During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a businessman in the State of Chu who specialized in selling jewelry. On one occasion, he went to Qi State to sell jewelry. For the sake of good business and best-selling jewelry, he specially made many small boxes with precious wood, which were beautifully carved and decorated, so that the boxes would give off a fragrance, and then put the jewelry in the boxes. A man from Zheng saw the box containing the orb exquisite and beautiful. After asking the price, he bought one, opened the box, took out the treasure inside and gave it back to the jeweler. A blockbuster During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Chunyu Kun in the State of Qi. He is eloquent and good at conversation. He often used some interesting code words to convince the monarch that he was not only angry, but also willing to accept it. At that time, the King of Qi was originally a very wise monarch. But after he acceded to the throne, he was addicted to wine and color. He doesn't care about state affairs, he only knows how to drink and have fun every day, leaving all the proper business to the minister, but he doesn't care. As a result, politics was not on the right track, officials were corrupt and dereliction of duty, and governors of various countries also took the opportunity to invade, making Qi on the verge of extinction. Although some patriots in Qi were worried, they were all afraid of the King of Qi, so no one rushed out to remonstrate. In fact, Qi Weiwang is a very clever man. He likes to say some argot to show his wisdom. Although he doesn't like to listen to other people's advice, he will accept it if it is good. After Chunyu Kun knew it, he thought of a way to find a chance to give Qi Weiwang advice. One day, Chunyu Kun met him and said, "Your Majesty, I have a riddle for Chen to guess. I want you to guess: its state-owned juicy bird lived in your majesty's court for three years, but it didn't flap its wings or name it, but it just curled up aimlessly. Guess, your majesty, what kind of bird is this? " Qi Weiwang is a clever man, and he knows that Chunyu Kun is satirizing himself. Like a big bird, he is the king of a country, but he does nothing but enjoy himself. But he is no longer a fatuous king, so after Shen Yin sang for a while, he resolutely decided to turn over a new leaf, cheer up and do something vigorous, so he said to Chunyu Kun, "Well, this big bird, you don't know, will it fly or will it fly into the sky? If it doesn't sing, it will disturb everyone. Just wait and see! " From then on, Qi Weiwang stopped drinking and began to rectify the country. First of all, he called officials from all over the country to reward those who are loyal and responsible; Those corrupt and incompetent people will be punished. As a result, the whole country soon cheered and was full of vitality everywhere. On the other hand, he also set out to rectify the army and use strong force to establish the prestige of the country. After hearing the news, the rulers of all countries were shocked. Not only did they dare not invade again, but they even returned all the land they had occupied to Qi. What Qi Weiwang did was really a "blockbuster"! Therefore, people later used the idiom "blockbuster" to describe that if a person has extraordinary talents, as long as he can make good use of them, once he exerts them, he will often have amazing achievements. During the Warring States Period, when Chu was the most powerful, Chu Xuanwang was surprised. All northern countries were afraid of his general Zhao Xi's shirt. So he asked the North Korean minister why. At that time, a minister named Jiang Yi told him such a story: "Once upon a time, there was a tiger living in a cave. He went out to look for food because he was hungry. When he came to a dense forest, he suddenly saw a fox walking in front of him. He thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he jumped forward and caught him effortlessly. But when it opened its mouth to eat the fox, the sly fox suddenly spoke:' Hum! Don't think that you are the king of beasts and dare to swallow me; You know, heaven and earth ordered me to be king of kings, and whoever eats me will be severely punished by heaven and earth. "The tiger listened to the fox with a grain of salt, but he was not surprised when he cocked his head and saw the fox's arrogant and calm appearance. The arrogance of the original posture, I do not know when it has disappeared more than half. Even so, he thought to himself: I am the king of beasts, so any beast in the world will be afraid to see me. And he, it turned out, was ordered by Emperor Fengtian to rule us! At this time, the fox saw the tiger hesitate to eat, knowing that he had believed his words to some extent, so he stood up more proudly and said,' What, you don't believe what I said? Then come with me now, walk behind me and see if all the wild animals are scared out of their wits when they see me. Tiger thought it was a good idea, so he did it. So the fox swaggered ahead and the tiger followed carefully. Not long after they left, they vaguely saw the depths of the forest, where many small animals were fighting for food, but when they found the tiger walking behind the fox, they couldn't help being surprised and ran away. At this moment, the fox turned to look at the tiger proudly. Seeing this situation, the tiger couldn't help but feel a little scared, but he didn't know that wild animals were afraid of themselves, and thought they were really afraid of foxes! The cunning fox succeeded, but his strength was entirely due to the tiger, so that he could threaten the animals in a favorable situation at this moment. The poor tiger was fooled and didn't even know it! Therefore, the people in the north are afraid of Zhao Xi's shirt simply because the king's soldiers are in his hands, that is to say, what they are afraid of is actually the king's power! "From the above story, we can know that anyone who oppresses others with the power of authority or bullies others with the power of position can be described as" Smith ". Act in collusion with others in the Spring and Autumn Period. Chu invaded Zheng. At that time, Zheng, as strong and weak as Chu, was really unable to resist. As a result, Zheng was defeated, and even Zheng's was captured by Chu. After the war, the Chu army was surrounded by the son of the younger brother of the king of Chu, and wanted to take the credit for Zheng Jiezhi's capture as his own, saying that Zheng Jiezhi was captured by him. So the two men had an argument, and there was no way to solve it at the moment. Later, they asked Li Bo to be a fair person and decided who was responsible for it. Bozhou Tiangang Company's solution to the dispute is fair. He insisted that if you want to know whose credit this is, you'd better ask the captured King Zheng. So he ordered someone to take Zheng to Bozhou Plough and explain what had happened to him. Then he held out two fingers, one for King Chu and the other for General Chu, and then asked him who he had captured. Zheng hates his guts, because he was captured by someone who wore a seal, so he pointed to his upper finger and said that he was captured by Gong Ziwei. Therefore, Bozhou Plough decided that this was due to outside the childe. The idiom "practise fraud" comes from this story; It means cheating in the game and turning right from wrong. In today's society, this situation often happens: for example, someone has done something illegal, knowing that he deserves it, but he can't escape punishment; So he secretly paid bribes, or asked relatives and friends for mercy and protection. As a result, the big things turn into small things, and the small things turn into nothing. We still have to muddle through. People like this, bending the law, get in the way, which can be said to be "collusion". Once upon a time in the state of Qi, there was a man who was timid and a little neurotic. He often thinks of some strange questions, which makes people feel confused. One day after dinner, he sat at the door with a big cattail leaf fan and assessed his future. He said to himself, "What should I do if the sky falls one day?" Is it not wrong that we have no way out and will be crushed to death alive? "Since then, he has been worried about this problem almost every day. His friends are worried about him when they see him in a trance and haggard all day. However, after everyone knew the reason, they all came to persuade him and said, "Dude! Why bother yourself about it? How can the sky fall? I mean, even if it does collapse, you can't solve it by yourself. Let's relax! "But, no matter what others say, he doesn't believe it, and he will always worry about this unnecessary problem. According to the above story, people later extended this idiom to "worrying about the sky." Its main significance is to wake people up from worrying about some unrealistic things. It has roughly the same meaning as "much ado about nothing" ycp.
