"The wind roars and the cranes roar, and the grass and trees are all soldiers" is an idiom. The eight characters can be used together, or only the last four characters can be used. It describes that when people are very frightened, they will become nervous at the slightest disturbance. Scared to death, often describes the fear in the heart of a loser.

It should be noted that the word "唳" in the idiom is different from the word "tears" in Cantonese. The two words in Cantonese have the same pronunciation. In Mandarin, "唳" is not pronounced as "tears", but "li". This word can be interpreted as the sound of birds chirping. Of course, "Crane" originally refers to the chirping of cranes, but it generally refers to the chirping of birds.

"The sound of the wind and the roar of cranes, all the grass and trees are soldiers", that is, the sound of the wind and the chirping of birds are also regarded as abnormal sounds of the enemy chasing, and every plant and tree is also regarded as the enemy's army. This shows how frightened and frightened you are when you are defeated and fleeing!

This phrase comes from "Book of Jin·Fu Jian Zai Ji". During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Qiang Qin always wanted to annex the Jin Dynasty. King Qin Fu Jian personally led an army of 800,000 to attack the Jin Dynasty. Jin sent generals Xie Shi and Xie Xuan to fight with 80,000 troops. Of course, Fu Jian was arrogant and did not take into account the disparity in strength of the Jin army.

However, he did not expect that the vanguard of the vanguard would be defeated in the first battle with the Jin army, and Fu Jian panicked. He and his younger brother Fu Rong went to the front line at night to inspect. He saw that the Jin army had a neat lineup and high morale. Even the vegetation on Bagong Mountain where the Jin army was stationed looked like soldiers all over the mountain! Then, in the decisive battle at Feishui, the Qin army was completely defeated and suffered heavy losses. King Fu Jian of Qin himself was injured, and his younger brother Fu Rong was also killed. Fu Jian fled in a hurry. When he heard the wind and birds, he thought it was the enemy's pursuers arriving again. Based on this historical fact, later generations coined the idiom "the wind is roaring and the cranes are roaring, and the grass and trees are all soldiers".
