Story of Historical Figures 1 In the early years of Qing Dynasty, a strange tea shed appeared in a small place in Shandong. Passers-by can have a cup of tea in the tea shed for free. When guests drink tea, they just need to tell some anecdotes.

The owner of the tea shed is Pu Songling. He was born in a merchant family in Shandong, and his father abandoned Confucianism to do business. Over the years, his family has reached a well-off level. With the support of his father, the young Pu Songling can study with peace of mind and prepare for the imperial examination.

But the good times didn't last long, and great changes took place at home.

The wives married by Pu Songling's two older brothers are very aggressive, and they often make trouble at home for a little thing. Pu Songling's father couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to divide his three sons.

Pu Songling's wife is very virtuous, unlike the two eldest sisters who can fight, argue and rob. When we were apart, we also hid silently, waiting for Pu Songling's father's arrangement. In the end, Pu Songling only got three dilapidated houses on the farm, as well as 20 acres of thin land and only enough food for three months. From then on, Pu Songling can no longer just read books and ignore everything as in the past. He must make a living by himself. Forced by life, he became a private school teacher, but the treatment of private school teachers at that time was very low. You can only get eight taels of silver at most every year. I have worked hard to teach for a year, and the money I earn is not enough for a rich family's banquet.

After his father died, Pu Songling had to support his mother, and his family was even more embarrassed.

In order to solve the problem of food and clothing for the whole family, he devoted his efforts, but at that time, the only way for literati to get ahead was the imperial examination, and Pu Songling also pinned his hopes on it. Apart from teaching, he spent most of his time in the imperial examinations, but failed again and again and never got what he wanted. It was not until he was 72 years old that he became a scholar. Pu Songling's life can be said to be struggling on the poverty line. He once said with emotion, "poor god, poor god, why are you so close to me and follow me all day?" Even if I am one of your servants, you have to give me a few days off, but you won't leave me a step, just like two lovers in love! "

In addition, Pu Songling has a deep resistance to the dark society and the unreasonable imperial examination system, and has a desire to talk, so he plans to write a book. In order to collect the material of the story, Pu Songling spent a lot of thought and finally came up with a good idea. He set up a grass pavilion and a tea shed near his road. So there was a scene in which the story changed tea.

In this way, by chatting with guests, Pu Songling collected many interesting stories. During the day, he is busy in the tea shed, and at night, he returns to his study. By memory, he recorded these stories and wrote them into his book. Because the story comes from chatting, Pu Songling named his study Liaozhai.

Pu Songling entrusted his whole life's feelings to the article. Because he wrote legendary stories, he named his collection of novels Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio.

Pu Songling spent a lot of energy writing this book, which is rich in content and tortuous in plot, expressing his love, hate and good ideals. It can be said that it is the highest collection of China's classical short stories. But the author of this book, Pu Songling, struggled in poverty, fell in the imperial examination, was not recognized by people at that time, and finally died alone in a serial.

Story of historical figures 3 On the Guluo River, the cold moonlight shines on the river; On the river, ripples reverberate layer by layer; The cold air is full of echoes of sadness and anger. . . . . .

On the fifth day of May, he died in Guluo River. He is my favorite historical figure-Qu Yuan!

He lived in Chu at the end of the Warring States Period. In his poem Li Sao, he sighed to hide his tears and lamented the hardships of people's lives. This poem can profoundly express love for the people.

He is a patriotic poet, but he must be full of sadness and helplessness about the imminent demise of the country, right?

"Things are so confusing that everyone is drunk and I wake up alone." You would rather jump into the river and die in the belly of a fish than join a traitor, but the traitor alienated the monarch.

You came to the river, looking haggard, and your manners have long lost their elegance and slowness after exile.

The water is gone forever, and the last sound is sad; Cold days drown in your sad face. . . . . .

