The story of the struggle between snipe and clam

Zhao wanted to crusade against Yan, and (the younger brother of Su Qin, a strategist during the Warring States Period) lobbied Huiwen for Yan and told the following fable. When I came, I passed Yishui, just in time to see Meretrix meretrix come out to bask in the sun. The snipe took the opportunity to peck at the clam's meat. As soon as the two shells were closed, the clam grabbed the snipe's mouth. The snipe said:? If it doesn't rain today and tomorrow, there will be dead mussels. ? The clam also said tit for tat: If you don't come out today or tomorrow, there will be dead snipes. ? None of them would give up, and then a fisherman came and took them with him. ? Yan and Zhao are very tired because of their relative resistance. I'm afraid the powerful state of Qin is playing the role of a fisherman. I hope your majesty will think twice. King Huiwen agreed with Su Dai and stopped the war against Yan.

Waiting for the story of the rabbit

According to legend, during the Warring States Period, there was a farmer in the Song Dynasty who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. He stayed at home every day, just eating and wearing warm clothes. In case of famine, he will starve. He wants to improve his life, but he is too lazy and timid. He is lazy, afraid of everything and always wants to meet the unexpected wealth delivered to his door.

The miracle finally happened. One day in late autumn, he was plowing in the field and there were people hunting around him. The sound of shouting came one after another everywhere, and the frightened little beast ran desperately. Suddenly, a rabbit, impartial, bumped into his field root.

On the same day, he had a delicious meal.

After that, he stopped farming. All day, looking at the magical roots, waiting for the miracle to appear.

Idiom? Wait for him? Metaphor, wishful thinking for nothing, or clinging to narrow experience, I don't know how to change.

Redundant story

This idiom comes from the Warring States Policy? Qi Zeji.

There was a prophet in the state of Chu who got a pot of wine from his master. He felt that several people drank too little together and one person drank too much, so he asked several people to draw snakes on the ground, and the first one was drinking. A man first drew a snake and picked up a hip flask to drink. Seeing that others had not finished painting, he held the kettle in his left hand and drew feet for the snake in his right hand. Before he finished drawing his feet, another man grabbed the hip flask and said, snakes have no feet. How can I add feet? Then drink the wine. The gild the lily finally stopped drinking.

Han Yu, a great writer in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem Gan Chun. It's no use drawing a snake. The sideburns are white dust. ?

Gild the lily? The metaphor is to do something superfluous and ruin it. Sometimes? Draw a snake with your feet? .

Contradictory story

During the Warring States Period, the great thinker Han Feizi once said that there was a man who sold spears and shields. Someone told him that his spear is the sharpest spear in the world, and nothing is impenetrable. Later, he sold it to people, saying that his shield was the hardest shield in the world and nothing could pierce it. Someone in the crowd asked him to poke his shield with a spear, so he had to run away.

Spear: a stabbing weapon that attacks the enemy; Shield: A shield to protect yourself. Metaphor is talking and doing things before and after the conflict.

A tailor-made story

The story of the cup bow and snake shadow

The story of mantis catching cicada

After hearing this, the son of a minister went to the palace garden to shoot birds with a slingshot. The king of Wu asked him what he was doing. He said that he was watching mantis catching cicada in the tree, and yellowbird was waiting to eat mantis in the back. The prince of Wu felt that his situation was similar to that of mantis, so he had to cancel the plan.

Cicada: Cicada. Mantis catches cicadas without realizing the potential danger. Metaphor is short-sighted.

The story of sheep mending after death.

During the Warring States Period, there was a minister of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Xiang of Chu: When you were in the palace, Zhou Hou was on the left and Xiahou was on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time. You and these four people are very particular about luxury and debauchery. Aside from national affairs, Ying (the capital of Chu, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) is bound to be in danger! ?

Wang Xiang was very dissatisfied and angrily scolded: Are you crazy? Deliberately say these insidious words to confuse people?

