There is a small country called Yelang in the southwest. Although it is an independent country, its land is very small, its people are few, and its products are even less. However, because Yelang is the largest country in the neighboring area, it has never left The King of Yelang Kingdom who lived in the country thought that the country he ruled was the largest country in the world. One day, when the King of Yelang Kingdom and his subordinates were inspecting the border, he pointed ahead and asked: "Which country here is the largest?" In order to cater to the king's wishes, they said: "Of course Yelang Kingdom is the biggest!" As they walked, the king raised his head again, looked at the mountains in front of him and asked: "Is there any mountain in the world that is bigger than this one?" A high mountain?" The subordinates replied: "There is no higher mountain in the world than this mountain." Later, when they came to the river, the king asked again: "I think this is the longest river in the world." ." The subordinates still replied in unison: "What the king said is absolutely right." From then on, the ignorant king believed that Yelang was the largest country in the world. Once, the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to Yelang, and on the way First, they passed Yelang's neighbor Dian Kingdom. The King of Dian asked the envoy: "Which country is bigger, the Han Dynasty or my country?" The envoy was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that this small country could ignorantly think that it could compete with the Dian Kingdom. Compared with the Han Dynasty, I didn't expect that when the envoy arrived at Yelang Kingdom, the proud and ignorant king didn't know that the country he ruled was only about the same size as a county in the Han Dynasty. He didn't know the heights of the sky and asked the envoy: "The Han Dynasty and mine" Which country is bigger?" Interpretation of "Yelang Arrogant" is a metaphor for being ignorant and arrogant. (19) Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain Legend has it that in ancient times there were two big mountains, one was called Taihang Mountain and the other was called Wangwu Mountain. There lived an old man named Yugong in the Beishan Mountain. He was almost 90 years old. Every time he went out, he had to go in a long circle because he was blocked by these two mountains. One day, he summoned the whole family and said, "I am going to work with you to use the I will devote my whole life to moving Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain and building a highway to the south. What do you think?" Everyone agreed, but Yugong's wife raised a question: "With the combined strength of all of us, we can't do it. If you move a small mountain, how can you move the two big mountains of Taihang and Wangwu? Besides, where should you put the excavated soil and stones?" After discussion, everyone thought that the excavated soil and stones could be put The chunks were thrown to the seaside in the east and the farthest place in the north. Early the next morning, Yu Gong and his children and grandchildren began to dig in the mountains. Although the family could not dig much every day, they still persisted in digging. They did not return until the season changed. Once at home, an old man named Zhisou learned about this incident and came to persuade Yu Gong: "You are not smart to do this. How can you dig down these two mountains with your limited energy?" What?" Yu Gong replied: "You are too stubborn and cannot be enlightened. Even if I die, my son will still be here. If my son dies, there will still be a grandson, and the grandson will have children, and the children will have sons. There is no end to the descendants, but the mountain will not grow any higher, so why can't it be dug level?" At that time, the mountain god saw that Yu Gong and the others were digging the mountain, so he reported the matter to God. God was moved by Yu Gong's spirit, Two Hercules were sent down to earth to carry the two mountains away. From then on, there were no longer mountains blocking the place. The spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period of the dynasty to which it belongs comes from "Liezi Tang Wen Wu" records: There are two big mountain blocks in front of Yu Gong's house. On the way, he was determined to level the mountain. Another old man, Zhi Sou, laughed at him and thought he was too stupid. Yu Gong said: After I die, I will have a son, and after my son dies, I will have grandchildren. There is no end to the children and grandchildren. Two The mountain will eventually be leveled. The interpretation is a metaphor for unremittingly transforming nature and unswerving struggle. (20) Practice makes perfect.
