fatuous, he was in favor of abolishing the imperial examination system. So he didn't support the proposal, but was demoted to be an official in other places. Soon, he ordered people to draft a letter to abolish the imperial examination system, ready to be promulgated. Before the book was published, Xu, a politician with a slightly lower status than Pingzhang, stood up against the abolition of the imperial examination system. He said to Bo Yan: "If the imperial examination system is abolished, talented people all over the world will resent it." Bo Yan said in a tit-for-tat manner: "If we continue to implement the imperial examination system, there will be more people in the world who take bribes and bend the law." Xu retorted: "When the imperial examination system was not implemented, weren't there many people who took bribes and perverted the law?" Bo Yan sarcastically said, "I think there are too few useful materials among those who win the election. Only you can be appointed as a politician! " Not convinced, Xu cited senior officials elected in many years to refute Bo Bo. Bo Yan certainly won't change his point of view, so the two men argued fiercely.
The next day, Manchu civil servants were summoned to Chongtianmen to listen to the imperial examination system, and Xu was specially called to be a monitor. It seems that the emperor deliberately wanted this opponent to understand the imperial edict. Xu was reluctant, but he was afraid of offending the emperor and getting hurt, so he had to kneel in front of the officials and listen to the imperial edict. After hearing and reading the imperial edict, hundreds of officials returned to the government, bowed their heads and left unhappily. An imperial adviser named Pu Hua went up to him and put his ear to his ear, sarcastically saying, "If you participate in politics, you will become a person who burns down the bridge.
This means that your participation in politics depends on the imperial examination. Now read out the imperial edict to abolish the imperial examination system. You kneel in front, as if you were the leader of abolishing the imperial examination system, just like pulling down the bridge after crossing it. Xu was ashamed and hated, so he stepped up and left. After that, he made an excuse to say that he was ill and never went to court again.
Idiom Allusions 3 During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Meng Changjun in the State of Qi. He entertained 3000 guests at home. Meng Changjun divided these people into three levels: upper, middle and lower! Excellent guests can eat big fish and meat every day and have a car to sit on when they go out; Medium guests can only eat fish and vegetables every day; Inferior guests only eat vegetables every day.
One day, Meng Changjun's friend introduced a man named Feng Xuan to Meng Changjun's house. Meng Changjun asked his friend, "What's this Feng Xuan guy's specialty?" My friend thought for a long time and said, "I don't seem to have any expertise!" " Hearing this, Meng Changjun paid little attention to Feng Xuan. The servants at home saw that Meng Changjun ignored Feng Xuan, thinking that his master looked down on Feng Xuan, and all the guests in Feng Xuan were entertained.
Feng Xuan is very unhappy and complains every day: "Since everyone looks down on me, I might as well leave!" ! When Meng Changjun knew about it, he promoted Feng Xuan from an inferior guest to a superior guest, and gave Feng Xuan's mother something to eat and use. Feng Xuan thought, "Meng Changjun is so kind to me, I must find a chance to repay him! 」
On one occasion, Meng Changjun sent Feng Xuan to collect debts in the snow, and Feng Xuan pretended to be Meng Changjun's order, telling all those who owed money to Meng Changjun not to pay back, and bought Meng Changjun a good reputation of "benevolence and righteousness"! Later, Meng Changjun was removed from the post of Prime Minister by the King of Qi. When he returned to live in Xuedi, the people of Xuedi warmly welcomed Meng Changjun!