My favorite historical figure-Qu Yuan. His deeds infected the Chinese nation. In order to commemorate him, we set the Dragon Boat Festival on this day. Although he is a pessimistic politician, his patriotism is worth learning!

Story of Historical Figures 4 AD 2 19, Cao Cao launched a fierce battle with Liu Bei in order to seize Jingzhou, a strategic place. Guan Yu, the general of Liu Bei, surrounded Xiangyang heavily, and Cao Cao's cousin Cao Ren stuck to Fancheng, which is adjacent to Xiangyang, and the situation was quite difficult.

In July this year, Cao Cao sent a general Hu Wei to lead an army to reinforce Coss. Soon, it rained heavily in Fancheng area and the Hanshui River flooded. Guan Yu took the opportunity to divert water to drown Cao Jun. As a result, the whole army was wiped out and forced to surrender.

Coss was in critical condition because the flood rushed into Fancheng. Some departments will persuade him to give up Fancheng and retreat by boat. However, some people strongly oppose it, saying that the water potential can't be so great all the time, and it will recede in a few days, so it is better to stick to it. Coss felt right and decided to stick to Fancheng.

Soon, Cao Cao sent general Huang Xu to Fancheng for clearance. Huang Xu wily, temporarily don't drive the troops directly to Fancheng, and stationed in a little farther away, and then send someone to shoot the credit arrow into Fancheng, and get in touch with Coss in the back.

While Cao Cao was still organizing other military forces to reinforce, he learned that Huang Xu's actions were very much in favor, so he waited for all the military forces to arrive and drove to Fancheng.

At that time, part of Liu Bei's army was stationed in Yancheng, not too far from Fancheng. Huang Xu led some troops to the suburbs of Yan city and deliberately dug a big hole, as if to cut off the retreat of Yan city's troops. The garrison was called up and evacuated from Yancheng in a hurry. Therefore, Huang Xu easily occupied the city.

At this point, Cao Cao's 12 military forces have arrived. So Huang Xu united these armies and planned to attack Guan Yu with Coss inside and outside.

Guan Yu has garrisons around the head and at the four pillars. On the surface, Huang Xu pretended to attack Wai Tou, but in fact, he was attacking four graves. When Guan Yu discovered Huang Xu's main attack direction, it was too late. The 5000 soldiers and horses who hurried to Sizuka were quickly defeated by Huang Xu.

Then Huang Xu led his men into Guan Yu's encirclement of Coss. Guan Yu was defeated, and Xiangyang and Fancheng finally cleared the way.

When Cao Cao heard of it, he wrote a letter of condolences and sent someone forward. The order reads: "I have been fighting for more than 30 years. No warrior in ancient times can ride as fast as you, go straight ahead and rush into the encirclement of the enemy."

Just like the war in the story, if you have to confront it head-on, you will be defeated. So many times, you must use your wisdom to win the final victory. Taking learning as an example, blind reading is ineffective. You must have a set of learning methods that suit you, and you need to explore them, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort!

Historical Story 6 Gu Yong, Zi Ziyun, was born in Chang 'an (now Xi City, Shaanxi Province). During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he served as Dr. Guanglu, a senior farmer.

Emperor Han Chengdi became emperor at the age of twenty, but he had no children in his forties. He listened to the alchemist and was keen on offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods. Many people who wrote to Emperor Han Chengdi about offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods or talking about immortals easily got high officials and generous salaries.

Emperor Cheng listened to their words and offered sacrifices in Shanglinyuan on the outskirts of Chang 'an, praying for God's blessing. It cost a lot of money, but it was useless.

