A rare commodity that can be hoarded at a better price ―― something that can be used.
During the Warring States Period, Lv Buwei, a big businessman, went to Handan, the capital of Zhao State, to do business. By chance, he found an extraordinary young man on the road. Someone told him, "This young man is the grandson of the son of the King of Qin. His name is a foreigner and he was taken hostage in Zhao. "
At that time, Qin and Zhao often fought, and Zhao deliberately lowered the living standards of foreigners, making him very poor. Even when it was cold, he didn't even have clothes to keep out the cold. Knowing this, Lv Buwei immediately thought that investing in strangers would bring immeasurable profits. He couldn't help saying to himself, "This strange product can survive in it." It means to store strangers as exotic goods and wait for an opportunity to sell them.
Lv Buwei went back to his apartment and asked his father, "How much profit can you get from agriculture?"
His father replied, "Ten times."
Lv Buwei asked again, "What about selling jewelry?"
His father replied, "A hundred times."
Lv Buwei then asked: "So how much will a frustrated person get if he is trained as a monarch and is in charge of the world's money?"
His father shook his head in surprise and said, "That's incalculable."
Lv Buwei listened to his father and decided to do this big business. First, he took out a large sum of money, bribed Zhao officials who watched strangers and got to know strangers. He said to the stranger, "I will try my best to make Qin redeem you and make you a prince." Then you are the future monarch of Qin. What do you think? "
The stranger said with surprise, "that's a good thing I can't wait." One day I will repay you heavily. "
Lv Buwei immediately went to Qin, bribed the cronies around An Guo Jun with a large sum of money, and redeemed the dissidents of Qin.
An Guojun has more than twenty sons, but his favorite Mrs. Huayang has no sons. Lv Buwei gave a large number of treasures to Mrs. Huayang and asked Mrs. Huayang to accept different people as her heirs.
After the death of the King of Qin, An succeeded to the throne, known as King Xiaowen in history, and named an alien as a prince. King Xiaowen died shortly after his reign, and the prince succeeded to the throne, that is, King Zhuang Xiang.
King Xiang of Zhuang was very grateful for Lv Buwei's support, worshiped Lv Buwei as the prime minister, sealed Wen Xin Hou, and took 12 counties in Luoyang, Henan Province as fiefs, and paid taxes to 100,000 households. After the death of King Zhuang Xiang, Prince Zheng succeeded to the throne, namely Qin Shihuang, and was called Guan Zhong. Lv Buwei came to power.
Like a raging fire-thrive
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Fu Cha, the king of Wu, successively conquered Yue, Lu and Qi. He was ambitious and continued to March to the northwest, intending to conquer Jin with all his strength.
But it was at this time that Gou Jian, the king of Yue, copied the posterior route of the king of Wu. He led the army all the way to Suzhou, the capital of Wu, and sent troops to occupy the Huaihe River, cutting off the retreat of the king of Wu.
The news poured cold water on Fu Cha, the king of Wu. He was so shocked that he immediately called civil servants and military commanders to discuss countermeasures. Everyone said that going back now is equivalent to two defeats and two beatings; If we can defeat the State of Jin, it will be tantamount to becoming the overlord in the Warring States period, and it is not too late to go back and clean up Gou Jian, the king of Yue.
The plan has been made, and the urgent task is to conquer the state of Jin as soon as possible. After careful consideration, I decided to win by surprise.
One night, the king of Wu ordered. All the soldiers in the army eat well, and so do the horses. Select 30,000 elite soldiers from the whole army. Every ten thousand people form a phalanx, and * * * forms three phalanxes. There are 100 people in each square. At the beginning of each line is the officer's department. Every ten lines, that is, 1000 people, are in the charge of a doctor. Each phalanx is led by a general. In the center of the square, white helmets, white armor, white flags and white bows and arrows are all mastered by the prince himself, called Zhong Jun; Square on the left, red helmet, red armor, red clothes; The square on the right is black. Set out in the middle of the night, and arrive at the place only one mile away from 8 jin j at dawn. At dawn, Wu Jun drummed and the sound of cheers shook the earth.
When Jin Jun woke up from his dream, he was shocked to see Wu Jun's three phalanxes: the white phalanx was in full swing-like a thatched field full of white flowers; Red square, "looks like a fire"-like a burning flame; And that black square is like an unfathomable sea.
The story comes from Wu dialect, the national language. The idiom "in full swing" describes the large lineup and momentum of a group of people or things.
The first person to make tomb figures ―― the creator of a bad precedent.
