Prince You lives in the shade of a mountain. It snows heavily at night. He sleeps, opens a room, and orders to drink wine. Looking around is bright, and because of hesitation, I chant Zuo Si's "Poem of Zhao Yin".

E. Philosophical idioms The more stories the better

Happy to miss Shu

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei occupied the land of Shu and established the Kingdom of Shu. After his death, his son Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, also known as Liu Adou. Liu Chan was mediocre and incompetent. After the death of those talented ministers, the Kingdom of Shu was destroyed by Wei in 263 AD. After Liu Chan surrendered, King Cao Mao of Wei gave him the title of "An Le Gong" with a salary but no real power, and moved him to Xuchang, the capital of Wei.

The King of Wei himself had no real power, and Sima Zhao was the one who held the most power. At a banquet, Sima Zhao deliberately arranged a performance of Shu songs and dances in front of Liu Chan. Liu Chan's entourage were very sad when they thought of their lost homeland, but Liu Chan said to Sima Zhao: "I am happy here, but I don't miss Shu at all." He didn't miss Shu at all.

Based on this story, people have derived the idiom "Happy to miss Shu" to describe some people who are content with the status quo and are happy and forget to return. It also describes some people who enjoy themselves and forget their roots.

A dream in Nanke

This idiom comes from the novel "The Biography of the Prefect of Nanke" by Li Gongzuo, a writer of the Tang Dynasty in China in the ninth century AD.

There was a man named Chun Yufen who liked to drink. There is a large locust tree with deep roots and luxuriant leaves in the courtyard of his house. On a midsummer night, the moon and stars are scarce, the evening breeze blows, and the shadow of the tree is whirling. It is a good place to enjoy the cool air.

On Chun Yufen's birthday, his relatives and friends came to celebrate his birthday. He was so happy that he drank a few more glasses of wine. At night, all his relatives and friends went back. Chun Yufen, a little drunk, rested under the big locust tree and fell asleep unknowingly.

In the dream, Chun Yufen was invited by two envoys and entered a tree hole. The sunny weather inside the cave is like a different world, and it is known as the Great Sophora Kingdom. Just in time for the official selection examination to be held in the capital, he also signed up. After three exams, I wrote the article very smoothly. When the test results were announced, he ranked first. Then the emperor conducted an interview. When the emperor saw that Chunyu Fen was handsome and talented, he liked him very much, so he personally named him the number one scholar and married the princess to him. The number one scholar became the prince-in-law, and for a time it was a good talk in the capital.

After marriage, the relationship between husband and wife is very happy. Soon, Chunyu Fen was sent by the emperor to serve as the prefect of Nanke County. Chunyu Fen was diligent in administration and loved the people. He often went to the territory to investigate and study and inspect the work of his subordinates. The administration in various places was very clean and effective, and the local people greatly praised him. Thirty years later, Chunyu Fen's political achievements have become famous throughout the country. He also has five boys, two girls and seven children, and his life is very proud. The emperor tried several times to transfer Chunyu Fen back to the capital for promotion. When the local people heard about it, they rushed to the streets, blocked the eunuch's carriage, and forced him to retain him in Nanke. Chunyu Fen was moved by the people's love and had no choice but to stay and explain the situation to the emperor. The emperor appreciated his political achievements and rewarded him with many gold and silver treasures.

One year, Shanluo State sent troops to invade Dahuai State. The generals of Dahuai State were ordered to meet the enemy, but they were defeated several times by the enemy soldiers. When news of the defeat reached the capital, the emperor was shocked and hurriedly summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. The ministers heard that the frontline military had suffered repeated defeats and that the enemy was approaching the capital with extraordinary ferocity. Their faces turned pale with fear. You looked at me and I looked at you, and they were helpless.

The emperor looked at the ministers and said very angrily: "You usually live in dignity and enjoy all the glory, but once the country is in trouble, you become a mouthless gourd, timid and timid, what do you want? Use it? ”

At this time, the prime minister remembered Chun Yufen, the governor of Nanke who had outstanding political achievements, so he recommended it to the emperor. The emperor immediately ordered Chunyu Fen to lead the country's elite troops to fight against the enemy.

