On the wisdom of common words involving idioms and special sentence patterns: the textbook drama "Yanzi makes Wu Yanzi look up to the world" contains many idioms to edit the original story of this paragraph.
Yan zi makes Chu. The Chu people called it "short for" and "extended for", because the small gate is on the edge of the city gate. Yan Zi refused to go in and said, "Let the dog country go in through the dog door. I am an envoy of Chu, so I can't enter this door. " It's best to enter through the gate.
When he met the king of Chu, the king of Chu said, "Is there no one here? Let children become ambassadors. " He said to him, "Qi's face is 300 meters long, his face is cloudy and he is sweating like rain, standing side by side. Why is there no one? " The king said, "But what is a special envoy?" Yan Zi said to him: "Everyone has his own master, the sage makes the sage master, the unscrupulous makes the unscrupulous master, and the baby is the most unscrupulous, so it is appropriate to make Chu Yi." Yan Zi will make Chu. Hearing this, the King of Chu said to the left and right, "Yan Ying, a poet of the State of Qi, is one of them. Today, I want to humiliate it. Why? " "For his sake," said the left and right, "I'll ask you to tie someone up and walk over the king. The king said, "What is it?" Right:' Qi people are also.' The king said, "Why sit down?" Say, "Sit down and steal." "Chu Wang Yanzi gave wine, and the wine was drunk, and the collectors tied one person to the king (easy). The king said, "Who bound you?" He said, "Qi people are also thieves. The King of Qi looked at Yan Zi and said, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" ? Yan Zi avoided the table and said, "Babies can smell it, but oranges were born in Huainan and oranges were born in Huaibei. Leaves are similar to disciples, but they taste different. What's that? Soil and water are different. Now people's livelihood is better than Qi's, but they stole it when they went to Chu. If they have water and soil without Chu, the people will be good at stealing. " Wang said with a smile, "saints are not interested in happiness, but I am interested in disease." "

Yan Zi went to the State of Chu. Because of his short stature, the Chu people specially opened a small door beside the city gate to welcome Yan Zi. Yan Zi refused to go in, saying, "Only those who are sent to the dog country can go in through the dog hole. I'm going to Chu now, so I can't enter this gate. " The person who greeted the guests had to divert their attention and asked Yan Zi to enter through the gate. Yan Zi visited the King of Chu. The king of Chu said, "Is there no one in Qi? I sent you as a messenger. Yanzi replied: "Linzi is the capital of Qi, with a large population. Opening sleeves together can cover the sun and sweat all over the world. How can it be said that there is no one in Qi? King Chu said, "In that case, why did you send someone like you as a special envoy?" The answer said, "The envoys sent by the State of Qi have their own opinions and rules. A wise man sent him to a wise monarch (his country), and a man without virtue and talent sent him to an incompetent monarch (his country). I am the most incompetent person, so I have to send him to Chu. Bring the prisoner up.
Yan Zi will be sent to the State of Chu. When the King of Chu heard the news, his opponent said, "Yan Ying is good at talking in Qi. Now he's here. I want to insult him. What can I do? " The man replied, "when he arrives, please allow us to walk past the king with people tied." The king asked, "What does he do?" We replied, "(He) is from Qi." The king asked again, "What crime have you committed?" (We) replied: "(He) committed theft. When Yanzi arrived in Chu, the king of Chu invited Yanzi to drink. When drinking happily, two soldiers tied a man to the king of Chu. The king of Chu asked, "What do the people who are tied up do?" The answer is: "(He) is a Qi person and has committed theft. The king of Chu looked at Yan Zi and asked, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" ? Yan Zi left the meeting and replied, "I heard that oranges grow in the south of Huaihe River, while oranges grow in the north of Huaihe River, but the leaves are similar in shape, but the fruits taste different." What is the reason? The soil and water conditions are different. Now this man doesn't steal in the state of Qi, but steals as soon as he arrives in Chu. Is it because of the good soil and water in Chu that the people are good at stealing? "The king of Chu said with a wry smile," saints can't joke with him. Instead, I went to bring shame on myself. "