This idiom comes from Mencius Hui Liang Wang Shang: "Zhong Ni (Confucius) said: The initiator has no future! It is also used by its image. "
During the Warring States Period, Mencius and Liang talked about the way of governing the country. Mencius asked Liang, "Is there a difference between killing with a stick and killing with a knife?"
Liang replied, "There is no difference."
Mencius asked again, "What is the difference between killing with a knife and killing with politics?"
Liang said to him, "It's no different."
Mencius went on to say, "Now there is a lot of fat in Wang's kitchen, and there are strong horses in the stable, but the people are starving, and some people are lying in the wild." This is an organ that attracts animals to eat people! Think about it, king. Even if animals eat each other, it's disgusting. How can those in power lead wild animals to eat people be good parents of ordinary people? Confucius once said that those who first used figurines (ancient puppets or clay figurines that buried the dead) had no children and grandchildren! You see, you still can't bury it with a humanoid earth doll. How can people starve to death alive? "
According to Confucius' phrase "the initiator, there is nothing behind it", later generations call "the initiator" an idiom, meaning the first person who does bad things, or the initiator of bad atmosphere.
The principle of heaven and earth-just
In the summer of 5 18 BC, doctors from Zheng, Jin, Song, Wei, Cao, Zhu and Teng were in a meeting. These doctors are discussing how to arrange the Zhou royal family. During the meeting, the doctors visited each other again for advice.
One day, Uncle Zheng's son went to the State of Jin to see Zhao Jianzi. Zhao Jianzi asked Uncle Zi what a "gift" was. Uncle Zi introduced the theory that the first doctor gave birth to a child. Zi chan has long said: "Rite is the norm of heaven, the norm of heaven and earth, and the basis of human action." Uncle Zi said: "I think courtesy is a top-down discipline, a criterion of heaven and earth, and the foundation of ordinary people's survival." Zhao Jianzi appreciated his opinion very much.
Doctors from many vassal countries came to consult uncle Zi. Uncle Zi also said to the doctors: "The fifth day of the fifth year is all about' ceremony', so you should remember it all your life and pursue it all your life."
The idiom "Tianli" evolved from "Tianli Geography" and refers to the unchangeable truth or something taken for granted.
Don't dare to throw mice for fear of breaking dishes-don't dare to take action against people who do bad things for fear of implicating/hurting good people.
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Xian of Han took Prime Minister Cao Cao and uncle Liu Bei to hunt. In order to show his strength, Cao Cao kept pace with Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. Emperor Hannan saw a rabbit not far away and asked Liu Bei to shoot it, saying that he wanted to see his uncle's archery. Liu Bei hurriedly drew his bow and shot an arrow, which just hit the rabbit. Xian Di even praised his archery. Nandi saw another big deer and missed three arrows in a row, so he told Cao Cao to shoot it. Cao Cao took Nandi's golden arrow and hit the deer with one arrow. When the soldiers saw the golden arrow shooting the deer, they thought it was Xian Di's. They all shouted "Long live", and Cao Cao proudly stood in front of Xian Di and accepted the cheers. Guan Yunchang can't stand it. He wants to cut Cao Cao with a saber. Liu Bei quickly hinted that he should not act rashly. Afterwards, Guan Yunchang asked Liu Bei why Cao Cao was not killed. He said, "Get the boat out. Xian Di is with him."
"Get the mouse out of the trap" means that the mouse is very close to the utensils. If you hit the mouse with something, you are afraid of breaking the utensils near the mouse. Now it is often used to describe people who are afraid to let go of things.
In everyone's mouth.
This idiom comes from a story wholeheartedly recorded in Mencius: "We are familiar with each other; Sheep dates are unique. "
Zeng Shen in the Spring and Autumn Period was a dutiful son. His father Zeng Xi likes to eat sheep dates (a kind of wild little persimmon, commonly known as milk persimmon). After Zeng's death, Zeng Shen could no longer eat sheep dates. This matter was handed down as a beautiful talk by Confucianism.
Once, one of Mencius' students, Gong Sunchou, asked Mencius about it: "Which is better, stir-fried (lean meat) or mutton dates?" Mencius said, "Of course it's delicious." Sun Chou said, "Then Zeng Shen and his son must both like to eat fried dishes, but why did Zeng Shen only quit mutton and jujube after his father died?"
