"Warring States Policy Chu Ce IV": "The teeth of a husband and a horse are too strong. They go to Taihang by salt car. Their hooves are folded, their tails are swollen, their juices are spilled on the ground, and they exchange white sweat. Nakasaka postponed, and the negative electrode could not be installed. Bole was bitter, got off the bus and cried, so he had the right to take off his clothes. The horse just squirted on its stomach, making a loud noise and reaching the sky. If it comes from gold, what is it? He regards Bole as a confidant. " Metaphorically speaking, talents are in trouble.

5. Follow the map.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Sun Yang in the State of Qin who was very good at watching horses. No matter what kind of horse it is, he can tell good from bad at a glance. He is often asked to know horses and choose horses. People call him Bole. Sun Yang had a son who read the "Xiangma Jing" written by his father. He thought it was easy to kiss up to horses, so he took this book and looked for good horses everywhere. He followed the pattern drawn in the book and found nothing. I searched according to the characteristics written in the book, and finally found a toad with characteristics very similar to those written in the book. I happily took toad home and said to my father, "Dad, I found a swift horse, but the hoof was almost the same." Father couldn't help laughing when he saw it. He didn't expect his son to be so stupid, so he said humorously, "It's a pity that Matthew likes to jump and can't be used to pull a cart." Then he sighed: "Follow the map." The story comes from Yang Shen's "Yilin Felling Mountain" in the Ming Dynasty. The idiom "from the book" means to do things mechanically in the old way and not know how to be flexible; It is also a metaphor to look for things according to certain clues.

Qin Qiong sold the horse.

At the end of Sui Dynasty, Qin Qiong, a Shandong hero who worked in Jinan, was ordered to work in Luzhou. Unfortunately, he fell ill in the shop and all the expenses were used up. In desperation, he took his beloved mount, Huang Feima, to sell it in Erxian Village outside the west gate.

As early as in Shandong, Qin had heard that he was a hero, but now he is down and out, too shy to give his real name. It happened that Dan heard that the horse seller was from Jinan, so he invited him to your house for tea, and also inquired about Qin, a hero in Shandong who had long admired him. Qin lied: "The person asked outside is my brother's best friend." When Xiong Xin learned that he and Uncle Bao were friends, he immediately wrote a letter to Uncle Bao, paid the horse price of 320 taels of silver, plus 320 taels of Cheng Yi, which was not included in the horse price, and also took two pieces of silk as a gift.

Said Qin deceive Dan, but met another hero Wang Bodang in Luzhou restaurant. Petain informed Dan Xiong Xin, which led Xiong Xin to look for Qin Baoshu everywhere. Later, the two heroes finally got to know each other. Dan Xiong Xin treated them warmly and let Uncle Bao live in Erxian Village for eight months. When he left, Dan Xiong Xin gave his Huang Ma a gold stirrup and a silver saddle, and gave Ruth and a large sum of money. Since then, they have become close friends. Subsequently, the two men United with the dynasty in overthrowing the peasant uprising and made indelible contributions to the uprising. After the rise of the Tang Dynasty, Qin Qiong defended the Tang Dynasty all his life, while Dan Xiong Xin resisted to the end. Although Shan and Qin parted ways later, the brotherhood forged in the adversity remained the same. & lt< Let's talk about the Tang Dynasty >> In "Qin Qiong built a shrine to Xiong Xin", Qin Qiong heard that Xiong Xin was captured and Pegasus came to rescue him. Go to the front and your head has landed. Uncle Bao knelt on the ground holding Xiong Xin's head, heartbroken. Later, Xiong Xin and his wife were buried together outside the south gate of Luoyang, and an ancestral temple named "Hoonji" was built to repay the kindness of Luzhou.

Calling a deer a horse-deliberate misinterpretation

According to Historical Records of Qin Shihuang, at the end of Qin Dynasty, Qin Ershi ruled corruption, and Prime Minister Zhao Gao plotted to seize the opportunity to usurp the throne. But Zhao Gao was afraid that ministers wouldn't listen and didn't dare to do it. He came up with a way to test the attitude of ministers.

One day, when the civil servant general went to court, he gave Qin Ershi a deer and said, "I will give you a horse, please accept it." Qin Ershi smiled and said, "You are mistaken. This is not a horse. This is a deer. " Then Qin Ershi asked the ministers whether Zhao Gaoxian offered a deer or a horse. At that time, many ministers were afraid of Zhao Gao, even though they knew it was a deer. Some people, in order to please Zhao Gao, said it was a horse sacrifice. Only a few people who are loyal to Qin Ershi, regardless of interests, insist that it is a deer.

After this incident, Zhao Gao knew that people who say a deer is a horse are all people who obey themselves; People who say a deer is a deer will not obey his orders. So he secretly sent someone to kill the person who told the truth.

Metaphor "refers to a deer as a horse", which reverses black and white and confuses right and wrong.

Classic story of Korean blood horse

Han blood horse used to have a red substance flowing out of its neck, which seemed to be bleeding, so it was called. China was called in ancient times.

"Dawanma" and "Bipolar Tianma" are now called "Ahama".

