There was a hunter who was hunting in the mountains and shot the male pheasant to death, leaving the female pheasant behind. . Some people asked him why he did this, and he said: "Leave the female pheasants to lure the male pheasants; (if) shoot the female pheasants to death, the male pheasants will fly away; capture them at the same time, and later Just found nothing."

A few months later, the female pheasant attracted a male pheasant, and the hunter shot the male pheasant. A few more years passed like this, and many male pheasants were caught. Until one day, the female pheasant followed the hunter home and hit her head on the long table with the incense burner in front of the courtyard and died.

Later, the hunter's family members died one after another, and they went bankrupt due to the lawsuit. Soon the hunter also died, and ultimately there was no descendant. Some people say: "There is no one who does not love his lover, and birds do the same." Although the hunter's strategy is cunning, the pheasant's revenge is even more tragic.

Social background

In the late Western Han Dynasty, political corruption and class conflicts continued to intensify. At that time, due to the collusion between feudal bureaucrats, landlords, and businessmen, they accelerated land annexation and brutally exploited and oppressed the peasants and handicraftsmen, causing social contradictions and crises. Under such circumstances, the series of "restructurings" implemented by Wang Mang after he "usurped the Han Dynasty" more seriously damaged social productivity and the social economy, brought severe suffering to the people, and pushed the majority of peasants into unrest and despair. The dead end of legal life. Even rich families like Lu Mu, whose family had millions of assets, could not bear the harsh rule of the tiger, and finally revolted. 6. Once upon a time, there were two male and female pigeons in classical Chinese.

In the past, there were two male and female pigeons that sat in the same nest. When the autumn fruits were ripe, the nest was full of fruits.

Later, the number of fruit stems decreased and only half of the nest remained. The male and the female said: "You work hard to get the fruit, but you eat it alone, and only half of it is there."

The female pigeon replied: "If I don't eat alone, the fruit will be reduced." The male pigeon didn't believe it, and said it angrily. : "If you don't eat alone, why should it be reduced?" Even if you peck the female pigeon with your beak, it will be killed.

After a few days, it rained heavily, and the fruit was moistened and returned to its original state. When the male pigeon saw it, he felt remorseful: "It won't eat, so I killed it in vain."

Then it screamed sadly and called the female pigeon: "Where are you going!" Translation: There were two pigeons, male and female. Living together in the same nest. When the fruits are ripe in autumn, a nest full of them will be taken.

Later, the fruit shrank and became only half a nest. The male pigeon scolded the female pigeon: "I brought the fruit, you worked hard, and you ate it alone, only half of it was left."

The female pigeon replied: "I didn't eat it secretly, the fruit decreased by itself." The male pigeon didn't believe it and said angrily: "If you didn't eat it alone, how could it be reduced?" Then he pecked the female pigeon to death.

A few days later, it rained heavily, and the fruits got wet and returned to their original nest. When the male pigeon saw it, he began to regret: "She did not eat, I killed her by mistake."

Then he cried sadly and called the female pigeon: "Where have you been?" It means acting impulsively, blindly, and without reason. Jumping to conclusions often leads to big mistakes that cannot be made up for even if one regrets in the future. The source of "Hundred Parables" is called "Hundred Parables", which means that there are one hundred parable stories, but there are only ninety-eight parable stories in existence. There are two ways to say "hundred", one is an integer. The second is to add the introduction to the front volume and the insults at the end of the volume to make a hundred chapters.

The full text of "The Book of Hundred Parables" is more than 20,000 words, with a single structure. Each article adopts a two-step method. The first step is to tell a story, which is an introduction, and the second step is a metaphor to explain a Buddhist doctrine. . It was translated from Sanskrit into Chinese and has a history of more than 1,500 years.

As soon as this sutra was circulated, it was welcomed by readers. "The Book of One Hundred Parables", formerly titled "The Book of One Hundred Parables", consists of four volumes (or five volumes). It is a work that uses allegories to illustrate teachings.

