Source: Song Su Shi "Hou Chibi Fu") The river flows soundly, the bank is broken for thousands of feet, the mountains are high and the moon is high, and the dagger water falls out.

Interpreting the water of the river, the underwater stones are naturally exposed.

After investigation and verification, the truth will eventually be revealed.

The story of Su Shi, Zizhan, Dongpo, a native of Meishan, Sichuan, was a great writer, calligrapher and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was bold by nature, knowledgeable, and extremely literate. When he was demoted to Huangzhou, he traveled to Chibi outside Huangzhou twice, and wrote two hand-me-down works, "Former Chibi Fu" and "Later Chibi Fu".

At that time, the moonlight on October nights was unusually bright and bright. Su Shi and his two friends bathed in the warm autumn breeze and walked together outside the city with great interest. The beautiful night scene of the moon and the wind makes them poetic, and friends get together, talk about friendship, but also make them forget all their troubles, they sing and chant poetry, speak freely, and the joy is indescribable. Su Shi suddenly thought of wine. He hurried home and asked his wife if there was any alcohol in the house. His wife laughed, took out a jar of wine that had been hidden for a long time, and said that it was for his temporary needs.

Su Shi was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, took the wine, rushed back to his friends, came to the bank of the Yangtze River under the red cliff, boarded the boat, and went rafting to play.

At this time, only the murmuring sound of the eastward flowing river was heard, which was particularly crisp in the silent night, and the bank was a thousand feet of steep walls, as steep as a cut. The tall peaks stood tall, and the moon hanging between the peaks seemed smaller; The river fell, and the stones that sank under the river were exposed.

Embattled stories

[Popularity: 38317]

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to use the east and west sides of the chasm (in present-day Rong County, Henan) as the boundary and not to invade each other. Later, Liu Bang listened to the advice of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and felt that Xiang Yu should be eliminated while he was weak, so he joined forces with Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Liu Jia to pursue and was heading east to Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu)

of Xiang Yu's troops. Finally, several layers of troops were arranged to tightly surround Xiang Yu (in the southeast of present-day Lingbi County, Anhui). At this time, there were very few soldiers under Xiang Yu, and there was no food. At night, when he heard the troops surrounding him singing the folk songs of Chudi, he couldn't help but be very surprised and said, "Has Liu Bang already obtained the forbidden land?"

Why are there so many Chu people in his army? "And behold, his heart had lost his fighting spirit, and he got up from his bed, and drank wine in the tent. and sang with his favorite concubine, Yu Ji. After singing, tears flowed straight down, and the people next to me were also very sad, and they couldn't hold their heads up. After a while, Xiang Yu mounted his horse, took the remaining 800 cavalry, and escaped from the southern breakthrough. Fighting while fleeing, he killed himself on the bank of the Wujiang River.

Because in this story, Xiang Yu heard Chu Ge singing around him, felt surprised, and failed to commit suicide after watching it, so people in the future will use the phrase "embattled" to describe the personnel environment in which people are attacked or persecuted from all sides, and fall into a situation of isolation and embarrassment.

The fate of those who fall into such a situation is often very tragic, for example, because someone is often in the company of bad people, does not produce, and is idle; But later, he broke the persecution of those bad people and couldn't make a living, and when he asked for help from others, others should also think that his usual behavior was too bad, and he would never sympathize with or ignore him, and this person was in a situation where he was "embattled". Another example is when academic issues are discussed in school, and the students do not learn and do not know how to do it (idiom, meaning there is no academic)

If the students attack him in groups, the student is completely isolated, which can also be called "embattled". In the course of our life, in our daily life, be a good person, do things in a down-to-earth manner, if we make a mistake, we will inevitably suffer the doom of "embattled".

During the Warring States period, there was an old man named Saion. He kept many horses, and one day one of the horses went missing. When the neighbors heard this, they all came to comfort him that he didn't have to be too anxious, and that he was getting older, so he should pay more attention to his body. Seeing that someone was advising, Seon smiled and said, "Losing a horse is not a big loss, maybe it will bring blessings." ”

The neighbor listened to Seon's words and thought it was funny. The loss of the horse was obviously a bad thing, but he thought that maybe it was a good thing, obviously just self-comforting. But after a few days, the lost horse not only went home automatically, but also brought back a steed.