Yan Zi: Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your great trust. (kneeling on the ground) (A minister came to the parliament hall of Chu to report) Minister: It is reported that Qi will send Yan Zi to visit our country. King Chu: Hum, how dare Xiao Qi come to my great country to see how I humiliate the emissary. (Ministers laugh, then whisper to each other) Scene 2 (At the gate of Chu State, two warriors stand guard with long knives, and ministers are waiting for Yan Zi. The city gate is closed. ) Yan Zi: (stepping forward) I have met adults. Minister: Messenger, this way, please. (pointing to the "dog hole") Yan Zi: (speaking slowly to the minister) This is a dog hole, not a city gate. Only by visiting the "dog country" can you enter from the dog hole. I'll wait here for a while. Ask first, what kind of country is Chu? (The minister retreats and whispers to the king of Chu. Minister: (walking towards Yan Zi) Messenger, please. (Pointing at the gate, the warrior opens the door) Scene 3 (Chu Hall) Yan Zi: (Holding hands and bowing) Meet the king of Chu. King Chu: (sneers) Is there no one in Qi? Yan Zi: (seriously) What is this? Linzi, the capital of China, is full of people. Everyone was sweating, it was a shower; Pedestrians in the street jostled shoulder to shoulder, toes touching heels. How did the King of Qi say that there was no one in Qi? King Chu: Since there are so many people, why did you come? Yan Zi: (embarrassed) I really can't answer your question. Tell a lie, afraid of committing the crime of deceiving the monarch; To tell the truth, I'm afraid the king will be angry. King Chu: (disdainfully) To tell the truth, I'm not angry. Yan Zi: (Bowing his head) There is a rule in our country: when visiting a country at a higher level, you should send someone at a higher level; Visit bad countries and send bad people away.

Another year, Yan Ying was ordered to go to Wu. One morning, Yan Ying came to the palace, waiting to meet the king of Wu. After a while, an order came from the attendants: "The son of heaven summoned." Yan Ying Zheng, when did the prince become the son of heaven? At that time, although Zhou existed in name only, the vassal States still called Zhou Wei, which was his exclusive title. Yan Ying reacted immediately. This is the prince showing off his national strength. So he played it by ear and pretended not to hear. The bodyguard repeated loudly again, but Yan Ying still ignored it. The guard had no choice but to go straight to him and say slowly, "Please look at the son of heaven." Yan Ying deliberately pretended to be surprised and asked, "I went to Wu on the orders of the King of Qi. Who knows that Yan Ying was so stupid that he went in the wrong direction and came to the court of the son of heaven. I'm terribly sorry. Where can I find the king of Wu? " After listening to the master's report, the king of Wu had no choice but to give an order: "Please see the king of Wu." Upon hearing this, Yan Ying immediately swaggered up to the Prince and asked him to see his ministers. The prince of Wu wanted to make things difficult for Yan Ying in this way, but he was cut down and embarrassed. But he won't give up and wants to continue to make things difficult for Yan Ying. He deliberately pretended to be sincere and said to Yan Ying, "What should a king of a country do if he wants to maintain the prestige of the country and hold his own territory for a long time?" Yan Ying replied without thinking: "People first; After yourself; Give benefits first, then punish; Strong does not bully the weak, expensive does not bully the cheap, rich does not arrogant and poor. Don't use force to defeat the monarch of other countries, and don't use force to annex other countries. This is the right way to safeguard national prestige. Otherwise; Very dangerous. " After listening to Yan Ying's speech, the pretentious prince couldn't think of any problem to embarrass Yan Ying. With her cleverness, Yan Ying once again won the task quietly.

