One Hundred Thousand Guan
During the Tang Dynasty, there was a local official named Zhang Yanshang, who was fairly upright and honest in his work. On this day, Zhang Yanshang received a case involving human life. The case was serious and extraordinary. Zhang Yanshang, following his usual practice, attached great importance to this case and was determined to pursue it to the end. So he issued an order, ordering the detectives to conduct strict investigations and arrests, and to arrest the criminals as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yanshang came to the Yamen the next morning and was about to sit down to handle official duties when he found a note on the case that read: "I send you 30,000 yuan to request not to pursue this case. "When Zhang Yanshang saw it, his face suddenly darkened and he was very angry. He threw the note on the ground and shouted loudly: "Who dares to be so bold as to use 30,000 yuan to buy my integrity and interfere with my handling of the case!" So he issued an order again to intensify the investigation of this case. And determined to punish severely without credit.
Another day later, Zhang Yan was rewarded by the government, and once again found a note on the public case. There was not much content on it, but only an astonishing number written on it: "One hundred thousand guan." This time, Zhang Yanshang was almost frightened. He was in a dilemma. It seemed that the other party had a lot of background. Zhang Yanshang thought over and over again and finally decided to shelve the case and not pursue further investigation. Zhang Yanshang's original integrity was finally "bought out" by 100,000 yuan.
Later, one of Zhang Yanshang’s cronies found an opportunity and asked Zhang Yanshang privately: “Sir, why did you abandon the case and not ask about it?”
Zhang Yanshang replied: “The money has arrived. As much as one hundred thousand, even gods can buy it, let alone people! Since anyone can buy it, what can't be done? If I persist in pursuing it, I will encounter obstacles everywhere except myself. Looking for hardship and disaster, what will be the consequences? So I have no choice but to stop the investigation and save my life and career."
It can be seen that in that society where money can be used to communicate with God! Here, where is justice, where is the king's law! Fable 3

A farce to prove that you are not a mere mortal. After failing again and again, mortals finally discovered that they were just mortals. It is precisely because of this discovery that the gains and losses of all things seem to be nothing. Missing each other again and again, passing away superior conditions again and again, failing one after another? Mortals ask themselves: Is this the sorrow of mortals? Mortals are mortals, and mortals only have ordinary hearts, so mortals say to themselves: Why be depressed? Why should I look at other people's roles and feel frustrated? There must be a role in this world that suits me.
Mortals gradually discover that mortals also have successes. A kind praise, a deep touch, and a huge harvest? It all means success for mortals.
The word success does not mean being famous like Einstein or benefiting mankind like Edison. Mortals finally know that all success does not have to be spectacular or to stand out. As long as you control yourself and live well, Don't waste your time in troubles, you will find that in the vast sea of ??people, you are also an extraordinary one
How far can a person run? This is not about feet but about ambition; how fast a person can run is not about feet but about quality. Fable 4
Duke Ai often told others how much he longed for talents and how much he liked people with knowledge and talent. A man named Zi Zhang heard that Duke Ai of Lu welcomed talented people, so he came to the state of Lu from a far away place and asked to see Duke Ai of Lu.
Zizhang stayed in the state of Lu for seven days, but he did not see the shadow of Duke Ai of Lu. It turned out that Duke Ai of Lu said he liked knowledgeable people just to follow the fashion and imitate what other monarchs said. He didn't take Zizhang seriously when he came to ask for an audience, and he had already forgotten it. Zi Zhang was very disappointed and angry. He told a story to the driver of Duke Ai of Lu, and asked the driver to tell the story to Duke Ai of Lu.
Then, Zi Zhang left quietly.
Finally one day, Duke Ai of Lu remembered that Zizhang had asked for an audience, and was going to ask his coachman to invite Zizhang. The coachman said to Duke Ai of Lu, "He has already left." Duke Ai of Lu was very confused. He asked the coachman, "Didn't he come to seek refuge with me? Why did he leave again?" So the coachman asked Lu Ai Duke Ai relayed the story left by Zi Zhang. The story goes like this: There was a man named Ye Zigao who always boasted to others about how much he liked dragons.
