【Idiom Story】:

The Suga of the idiom "grass Kan human life" is a kind of thatch. Killing is treated like mowing thatch. It refers to the ruler's indiscriminate use of coercion, contempt for human life, and arbitrary cruelty of human life.

This idiom comes from the Hanshu. The Biography of Jia Yi ,...... Therefore, Hu Hai ascended the throne today and shot people tomorrow,...... It looks like killing, as if cutting grass. Is it only Hu Hai's evil nature? It is not the reason for him to lead him. Therefore also.

Jia Yi, a native of Luoyang, was a famous literati during the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Bright and studious since childhood, he is extremely talented. He was summoned by Emperor Wen as a doctor, and later served as an official doctor in Taizhong. But because he was jealous, he was later named the prince of Changsha (teacher). Political disambition made him use Qu Yuan as a self-metaphor and wrote the famous "Hanging Qu Yuanfu" and other articles. Later, Emperor Wen of Han recalled him to the palace and asked him to serve as the concubine of Liu Yi, the king of Liang. King Liang was the favorite son of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wen expected him to inherit the throne in the future, so he asked him to read more books, hoping that Jia Yi would teach him well. Jia Yi made a comment on this, he said: "It is important to tutor the prince and teach him to read, but more importantly, it is to teach him how to be an upright person. If it was like Zhao Gao teaching Hu Hai of Qin II in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, what Hu Hai was taught was severe torture, and what he learned was either to kill his head and cut off his nose, or to behead all over the house. Therefore, as soon as Hu Hai became the emperor, he killed people indiscriminately, and treated killing people as if he were cutting thatch, and it was not the same thing. Is this just that Hu Hai's nature is born bad? The reason why he is like this is because the people who taught him did not lead him to the right path, and that is the fundamental reason. ”

Later, Jia Yi went to Liang to take office as a concubine and carefully tutored King Liang. However, King Liang Huai accidentally fell to his death while riding a horse, and Jia Yi injured himself and did not fulfill his responsibilities as Taibo, so he was depressed all day long, often crying, and died more than a year later, at the age of 33.

However, Jia Yi's brilliant exposition has been handed down. As an idiom, "careless of human life" is also used to describe the murderous viciousness of the reactionary ruling class.