Mencius replied: "Popular, everyone eats; Sheep jujube was Zeng's special hobby, so after his death, he attended the meeting and continued to eat sheep jujube instead of sheep jujube. "
According to the above records, later generations derived the idiom "popular", which means that everyone praises and recites (mostly poems).
better late than never
This story comes from the Warring States Policy. During the Warring States Period, there was a minister in the State of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Chu Xiang:
"When you are in the palace, state affairs are on the left and Xiahou is on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time.
Youyou and these four people pay special attention to luxury and debauchery. Regardless of state affairs, Ying (Chu capital, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) is one of them.
It must be dangerous! "
Wang Xiang was very dissatisfied and scolded angrily, "Are you crazy? Deliberately saying these insidious words to confuse people? "
Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly: "I really feel that things must come to this, and I dare not deliberately say anything about Chu."
Unfortunately. If you always cherish this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to find Zhao.
Hide and see what happens. "
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 Xixian County, Henan Province).
North). 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. ZhuangXin very sincerely say:
"I heard that it's not too late to see rabbit teeth and think of hounds; It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away. ……"
This is a very meaningful story. You only know how to have fun, not how to do things. The result must be a painful loss.
There is no doubt about failure.
The idiom "Better late than never" is based on the above two sentences, expressing that after handling things wrong,
If you hurry to save it, it's not too late. For example, a career criminal misjudges the development of things and takes risks lightly.
Fall into a state of failure. But he was not discouraged. He patiently reconsidered things and learned from this mistake.
Training, I feel that "better late than never", it is not too late to start from scratch!
(of an unknown person) achieved amazing results at the first attempt.
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 matches something.
Interesting code words, to convince the monarch, so that the monarch is not only not angry, but also willing to accept.
At that time, the King of Qi was originally a wise monarch, but he became addicted to debauchery after he ascended the throne.
Regardless of national affairs, I only know how to drink and have fun every day, and I leave important things to the minister, but I don't care. because
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, which made Qi on the verge of extinction.
On the brink of death.
Although some patriots in Qi were worried, they were all afraid of the King of Qi, and no one came out to persuade them.
Suggestions.
In fact, Qi Weiwang is a very clever man. He likes to say some argot to show his wisdom, although he doesn't like listening.
Other people's suggestions, but if they are correct, he will still accept them. When Chunyu Kun found out, he came up with a plan
Policy, ready to find a chance to persuade Qi Weiwang.
One day, Chunyu Kun met him and said, "Your Majesty, I want you to guess a riddle for Chen."
This state-owned juicy bird lived in the king's court for three years, but it didn't flap its wings or be named.
Just curled up aimlessly, guess, your majesty, what kind of bird is this? "
Qi Weiwang is a wise man. You can hear from his words that Chunyu Kun is satirizing himself, a country like a big bird.
Respect, but nothing, only pleasure. When he was no longer a fatuous king, so was Shen Yin.
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, it doesn't fly, it doesn't rush into the sky, it doesn't make a sound, it makes a sound.
Will disturb everyone, you wait and see! "
From then on, Qi Weiwang stopped drinking and began to rectify the country. First of all, he called on officials all over the country to be loyal and responsible.
Give rewards; Those corrupt and incompetent people will be punished. As a result, the whole country quickly cheered and was everywhere.
Full of vigor and vitality.
On the other hand, he also set out to rectify the army and use strong force to establish the prestige of the country. When the governors of various countries heard the news,
Everyone was shocked, not only did they dare not invade again, but 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 a person with extraordinary talent, as long as he can.
If you use it well, once you play it out, you will often have amazing achievements.
Decorate yourself with borrowed feathers
During the Warring States period, when Chu was at its strongest, he was afraid of his general Zhao for the sake of the northern country at that time.
Xi's t-shirt, and feel strange. 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 place,
When I was in the dense forest, I suddenly saw a fox walking in front of me. He thinks this is a golden opportunity.
Yes, he jumped over 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.
Your Majesty, whoever eats me will be severely punished by heaven and earth. The tiger listened to the fox with a grain of salt.
However, when he tilted his head and saw the fox's arrogant and calm appearance, he was shocked. The original arrogance.
And I don't know when most of them disappeared. Even so, he thought to himself: I am one hundred.
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, and knew that he had already believed him a little.
So he stood proudly, then pointed to the tiger's nose and said,' What, don't you believe what I said?
Really? 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.
Running around. The tiger thought it was a good idea and did it.
So the fox swaggered ahead and the tiger followed carefully. They didn't leave much.
For a long time, I vaguely saw the depths of the forest, where many small animals were fighting for food, but when they found themselves walking behind the fox.