Soon after, Feng Xuan said to Meng Changjun, "A rabbit must have three holes to hide, so as to avoid the danger of being chased by hunters. You live in the snow now, just like a rabbit with only one hole, which is very dangerous! In case Qi Guojun is dissatisfied with you and wants to kill you, you have nowhere else to hide! So, you can't put the pillow on and sleep peacefully now! " Hearing this, Meng Changjun said, "What should I do? Feng Xuan: Leave it to me! I will let you have three safe holes to hide like a sly rabbit! " So he ran to the monarch of Liang and told him that he was very capable. Upon hearing this, Liang immediately sent someone to invite Liang Dangcheng. When the news reached Qi, the monarch of Qi immediately panicked and hurriedly asked Meng Changjun to return to Qi as prime minister with grand etiquette. At the same time, it is also called to build an ancestral temple in Xue to ensure Xue's safety. After the ancestral temple was built in the snow, Feng Xuan said to Meng Changjun, "Now all three pits have been dug. From today on, you can put your pillow on and sleep peacefully! Later, people used "sit back and relax" to describe being fully prepared for anything, feeling at ease and not afraid!
Idiom allusion 4 When the Eastern Han Dynasty obeyed the emperor, the emperor regarded eunuchs as evil and let the consorts enjoy their rights exclusively. 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 as a magistrate of Guangling to appease the people, in an 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. It is said that the general sympathizes with the sufferings of the villagers and stands up 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, without moving a single soldier. After repeated consultations and proper disposal with Zhang Ying, he finally quelled the Guangling rebellion.
In ancient times, there was a scholar named Su Qin. Su Qin was born in poverty, and he couldn't even afford to read books. In order to live and study, he often had to sell his hair or help others do short-term jobs, and later left his hometown to learn from Qi.
After a year's study, Su Qin thought he had learned all the skills of a teacher, so he couldn't wait to say goodbye to his teachers and classmates and travel around the world. But a year later, he not only got nothing, but also spent all his money. He had to walk home in rags and sandals.
Back home, Su Qin was skinny, ragged, dirty and dusty. Seeing him like this, his wife shook her head and sighed and continued to knit. Sister-in-law turned away when she saw him like this, unwilling to cook; Parents, brothers and sisters not only ignored him, but also laughed at him behind his back and deserved it!
Su Qin was very sad to see his family treat him like this. He closed the door and didn't want to see anyone. He deeply reflected on himself: "My wife ignored her husband, my sister-in-law denied her brother-in-law, and my parents denied my son, all because I didn't live up to expectations and didn't study hard."
He realized his shortcomings, pulled himself together, moved all the books out and read angrily. He studies late into the night every day, and sometimes he falls asleep unconsciously at his desk. When I woke up the next day, I regretted it, but there was nothing I could do to keep myself awake. One day, after reading the book, he was really sleepy. He threw himself on the case involuntarily, but suddenly he was awakened-something stabbed him in the arm. When he saw an awl on the book case, he immediately thought of a way to stop dozing off: the awl pierced the thigh! In the future, whenever I want to doze off, I will prick my thigh with an awl to make myself suddenly "wake up in pain". Because of this, his thigh often drops blood, and he can't bear to gamble.
Seeing this, some family members couldn't bear to persuade him: "We can understand your determination and mood to succeed, but you don't have to torture yourself like this!"
Su Qin replied: "If you don't, you will forget the shame of the past!"
After a year of bloody battle, Su Qin learned a lot. He began to travel around the world again. This time, he finally succeeded in his career, accumulated a lot of experience and started a brilliant political career.
Su Qin, a native of Luoyang, learned the art of vertical and horizontal, lobbied the king of Qin, ten books were useless, resources were scarce, and he returned down and out. At home, the wife can't stay, the sister-in-law can't cook, and parents don't think about their children. Su Qin sighed: "This is all the sin of Qin!" But he studied it carefully and said, "Does anyone say that people are in charge, but they are not allowed to be in charge?" I want to sleep after reading it, so I stab myself in the thigh and bleed to my feet. After his death, Qi, Chu, Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han rebelled against Qin and sent India to six countries.
Idiom allusions 6 Legend has it that the immortal who manages horses in the sky is called Bole. In the world, people call people who are good at distinguishing the good from the bad horses Bole.
The first person is Bole, whose real name is Sun Yang, and he was born in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because of his excellent research on horses, people forgot his original name and have simply called him Bole until now.
