There is no other world

Describing the realm of a landscape or artistic creation is fascinating.

The idiom "there is no heaven and earth" means that there is another realm. It also describes the scenery as fascinating.

This idiom comes from the Complete Works of Li Taibai. Q&A in the Mountains", asked Yu what he meant to live in Bishan, laughing and not answering. The peach blossoms are gone, and there is no heaven and earth in the world.

Li Bai, whose name is too white, is one of the greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty in China. His ancestral home was Chengji, Longxi (near present-day Tianshui, Gansu), and he was born in Xiaye (present-day in the CIS) and grew up in Qinglian Township in Mianzhou (present-day Mianyang, Sichuan).

When Li Bai was young, he loved swordsmanship, light money and righteousness, and was good at writing poetry. At the age of 25, he wore a sword, said goodbye to his relatives, left his hometown, and traveled far away. In the past few years, he has roamed many places in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang. He was talented, ambitious, and eager to participate in political activities, but in the dark officialdom, his bright mind and unyielding character were unpopular, so there was no result for more than ten years.

At the age of forty-one, Li Bai was summoned by Tang Xuanzong, and his talent became a sensation in Beijing. But at that time, Tang Xuanzong was a "Taiping Emperor" who was bent on pursuing pleasure, and the state affairs were manipulated in the hands of the traitor Li Linfu and the eunuch Gao Lishi. Tang Xuanzong only hoped that Li Bai would be a royal literati who sang praises of virtue. However, Li Bai had an arrogant temperament and did not have the slightest flattery in front of the emperor and magnates, so he was slandered by Gao Lishi and others, and gradually became untrusted by Tang Xuanzong.

When Li Bai saw that Tang Xuanzong really did not reuse his intentions, he was worried that he would be harmed by the slander of the villain, so he automatically asked to leave the imperial court. During his three years of life in Chang'an, he recognized the darkness of reality and the ruler's **, and wrote many poems with profound ideological content.

After leaving Chang'an, Li Bai began another ten years of roaming life. Due to repeated setbacks in real life, he had the idea of seeking immortals and visiting the Tao, hoping to get rid of the ugly reality and pursue a better life. "Questions and Answers in the Mountains" is a poem written by him in pursuit of a beautiful realm, and the poetic meaning is like this: Someone asked me why I lived in Bishan, and I smiled and did not answer, and my heart was at ease and leisurely. Look at the peach blossoms floating freely with the flowing water into the distance, there is another realm here, different from the dark and filthy world.

Make guests feel at home

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zheng Guozi was ordered by Zheng Jiangong to visit the Jin Kingdom. Jin Pinggong put on a big country and did not greet him. Zichan ordered his entourage to tear down the wall of the Jin Kingdom's hotel and drive the carriages and horses inside. Shi Wenbo, the great doctor of the Jin Kingdom, reprived Zichan and said: In order to ensure the safety of the princes and guests, our country has built a hotel and built a high wall. Now that you've torn down the wall, who is responsible for the safety of the guests? Zichan replied: We Zheng Guoxiao, so we have to come on time to pay tribute. Your monarch did not have time to meet us this time. The gifts we bring are neither presumptuous nor exposed to the sun. I heard that in the past, when Duke Wen of Jin was the leader of the alliance, it was not like this to receive princes and guests. At that time, the hotel was spacious and beautiful, and the princes came, as if they were at home. Now, your palace is spacious, but the hotel is like a slave's hut, with a narrow door, and you can't even get into the car: you don't know when you will be received when the guests come. Isn't this intended to embarrass us?

Shi Wenbo went back to report to Jin Pinggong. Jin Pinggong knew that he was at a loss, so he apologized to Zichan for his mistake, and immediately ordered the construction to be carried out and the hotel was rebuilt.

Guests are described as being well received as if they were coming back to their own homes.

Icebergs are hard to rely on

The metaphor is not a long-lasting power, and it is difficult to rely on.

The meaning of the idiom "icebergs are hard to rely on" is a metaphor for relying on the power of others for a long time.

This idiom comes from the "Zizhi Tongjian", the monarch leans on Yang right like Mount Tai, I think it is an iceberg! If the sun rises, the monarchs will have nothing to lose!

Tang Xuanzong Li Longji especially favored Yang Yuhuan and named her a concubine. Now the Yang family ascended to heaven, and her cousin Yang Guozhong also became the prime minister, and also led more than 40 envoys, and the power was in his hands, and the officials selected by the court were privately decided in his home.