The tiger was in front of him, and he couldn't help but be frightened to disgrace and ran away.
At this moment, the fox turned to look at the tiger proudly. Seeing this situation, the tiger can't help but feel a little scared.
But he didn't know that wild animals were afraid of themselves, and he thought they were really afraid of foxes!
The cunning fox's plan succeeded, but his strength was entirely due to the tiger's disguise, which enabled him to threaten in a favorable situation at this moment.
Threatening the beast and the poor tiger to be fooled and not knowing 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.
Say, what they are afraid of is actually the power of the king! "
From the above story, we can know that anyone oppresses others by virtue of the power of authority or the power of position.
Anyone who acts arrogantly can be described as "Smith".
A word is worth a thousand dollars-high-quality literary works or calligraphy
At the end of the Warring States Period, there was a big businessman in the State of Qin named Lv Buwei, who helped Qinzhuang when he was doing business in the State of Zhao.
Betrothed my concubine to his wife. After Zi Chu ascended the throne,
His name is Wen Xinhou, and the official lives in Guo Xiang. King Xiang of Zhuang died after only three years in office, and was ruled by his 13-year-old son Evonne.
Born) to the throne, it is a famous Qin Shihuang in history, respecting Lv Buwei as Guanzhong, and all administrative power is in Lv Buwei and Evonne.
Hands.
It was very popular at that time to train scholars. The famous Four Childes of the Warring States have thousands of public servants, and Lv Buwei also has 3,000 public servants.
As his think tank, he came up with various ways to consolidate his regime. These diners, hungry people, have everything. they
Everyone has his own views and experiences; Write all this down. Together, it becomes a masterpiece of more than 200,000 words.
Nominated "Lv Chunqiu". Lv Buwei thinks this book is a classic of Qin's unification of the world. At that time, Lu put the book on Qin's head.
Xianyang, the capital, announced that anyone who can add or subtract a word in the book will be rewarded with 1000 yuan (a catty of gold).
For this record, see Historical Records: Biography of Lv Buwei. Later people, according to this story, extended it to "a thousand words."
The idiom "Jin" is used to describe the high value of an article or to praise the excellent rhetoric of an article.
Zhuji, rare. For example, we read a famous scholar's new work, and he put forward a new teaching method, which can not only mention
Improving students' academic level and quality can also increase teachers' own further study. For such a valuable item,
We can say that it is a "golden jade". In modern society, everything has become a commodity, and items are not listed, so I

It is more appropriate to describe it with the value of the article or the beauty of rhetoric.
One day in the sun and one day in the cold-work hard for one day and do nothing for ten days.
During the Warring States period, a hundred schools of thought contended and lobbied vigorously. Ordinary lobbyists not only have profound knowledge and wealth.
Knowledge, especially using profound and vivid metaphors to satirize and convince rulers, is the most prominent. Mencius was also a celebrity at that time.
Debate, in the first article of Mencius and Gao Zi, is recorded as follows:
Mencius was very dissatisfied with Qi Wang's fatuity, lack of perseverance in doing things, and credulity in slanders. He rudely said to him, "Qi Wang!
It's so unwise. Although there are creatures with strong vitality in the world, you put them in the sun for a day, but they are left out in the cold.
That place has frozen it for ten days, but it is still alive there! My time with Wang is very short, even if Wang has a little kindness.
My determination, but as soon as I leave you, those treacherous officials will trick you again, and you will listen to them. What should I do? "
Accordingly, he made a vivid metaphor: "Playing chess seems trivial, but you can learn the same without concentration."
No, you can't win. Qiu Yi is the best chess player in the country. He taught two apprentices, one of whom was absorbed and listened everywhere.
Qiu Yi's guidance; The other is always afraid of the arrival of a big swan and prepares to shoot the goose with an arrow. These two apprentices were taught by a master.
Study together, but the latter is far from good. This is not the difference in their intelligence, but the degree of concentration.
The same; "This is a very instructive story. We should learn one thing and do one thing well. Not concentration.
Be ambitious and work hard. If you do something today, put it behind you and do it the next day, how can you do it?
Well done? Success in learning and doing things is also one of the decisive factors, so later generations will refer to Mencius' "one"
The phrase "it's cold for ten days when the weather is violent" is simplified to the idiom "it's cold for ten days when the weather is violent", which is used to describe the lack of perseverance in learning and doing things.
A common sentence. For example, a classmate is very casual about learning, spends less time studying and wastes more time, so we will
What can he learn from this practice of exposing himself to the cold?