When the neighbors heard that the horse had returned on its own, they admired Seon's foresight and congratulated him and said, "You still have the foresight, and it is a blessing that not only did you not lose the horse, but also brought back a good horse." ”

When Seon heard the congratulations of his neighbors, he did not look happy at all, and said worriedly: "It is not necessarily a blessing to have a good horse for nothing, but it may cause some trouble." ”

The neighbors thought that his pretentious gesture was pure old age's cunning. I was obviously happy in my heart, but I deliberately didn't say it. Seon had an only child and was very fond of horseback riding. He found that the horse he had brought back was looking forward to life, with long hooves and big hooves, neighing loudly, and a fierce horse, and he knew at a glance that it was a good horse. He rode every day with pride.

One day, he was a little overjoyed, and he galloped on his horse, and with a stumble, he fell off the horse's back and broke his leg. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences.

"It's nothing," said Seon, "but maybe it's a blessing to break your leg and save your life." "The neighbors thought he was talking gibberish again. They couldn't think of any blessing that would come from breaking their legs.

Soon after, the Huns invaded, and the young men were drafted into the army, and Seon's son could not serve as a soldier because he broke his leg. All the young men who enlisted were killed in battle, but only Seon's son survived.

Liu Bei had to leave a letter to express his admiration for Zhuge Liang and ask him to come out to help him save the country's dangerous situation.

After some time, Liu Bei ate vegetarian food for three days and was ready to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may have a false name, and he may not have the real talent to learn, so he doesn't need to go. Zhang Fei advocated that he should call alone, and if he didn't come, he would tie the ground with a rope. Liu Bei rebuked Zhang Fei, and visited Zhuge Liang with them for the third time. At that time, Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei didn't dare to alarm him, and stood until Zhuge Liang woke up, and then sat down and talked with each other.

Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was interested in doing things for the country, and sincerely asked him for help, so he came out to help Liu Bei establish the Shu Han Dynasty.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" called Liu Bei's three personal urges to Zhuge Liang as "Three Visits to the Thatched House". Zhuge Liang also has "The first emperor was not despicable to his ministers, he was humiliated, and he was in the grass house." ". Thus the people of later generations, when they saw that someone who had asked someone whom he admired to come out to help him in his work, and several times in person went to the house of that person, he quoted this phrase to describe the desire and sincerity of the petitioner. That is, it means not to be ashamed to ask questions and to seek talents with an open mind.

The story of the corpse vegetarian meal

[Popularity: 9390]

The history of corpse sound is a person who sits upright and looks at the statue of a god in ancient rituals without having to make any movements. There is a sentence in the "Book of Books": "Taikang corpse position" "The corpse position is derived from this, which is used as a metaphor for a person who has a position but no work to do, just like the corpse in the ritual, only sitting on the throne and not having to do any action." "Vegetarian meal" is also from the Book of Poetry: "He is a gentleman, not a vegetarian meal." Later generations then used "vegetarian meals" as a metaphor for people who did not eat well. The combination of "corpse" and "vegetarian meal" into an idiom should be said to come from the "Hanshu", because the book's "Zhu Yunchuan" wraps: "Today's ministers of the imperial court, the upper cannot be the master, and the lower death is to benefit the people, and they are all corpses vegetarian meals." The meaning of the whole idiom is also the same as the above-mentioned corpse position and vegetarian meal. In this way, we should study the source of the idiom, and we should also know in detail the source of the idiom.

Redundant personnel in ordinary organs, associations, and shops, who only know that they receive their salaries on time every month, and eat, drink, and sit idly every day without doing any work, can be said to be "corpse vegetarians." In addition, people with poor work ability, although they have done their best to serve, but things are always not done well, and there is no achievement at all, this kind of person can maintain his position, not by his own skills, but by special relationships, so it can also be said that "corpse vegetarian meal". Another example is when someone tells a friend that he has no skills, but he is fortunate to be taken care of by the proprietor and has been able to solve his life, but he is also a little guilty in his conscience. In this way, it has become a very decent and humble word again.