Gu Yong wrote to Emperor Han Chengdi: "I heard that people who understand the nature of heaven and earth can't be confused with monsters; People who know the truth of everything in the world will not be deceived by people with bad behavior. Now some people talk about immortals and ghosts, preach sacrificial rites, and say that there are immortals in the world who can take immortal medicine and live as long as Nanshan. Listening to them, my ears are full of beautiful scenes, as if I could see the gods soon; However, you are looking for it, but it is illusory, as if to catch a shadow. Therefore, wise kings in ancient times did not listen to these words, and saints never said such words. "

For example, Gu Yong said: Changhong, a historian of the Zhou Dynasty, wanted to help Zhou Lingwang by offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, so that all the princes in the world came to pilgrimage, but the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty declined even more, and the princes rebelled more; Chu Huaiwang ceremoniously offered sacrifices to ghosts and gods, asking them to bless him and beat off Qin Jun. As a result, the battle was defeated, the land was divided by Qin, and he himself became a prisoner. After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he sent Xu Fu to lead boys and girls to the sea to seek immortality and collect herbs. As a result, he never came back and was hated by everyone in the world. Finally, he added: "Since ancient times, emperors have been looking for gods and immortals all over the world by virtue of their noble status and numerous possessions. Many years have passed and nothing has been realized. I hope you won't let those who behave badly interfere in the affairs of the court again. "

Emperor Han Cheng thought what Shui Gu said was very reasonable, so he adopted his suggestion.

"Catch the wind and catch the shadow" and "make something out of nothing" both indicate the lack of facts and both contain derogatory meanings. However, the key point of "catching the wind and catching shadows" is that there is no conclusive basis and no factual basis; While "making something out of nothing" focuses on expressing fabrication out of thin air. Be careful when using these two idioms!

Historical Story 7 Yi Song-Killed by Xiang Yu's mutiny.

The material bundle will fail.

Song Yi was originally the Lingyin of Chu State, and at the end of Qin Dynasty, there was a great uprising and the six countries were restored. Yi Song was transferred to Xiang Liang, the general of Chu.

In September 208 BC (the second year of Qin Ershi), Dong 'e and Xiang Liang defeated Zhang Han's army and led the troops westward. When they arrived in Dingtao, they defeated Qin Jun again. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought Qin Jun again in Qiu Yong, defeated Qin Jun and killed Li You, the leader of Sanchuan. Xiang Liang therefore looked down upon Qin Jun even more, showing a proud look. Yi Song warned: "After winning the battle, if the generals are proud and the soldiers are lazy, they will surely fail. Soldiers are a little lazy now, but the number of soldiers in Qin is increasing day by day. I am worried about you! " But Xiang Liang didn't listen to the advice and sent Yi Song to see Qi. On the way, I met Gao Xian, an envoy of the State of Qi, and asked him, "Are you going to see him?" Xian replied, "Yes." Song Yidao: "I'm sure Wu Xinjun will fail. If you walk slowly, you will not die, and if you walk fast, you will suffer. " At this point, Qin Ershi mobilized all the troops to reinforce Zhang Han's attack on the Chu army, defeated the Chu army in Dingtao, and Xiang Liang died.

Keiko champion

Zhang Han defeated Xiang Liang's army, so he thought Chu's military was not worth worrying about. He crossed the Yellow River, attacked Zhao and defeated Zhao. Then he took the army to Handan, and the whole city moved to Hanoi, leveling the battlements in Handan. Zhao Wang fled into Dalucheng with his troops, and Qin General Wang Li led the troops around Dalucheng. Chen Yu collected soldiers from Changshan to the north, and got tens of thousands of soldiers, who were stationed in the barb plain north of Julu and south of Zhang Han Garrison Julu. Zhao asked Chu for help several times.

At this time, the envoy of the State of Qi was high in the State of Chu. He went to see him and said, "The determined army is finished. A few days later, Xiang Jun really failed. The army foresaw the signs of defeat before the war, and it can be said that it is quite familiar with the art of war! " Chu Huaiwang called to discuss important matters and liked him very much, so he appointed him as the upper general, Xiang Yu as the deputy general and Fan Zeng as the last general, and led the troops to save Zhao. The generals were also under the command of Yi Song, calling him "the champion of Qing Zi".