On one occasion, Bole was entrusted by the King of Chu to buy a good horse that could walk thousands of miles every day. Bole explained to the king of Chu that swift horses are rare and hard to find. He needs to travel around the country. Please rest assured that the king of Chu will try his best to get things done.
Bole traveled to several countries and carefully inspected Zhao Yan, which is rich in famous horses. It's hard, but I still haven't found a good horse I like. One day, Bole came back from Qi. On the way, he saw a horse pulling a salt cart and struggling on a steep slope. This horse is tired and it is difficult to take every step. Bole has always been very close to horses and can't help walking up to him. When the horse saw Bole approaching, it suddenly raised its head, widened its eyes and screamed loudly, as if to tell Bole something. Bole immediately judged from his voice that this was a rare good horse.
Bole said to the driver: this horse gallops on the battlefield, and no horse can match it; But it is not as good as ordinary horses for pulling carts. You might as well sell it to me.
The driver thinks Bole is a big fool. He thought the horse was ordinary, had no strength to pull the cart, ate too much and was skinny, so he agreed without hesitation. Bole led a swift horse and went straight to Chu. Bole led the horse to Chu Palace, patted the horse on the neck and said, I have found a good master for you. Like a swift horse, he understood the meaning of Bole, raised his front hoof and giggled, making his neck long, hissing and loud, like a stone plate of a big clock, reaching the sky. The king of Chu heard the neighing of horses and walked out of the palace. Bole pointed to the horse and said, Your Majesty, I brought you a swift horse. Please watch carefully.
When the king of Chu saw that the horse led by Bole was so thin, he thought Bole had fooled him and was a little unhappy. He said, I believe you can look at the horse before buying it, but what kind of horse did you buy? It's hard to walk. Can it go to war?
Bole said: this is indeed a swift horse, but it looks very thin after being dragged for a long time and carelessly fed. As long as you feed carefully, you will recover your strength within half a month.
The king of Chu was a little skeptical and ordered the groom to try his best to feed the horse. Sure enough, the horse became thin and handsome. The king of Chu whipped his horse, only to feel that the wind was blowing around his ears and the time for breathing had already run out of a hundred miles away.
Later, a swift horse made great contributions to the battle of the king of Chu. The king of Chu has more respect for Bole.
Idiom allusions Article 7 The kettle of the idiom "cross the rubicon" is a pot; A boat is a boat. Breaking a pot and sinking a ship is a metaphor for a desperate battle.
This idiom comes from Historical Records. In Ji Ji, Xiang Yu learned that when he led his troops to cross the river, they all sank, broke the kettle, burned the house, and gave three meals to show that the soldiers would die, and there was no change of heart.
At the end of Qin Dynasty, Qin Ershi sent general Zhang Han to attack Zhao. When Zhao was defeated, he retreated to Julu (now southwest of Pingxiang, Hebei Province) and was surrounded by Qin Jun. He was appointed as the general and Xiang Yu as the lieutenant, and sent someone to save Zhao.
Unexpectedly, after leading troops to Anyang (now southeast of Cao County, Shandong Province), they stopped for 46 days. Xiang Yu had no choice but to ask him to cross the river to the north, get to Julu and get in touch with the besieged Zhao army. However, Yi Song had other plans. He wanted the Qin and Zhao armies to be exhausted before marching in order to win. He strictly ordered the army to kill anyone who didn't obey orders, no matter who he was. At the same time, Yi Song invited guests to eat and drink, while soldiers and people were starving.
Xiang Yu couldn't bear it, so he went into the camp and killed him, claiming that he colluded with Qi and turned against Chu, and the king of Chu had a secret order to kill him. These people immediately acclaimed Xiang Yu as the acting general. Xiang Yu reported the news that Yi Song was killed to Chu Huaiwang, and Chu Huaiwang had to formally appoint him as a general.
