Enlightenment from the classical Chinese "The Dog Beats the Tiger"

1. The dog beat the tiger and translated the original text in classical Chinese.

In a village of Zhao, the dog gave birth to three children, just in February, following the mother. A tiger roared out of the forest and ran to the bitch. Bitch is anxious to call her son to lie down. However, a son was eaten by a tiger. Zhao called the strong men nearby and chased them with spears. Two puppies ran to catch the tiger's tail and were taken away by the tiger. A dog's chest is a thorn, and its fur is exhausted. As a puppy, tigers are tired of their tails, so they can't take off their tails, and it's getting late. Everyone shouted forward, followed, and died by everyone's sword. Hey! The puppies are also brave.

There is a man named Zhao in a village. His dog gave birth to three puppies. Only two months later, the puppy and the bitch were born together. A tiger roared out of the Woods and ran quickly to the bitch. The bitch quickly summoned the puppy to hide under her. However, a puppy was eaten by a tiger. Zhao called all the young and strong people in the village and chased the tiger with spears. Two puppies ran to bite the tiger's tail, and the tiger dragged two puppies to run. The puppy was caught in the chest by thorns, and its hair was almost gone, and it refused to blurt it out. Because the tiger's tail was bitten by a puppy, it still couldn't shake off its tail and walked more and more slowly. Everyone shouted and rushed forward to catch up with the tiger, and the tiger finally died by everyone's sword. Ah! How brave two puppies are.

Extended data

Writing background:

This is the thing, written by Xu Qian, an academician of the Qing Dynasty. According to the contents of filial piety, loyalty, chastity, love, raising orphans, providing for the elderly as soon as possible, practicing faith, keeping good faith, saving lives, rewarding morality, redressing grievances, knowing a few things, being wise, etc., this book brings together all kinds of interesting stories about animals scattered in various ancient books, as well as many touching examples of mutual help, friendship and cleverness of these animals.

All the articles in the original work are in the name of "sword", such as "filial piety" and "loyalty", hoping that readers can take the virtue and kindness of these animals in the book as a mirror and gain a human conscience by comparing their own shortcomings. The title "This is the way things are" means "animals are still like this". I hope that human beings, as the spirit of all things, can reflect on themselves more deeply, strive to perfect their moral personality and become the conscience of heaven and earth.

About the author:

Xu Qian, the word is clear. No. White boat. People from Yongfeng Town, Guangfeng County, Jiangxi Province. A writer. When I was young, I was smart, enlightened, filial and friendly. Chen Wanli, the county magistrate, was called a wizard and personally sent him the word "Taishidi". In the 16th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 1 1), he was a scholar.

Go to Jishi Shu instead. The official department was entrusted to the official department in the scattered library. Ding Chounian (18 17) was sent to the make-up examination department as a probation officer. During Mao Yi's reign (18 19), Chu Jicang was the producer, cautious and fair, honest and clean. At the expiration of his term of office, he came to see me off endlessly, which was a good warehouse officer that he had not had for decades.

The next year, I transferred to a marine warehouse, and my work was still like saving money. An imperial envoy, Mo Baozhai, highly valued him. Xu Qian became close friends with Lin Wenzhong, Mao Chunmen, Liu Meisheng and Li Lanqing.

3. The enlightenment of the old saying "tiger" to me Liu Ji's poems are bold and unrestrained, and the fables are rich in meaning.

The article "Talking about the Tiger" is short 153 words, concise in content and profound in meaning. The article draws a conclusion directly from a typical case, which is short in length, concise in language and full of philosophical enlightenment.

Even a wise man sometimes nods, and four words are often used, such as the antithesis sentence "I know two sets of boxing, which is somewhat brute force", so that the expression is neat and concise and easy to read. Tigers are more than twice as strong as people.

Tigers have sharp claws, people don't have sharp claws, and tigers are twice as powerful as people, so it is not surprising that people are eaten by tigers. But it is not common for tigers to eat people. People often sit on tiger skins. Why? Tigers use strength, and people use wisdom; Tigers use their minions, and people can use tools.

So there is only one function of strength, one hundred functions of wisdom, one function of minions and one function of tools. With one enemy, though brave, it will be invincible. So people who are eaten by tigers have wisdom and tools but can't use them.

Therefore, people in the world who only know how to use strength without wisdom, who only know how to rely on their own role and don't know how to use the role of others, are just like tigers. What's strange about a tiger being caught sitting on its skin? Two key words in Talking about Tiger are "using wisdom", while others, such as "using things", "using hundreds" and "employing people", are all derivatives and inevitable results of "using wisdom". Explaining Wolf, Li Ji, Children's Biography and Punishing Evil Boys with Wisdom are the learning difficulties of this lesson.