Jin Gongzi Yi Wu and Gongzi Zhong Er are two brothers. With the help of Qin and Qi, Yiwu ascended the throne, namely Jin Gonghui.
However, our ministers are divided into two factions, supporting the one headed by Quemao and Lu. The faction that secretly controls Zhong Er is Rick and
Headed by Pi Zheng. However, all these people have made contributions to Jin in person. Pi Zheng went to the State of Qin on business to benefit the public.
So he killed Rick. After PiZheng came back, he was very scared. He was afraid that he would be killed by Gong Hui. But he doesn't have any problems.
, he will be at ease. Of course, he hated Gong Hui in his heart, so he secretly called his comrades to discuss driving Yiwu away and welcoming his son.
Ear up. One day, Tu Anyi will come to see Pizheng. He didn't see PiZheng until late at night from noon. Pi Chen Uen, what can I do for him?
Love, Tu Anyi told him that Gong Hui wanted to kill him, so please help Pi Zheng.
Pi Zheng said, "Go and ask Lu Province to save you!" Tu Anyi said: "Shandong Province is not a good person. I was just about to drink their blood. "
What about their hearts! "PiZheng don't believe it. Tu Anyi also made suggestions on how to overthrow Gong Hui. PiZheng listened to, loudly way
Drink a way: "Who taught you to talk!" Tu Anyi saw that he didn't believe it, so he had to bite his finger and swear to heaven with blood:
"For heaven's sake, if I am half-hearted, the whole family will die." In this way, PiZheng letter, followed PiZheng away.
This group of people conspired. They wrote a letter to Zhong Er to get him ready to come back. Ten ministers, including Pizheng, * * Hua and Tu Anyi.

Tu Anyi took the letter to his chest. The next day, when they went to court, Gong Hui asked Pi Zheng, "Why do you welcome your son?"

Yan Ying was the prime minister of Qi Jinggong during the Warring States Period, and his figure was not very tall. According to the cloud, he is less than six feet long (equivalent to four feet three inches now), but
He is very talented and famous as a bannerman. One day, Yan Ying went out to see the car, which was driven by his charioteer (coachman). That royal family
The charioteer's wife is very virtuous When the driver was looking at the car and passed by his door, his wife peeked under the door and saw her.
The husband waved a whip and looked triumphant.
When her husband came home that night, she scolded him: "Yan Ying was less than six feet long, and he became the prime minister of Qi and became famous."
All the princes in the world know him and worship him. I think his attitude is still modest, and he is not complacent at all.
Thinking; You are eight feet long, and your appearance is much more magnificent than his. You are just his driver, you are proud, you are proud.
Son, so you won't be developed, you can only do some humble work. I'm so sorry for you! "
After listening to his wife's words, the charioteer's attitude gradually changed, and he seemed modest and kind everywhere. Ying suddenly saw the charioteer.
En Qian felt very strange and asked him why. The coachman honestly told Yan Ying what his wife had said. evening
Because he heard the baby's advice and can immediately turn over a new leaf, he is a man worthy of promotion, so he is recommended as a doctor's officer.
From this story of a good wife, later generations extended words of praise to others for having a good wife. Today, most people have a problem with his wife.
Being able to help her husband make progress in his career, studies and personality and improve her social status is
Said he had a good wife.

When Jin was in the state of Jin, two groups of people, Fan and Bank of China, prepared to attack. It was pointed out at that time that the war was successful.
The key to success or failure lies in whether the people support it. If it can't win the trust and support of the people, it will undoubtedly fail. Fan Shi
Attacking Jin Dinggong with the Bank of China is an act of rebellion, and the people will not support them. Besides, Jin Dinggong himself once.
You failed in conquering the monarch and ended up in a foreign country, which can be said to be a failure. Like a hand that has been broken three times.
A man with one arm has recovered after medical treatment, but he has tasted the taste of broken arm; After several broken arms and treatment experiences.
In middle school, he has learned the cause of broken arm and the process and method of treatment. In other words, he is an old hand in middle school. therefore
The meaning of this idiom is quite profound.
No matter who he is, as long as he succeeds through repeated setbacks and hard struggle, we can all say that we are harmonious.
People who have struggled in trouble. Great men in the world are not born. He must have experienced it.
Many setbacks, but still insist on fighting, the result is success. Failure is the mother of success, and we can learn from great men.
"Triple" encourages people to encourage themselves.
Three people spread the news of a tiger, making you believe that there is a tiger around.
