There was once a man named Ying Bin who was a county magistrate in a place. One year on the summer solstice, an old friend of his came to see him, and Ying Bin prepared a table of wine and food to entertain him.

On the wall behind my friend's seat hangs a red nu bow, which is reflected in a wine glass and is shaped like a small snake.

My friend picked up his glass, and when he was about to drink, he saw the inside of the glass

"Snake" was very frightened, but he still drank the glass of wine, and when he returned home, he felt very painful in his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't eat, and his body gradually lost weight.

The family invited many doctors for him, and they used many methods, but they were not cured. After a long time, Ying Bin felt very strange that the old friend hadn't seen each other since that time.

So I decided to go to a friend's house. I saw that my friend was pale and very sick. Ying Bin asked what the reason was.

A friend told him what had happened: "When I was drinking at your house, I saw a small snake in my stomach in the glass, and I was so scared that I fell ill when I got home. Ying Bin felt that this was a little strange, where did the snake come from in the wine glass?

After he returned to the county office, he kept thinking about it. Suddenly, when I turned around, I saw the crossbow hanging on the wall, and my heart suddenly understood.

So he specially prepared a carriage and horses, invited his old friend to his home again, put the banquet again, and still let the friend sit in the original position.

When my friend picked up the wine glass and looked at it, he suddenly screamed, and it turned out that the shadow of a snake appeared in the glass again. At this time, Ying Bin walked to his friend's seat with a wine glass and showed his wine glass to his friend, and there was also a snake shadow inside; Later, he asked his friend to leave the position with the original glass of wine, and when he looked at the cup again, the snake shadow was gone.

The friend was very puzzled, Ying Bin asked the friend to look back at the crossbow hanging on the wall, and said to the friend: "The crossbow on the wall is reflected in the wine glass, which is the snake in the cup you see, but in fact, it is just the shadow of the crossbow, and there is nothing in the cup." The mystery in my friend's heart suddenly disappeared, and he laughed, and his spirit was much refreshed.

After I went back, I was cured quickly. Idiom interpretation: "Cup bow snake shadow" is a metaphor for suspicious ghosts, scaring oneself, and making a false alarm.

Idiom experience: Children, we should not be confused by illusions in life, when we encounter problems, ask why, think more, and we will be able to find out the truth of the matter.