Xiang Yu killed Yi Song, which shocked the State of Chu, and won a reputation in various countries. He immediately sent two generals and led twenty thousand troops to cross the river to save the giant deer. Knowing that he had won a small victory, after receiving the request for reinforcements, he ordered the whole army to cross the river to rescue Zhao Jun.
After the whole army crossed the river, Xiang Yu took a series of decisive actions: sinking all the ships, smashing cooking pots, burning down the campsite, and carrying only three days' dry food to show his determination to fight to the death and had no intention of retreating.
This indomitable army reached the periphery of the stag and immediately surrounded Qin Jun. After nine fierce battles, Qin Jun's supply lines were cut off. Two generals of the State of Qin who were in charge of besieging the giant deer, one was captured alive and the other set himself on fire.
Prior to this, all the governors who came to help Zhao dared not confront Qin Jun head-on, although several armies were near Julu. The Chu army fought to the death and won a great victory, which greatly improved Xiang Yu's prestige.
From then on, the army led by Xiang Yu became the most powerful force against Qin at that time.
Later, "all shipwrecks are doomed" evolved into the idiom "cross the rubicon", which was used to describe a desperate battle with great determination.
Xiang Yu also became the famous leader of the peasant uprising army at that time, and soon overthrew the rule of the Qin Dynasty with Liu Bang's uprising army.
Idiom allusion 8 In 496 BC, the King of Wu was beaten out of the water by Gou Jian, the King of Yue. Before he died, he asked his son Fu Cha to avenge him. Fu Cha remembered his father's words and stepped up training day and night, ready to attack Yue.
Two years later, Fu Cha led his troops to defeat Gou Jian, who was besieged and committed suicide. At this time, Wen Zi, the counselor, advised him: "The prince of Wu is greedy for money and lustful, so he can send someone to bribe him." Gou Jian listened to his advice and sent him to bribe the king of Wu with beautiful women and treasures.
When he met the King of Wu, he went in and said, "I would like to make the King of Yue king. Please forgive him. " Wu Zixu stood up and protested loudly: "Gou Jian is far-sighted, and Wen Zi and Fan Li are smart and capable. If they are released this time, they will definitely find a way to get revenge when they go back! " At this time, Fu Cha thought that Yue was not enough, and he took a fancy to the beauty of the stone, so he did not listen to Wu Zixu's advice, agreed to Yue's request, and withdrew to Wu.
After the withdrawal of troops from Wu, Gou Jian came to Wu with his wife and doctor Fan Li, served the king of Wu, herded cattle and sheep, and finally won the king's love and trust. Three years later, they were released and returned to China.
After returning to China, Gou Jian was determined to make a fortune and prepare for revenge. He sleeps on a pile of straw at night, with weapons on his pillow and a gallbladder hanging in the room. After getting up every morning, he tasted the gallbladder and asked the soldiers outside the door, "Have you forgotten the shame of three years?" He sent Wen Zi to manage state affairs, Fan Li to manage military affairs, personally went to the fields to work with farmers, and his wife also spun and woven. Gou Jian's behavior touched the officials and people of Yue State. After ten years of hard struggle, the state of Yue finally became armed, from weak to strong.
Besides, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, has been addicted to the beauty of stones and lived a luxurious life since he defeated Yue. He was arrogant, listened to the treacherous court official and killed the loyal minister Wu Zixu. Wu at this time, seemingly powerful, has actually gone downhill.
In 482 BC, Fu Cha personally led the army to the north, competing with the State of Jin for the title of vassal. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, used the elite troops of the State of Wu to make a surprise attack, defeated Wu Bing in one fell swoop and killed his prince friend. After hearing the news, Fu Cha hurried home and sent someone to make peace with Gou Jian. Gou Jian estimated that Wu could not be destroyed at once, so he agreed. In 473 BC, Gou Jian personally led troops to attack Wu for the second time. At this time, the State of Wu was already at the end of a spent force (nǔ), and could not resist the Vietnamese army at all. Finally, Fu Cha sent someone to make peace with Gou Jian, and Fan Li insisted on destroying Wu. Fu Cha saw that peace could not be achieved and regretted not listening to Wu Zixu's advice. He was so ashamed that he drew his sword and committed suicide.