After receiving the emperor's order, Chunyu Fen immediately led his troops to fight. However, he knew nothing about the art of war. As soon as he fought with the enemy, he was completely defeated. His troops suffered heavy losses, and he himself almost became a prisoner. When the emperor heard the news, he was very disappointed and ordered Chun Yufen to be removed from all positions, demoted to a civilian, and sent back to his hometown. Chunyu Fen thought about how his whole life's reputation had been ruined. He was so ashamed and angry that he woke up from his dream with a loud cry. According to his dream, he searched for the Big Locust Tree. It turned out to be an ant hole under the big locust tree, where a group of ants lived.

"Nanke Yimeng" sometimes also means that life is like a dream, and wealth and power are ethereal.

Eat the hard work

In 496 BC, a war broke out between the Wu State and the Yue State in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River because of a small grudge! The young King Gou Jian of Yue took Fan Li as his military advisor and defeated the Wu army. The old King Wu also died of his injuries! The young Fu Chai ascended the throne. He vowed to destroy the Yue Kingdom. Three years later, Fu Chai led a powerful army to attack Yue. After the two sides fought, Yue defeated Wu Sheng, and the Wu army attacked Yue Duji. Li Zhong bribed the ministers of the State of Wu, Bo Pi, and Fu Cha, who tried their best to deal with each other. Finally, Fu Cha moved Huairen's heart and immortalized the Yue Kingdom. The country of Yue was preserved. Gou Jian led his queen and Fan Li into Wu as slaves. After being a slave for three years, Fu Chai fell ill. Fan Li seized the opportunity and asked Gou Jian to taste Fu Chai's feces to find the source of the disease. This completely influenced Fu Cha and released Gou Jian. Gou Jian, who returned to the State of Yue, slept on firewood and hung a rope from the beam of the house. At one end of the rope was a pig's gall, which was extremely bitter. When he woke up every day, the first thing he did was to take a bite of the bitter gall. Incomparable gall! For twenty years, he was untouchable, every day. In 473 BC, Gou Jian secretly raised 30,000 soldiers hidden among the people and besieged the city of Gusu in one fell swoop. At this time, Fu Chai still had 50,000 soldiers and horses, but he did not dare to go out of the city to fight because of the lack of food and grass. Gou Jian created a miracle in the history of human kings! He worked hard to inspire and strive to strengthen the country, creating a human legend of defeating the big with the small, defeating the strong with the weak, and hitting the stone with the egg! The allusion of lying on fuel and tasting gall is called a classic among the classics in the history of Chinese civilization for thousands of years. Gou Jian's superhuman will may have more human significance!

Looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst

One summer, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Zhang Xiu. The weather was extremely hot, the sun was blazing, and there were no clouds in the sky. The troops were on the winding mountain road. While walking, the dense trees on both sides and the rocks heated by the sun are breathtaking. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked through, their marching speed also slowed down, and several weak soldiers actually fainted on the roadside.

Cao Cao saw that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and he was worried that he would miss the opportunity to fight, and he was very anxious. However, now tens of thousands of people cannot even drink water, so how can they speed up? He immediately called the guide and asked him quietly: "Is there any water source near here?" The guide shook his head and said: "The spring is on the other side of the valley. It is still a long way to go around." Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "No. , there is no time." He looked at the woods in front of him, thought for a while, and said to the guide: "Don't say anything, I will think of a way." He knew that it would be useless to order the troops to speed up at this moment. After thinking about it, he came up with a solution. He clamped the horse's belly and rushed to the front of the team. He pointed forward with his riding crop and said: "Soldiers, I know there is a large plum forest ahead. The plums there are big and delicious. Let's hurry up." Hurry up and go around this hill to Merlin!" When the soldiers heard it, they seemed to have eaten it, and their spirits were high, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace.