At that time, there was a jinshi in Shaanxi, named Zhang Yan, who had no chance to be an official. His friends persuaded him to visit Yang Guozhong, so that he could be promoted and made a fortune immediately. But he never went, but said to his friends who persuaded him: "You all regard Yang Guozhong as stable as Mount Tai, but I think he is just an iceberg." In the future, if there is turmoil in the world, he will collapse, just like an iceberg melts when it meets the sun, and then you will lose your backer. ”

Soon, An Lushan rebelled and captured the capital Chang'an, Yang Guozhong fled to Sichuan with Tang Xuanzong, and was killed by soldiers in Maweiyi. Yang Guifei was also hanged, and the backer of the Yang family really collapsed.

[Idiom]: Soldiers are not bloody

[Explanation]: Bing: weapon; Blade: The sharp part of a sword, etc. There was no blood on the weapon. Describe an easy victory without a fight.

The idiom "a soldier is not bloody" means that there is no blood on the weapon. It means victory without fighting.

This idiom comes from the Book of Jin. Tao Kan Biography", Mo in the Central Plains, several battles with Shi Le, thieves are afraid of their bravery, Tao Kan begged for it, and the soldiers were captured without blood, and they were afraid of Kan.

Guo Mo, the captain of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, fought bravely and fought against Shi Le, the founder of Later Zhao, and Shi Le and others were very afraid of him. But this person has always been arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take anyone seriously, and once killed Liu Yin, the general of Pingnan, because of his personal anger. Afterwards, he also boldly forged an edict to falsely accuse Liu Yin of rebellion, and reported it to various states and counties. After this incident was exposed, Prime Minister Wang Dao was afraid that the imperial court would not be able to punish him, so not only did he not ask him for the crime, but instead sealed him as an official.

After Tao Kan learned about this, on the one hand, he wrote to the imperial court to ask for a crusade against Guo Mo, and on the other hand, he wrote to Wang Dao, asking him to take decisive measures. There are two sentences in the letter that are very powerful: "Guo Mo killed the state official, and the imperial court appointed him as the state official." Could it be that if he kills the prime minister, he will not be able to become the prime minister! ”

Wang Dao read this letter and was greatly touched, so he sent Tao Kan to lead an army to crusade against Guo Mo. Guo Mo knew that Tao Kan led the troops to fight very strongly, and when he heard that he had come to crusade in person, he was very anxious and planned to lead the army to leave Jiangzhou and go south. But Tao Kan dispatched troops quickly, and before Guo Mo left the city, Tao Kan's army had already surrounded Jiangzhou.

Guo Mo wanted to stick to the city, but he knew that he was not Tao Kan's opponent, and he was afraid that he would not escape his life after the city was broken; He wanted to open the city gate and surrender, but he was afraid that the court would kill his head, which was really a dilemma. One of his rebel generals, seeing that the tide was turning, arrested him, opened the gates and surrendered. Tao Kan finally won the victory without a fight and put down the rebellion.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Pinggong once asked Qi Huangyang and said: "Nanyang County lacks a county magistrate, you see, who should be sent to be more appropriate?" Qi Huangyang replied without hesitation: "It is most appropriate to call Xie Hu to go." He'll be up to the task! Pinggong asked him again in surprise: "Isn't Xie Hu your enemy?" Why would you recommend him! Qi Huangyang said: "You only ask me who is competent and who is the most suitable; You didn't ask me if Xie Hu was my enemy! ”

So, Pinggong sent Xie Hu to Nanyang County to take office. After Xie Hu arrived. He did a lot of good deeds for the people there, and everyone praised him.

After some days, Pinggong asked Qi Huangyang again: "Now there is a lack of a judge in the imperial court. You see, who is up to the task? Qi Huangyang said: "Qi Wu can do it." Pinggong became strange again and asked, "Isn't Qi Wu your son?" How do you recommend your son, not afraid of gossip? Qi Huangyang said: "You only asked me who was competent, so I recommended him; You didn't ask me if Qi Wu was my son! "Pinggong sent Qi Wu to be a judge. Qi Wu became a judge and did many good things for people, and was very popular and loved by people.

When Confucius heard these two things, he praised Qi Huangyang very much. Confucius said, "Qi Huangyang said it too well! He recommends people based on his talent, not because he is his enemy and is prejudiced, so he does not recommend him; It is not because he is his own son that he is afraid of being discussed, so he does not recommend it. People like Huang Qiyang are enough to say that they are selfless! 166 Reading Network