There is a detail in Wolf that animals can't compete with people, that is, two wolves also show their cunning (one makes a hole in it, and the other falls asleep) and "dies instantly", so the wolf says, "What is the geometry of the change of animals?" Stop laughing. "In every article, people use things that come from" wisdom ",for example, butchers use haystacks and knives; The district sentry used the enemy's sword and gun to attack, and also made full use of the enemy's weakness (this is a special "employment"); Li sent "sword-dancing dogs" and even used rice paste, honey and other foods.

"Punishing the young with wisdom" also embodies "using wisdom", mainly in the penultimate paragraph, which tells how young Liu Bocheng "used wisdom" to defeat his opponent "Master Tuan". [Questioning doubts] How is the article "Talking about the Color Change of a Tiger" demonstrated step by step? This article first says that tigers are much better than people. It is not surprising that people fight with tigers and people are eaten by tigers.

Then put forward the opposite fact. It is not that tigers often eat people, but that people often eat tiger meat and enjoy tiger skin. This method of putting forward counterexamples is called revealing contradictions, and from the perspective of writing articles, it is called asking questions.

The author first draws a preliminary conclusion: tigers exert their strength and people use their wisdom. Tigers use their bodies, and people use things (tools) they create.

The body is a finite "one" and the tools are an infinite "one hundred". This not only puts forward contradictions, but also because of the huge difference in quantity between "one" and "hundred", the conditions for the transformation of contradictions appear.

People change from weak to strong, and tigers change from strong to weak. In this way, the argument becomes profound.

Then the article leads to "employing people for their own use" from "using soldiers without wisdom" Finally, the author points out that the tiger "sleeps on its skin for people." This is not only vivid, but also very rigorous in structure.

The beginning begins with the comparison between tigers and people, and the end is implemented in the relationship between tigers and people. Structurally, this is an end-to-end echo.

However, this can also be seen from another angle, that is, from the content point of view, in the structure of end-to-end echo, there is end-to-end contrast. It is a symbol of failure to say that the tiger is better than people at the beginning and that the tiger is defeated by people at the end.

In such a close, even closed structure, it shows profound contrast, and the integrity of the structure highlights the tension of "wisdom" in connotation.

4. tiger is an extracurricular classical Chinese. Students try to read it. After reading it, what is the revelation? Do tigers eat more people or do people beat tigers more? It's very simple. Just look at one of the few kings of beasts in the world and you will know the answer. Why can't a tiger with sharp teeth and claws beat people? Mr. Liu Ji made it very clear: "Use force instead of wisdom!"

Throughout the ages, I'm afraid few people will fight tigers purely by brute force, except Song Wu and Li Su. People have a thinking brain. Because of this, tigers have no claws and can't show off their strength. In the end, you can only shoot with an arrow and kill with a trap. During the Warring States Period, Qi and Chu were thousands of miles apart, with a million pieces of armor. Zhao was the best soldier in the world. However, in the end, only the western Qin dynasty dominated the world, which is the difference between wisdom and strength. Try to ask, 400,000 soldiers of Zhao are buried underground, and Li Mu, Zhao She, Lian Po and other peerless generals are useless; Under the strategy of attacking from afar and attacking from near, the six countries attacked each other and were eventually eaten by each other. Wisdom and strength are worlds apart. At the end of the Qin dynasty, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and Xiang Yu was invincible in the world, but he was defeated by the courage of ordinary people and the benevolence of women. The strong were finally defeated by the wise. At all times, there are thousands of wars, and the winners are those who are smarter. From the conquest of King Wu to the three major battles, from the Battle of Troy to the naval battle of Midway, the wise always have the last laugh.

The same is true in other battlefields of life. Some students fight day and night, give up entertainment and sleep, but their grades are not improving. Some students are in the forefront with their concerns about football and TV. The key lies in using brute force or brain, and improving efficiency with wisdom; In the shopping mall, millions of bankruptcies lose money, and self-made money rolls in, just because of the difference between wisdom and wisdom; In farmland, sweating may not necessarily water the seedlings, but scientific farming can make the wheat waves roll and the rice fragrance burst, which is also the difference between strength and wisdom.

Using wisdom doesn't mean just being smart, it's another kind of stupid performance. You can use "fools have wisdom" to describe the relationship between using wisdom and exerting it, that is, not giving up this or that. Being good at exertion is also a kind of "wisdom". Winning with smart people is an unchangeable law, but if you fall into the misunderstanding that others can only play tricks, you will lose.

In today's society, wisdom is undoubtedly the greatest wealth. As long as you are good at using wisdom and winning with wisdom, you can paddle and sail in the tide of the times and be invincible. On the other hand, Titanic is also born to die. It is not the great power of the icebreaker that melts the iceberg, but the wisdom light of the sun god.