The story comes from "Shishuoxinyu·Jiajue". The idiom "Looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst" is a metaphor for comforting oneself or others with fantasy.

Disasters everywhere

Explanation: It is a metaphor for the screams and displaced victims everywhere. Aihong: The mourning wild geese.

There is a poem titled "The Wild Goose" in "The Book of Songs·Xiaoya". Two of the sentences are: "The swan geese are flying, whining and wailing."

It means: The swan geese can't find a place to rest, and fly without a destination, crying sadly. Describe the miserable scene of displaced refugees *** calling for help.

Because of these two lines of poetry, people later called the refugees who could not live in peace "Ai Hong"; to describe the large number of suffering people who could be found almost everywhere, they said "Ai Hong everywhere" or "Ai Hong everywhere" or "Ai Hong everywhere". Hong".

The word "awow" in the original poem "whimpering and wailing" was later often used to describe the noisy sound of hunger, such as "wailing for food (crying and shouting, eager to be fed)" of)".

Love the house and the crow

Explanation: It is a metaphor for loving a person and caring about the people or things related to him.

Legend has it that King Zhou of Shang, the last king of the Yin and Shang dynasties, was a cowardly king who was extravagant, lustful, cruel and unscrupulous (see "Assisting Zhou to Abuse"). "Xibo" (chief of the western princes) Ji Chang, later King Wen of Zhou, was imprisoned because he opposed King Zhou, and he tried many ways to get out of prison. At that time, the capital of Zhou was in Qishan (now Qishan County, Shaanxi Province). After King Wen of Zhou returned to Qishan, he was determined to overthrow the rule of the Shang Dynasty. He first hired the military strategist Jiang Shang (also known as Jiang Taigong) as his military adviser, actively trained troops to prepare for war, and annexed several neighboring small states, gradually becoming more powerful. Then, he moved the capital east to Fengyi (near today's Hu County, Shaanxi Province) in preparation for marching eastward. However, King Wen of Zhou passed away not long after the capital was moved.

Ji Fa, the son of King Wen of Zhou, succeeded to the throne and became King Wu of Zhou. Jiang Taigong continued to serve as military advisor. King Wu's half-brother Ji Dan (ie Duke of Zhou) and half-brother Ji Shi (ie Duke of Zhao) were King Wu's two right-hand assistants. At the same time, King Wu also received the support of several other princes. Therefore, King Wu officially announced that he would send troops to defeat Zhou. The army crossed the Yellow River at Mengjin (a Yellow River ferry south of today's Meng County, Henan Province) and advanced to the northeast, approaching Chaoge of the Shang Dynasty (now northeast of Qi County, Henan Province). Because King Zhou of Shang had lost the hearts of the people, and many of the troops were unwilling to die for him, so some fled, some surrendered, and some rebelled, Chaoge was quickly conquered. King Zhou committed suicide, and the Shang Dynasty was destroyed. In the next eight hundred years, the world became the Zhou Dynasty, known as the Zhou Dynasty.

When King Wu of Zhou conquered Chaoge, King Wu had no idea how to deal with the powerful ministers, nobles, officials and soldiers left over from the Shang Dynasty, and whether the situation could be stabilized, so he was a little worried. For this reason, he discussed with Jiang Taigong and others. There is such a text record in "Shuo Yuan Guifa" compiled by Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty:

"King Wu conquered Yin, summoned the Taigong and asked: 'What will the general do to his soldiers?' The Taigong said He said: 'I heard that those who love others will also love the crows on the house; those who hate others will hate others. What if Xian Liu defeated the enemy and made the enemy more powerful? '" The main idea is: King Wu of Zhou defeated the Yin Shang and summoned them. Jiang Taigong asked, "How should we treat their people?" Taigong replied, "I heard that if you love that person, you will also love the crows on his house; if you hate that person, you will also take away his servants. Household officials. Kill all the hostile elements and leave no one behind. What do you think?"