Nowadays, people often use this idiom to describe those who work hard and are determined to avenge their country.
Idiom allusion 9 At the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Chun Yuzun who lived in Guangling. There is a big pagoda tree with deep roots and luxuriant leaves in his yard. On a midsummer night, there are few moon stars, the shadows of trees are swaying, and the evening breeze is blowing gently. This is a good place to enjoy the cool.
On Chunyu Zun's birthday, relatives and friends came to celebrate his birthday. He was happy for a while and then had a few more drinks. In the evening, all his relatives and friends left. He sat alone under the locust tree and drank some wine to cool off, then fell asleep.
In his dream, he went to Dahuan, just in time for the Beijing exam. He signed up for school, and after three games, his poems were very fluent. He was the first in high school when he announced the list. Then he entered the palace for an examination. Seeing that Chunyu was handsome and generous, the emperor personally named him the champion and betrothed the princess to him as his wife. The scholar became a mother-in-law and a beautiful talk in Beijing for a while.
The relationship between husband and wife is very happy after marriage. Chun Yuzun was sent by the emperor to Conan County as a satrap and stayed there for 20 years. During his tenure as magistrate, Chunyu often visited various counties, which made the county magistrates of the subordinate counties dare not act recklessly and was highly praised by the local people. The emperor tried several times to transfer Chun Yu Zun back to Beijing for a promotion. When the local people heard that Chun Yuzun had left, they stopped Ma's head and tried to keep him. Chun Yu Zun was moved by the love of the people and had to stay and explain the situation to the emperor at the dinner table. The emperor appreciated Chun Yuzun's achievements and rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver and jewels.
One year, when enemy soldiers invaded, General Da Huan led the army to meet the enemy and was defeated by enemy soldiers several times. The news of the defeat reached the capital, and the emperor was shocked, and hurriedly called the officials of the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures. Ministers heard that the front-line troops were repeatedly defeated, and the enemy soldiers approached the capital, which was extremely fierce. One by one is scared to death. You look at me, I look at you, but they can't help it.
When the emperor saw the minister's appearance, he was very angry and said, "You are always pampered and enjoying the splendor.". Once something happens in North Korea, you are all dumb gourds, timid and don't say a word. What's the use?
The Prime Minister immediately recommended Chunyu Zun to the emperor. The emperor immediately ordered Chun Yuzun to lead the national elite to a decisive battle with the enemy.
After receiving the imperial edict, Chunyu Zun did not dare to delay, and immediately went out with troops. Unfortunately, he knows nothing about the art of war. As soon as he came into contact with the enemy soldiers, he was defeated at once. His soldiers and horses were killed and fled to the western heaven, and Chun Yuzun was almost captured. The emperor was very angry, removed Chun Yuzun from his post and sent him home. Chun Yuzun let out a cry of anger.
I woke up from my dream, but I saw branches and stars shining on the moon. He searched for the country of locust tree according to his dream. It turned out to be an ant hole under locust tree, where a group of ants lived. Only then did he know.
Idiom Allusions 10 At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a learned man named Kong Rong in Yuwenju, who was the 20th grandson of Confucius. He has been very clever since he was a child, especially good at rhetoric. In his early years, he has gained a good reputation in society. When he was ten, he went to Luoyang with his father. Luoyang is the capital of emperors in past dynasties, because it is located to the east of Chang 'an, so it is called the East Capital. At that time, he was the prefect of Luoyang, Henan Province, and a very famous Li Yuanli. Because Li's talent is very important, all the people who came and went in your house at that time were talented people except his relatives. Unless a celebrity visits, the doorman will not report it as usual.