During the Warring States period, when attacking each other, in order to make everyone really keep their promises, countries generally gave their princes to each other.
As hostages. The Warring States Policy; "Wei Ce" has this record:
Pang Cong, minister of Wei, will accompany Wang Wei to Zhao as a hostage. Before he left, he said to Wang Wei:
"Now there is a person who says there are tigers in the market. Can you believe it? "
Wei Wangdao: "I don't believe it."
Pang Cong said, "If a second person says there are tigers in the market, can your majesty believe it?"
Wei Wangdao: "I have some doubts."
Pang cong added, "if a third person says there are tigers in the market, will your majesty believe it?"
Wei Wangdao: "Of course I will believe it."
Pang Cong said: "It is clear that there will be no tigers in the market, but after three people said it, it seems that there really are."
I killed a tiger. Now Handan, the capital of Zhao, is far away from the beam of Wei, much farther than the market here, and more than one person is talking about me.
Three. I hope your majesty can see it clearly. "
Wei Wangdao: "I know everything myself."
Pang Cong accompanied the prince back to China, but Wang Wei didn't summon him again.
Cities are places where population is concentrated. Of course there will be no tigers. It is obviously a rumor and deception to say that there are tigers in the market, but many people do.
To put it bluntly, if you don't look at the problem from the point of view, you will often believe it.
This story was originally intended to satirize Wei Huiwang's ignorance. Later, the world extended this story to the idiom "Three people make a tiger", which is
This is a borrowed metaphor. Sometimes rumors can cover up the truth For example, to judge the truth of a matter, we must go through careful investigation.
And thinking, not hearsay. Otherwise, "three men make a tiger" will sometimes mistake rumors for truth.
Repeated warnings and orders
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous military scientist named Sun Wu. He took his own Art of War to see the King of Wu and He Lu.
After reading it, the prince of Wu said, "I have read all your thirteen articles on the art of war. Do you want to try my army? " Sun Wu agreed.
With. The king of Wu asked again, "Is it okay to do experiments with women?" Sun Wu also said yes. So the king of Wu called one hundred and eighty Gong Zhongmei.
Female, please ask Sun Wu to train.
Sun Wu divided them into two teams, with two ladies-in-waiting who were favored by the prince of Wu as captains and told them to each take a halberd. group
After Wu stood still, Sun Wu asked, "Do you know how to turn forward, backward, left and right?" The female soldiers said, "I see.
Tao. Sun Wu said, "I look forward to my heart; Look at my left hand to the left; Look right at my right hand; Look back at my back.
After that. "The female soldier said," I see. " So Sun Wu's task was to move out the shovel (an instrument of torture used to kill people in ancient times), and he repeatedly did so.
They applied for discipline. Then he beat the drum and gave the order to turn right. How do you know that the female soldiers not only don't follow orders, but laugh.
When Sun Wu saw it, he said, "I can't explain it clearly. It should be the fault of the generals. " So he said what he just said in detail.
Explain it to them again. Then beat the drum and give the order to turn left. The female soldiers still just laughed.
Sun Wu said, "It's the general's fault that the explanation is unclear. Since he made it clear that he didn't listen to orders, that was the captain.
And the fault of the soldiers. "Say that finish life around the entourage beheaded the two captains. When the prince of Wu saw that Sun Wu wanted to cut off his love, he urged him.
Someone sent someone to intercede with Sun Wu, but Sun Wu said, "Since I was appointed as a general, I am in the army, and your life will not be affected!" toe the line
Two female captains will be beheaded, and then two leaders will be appointed as captains. Since then, all female soldiers have been back and forth, left and right.
Even the complicated movement of kneeling and standing up is practiced seriously, and I dare not play anymore.
This story originated from The Biography of Sun Tzu Wu Qi in Historical Records. Later; People put Sun's repeated explanations to female soldiers,
It is extended to "three orders and five applications", which means repeatedly warning people. For example, a local government has repeatedly warned food stores to pay attention to food.
It can be said that the government has "three" measures to ensure the cleanliness of food stores.
Engage in five applications ":everyone already knows.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Ping once asked Qi Huangyang:
"Nanyang county lacks a county magistrate. Who do you think should be sent? "
Qi Huangyang replied without hesitation:
"Call XieHu, the most appropriate. He is sure to be competent! "
Gong Ping was surprised to ask him again:
"XieHu isn't your enemy? Why recommend him! "
Qi Huangyang said:
"You only ask me who is capable and who is the most suitable; You didn't ask me if Xie Hu was my enemy! "