The so-called "Yuxu" in the original text refers to the lowest-ranking clerk, the steward of the slave-owning nobles. and so on. (Yu, the meaning of the lowest class; subordinate; subordinate official.)

There is a similar record in the "Shang Shu Da Zhuan·Ba Zhan" compiled by Fu Sheng of the Han Dynasty: "Zhou died, and King Wu was as panic-stricken as the world. Undecided. He called Taigong and asked: "What can I do if I enter Yin?" Taigong said: "I heard that if you love others, you will have the crows on your house; if you don't love others, you will have nothing to do with them."

This record is similar to the content contained in "Shuo Yuan". However, the word "Yu Xu" is written as "Xu Yu", and the two have different meanings. "Xu Yu" no longer belongs to the rank of Xu Shi, but is a slave or prisoner other than subordinate officials who is lower than "Yu Xu". For example, Jizi, the "grand master" during the reign of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty, was dissatisfied with King Zhou and was imprisoned. He pretended to be crazy and was willing to be a slave, so "Zhuangzi" called him "Xu Yu".

In addition, "Han Shi Wai Zhuan" and "Six Tao Yi Wen" also have records about the above-mentioned conversation between King Wu of Zhou and Jiang Taigong, and the content is basically the same. Because of this legend, the idiom "Love the house and the bird" came into being.

There is a superstitious custom that has been spread in our country since ancient times. It is believed that the crow is an "unlucky bird". If it falls on the house of a house, that house will suffer misfortune. In the "Xiaoya" section of "The Book of Songs", one of my country's oldest poetry collections, there is a poem titled "The First Moon" that says, "Watching the clouds and falling in love, whose house is it?" It can be seen that many ancient people hated crows, but few people loved them. The so-called "love the house and the crows" means: because you love that person, even the crows on his house do not think it is ominous and do not feel annoying anymore. This idiom has always been used as a metaphor for love. Because you love someone deeply, you also love his relatives, friends and other people or other things, which is called "love the house and the crow", or this kind of love is called "the love of the crow".

In the poem "A Gift to Li Sizhang of Shehong" (Shehong, a place name, in today's Sichuan; Li Sizhang is Li Mingfu), the poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty begins with the following two sentences: "There are crows on my father-in-law's house. People are as good as birds." There is a poem in Lianxi Poetry written by Zhou Dunyi from the Song Dynasty: "Angrily moves crabs in the water, love reaches crows on the house." There is also an allusion to the idiom "Love the house and the crow" in the poem "Jian Li Boyi" written by Chen Shidao of the Song Dynasty, "When the time is clear, the birds in front of my door are seen, and when people are good, they see the crows in the king's house."

Walking to serve as a chariot

Source "Warring States Policy·Qi Ce IV"

It says: "Shu is willing to return, eat in the evening to serve as meat, stroll to serve as a chariot , To be innocent is to be precious, to be quiet and upright is to worry about oneself."

Interpretation means walking slowly, as if riding a car

Story During the Warring States Period, there was a scholar named Qi. Yan Shu. King Xuan of Qi admired his name and summoned him to the palace. Yan Shu walked into the palace casually and came to the stairs in front of the palace. When he saw King Xuan waiting for him to pay his respects, he stopped and stopped walking. King Xuan was very surprised when he saw it, so he called out: "Yan Shu, come here!" Unexpectedly, Yan Shu still didn't move a step, and called King Xuan: "Your Majesty, come here!" King Xuan was very unhappy after hearing this, and the ministers on the left and right saw Yan Shu. Mu Wujun uttered arrogant words, saying: "The king is the king, and you are the subject. The king can call you over, and you can call the king over. How can that be done?" Yan Shu said, "If I go in front of the king, I will explain. I envy his power; if the king comes over, it means that he treats the virtuous and the corporal. Rather than making me envy the king's power, it would be better for him to treat the virtuous and the corporal." King Xuan of Qi was angry and said, "Which one is more noble, the king or the scholar?" Shu said without thinking: "Of course scholars are noble, but kings are not noble!" King Xuan said: "Do you have any basis for saying this?" Yan Shu looked calm and said: "Of course there is.