Kong Rong, only ten years old, boldly went to see the satrap. He went to the door of the mansion and said to the doorman, "I am a relative of Li Taishou. Please let me know. " Li Taishou received him after the gatekeeper informed him. Li Yuanli asked him, "What is your relationship with me?" Kong Rong replied: "In the past, my ancestor Zhong Ni (Confucius) and your ancestor Bo Yang (referring to Laozi, whose surname is Li Minger and the word Bo Yang) both had the respect of teachers (Confucius once asked Laozi for etiquette), so you and I are also family friends!" At that time, many guests were present, and Li and his guests were surprised by Kong Rong's words.
One of them, Yang Chen, a doctor from China, arrived in time. After the guests present told him what Kong Rong said, he casually said, "It's time, but it's not necessarily good." The clever Kong Rong immediately retorted, "I think Dr. Chen must be very clever when he was young." Chen Yi stumped Kong Rong with a word, and he remained speechless for a long time (see Shi Shuo Xin Yu).
Later, people quoted two sentences from this story and introduced "it's time for an hour" into idioms, indicating that children are born smart and know a lot from an early age. However, because there is a saying below that "big is not necessarily good", the meaning of this idiom becomes: Although you are smart when you are young, you may not be able to become a useful person when you grow up. So although it is a compliment on the surface, it is a sneer and contempt in the bones. Therefore, when we use it, we should not praise others, otherwise it will be misunderstood that you have a heart of mocking and despising others.
A child's innate intelligence is naturally good, but without acquired training and hard work, it will become useless; Many people rely on their natural intelligence and refuse to study hard. They will be mistaken for smart and become the most useless people when they grow up.
Idiom Allusions 1 1 In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a very outstanding politician and diplomat named Ban Chao. When Ban Chao was young, his family was very poor, and he made a living by copying official documents for the government.
Copying is very hard, there are many things to copy, and I often have to work until midnight to go to bed. The government is also very strict about plagiarism. If you copy a wrong word, you will be scolded, your salary will be deducted or even fired. Therefore, Ban Chao was very careful at work, and his back ached with fatigue every day, and his eyes were full of stars. Besides being tired, copying is particularly boring. The same official document is often copied several times, sometimes as many as dozens of times, which makes Ban Chao very upset.
One day, while he was copying an official document and writing, he suddenly stood up, threw his pen on the ground and said angrily, "A gentleman should make contributions on the battlefield like Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian. How can he spend his life on such trivial things as copying and writing? " Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian, born in the Western Han Dynasty, have made numerous contributions to the Western Regions. Therefore, Ban Chao decided to learn from Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian and make great contributions to the country's diplomatic career.
From then on, Ban Chao abandoned his pen and joined the army.
In the 16th year of Yongping (AD 73), Dou Gu, a captain, sent troops to attack Xiongnu, and Ban Chao followed the Northern Expedition and served as a pseudo Sima in the army. The puppet Sima Guan was very small, but it was the first step for Ban Chao's literary career to turn to military life. As soon as Ban Chao arrived in the army, he showed his unique talent. He led his troops to attack Yiwu (now the West Fortress in Hami, Xinjiang) and moved to Prehai (now the Balikun Lake in Xinjiang), and he tried his best to capture many enemies. Dou Gu admired his military talent.
Because he fought bravely and made many contributions, he was soon sealed.
Later, in order to deal with the Huns, he suggested dealing with countries in the western regions. The court adopted his suggestion and sent him to the Western Regions with dozens of people. In more than 30 years in the western regions, he overcame various crises with wisdom and courage.
Ban Chao has been to more than 50 countries in his life and maintained peace with them. At the same time, he publicized the national prestige of the Han Dynasty and was later named Dingyuan Hou. Later, people called Ban Chao's story "Joining the Army" after he died, which was used to describe his ambition of abandoning literature and joining the army to serve the country.