Zhuang Xin answered unhurriedly:? I really feel that 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. ? Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao Guocai for five months, and the State of Qin invaded Chu, and Wang Xiang was forced into exile in Yangcheng (now northwest of Xixian County, Henan Province). Only then did I feel that Zhuang Xin's words were good, so I quickly sent someone to get Zhuang Xin back and asked him what he could do. Zhuang Xin said sincerely: I have heard that it is not too late to see rabbit teeth and think of hunting dogs; It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away. ?

This is a very meaningful story. If you only know how to have fun and don't know how to do things, the result will be a fiasco. ? Better late than never? This idiom is based on the above two sentences, which means that it is not too late to make amends if something is done wrong. For example, an entrepreneur misjudges the development of things, travels lightly and falls into a state of failure. But he was not discouraged. He patiently reconsidered the matter, learned a lesson from this mistake and thought? Better late than never? It is not too late to start from scratch!

The story of human face and animal heart

Yang Zhu specially invited Lao Tzu to ask questions at home. I gave him all kinds of people. Sages look at the heart rather than the appearance, but mortals look at the appearance.

Song Yu replied: There was a singer singing with Ba people in the streets of Du Ying, and many people sang along with him, but few people echoed him. Can you see it? Its music is high and low. ?

The melody is so profound that few people can sing along. Old fingers are hard to find. Metaphorical speeches or works are not popular now, and few people can understand them.

The story of swallowing dates.

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who heard that eating pears was good for teeth and bad for spleen, but eating dates was just the opposite.

This kind of person is greedy, always thinking of himself, and will do anything bad.

A story of much ado about nothing

The young monk reported to the abbot that there was a monk named He from Heguo outside. All the monks came out to watch the excitement, which made everyone laugh and cry.

During the Warring States Period, there was an old man named Sai Weng. He kept many horses, and one day, one of them suddenly got lost. When the neighbors heard this, they came to comfort him. Don't worry too much. When he is old, pay more attention to his health. Seeing someone comforting him, Sai Weng said with a smile. Losing a horse is not a big loss, and maybe it will bring good luck. ?

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. But a few days later, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a good horse.

When the neighbors heard that Ma had come back in person, they all admired Sai Weng's foresight and congratulated him one after another. Or are you always far-sighted? Not only did you not lose your horse, but you also brought back a good horse. What a blessing. ?

Sai Weng listened to his neighbor's congratulations, but he was not happy at all. He said anxiously: a good horse that gets something for nothing is not necessarily a blessing, but it may bring 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.

Or simply leave your head and mouth and quietly soak your whole body in water: or walk in the soft mud, which is also very comfortable. Look at those shrimps. Nobody can fuck me. Besides, I am the owner of this well, and I am free in this well. Why not visit it often? ? The tortoise listened to the frog and wanted to go in and have a look. But its left foot has not been fully inserted, and its right foot has tripped. He quickly took two steps back and told the frog about the sea. Have you ever seen the sea? The vastness of the sea stops at a thousand miles; The depth of the sea, which is thousands of feet. There were nine floods in ancient ten years, and the water in the sea didn't rise much; There were seven early days in the next eight years, and the water in the sea was not necessarily shallow.

Isn't this noise equivalent to telling people that I stole the clock here? In desperation, he jumped on the bell and tried to cover it with open arms, but how to cover it? The bell is still echoing in the distance.

The more he listened, the more afraid he became. He withdrew his hands freely and covered his ears hard. ? Hey, the bell is getting smaller and I can't hear it! ? The thief is happy. Wonderful!

The story of the fox and the tiger

During the Warring States Period, when Chu was the most powerful, Chu Xuanwang was surprised that 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 the following story:

? Once upon a time, there was a tiger in a cave. Because he was hungry, he ran outside to look for food. 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 tilted 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 a certain extent, so he stood up more proudly and pointed to the tiger's nose and said. What, you don't believe me? 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. ? The 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 time, 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, what they are afraid of is actually the king's power! ?

After reading: from the above story, we can know that anyone who uses the power of authority to oppress others or uses the power of his position to bully others can use it? Smith? To describe.