In the past, when the Qin State attacked the Qi State, the King of Qin once issued an order: Anyone who dares to chop wood within fifty steps of Gao Shiliu Xiaji's tomb will be killed! He also issued an order: Anyone who dares to cut down the King of Qi will be killed. He was given the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and was given a bounty of 10,000 yin. From this point of view, the head of a living monarch was not even as good as the tomb of a dead scholar. "King Xuan of Qi was speechless and looked unhappy. The ministers rushed to relieve the siege: "Yan Shu, come here! Yan Shu, come here! Our king has a thousand chariots (thousands of battle capitals). Who dares to disobey in the east, west, south, and north? ?The king will have whatever he wants, and all the people will obey his orders. You scholars are so despicable!" Yan Shu retorted, "You are wrong! In the time of Yu the Great, there were as many princes as ten thousand nations. Why is this? Because he respects scholars. By the time of Shang and Tang, there were as many as three thousand princes. Today, there are only twenty-four people who are called lonely, Taoist, and widowed. From this point of view, paying attention to scholars is the key to gain or loss. From ancient times to the present, no one can become famous in the world by not being pragmatic. Therefore, a king should be ashamed of not asking others for advice frequently, and should be ashamed of not learning from people of lower status. When King Xuan heard this, he felt that he was in the wrong and said, "I am asking for trouble." After listening to your speech, I understand the behavior of the villain. I hope you will accept me as your student, and you will live here with me from now on. I guarantee that you will have meat to eat, that you will have a car when you go out, and that your wife and children will all be beautifully dressed. Yan Shu declined and said, "Jade is originally produced in the mountains. If it is processed by craftsmen, it will be destroyed. Although it is still precious, it has lost its original appearance." A scholar lives in a remote area. If he is selected, he will enjoy wealth and wealth. It does not mean that he cannot be noble and distinguished, but his external appearance and inner world will be destroyed. Therefore, I would rather your Majesty allow me to go back, eat late every day, and it will be as delicious as eating meat, walk steadily and slowly, enough to be used as a ride, and live peacefully, no worse than the rich and powerful. Be quiet and do nothing, be pure and self-sufficient, and enjoy it. It is you, Your Majesty, who orders me to speak, and it is I, Yan Shu, who declare my loyalty. " After Yan Shu finished speaking, he bowed twice to King Xuan and then left.

Live and work in peace and contentment

From "Laozi"

Enjoy delicious food and enjoy beautiful service. , live peacefully and enjoy the customs.

The meaning is a happy and stable life.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous philosopher and thinker. His surname was Li and his given name was Er. It is said that when he was born, he was a little old man with white hair and a white beard; so people called him "Laozi"; it was also said that he was born under a plum tree, so his surname was Li; His ears were particularly large, so he was named "Ear". In fact, Lao Yu was dissatisfied with the reality at that time and opposed the wave of innovation in society at that time. He wanted to go back to ancient times. Primitive society believed that material progress and cultural development destroyed people's simplicity and brought suffering to people, so they longed for the ideal society of "small country and few people". This is how the old man described the society he envisioned. : The country is small and the people are few. Even if there are many tools, people will not use them. Even if there are weapons and equipment, there is nowhere to use them. The people must return to the ancient method of tying ropes to remember things, eat well, wear comfortable clothes, live comfortably, and be content with the original customs of neighboring countries. You can see each other. You can hear the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, but people will not interact with each other until they grow old and die.

Safe and sound

Explanation: Peaceful, no harm or harm. An accident occurred. Illness, disease, also refers to disaster.

