Seek the inspiration and sentiment of mirror image, mainly with allusions or philosophical phrases! ! !
After the death of Wei Zhi, a famous minister, Emperor Taizong mourned him and said: "People can take copper as a mirror, dress properly, take history as a mirror, see the ups and downs (ups and downs), and take people as a mirror to know the gains and losses; Wei Zhi didn't, I lost a mirror. " This is a famous saying widely read by later generations, but there are some inaccuracies here. In fact, Emperor Taizong did not take Wei Zhi as a mirror to examine his own gains and losses. The mirror he referred to was actually Yang Guang, the emperor of Yang Di. Wei Zhi is just a good supervisor. He has a good eye and dares to correct the mistakes of Emperor Taizong.

Einstein's mirror

Einstein was a very playful child when he was a child. He often plays with a group of children. His mother was worried, but all the warnings went in one ear and out the other. He often answers his mother like this: "Why should I study when other children are playing?" I am no worse than them. "Until the autumn morning of 16, my father stopped Einstein who was about to go fishing by the river and told him a story that changed Einstein's life. The story goes like this:

"Yesterday," Einstein's father said, "my neighbor Uncle Jack and I went to clean a big chimney in the southern factory. The chimney can only go up if you step on the steel ladder inside. Your uncle Jack is in the front and I am in the back. We grabbed the handrail and finally climbed up step by step. When I came down, your uncle Jack was still in front and I was still behind him. Later, when we got out of the chimney, we found a strange thing: your uncle Jack's back and face were blackened by soot in the chimney, and I didn't even have any soot on me. "

Einstein's father continued to smile and said, "I saw your uncle Jack and thought I must be dirty like a clown, so I went to the nearby river to wash and wash." And your uncle Jack, seeing me clean when I came out of the chimney, thought he was as clean as me, so he washed his hands and went straight to the street. As a result, everyone in the street laughed and hurt their stomachs. They think your uncle Jack is crazy. "

Einstein couldn't help laughing with his father. When his father finished laughing, he solemnly said to him, "In fact, no one else can be your mirror. Only you are your own mirror. Taking others as mirrors, idiots may also take their own talents that day. "

Hearing this, Einstein suddenly looked ashamed.

Einstein left the naughty children. He always takes himself as a mirror to examine and reflect on himself, and finally reflects the brilliance of his life.

Mirror legend

Mo Mu, also known as the ugly girl. Five thousand years ago, in order to stop the tribe's "wedding robbery" incident, the Yellow Emperor deliberately chose an ugly woman (named Mo Mu) who was virtuous, gentle and ugly as his fourth wife. The Yellow Emperor also said: "Those who value beauty over virtue are not true beauty, and those who value virtue over color are true saints." Five thousand years ago, the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou, surrendered to Shennong, calmed the war, unified the three tribes, ended the barbaric era, and mankind just began to enter a civilized society. Dressing up, building boats and cars, and dressing up have also become essential things in everyone's daily life. At that time, in order to tidy up their unkempt appearance, our ancestors often faced a basin of water, or stood by a calm river or water to tidy up. So it is recorded in ancient books that this kind of "looking in the mirror" is called "watching the water". So, what does this have to do with Mo Mu?

According to legend, the first mirror used by human beings was discovered and made by Mo Mu. At that time, people in The Yellow Emperor's Palace often stood by the water to reflect their faces and dress up. Mo Mu thinks he is ugly, so he won't go to the water to dress himself up easily, and he won't show his face at festivals. All I know is that I revolve around the Yellow Emperor all day. On one occasion, Tong Yu's name was Mo Mu, and she went up the mountain to dig slate. Without further ado, Mo Mu went up the hill with the name of Tong Yu. Mo Mu has great strength and can dig slate faster than other women. I dug more than 20 pieces in less than half a day. At this time, the sun is already noon, and the sun shines on the earth. Mo Mu suddenly found a shiny stone in the pile, and the sunshine was very dazzling. Mo Mu bent down and gently dug it out of the ground with his hand. He was startled when he held it in his hand. What kind of monster is this? His ugly face is on this stone. Even she feels strange! She quietly hid the stone in her body and went back to the palace of the Yellow Emperor without telling anyone. When no one was around, she took out the stone again and found that the plane of the stone was uneven. The face reflected on it is strange. Mo Mu went to the factory that made stone knives and axes and found a millstone. He pressed the stone on it and rubbed it repeatedly. It didn't take long, and the surfaces of all the stones were smooth. She took a picture with it, which was much clearer than before. It's just that my face is still so ugly She grinded it for a while, picked it up and took another picture. She is still ugly. Mo Mu sighed to himself and said, "It seems that an ugly face can't blame a stone piece (mirror)." From then on, Mo Mu never went to the river or the water to make up. Get up every morning, according to the stone, tidy up yourself, and then hide quietly after use. Over time, Mo Mu also careless. On one occasion, Mo Mu helped Tong Yu cook the meat on the slate. Due to excessive firepower, the slate was blown up, and a piece of gravel flew up, breaking Mo Mu's face and bleeding profusely. Mo Mu hurried back, took out the stone tablet and put the medicine on his face. Who knows, the Yellow Emperor doesn't know when he will come back. He followed Mo Mu and found Mo Mu rubbing something on himself with one hand and sticking medicine on his face with the other. The Yellow Emperor walked behind Mo Mu and put his head close to Mo Mu's shoulder, ready to observe carefully. Unexpectedly, Mo Mu exclaimed! She found the face of the Yellow Emperor on that stone. Twist a head to see, just know the yellow emperor standing behind her. The Yellow Emperor asked Mo Mu, "What do you have in your hand?" Honest and upright Mo Mu, when he heard the question of the Yellow Emperor, knew that he should not cheat the Yellow Emperor, and poof, he knelt in front of the Yellow Emperor. Mo Mu told the Yellow Emperor from beginning to end that he had found this stone that could illuminate people, and begged the Yellow Emperor to forgive her. The Yellow Emperor smiled, held Mo Mu in his hand and said, "This is a great discovery for you. You are not only right, but also have made great contributions! " As soon as the Yellow Emperor said it, he immediately called Lei Zu, Lei Fang's family and Tong Yu's family, took out Mo Mu's impressive stone and asked his three wives to see it. Lei Zu smiled and said, "Huangdi, no wonder I haven't seen Mo Mu dressed up in the water for a long time. It turns out that she has this beautiful treasure. " Tong Yu immediately said, "Huangdi, this discovery should be attributed to Sister Mo Mu!" The Yellow Emperor said excitedly, "Of course, remember a merit!"

The use of mirrors by human beings began in the history of the Chinese nation.

No wonder, an ancient book "Yuan" said: "Xuanyuan is a mirror". The book "Biography of Xuanyuan" also said: "The emperor will be the queen mother and cast twelve mirrors. If you want to use them, you can use them." The book "Yi Shu" also said: "In Raozhou, it is said that Xuanyuan casts mirrors by the lake, and now there is Xuanyuan mirror grinding stone."

With the development of smelting technology, people invented iron mirrors and bronze mirrors. 4000 years ago, Egypt produced bronze mirrors. Later, bronze mirrors were also unearthed in China. After Qin and Han Dynasties, the manufacturing level of bronze mirrors in China has become famous at home and abroad. Bronze mirror is not only an instrument for dressing and shaping, but also a beautifully shaped handicraft.
