This Shouling young man does not worry about food or clothing, and he can be regarded as a middle-class talent in terms of appearance, but he just lacks self-confidence, and often feels inferior and inferior to others for no reason - clothes are people's good, meals are people's fragrance, and standing and sitting are also elegant. He learns what he sees, learns the same, and loses the same, although he renovates his tricks, he can never do one thing well, and he doesn't know what he should look like.

The people in the family persuaded him to change this problem, and he thought that the family was too much in charge. Relatives and neighbors said that he was a bear breaking stick, but he didn't listen to it at all. As time went by, he wondered if he should walk like this, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his walking posture was too stupid and ugly.

One day, he met a few people talking and laughing on the road, only to hear someone say that the walking posture of Handan people is called beautiful. When he heard this, he was sick with his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to find out. Unexpectedly, when the men saw him, they laughed and walked away.

How beautiful is the walking posture of Handan people? He couldn't have imagined it. This became his heart disease. Finally, one day, he hid from his family and went to distant Handan to learn to walk.

As soon as he arrived in Handan, he felt that everything was fresh and dazzling. Seeing the child walking, he felt lively, beautiful, and learned; Seeing the old man walking, he felt steady and learned; See women walking, swaying, learning. That's it, but in the middle of the moon, he couldn't even walk, and the travel fee was spent, so he had to crawl back.

The story is from "Zhuangzi Qiushui". The idiom "Handan toddler" is a metaphor for imitating others mechanically, not only can not learn the strengths of others, but will also lose their own advantages and skills.

Ji Di was a native of the era of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, and was respected for his uprightness, justice, and courage to tell the truth. He is not informal, and he is pragmatic in his conduct and as an official. Although it was not so vigorous on the surface, he was able to govern a county in an orderly manner, so the imperial court transferred him from the East China Sea Taishou to the imperial court as the lord and lieutenant - an official position in charge of the appointment and dismissal of local officials.

Once, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that he would implement the Confucian policy of benevolence and righteousness and do good things for the common people. Before the emperor could finish speaking, Ji Di said: "Your Majesty is so greedy and lustful in his heart, but on the surface he wants to pretend to practice benevolent government, why is this difficult? One sentence choked the emperor back. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed his face greatly and announced the resignation of the dynasty, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were sweating for Ji Di, fearing that he would cause great trouble. After Emperor Wu returned to the palace, he said to the people around him that Ji Di was too thick and straight.

Since then, Ji Di's official position has never been promoted. When he was the lord and lieutenant, Gongsun Hong and Zhang Tang were still inconspicuous petty officials, and later, they lived and rose one by one, Gongsun Hong became the prime minister, and Zhang Tang became the imperial doctor, but he Ji Di was still squatting in place and did not move. One day, Ji Huang said to Emperor Wu that His Majesty's use of ministers is the same as chopping firewood, and it is "the latecomer prevails"! Of course, Emperor Wu of Han could hear that this was a complaint. So, he turned his face to his subordinates and said, "People really can't help but learn!" Listening to what Ji Di said, it is getting more and more outrageous! ”

The story is from "Historical Records: The Biography of Ji Zheng Lie". The idiom "coming from behind" often refers to the fact that the latter can outperform the earlier one. It is very different from the original meaning of Ji Di's words.

The future is terrifying, and it is better to know that it is better to come!

The paraphrase praises the teenager for his intelligence and hard work and bright future.

Story: The minister of the Yuan Dynasty, Cheri Timur, handled official affairs shrewdly and competently, and was good at making decisions. One year he was serving in Zhejiang, which happened to coincide with the imperial examination held in the provincial capital. He witnessed this exam, and a lot of money was spent from the government to the candidates, and there was inevitably a case of fraud. He secretly made up his mind that when he was in power, he must urge the imperial court to abolish this system. Later, when he was promoted to the post of Zhongshu Pingzhang, which was equivalent to the deputy prime minister, he sent a report to Emperor Yuan Shun requesting the abolition of the imperial examination system. China's imperial examination system has been practiced for more than 700 years since the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it is a very important matter to abolish it, which has caused great repercussions in the DPRK and China. Master Boyan expressed his support, but there were many objections. There was an imperial historian who was adamantly opposed to the abolition of the imperial examination system, and he asked Emperor Shun to cure Timur's sin. Unexpectedly, although Emperor Shun was very mediocre, he was in favor of abolishing the imperial examination system. Therefore, not only did he not support the imperial history, but demoted him to other places to become an official. Soon after, he ordered an edict abolishing the imperial examination system to be drafted and prepared to be issued. Before the book was issued, Xu Youwang, who was a little lower than Pingzhang, came out to oppose the abolition of the imperial examination system. He said to Boyan: "If the imperial examination system is abolished, all talented people in the world will resent it." Boyan said-for-tat: "If the imperial examination system is continued, there will be more people in the world who are corrupt and pervert the law." Xu Youwang retorted: "When the imperial examination system was not implemented, there were not many people who were corrupt and perverted the law?" Boyan sarcastically said: "I fancy that there are too few useful talents among the people who are promoted to the imperial examination, and only you can be appointed when you participate in politics!" Xu Youwang was not convinced, and cited many high-ranking officials at that time to refute Bo'e. Of course, Boyan would not change his opinion, so the two argued very fiercely. The next day, the Manchu civil and military forces were summoned to the Zongtianmen to listen to the emperor's edict abolishing the imperial examination system, and King Xu Youwang was specially insulted and told to listen to it at the head of the class. It seems that the emperor deliberately wanted this opponent to understand the edict. King Xu You was very reluctant in his heart, but he was afraid of offending the emperor and being harmed, so he had to reluctantly kneel in front of the hundred officials to listen to the edict. After listening to and reading the edict, the officials returned to the house one after another, and King Xu Youwang walked with his head bowed with an unhappy face. A royal historian named Puhua walked up to him, leaned his ear and sneered at him: "Participate in politics, you have become a person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge." What this means is that you are allowed to participate in politics by relying on the imperial examination to become an official, and now you are reading the emperor's edict on the abolition of the imperial examination system, and you kneel at the front, as if you are the leader of the abolition of the imperial examination system, just like a person who crosses a bridge and dismantles it. When Xu Youwang heard this, he was ashamed and hateful, and quickened his pace to leave. After that, he excused himself from illness and never went to court again.

He also sat silently and said nothing. Seeing him like this, Zhang Xuan couldn't put down the shelf, sat opposite him for a while, and left unhappy. Afterwards, Fan Ning reproached Wang Chen and said: "Zhang Xuan is an excellent talent in Wuzhong, why don't you talk to him well?" Wang Chen replied arrogantly: "If he really wants to have a relationship with me, he can come to talk to me."

Tian Yannian reported back to Huo Guang, Huo Guang was very satisfied, and immediately arranged for Yang Chang to lead the ministers to the table and invite the queen mother.

I thought to myself: they draw so slowly. He wanted to show his skills again, so he took a wine jug in his left hand and a branch in his right hand, drew the snake's feet, and said proudly, "You are so slow to draw!" It's not too late for me to draw a few more legs for the snake! ”

While he was drawing his feet and talking, another person had already finished drawing. The man immediately snatched the flask from his hand and said, "Have you ever seen a snake?" The serpent has no legs, so why do you add feet to him? So the first person to draw a snake is not you, it's me! ”