In 266 BC, the king of Zhao, King Zhao Huiwen, succeeded him as King Zhao Xiaocheng. Major matters were handled by his mother, Zhao Weihou, who was a wise and knowledgeable middle-aged woman. When she just took charge of state affairs, Qin State intensified its attack on Zhao State and attacked Qi State. Asking for help, Qi State asked Zhao Wei to send her youngest son Chang'an Jun to Qi State as a hostage before sending troops. Zhao Weihou was reluctant to leave her son, but after listening to the advice of Minister Chu Long, she still sent Chang'an Jun to Qi State. The State of Qi sent troops to help Zhao State defeat the Qin Army. Once, the King of Qi sent an envoy to the State of Zhao to greet Empress Zhao. The country’s harvest is not bad, right? Are the people safe? Is King Qi in good health? "

The envoy from Qi State was very unhappy after hearing this and said: "I was sent by the King of Qi to greet you. Now you don't ask the King of Qi first, but first ask about the harvest and the people. How can you treat the lowly people like this? Put it in the front and put the noble one in the back? "

Queen Wei smiled slightly and said, "No. If there is no harvest, how can there be people? If there are no people, how can there be a monarch? Is it okay to abandon the fundamentals and only ask about the details when greeting? "

The envoy from Qi was speechless after hearing this. This allusion of "safe and sound" later evolved into the idiom, "safe and sound".

Safe as Mount Tai

Explanation:

Stable as Mount Tai, which means very stable and unshakable.

This idiom comes from "A Letter to Admonish the King of Wu" by Meicheng of the Western Han Dynasty. If you can listen to the words of a loyal minister, you will be happy with every action. If you must do what you want, you will be in danger of being tired and difficult to pass; if you change what you want, it will be easy to turn your hand back and be content with Mount Tai.

Meicheng, courtesy name Shu, was born in Huaiyin (now part of Jiangsu) in the Western Han Dynasty. He was a famous writer in the Han Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he served as a doctor in the palace of King Wu Liu Bi.

Guan State was a big country among the princes at that time. King Wu Liu Bi (bi) was very ambitious, resentful of the central government, and secretly plotted rebellion. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty appointed Chao Cuo, a talented politician, as the imperial censor. Chao Cuo advocated reducing the territory of each vassal state, strengthening the power and prestige of the central government, and consolidating the unity of the country. Liu Bi saw that some princes and kings had their territories reduced one after another, and knew that he was inevitable, so he contacted the princes and kings of Chu, Zhao, Jiaoxi, Jiaodong and other countries to plot a rebellion.

Mei Cheng clearly saw the harm caused by Liu Bi's conspiracy to rebel, and wrote "A Letter to Remonstrate to the King of Wu" to remonstrate with Liu Bi. In his remonstrance, he said: "If you can listen to your loyal ministers, all disasters can be avoided. If you must do what you want, it will be more dangerous than stacking eggs and more difficult than heaven; However, if you can change your original mind as soon as possible, it will be easier than flipping your palms, and your position will be more stable than Mount Tai."

But Liu Bi persisted and stepped up his conspiracy. Therefore, Mei Cheng had no choice but to leave the state of Wu and became a guest in the residence of King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu. In 154 BC, Liu Bi contacted Chu, Zhao, Jiaoxi, Jiaodong and other princes, and launched a rebellion in the name of "Qing Jun side, killing Chao Cuo". In history, it is called the "Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu".

Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty believed the slander and killed Chao Cuo to express his apology to the princes and kings. At this time, Meicheng wrote another "Letter to Remonstrate to the King of Wu" to persuade Liu Bi to stop his troops. Liu Bi still refused to look back. Soon, General Zhou Yafu of the Han Dynasty led his army to defeat the Wu Chu rebels. King Liu Wu of Chu committed suicide, King Liu Bi of Wu fled to East Vietnam and was killed, and the other five kings also committed suicide or were killed. The rebellion failed completely after only three months. After the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms was settled, Meicheng became famous for his farsightedness and wisdom by writing the "A Letter to Admonish the King of Wu".

Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the throne and sent someone to recruit him to be an official in Beijing. Unfortunately, he died on the way before he reached the capital.