Tian Ji horse racing

Tian Ji, the general of Qi State, likes horse racing very much. On one occasion, he and Qi Weiwang agreed to compete. They agreed to classify their horses into upper, middle and lower classes. During the race, you should mount the horse against the horse, middle horse against the middle horse, and dismount against the horse. Because horses of all grades in Qi Weiwang are much better than those in Tian Ji, Tian Ji failed in several races.

Tian Ji was very disappointed. Before the end of the race, he left the racecourse in frustration. At this moment, Tian Ji looked up, and there was a man in the crowd who turned out to be his good friend Sun Bin. Sun Bin called Tian Ji, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just watched the horse race. Wang Wei's horse is not much faster than yours. "

Before Sun Bin finished, Tian Ji glared at him: "I didn't expect you to dig at me!" Sun Bin said, "I'm not being sarcastic. I mean, if you compete with him again, I can definitely let you beat him. " Tian Ji looked at Sun Bin doubtfully. "You mean another horse?" Sun Bin shook his head and said, "You don't even have to change a horse." Tian Ji said confidently, "That's different!" Sun Bin said confidently, "Just do it according to my arrangement."

Qi Weiwang won many battles, and when he was proudly boasting about his horse, he saw Tian Ji and Sun Bin coming head-on, stood up and said sarcastically, "Why, are you still unconvinced?" Tian Ji said: "Of course not, let's play again!" Say, "Hua", poured a lot of money on the table, as his bet. Qi Weiwang chuckled when he saw it, so he told his men to bring all the money he had won several times before, and added 1,200 gold, which was also put on the table. Qi Weiwang said contemptuously, "Let's start!"

Gong sounded and the game began. Sun Bin was a bad horse, lost to Qi Weiwang's good horse, and lost the first game. Qi Weiwang stood up and said, "I didn't expect the famous Mr. Sun Bin to come up with such a clumsy countermeasure." Sun Bin ignored him. Then the second scene. Sun Bin took the first-class horse to compete with the middle-class horse in Qi Weiwang and won a race. Qi Weiwang was a little flustered. In the third game, Sun Bin took China and Malaysia against Qi Weiwang's inferior horse and won another game. This time, Qi Weiwang was dumbfounded.

The result of the game was two out of three. Of course, Tian Ji beat Qi Weiwang. The same horse, because it changes the order of appearance in the race, will get the result of turning defeat into victory.

An old hand is a good guide

Source "Everything is wrong. Say it in the forest

Guan Zhonghe (xi)' s friend cut the solitary bamboo from Huan Gong and returned to winter from spring, lost his way. Guan Zhong said, "You can use the wisdom of an old horse." Is to let the old horse go and get the way.

Explain the "road" The old horse knows the way. It means that experienced people are familiar with the situation and can play a guiding role in a certain aspect.

In 663 BC, at the request of Yan State, Qi Huangong sent troops to attack Shanrong, which invaded Yan State. The Prime Minister Guan Zhong and the doctor Peng Ji accompanied him. The Qi army went to war in spring, and it was already winter when they returned home in triumph, and everything changed. The army wandered around in a valley with high mountains and mountains, and finally lost its way and could never find its way back; Although many scouts were sent to explore the road, they still couldn't figure out where to get out of the valley. With the passage of time, the supply of troops became difficult. The situation is very critical. If we can't find a way out, the army will be trapped here. Guan Zhong thought for a long time and came up with an idea: since dogs can find their way home far from home, horses in the army, especially old horses, will also have the ability to find their way. So he said to Qi Huangong, "Your Majesty, I think the old horse has the ability to find his way. You can use it to lead the way ahead and lead the army out of the valley. " Qi Huangong agreed to give it a try. Guan Zhong immediately picked several old horses, untied the reins and let them walk freely in front of the army. Strangely, these old horses are heading in the same direction without hesitation. The army ran around with them, and finally got out of the valley and found the way back to Qi.

The old pioneer lost his horse-a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.

During the Warring States Period, there was an old man named Sai Weng. He kept many horses, and one day, one of them suddenly got lost. When the neighbors heard this, they came to comfort him. Don't worry too much. When he is old, pay more attention to his health. When Sai Weng saw someone comforting him, he smiled and said, "Losing a horse is not a big loss, and maybe it will bring good luck."

The neighbors were amused by Sai Weng's words. Losing the horse is obviously a bad thing, but he thinks it may be a good thing, obviously just comforting himself. But a few days later, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a good horse.

Neighbors heard that Ma had come back by himself and admired Sai Weng's foresight. They congratulated Sai Weng and said, "You are still far-sighted. Not only did you not lose your horse, but you also brought back a good horse. What a blessing. "

Sai Weng listened to his neighbor's congratulations, but he was not happy at all. He said anxiously, "A good horse for nothing is not necessarily a blessing, but it may cause some trouble."

Neighbors think his posturing is purely the cunning of the elderly. I was very happy, but I didn't mean to say it.

Sai Weng has an only son who likes riding horses very much. He found that the horse he brought back was a good horse, with long hooves, loud neighing, fat and fierce. He rides a horse every day. He is proud of himself.

One day, he was so happy that he ran into a horse, galloped, fell, fell off his horse and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences.

Sai Weng said, "Nothing. It may be a blessing to be able to save your life if you break your leg. " Neighbors think he's talking nonsense again. They can't figure out what good luck a broken leg will bring.

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.
