The original meaning of the idiom "backsliding" is that as you do to others, others will do to you. It is now used to describe a person who is inconsistent and capricious in his words and deeds. "Er" refers to you, and "anti" returns.

This idiom comes from "Mencius Liang Hui Wang Xia": Zeng Zi said: "The precept of the precept!" Those who are out of the way are also those who are against you. ”

【Story】:

During the Warring States period, there was a war between the Zou and Lu states one year. Zou suffered a defeat and suffered many casualties. Zou Mugong was very unhappy and asked Mencius: "In this war, thirty-three of my officials were killed, but none of the common people fought for them. If you kill these people, there are too many of them to kill them all; If you don't kill it, it's very hateful. What do you say you should do? ”

Mencius replied, "I remember one year when there was a famine, and the old and infirm people starved to death in the ravines and wilderness, and thousands of the prime people went out to flee the famine, but the king's granary was still full, and the treasury was sufficient, and the officials in charge of money and grain did not report this serious disaster to you." They are high up and do not care about the suffering of the people, and they destroy the people. ”

Mencius, after reviewing this poignant past, then said, "Do you remember what Confucius's disciple Zeng Tzu said? He said, Be vigilant! As you do to others, others will do to you. Now that the people have a chance to take revenge, they will use the same methods to deal with those superiors. Mencius finally told Zou Mugong, "Therefore, the king should not blame them or punish them. If you govern benevolently, your people will love their rulers and will be willing to give their lives for them. ”

[Popularity: 75666]

Interpretation:

The metaphor is that the other party is aware and guarded against because of careless actions.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Wang Lu, who often accepted bribes and did not obey the laws and regulations when he was an official in the Yamen. One day, someone handed a piece of paper to the yamen, accusing Wang Lu's subordinates of breaking the law and accepting bribes. Wang Lu saw that the various crimes written on the pleadings were exactly the same as his own daily illegal acts. Wang Lu trembled while looking at the paper: "This... Isn't that talking about me? ”

The more Wang Lu looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he forgot how to approve the paper, and actually wrote eight big characters on the paper: "Although you beat the grass, I am already frightened." "It means that you did this to hit the grass on the ground, but I was like a snake hiding in the grass, but I was greatly startled!

Later, according to the eight words written by Wang Lu, "Although you hit the grass, I have been frightened by the snake", it was extended to the idiom "Beat the grass and scare the snake".

Interpretation: The metaphor is an inappropriate use of human resources.

Story: Xin Qiji, a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, whose father died in his childhood, was raised by his grandfather.

Xin Qiji once worshipped the famous pastoral poet Liu Zhan as his teacher, and Dang Huaiying was Liu Zhan's most proud student. Once, Liu Zhan asked the two of them: "Confucius once asked his students to talk about their aspirations, and I also asked you what you plan to do in the future." Dang Huaiying replied: "Studying is to be an official, in order to gain fame, and to glorify the ancestors." I must go to the court to be a great official; If you can't be an official, you will go home and live in seclusion, learn from the teacher and write idyllic poems. ”

Liu Zhan was very happy to hear this, and praised him again and again, thinking that his ambition was very clean. Xin Qiji replied: "I don't want to be an official, I want to write all the thieves in the world with words, and kill all the thieves in the world with a sword!" Liu Zhan was taken aback when he heard this, and asked Xin Qiji not to say such ridiculous things in the future. Since then, Xin and Dang have completely different life paths: Xin Qiji heroically threw himself into the national battlefield of resisting Jin, and is known as a patriotic poet; Dang Huaiying, on the other hand, was mixed in with the ruling group of the Jin people, and did some work as an accomplice or even an accomplice for the Jin people.

After the Jin people invaded the south, Xin Qiji organized a team of more than 2,000 people to revolt in his hometown. Later, he led his team to defect to the rebel army organized by Geng Jing, a peasant in Jinan Prefecture. Soon, the rebel army was appointed by the imperial court to cooperate with the imperial army's army to fight against the invading Jin army. However, due to the exclusion and attack of the surrender faction, Xin Qiji later lived in the Shangrao area of Jiangxi for a long time. In the spring of 1203, he was appointed as the prefect of Shaoxing Prefecture and the pacification envoy of Zhejiang East Road. This year, Xin Qiji was sixty-four years old.

There is a place called Sanshan in the western suburbs of Shaoxing, where the famous patriotic poet Lu You lived there. Lu You was fifteen years older than Xin Qiji, almost eighty years old at the time, and his patriotic poems had long been admired by Xin Qiji, so soon after Xin Qiji took office, he went to visit this senior, and the two discussed national affairs together, and they hated to see each other late. Lu You listened to Xin Qiji's analysis of the situation and the idea of reunification and the whole country, and felt that he was a very talented person, and hoped that he would succeed in his career.

In the spring of the following year, Song Ningzong issued a holy decree asking Xin to go to the capital Lin'an to seek his opinion on the Northern Expedition to Jinguo. Xin Qiji told Lu You about this, and Lu You felt that this was a good opportunity for Xin Qiji to display his talents, and he was happy for him. In order to encourage Xin Qiji to give full play to his talents, Lu You specially wrote a long poem for him. The poem wrote, "Xin Qiji was a first-class figure of the ancient great statesman, military strategist Guan Zhong, and Xiao He, and now he is the pacification envoy of Zhejiang East Road, which is really using big materials in small places; Encourage him to work hard for the restoration of the Central Plains, and never mind because he is excluded. At the age of sixty-six, this patriotic hero, who had always been overused, finally died in grief.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Wei Guo called for the killing of his brother Wei Huan Gong and established himself as the monarch.

The state called for the people to go to war, stirring up discontent among the people. He was worried that his throne was unstable, so he consulted with his confidant Shi Hou about a solution.

Shi Hou went to ask his father, Shi Jie, the minister of the defense of the country, how to consolidate the ruling position of the state. Shi Jie said to his son: "The princes should get the permission of Zhou Tianzi when they ascend the throne, and his position can be consolidated." Shi Hou said: "Zhou Hu killed his brother to seek a position, if Zhou Tianzi doesn't allow it, what should I do?" Shi Jie said: "Chen Huan Gong is very trusted by Zhou Tianzi, and Chen Wei is a friendly neighbor. Shi Hou didn't wait for his father to finish speaking, and hurriedly said, "You mean to ask Chen Huan Gong for help?" Shi Jie nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Hu and Shi Hou prepared many gifts, but they were detained by Chen Huangong. It turned out that this was Shi Jie's arrangement. Wei Guo sent people to Chen Guo and put Zhou Hu to death. The ministers of the defense of the country should be lenient because Shi Hou is the son of Shi Jie. Shi Jie sent his retainers to Chen and killed Shi Hou. Historians believe that Shi Jie's killing of his son is "righteous annihilation".