This book was collected by the Indian Sangha Sena in the fifth century. At the end of the book there are six verses from the author's postscript.

The postscript of the poem says: "The Venerable Sangha Sena composed "The Chihua Garland"." "Chihua Garland" should be the original title of this book.

There are more than 300 words in sequence before the first metaphor in the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasty Tibetan editions. It says that the Buddha preached this sutra to five hundred people of different schools of Brahma in the Magpie Feng Bamboo Garden in Rajagaha City, and chanted it with Sangha Sina. The discrepancy is obviously added by later generations. This book was written at a time when Indian fable literature was at its peak, and when the famous Panchatantra (a collection of Sanskrit fables written by Brahmin scholars to teach noble children) was popular. It can be said to be a timely work, but in In India, no Sanskrit version of it has been found until now.

The translator of this book is Qiu Napidhi, a Chinese Indian and a disciple of Sanghasna. He is intelligent and has a strong memory, and can recite more than 100,000 words of Mahayana and Mahayana sutras.

He recited all the hundreds of similes collected by Sangha Sena and understood their meaning deeply. He came to Jianye in the early Jianyuan period of the Southern Qi Dynasty (479) and lived in Biliye Temple. On September 10, the tenth year of Yongming (492), he translated this book. "Sutra" in one volume each. Later, he took photos of his disciples at Zhiguan Temple in Jianye and became very famous. In the second year of Zhongxing (502), he stayed at Zhiguan Temple.

This book belongs to the category of metaphors among the twelve classics. Each chapter is composed of metaphors and methods. A metaphor is a short fable, and a dharma is the teaching shown in this fable.

These fables mainly describe humorous and ridiculous things. They are very ironic and can also be used as jokes. Sangha Sina said in the postscript: This book uses a joking method to explain the Buddha's teachings, such as using bitter medicine and stone honey. Although the taste of honey is lost, it is mainly used to cure diseases.

Tell a joke first and then talk about Buddhism, such as taking medicine by spitting it out first, and then moisturizing the body with cake. The joke contains Buddhist teachings, such as leaves wrapped in Agatha medicine. I hope readers will only take the Agatha medicine of Buddhism and abandon the leaves of laughter.

However, the fables described in each chapter of this sutra may have been spread among the people in the past and later adopted by Buddhist scholars. The extant parable scriptures in the Chinese Tripitaka include, in addition to this book, one volume of the Dao-lue collection "Miscellaneous Parity Sutra", translated by Yao Qin Kumarajiva, and the Dao-lue collection "Zhongjing Zhongshuan Miscellaneous Parables" in two volumes, etc.

The metaphors in this book about curing whiplash, the snake's head and tail fighting in front, the metaphor about trampling on the elder's mouth, and the metaphor about robbing and dividing wealth are just like the 23rd and 23rd chapters in the "Miscellaneous Parables Sutra". Twenty-five, fourteen, and sixteen are equivalent metaphors. Also, the metaphor of a fool gathering cow's milk and the metaphor of seeing a golden shadow under water are similar to the sixth and forty-two metaphors in "Zhongjing Compilation of Miscellaneous Parables".

They may have some relationship in origin. But from a structural point of view, the rest of the Parables are not as neat as those described in this book.

The content of this book, among the four volumes, is the twenty-one parables in the first volume, the twenty parables in the second volume, the twenty-four parables in the third volume, and the thirty-three parables in the fourth volume, ** *Ninety-eight metaphors. The name "Hundred Metaphors" should be used to refer to a large number of them.

To sum up the meaning of each metaphor, it can be divided into three categories: 1. Among them, there are ten kinds that can cure troubles: (1) those that treat greed, there are the 16th sugarcane metaphor, the 17th metaphor There are seven metaphors, including the metaphor of a debt with half a penny. (2) To cure anger, there are four metaphors, including the metaphor of the thirteenth saying that people like to be angry, and the metaphor of the forty-eighth wild stems as broken branches.

