First of all, make the finishing point.
Zhang Sengyou was a famous painter in the Southern Dynasties. Once, the emperor ordered him to draw dragons on the wall of anrakuji in Jinling. Soon, two lifelike dragons appeared on the wall. At this time, the emperor found that two dragons had no eyes, so he asked Zhang Sengyou why.
Zhang Sengyou replied, "You draw your eyes and they fly away." People don't believe it. The emperor insisted that he draw eyes, so Zhang Sengyou had to point his eyes at one of the dragons. Lightning and thunder flashed in an instant, and the dragon really flew away.
Second, Ye Gong is good at dragons.
It is said that there was a Ye Gong in ancient times who liked dragons very much. Dragons are painted on utensils and carved on houses. When Zhenlong knew about it, he went to Ye Gong's house and put his head in the window. Lord Ye turned pale with fear and ran away.
Third, carve a boat for a sword.
A man in the state of Chu accidentally dropped his sword into the water while crossing the river. He carved a mark on the side of the boat where the sword fell into the water. When the boat stopped, he went into the water from the marked place to look for the sword, but naturally he couldn't find it.
Fourth, gild the lily.
A man in the state of Chu invited people to drink, but there were fewer people. It is agreed that whoever draws a snake on the ground will drink. A man drew a picture first, holding wine in his left hand, ready to drink. At the same time, he drew feet for snakes with his right hand and said, "I can draw feet for snakes!" " "Before the feet were finished, another man had finished drawing the snake and said," Snakes have no feet. How can you add feet to it? "So I picked up the wine and gulped it down.
Five, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
An old man named Sai Weng keeps many horses. One day, a horse was lost and neighbors comforted him. Sai Weng smiled and said, "What good luck might it bring to lose a horse?" A few days later, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a Xiongnu war horse. Neighbors congratulated Sai Weng, who said anxiously, "Getting something for nothing is not necessarily a blessing.
Sai Weng's son likes this horse very much. He rides out every day. One day, he fell off his horse and broke his leg. Neighbors came again to offer their condolences. Sai Weng said: nothing, maybe it is a blessing to break your leg. 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.