On another occasion, Yan Ying went to the State of Jin. Uncle Doctor of the State of Jin was puzzled to see that Yan Ying's costume was very shabby. At the banquet, he asked politely, "Excuse me, sir, what's the difference between thrift and meanness?" Ying understood her uncle's intention and was not angry. He replied seriously: "frugality is the virtue of a gentleman, and meanness is the evil virtue of a villain." To measure the amount of property, we should use it in a planned way, don't hoard it excessively when we are rich, don't borrow money from others when we are poor, don't indulge our selfish desires and waste money, and always remember the sufferings of the people. This is frugality. If you accumulate wealth for yourself and don't want to help the people, even if you spend a lot of money, it is stingy. " Uncle listened with awe, dare not judge a book by its cover, and despise Yan Ying. As an outstanding diplomat who goes down in history, Yan Ying not only adheres to principles but also is flexible, with softness in the middle and rigidity in the middle. In the face of the arrogance and censure of big countries, he is neither humble nor humble, and he is both rigid and soft. He solves problems again and again and does not lose face when going abroad. He maintained and defended the dignity of Qi state again and again, and won a high reputation among the vassal states. From then on, Gong Jin never disrespected Yan Zi again.

Zhang Gao, an official under Yan Zi, was dismissed. The officials who followed him dissuaded Yan Zi and said, "Gao Kuang has worked with you for three years and has never given him a position. It is morally wrong to dismiss him." Yan Zi said, "I am a narrow and shallow person. I want everyone to tighten the net like a rope, so that the net can be stable and the country can be established. Up to now, Gao has worked by my side for three years and never said a word to correct my mistakes. That's why I want to fire him. "
Editing this paragraph contains many idioms.
This lesson in Yan Zi Shi Chu contains many idioms, some of which are generated by the story itself and some of which are hidden in the story. Bring disgrace to oneself sweated profusely and walked side by side behind his heels. The whole story is an idiom: bring disgrace to oneself. This idiom first appeared in The Analects of Confucius. Zi Gong asked how to make friends. Confucius said, "Good advice leads to good advice. If he doesn't listen, forget it. Don't bring disgrace to oneself. " But most descendants' understanding of this idiom comes from this passage. The king of Chu tried to insult Yan Zi three times, but the result was not only easily solved by Yan Zi, but also insulted by Yan Zi at last. This idiom means that you are insulted and embarrassed because of yourself. 2. In the face of the second insult of the King of Chu, Yan Zi responded to the King of Chu like this: "What is this? Linzi, the capital of China, is full of people. Everyone pulls their sleeves, which is a cloud; Everyone was sweating, it was a shower; Pedestrians in the street jostled shoulder to shoulder, toes touching heels. How did the king say that there was no one in Qi? " There are at least two idioms hidden in this passage of Yan Zi: first, sweating like rain: waving and throwing away; Everyone sweated with their hands, and the sweat spilled was like rain, which described many people. Of course, this idiom later described sweating a lot, but it was not originally intended. The second is shoulder to shoulder: comparison, and; Side by side, side by side; Heel, heel; Heel, toe touching heel. Side by side, feet next to feet, describe crowding. This idiom is also written as "shoulder to shoulder". These two idioms are found in Yanzi Chunqiu, which belong to ancient books and are ready-made. The author of the article explained their meaning and wrote it in Yan Zi's reply. 3. When the King of Chu laughed at Qi people for stealing, Yan Zi stood up and said, "Why didn't your majesty know?" ? Citrus in Huainan is big and sweet. And a citrus species in Huaibei can only produce small and bitter oranges. Isn't it because the water and soil are different? By the same token, the people of Qi lived and worked in peace and contentment in Qi, and became thieves in Chu. Maybe the water and soil in the two countries are different. "This passage contains an idiom: southern oranges and northern oranges. Fructus Aurantii: Deciduous shrub, bitter and sour, spherical. Also called orange. Oranges in the south will become bitter oranges when transplanted to the north of Huaihe River. Metaphor means that the same species varies due to different environmental conditions. Later generations used "orange in the south and orange in the north" to describe the influence of environment on people. In modern Chinese, it seems to be used in a slightly derogatory place to describe something "alienated" or "deteriorated" because of the change of environment.