He painted dragons on the hooks of his clothes, carved dragons on the wine utensils, and carved dragons on all the carved places in his house and bedroom. The real dragon in the sky knew that Ye Zigao liked dragons so much and was very touched. One day, the real dragon landed at Ye Zigao's home. It stuck its head into the window to visit and dragged its tail on the hall. Ye Zi was so frightened that his face changed color, and he turned around and ran away in panic. The real dragon felt baffled and disappointed. In fact, Ye Gong does not really like dragons, he just likes them in form and verbally. Fable 5
The Golden Pot and the Alchemy Book
When Qi Jinggong came to inspect the annexed former vassal state of Ji, he found a golden pot in the capital. He opened it and took a look. , I saw a silk script written in red pen hidden inside, which contained the eight-character maxim (zhen): "Eat fish without any resistance, and don't ride on a slave (nu) horse."
Qi Jinggong's Alchemy Book After holding it in his hand and playing with it for a while, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "Yes, this is how you should behave. You should only eat one side of fish and don't turn it over, because the smell of fish can make people sick; you should not ride on it when you go out. A horse that cannot run fast cannot go far because it lacks endurance."
Yan Zi listened and quickly corrected: "These eight words do not mean what you understand. "Eat fish without rebellion" is a warning to the monarch and ministers not to be greedy and not to exhaust the people's strength, otherwise it will damage the vitality of the country; the so-called "don't ride on a rogue horse" is a metaphor that the monarch cannot let go of people with bad qualities. They should be around and entrust them with important responsibilities, otherwise they will harm the country and harm the people." After hearing Yan Zi's explanation, Qi Jinggong nodded frequently, but at the same time he asked in confusion: "Since Ji Guo is like this! How can it lead to the destruction of a country if it is a good maxim for governing the country?"
Yanzi replied, "There is a reason for this. I heard that any wise king always has some wise words for governing the country. Publicly post it in the streets and alleys, and advertise it widely, so that the whole country can abide by it, and at the same time mobilize the people to supervise at any time. Although Ji Guo has such a good motto for governing the country, he pours it into a golden pot and puts it on the shelf. It’s not implemented. Do you think they can do this without destroying the country?”
This story shows that if there is a law but it is not implemented, it is like being unable to do so. If a person just puts the motto of self-cultivation in his seat but does not intend to implement it, he will not be able to make progress; if a country cannot put good governance policies into practice, then no matter how good the national policy is, it can only be empty words! Fable 6
In the closed mountain villages, the people there got a strange disease hundreds of years ago, that is, no one can walk with their feet, and everyone can only walk on their knees. But after several generations of reproduction, this strange disease has completely disappeared.
But people are used to walking on their knees and think that’s how they should walk.
A rich man in this mountain village finally walked out of the mountain village and saw the outside world, and discovered a strange thing - shoes. I bought a box and went back. People in the mountain village watched curiously. As time went by, people's curiosity disappeared, and no one came to see it again. Rich people think that such a box of things is of no use and cannot be kept in their hands. So I found a troublemaker in the village, whose surname was Chen Minggui. Let Chen Gui find a way to sell this box of shoes.
Chen Gui visited all the wealthy families in the village but failed to sell a few pairs. After all, people don’t know enough about this kind of ornament. Chen Gui had no choice but to sit on the roadside and chat and hawk at the same time. At this time, a young man came over, looked at it, played with it, put it on his feet and wanted to stand up. Chen Gui said sarcastically: "How old are you!" Meaning, how could you do such a childish thing? The young man had no choice but to leave in silence. The more the young man thought about it when he got home, the more he thought he should try it. The next day I came to the shoe stall full of hope and was ridiculed by Chen Gui again. But the young man never gave up and secretly bought a pair of shoes through other channels to wear on his feet. Although the shoes don't fit my feet, they feel better than walking on my knees.
Young people happily go out to experience the happiness brought by their novel ideas. At this time, he was ridiculed by everyone headed by Chen Gui. The young man's behavior was reported to the village chief. The village chief came to the young man's house, and the young man said excitedly: "Village Chief, I was just looking for you. The shoes I'm wearing don't fit well. I want to change them." The village chief said: "The way you walk is no longer legal. Look at who in our village walks like this, and you still want to change it without permission! You are required to take off your shoes immediately and put them as handicrafts at home, and you are not allowed to wear them on your feet in the future." After the village chief left, the young man was silent. Yes, our village does not have legal regulations to allow it. Besides, standing up and walking so much higher than others will make people feel depressed and appear to be disrespectful to others, so we are recruiting people. Jealousy and hate. It's not very convenient for me, because many places are arranged according to kneeling standards. After thinking about it, I had to take a breath and drag the shoes off and put them on the cabinet.