(4) To deal with slowness, there are four metaphors such as the twenty-eighth metaphor of women's trade and the forty-third metaphor of grinding a big stone. , (5) To cure doubts, there are the 26th Parable of the King's Eyes, the 70th Parable of the Fruit of Taste the Temple, and (6) to cure the body's view, there are the 30th Parable of the Shepherd and the 70th Parable of the Shepherd. There are four metaphors, including the metaphor of the thirty-five precious baskets and mirrors. (7) To treat side views, there are two metaphors: the 61st metaphor of the cause of creation by Brahma disciples and the 62nd metaphor of a patient eating pheasant meat. (8) To cure wrong views. There are the fifty-eighth metaphor of two sons dividing wealth, the ninety-fourth metaphor of Mani water sinus and two metaphors, (9) the antidote, the fourth metaphor of a woman pretending to be dead, the fifth metaphor of seeing water when thirsty, etc. Three metaphors, (10) are used to treat abstinence and prohibition, including the first metaphor of a fool eating salt, the twelfth metaphor of boiling black stone and honey, and other eight metaphors.

2. Among them, there are four types of metaphors that deal with evil deeds: (1) To deal with stinginess, there are four metaphors such as the second parable of the milk of fools and the parable of sixty-five and five hundred happy pills. (2) To deal with those who violate the precepts, There are eighteen metaphors such as the sixth son's death wish to stop at home, the fourteenth metaphor of killing the merchant to worship heaven, etc. (3) To deal with evil destiny, there are the third metaphor of breaking the head with a pear, the seventh metaphor of recognizing someone as a brother, etc. Seven metaphors: (4) To treat laziness, there are five metaphors, including the fifteenth metaphor of the doctor and the queen's medicine, and the forty-seventh metaphor of the poor man making mandarin ducks.

3. Among them, there are two types of those who explain the meaning of Dharma: (1) those who explain the meaning of emptiness, such as the 49th child who strives to distinguish hairy metaphors, the 52nd Jier who makes music metaphors, etc. 7. Cat's Revenge Classical Chinese Translation Ji Yun

My house was plagued by rats, so I asked for help from others and got a cat.

The Lord is tall and tall, with sharp claws and teeth. I secretly think that there is no need to worry about the rat plague anymore.

Because it is not yet tamed, (it is) tied with a rope and waited (for it to tame), waiting for it to tame. When the rats heard its voice, they all peeped at it, looking like a capable fellow. They were afraid that it would eat them, so they held their breath and did not dare to come out of the hole for more than a month.

Later, when it was tamed, the rope that bound it was removed. Just in time to see the hatched chick, the cat suddenly jumped up and grabbed it. By the time the servant caught up with it, the cat had already swallowed the chick.

The servant wanted to catch it and beat it, but I said, "No! A capable person must have a shortcoming. It eats chickens. This is its shortcoming. Doesn't it have the ability to catch mice?" So I let it go. . After that, it just acted cautiously and leisurely, eating and playing when it was hungry and doing nothing.

The mice peeped again, thinking that it was hiding its true identity from them, so they still held their breath and hid without daring to come out of the hole. Later, the more the mouse peered into the cave, the more he felt that there was nothing unusual, so he went from cave to cave and told him: "It has nothing to do."

Then he came out with everyone and ran rampant as before. I was very surprised, but another chick passed by the hall, and (the cat) immediately went over to catch it and ran away.

(Servant) chased, but had already bitten half of it. My servant grabbed it and came to (mine) and scolded it: "God created talents who are not all-powerful. Those who have abilities must have shortcomings.

Regardless of shortcomings, there are still abilities that can be used. Ah. Now you have no ability to catch mice, but you have the problem of eating chickens. You are really a waste of the world!" Then he whipped it and drove it away. 8. Describes a person with a bad heart, a strong desire for revenge, and a disdain for others' good deeds