At this time, Chen Gui also came to the young man's house and persuaded him earnestly: "Don't be crazy, we have been walking on our knees like this for several generations." In order to show his firm stance, he cut off his own feet. Because people in this village have always walked on their knees, their feet have never been used. Over time, the feet have shrunk, and they are still in the way, so there is a custom of cutting them off, just like the Japanese who cut off their appendix.
Time passed like this day by day, and the young man was always very upset. He was thinking that walking in shoes is indeed much more comfortable than walking on his knees, but why is no one willing to try to change it? Thinking about it, I put on my shoes and ran out. At this time, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy rain. Because people were unprepared, they had to struggle to move back in the heavy rain. But the young man ran back home quickly. And was seen by a few sharp-eyed young people. From then on, more and more people wore shoes in the village. Within a year, most of the people in the village were wearing shoes. Some of them are still trying hard to massage and exercise to find ways to restore the function of their feet, but only those who are tired of looking at their shoes are sighing. Fable 7

Abag was tired and scared, and in the end he could hardly walk. Dad took out 5 coins from his pocket, buried one coin in the grass, put the other 4 coins in Abag's hand, and said: "There are 5 gold coins, childhood, youth, youth, middle age, Each old man has one. You have just used one now, the one buried in the grass. You can't throw all 5 of them in the grass. You have to use them little by little, and make a difference every time. This is a life worth living. We must step out of the grassland today, and you must step out of the grassland in the future. When you are alive, you must walk more places and see more, and don’t throw away your gold coins without use. "With the encouragement of his father, Abag walked out of the grassland that day. When he grew up, Abag left his hometown and became an excellent captain.
Inspirational meaning: Cherish life and you can get out of the swamp of frustration. Fable 8

The same bed and the same chair
A scholar went to Beijing to take the exam. He passed by the wilderness and had no place to stay at dusk. He was afraid of being harmed by animals, so he climbed a tree to wait for dawn. OK. In the middle of the night, it is hard to bear the wind and cold, so be alert. Suddenly I heard a "chicha" sound and looked at it eagerly, but I saw numerous graves, the surrounding fields were silent, and no one was coming. If you are born with fear, don't dare to ignore the sound. Suddenly, I saw a ghost lying on the bed and panting. He suddenly released the bed under the tree and lay on it, as if waiting for someone.
Sheng looked at the bed. It was about ten feet long and not wide enough. It was as tall and slim as a ghost.
I was very confused. In the midst of panic, I suddenly heard the sound of "cutting" again, and another ghost came carrying the chair. The two ghosts were lying down and sitting under a tree, and they were talking to humans.
The former ghost laughed and said: "I look at the people in the Yang Realm today. Some are too long if they are long, too short if they are short. They are too fat and too fat, and they are too thin if they are too thin. They are too thin to be seen! This bed of mine is wonderful. It cannot be said that a short person can be made long by lying on it, and a long person can be made short by lying on it. If you are fat, you can become thin, and if you are thin, you can become fat. This is a "bed with the same body". With this bed, Humans and ghosts in the Yang world and the Yin world are in the same body, and it is difficult to distinguish them. No one can see through the tricks of our ghosts!"
The queen sneered and said, "Comparing your bed with my chair, a small witch can see a big witch. I look at today. In this world, there are so many minds. You think about you, think about other people, and still have different dreams in the same bed. I am so sad. This chair of mine can cure the thoughts of all people, and you will see immediate results and no pain. For a moment, everything changes. What they think, say, and do are similar, exactly the same.
This is the 'Tongxin Chair'. With this chair, people and ghosts in the world are of the same mind, and it is difficult to distinguish between you and me. We collude with it, and we understand each other tacitly, and there is no one who can resist!"
"How wonderful! How wonderful!" The two ghosts laughed and agreed to set up an inn in this remote and wilderness place to accommodate travelers and attract people from all over the world.
The two ghosts were frightened when they heard the crow, and they quickly fled away from the tree. Nothing but two barren tombs came into view. I thought about them for a long time, but I just spit them out. Unexpectedly, I realized that the two tombs were destroyed on the spot. I sighed and said, "Looking at these two things, they are indeed tombs." . If you don't spurn it, people and ghosts will come and go, and everyone will look like a ghost, and the clear world will become a world of ghosts and ghosts?" Fable Story 12

"Lion! I'm not afraid of you at all. I don't care no matter how you roar! It seems that I'm better than you! If you think I lie again, just let me Look at what I am!"
The gadfly flew like lightning and stung the lion on the tip of his nose. "Ah!
It hurts so much!" The lion He waved his claws and slapped the tip of his nose. But the gadfly escaped, and the lion's nose was bleeding.
