Ten fables and their meanings, classical Chinese.

Avoid seeing a doctor despite obvious illness.

Bian Que was a famous doctor in ancient times. One day, he went to see Cai Huanhou. After studying Cai Huanhou's face carefully, he said, "Your Majesty, you are ill. Now the disease is only on the surface of the skin. It is cured quickly and well. " Cai Huanhou disapprovingly said, "I'm not sick. I don't need you to treat me! " After Bian Que left, Cai Huanhou said to his left and right, "These doctors have to treat people who are not sick all day, so they can prove their medical skills in this way." Ten days later, Bian Que visited Cai Huanhou again. He said anxiously, "Your illness has developed to muscle. You have to pay close attention to treatment! " Cai Huanhou cocked his head: "I'm not sick at all! You go! Cai Huanhou was very unhappy after Bian Que left. Ten days later, Bian Que visited Cai Huanhou again. He looked at Cai Huanhou's face and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, your illness has entered your stomach, and you can't delay it any longer! Cai Huan Hou shook his head again and again: "Damn, what's wrong with me!" " ! After Bian Que left, Cai Huanhou became even more unhappy. Ten days later, Bian Que visited Cai Huanhou again. He only took one look, turned around and left. Cai Huanhou was very puzzled, so he sent someone to ask Bian Que, "Why did you turn away when you went to see the king? Bian Que said, "You are not afraid of getting sick." . As long as it is treated in time, the general disease will gradually get better. I'm afraid I'm sick and say I'm not sick. I won't accept treatment. If the disease is in the skin, you can use hot compress; If the disease is in the muscles, acupuncture can be used; You can take soup medicine if your stomach is uncomfortable. However, now the king's illness has penetrated into the bone marrow. I was very ill, so I resigned myself to my fate and dared not ask for treatment for the king again. "Sure enough, five days later, Cai Huanhou's illness broke out suddenly. He sent for Bian Que at once, but Bian Que has gone to other countries. A few days later, Cai Huanhou died of illness.

[hint]

If you are sick, you must listen to the doctor's advice and treat honestly. If there are shortcomings and mistakes, we should also listen to everyone's criticism with an open mind and seriously correct them. Otherwise, if you make mistakes again and again, your illness will get worse and worse, and your mistakes will get worse and worse, even to the point where there is no cure.

[Original]

When Bian Que saw Cai Huangong ①, there was a room ②. Bian Que said, "You have a disease ③. If you don't treat it, you will be afraid." Huan Hou said, "I have no disease." Leave Bian Que. Huan Hou said, "A good doctor counts merits." After living in 10 days, Bian Que saw him again and said, "Your disease is in the skin. If you don't treat it, it will get better." The result was ignored again. Leave Bian Que. Huan Hou is unhappy again. Ten days later, Bian Que walked in and said, "Your illness is in your stomach, and the treatment will be more serious." The result was ignored again. Leave Bian Que. Huan Hou is unhappy again. On the 10th, Bian Que watched Huan Hou go. Huan Hou makes people ask. Bian Que said: "The disease is in reason, and the soup is burning." In the skin, the needle stone is also within reach; In the stomach, fire is everywhere (11); In bone marrow, Siming belongs to (12), but there is no way! Now in the bone marrow, I have no invitation (13). "After living for five days, Huan Gong was sore; I sent someone to look for it (14). I have escaped from the state of Qin. Huan Hou died (15). -"Everything is ready"

Carve a monkey on a thorn.

The prince posted posters everywhere to solicit craftsmen with special skills. A patriotic man came to apply for the job, claiming that he could carve a lifelike monkey on a thorn. The prince was very happy to hear that he had such superior skills, and immediately gave him extremely generous treatment and provided him with supplies. A few days later, the prince wanted to see the artistic treasures carved by the skillful craftsman. The patriotic man said, "If the monarch wants to meet, he must follow my two conditions: first, he must not enter the harem to meet his concubines within six months; Second, don't drink or eat meat. Then choose a rainy day with sunrise. In the half-bright and half-dark light, you can see the monkey I carved on the top of the thorn. " As soon as the prince hears these conditions, it will not work. He can only continue to feed the patriotic men in the inner palace with luxurious food, but he has never had a chance to appreciate the treasures he carved. A blacksmith in the palace could not help laughing secretly. He said to the prince, "I specialize in making knives." As we all know, even the smallest carving can only be carved with a meat cleaver, so the carved thing must be larger than the blade of the meat cleaver. If the tip of the thorn is too thin to accommodate the smallest blade, you can't carve on it. Ask the king to check the craftsman's meat cleaver, and you will know whether what he said is true or not. "Hearing this, the king woke up like a dream. He immediately called the patriotic people and asked, "What tool did you use to carve the monkey on the thorn tip?" Wei replied, "carve a knife. The prince said, "Please show me your meat cleaver." "Hearing this, the wei ren panicked and said that he would go to the mansion to get a meat cleaver, then slipped out of the palace and ran away.

[hint]

Cowhide and lies, no matter how clever, can't stand serious investigation and careful analysis. According to this fable, people often call lies "the theory of thorns". It should be noted that the cowhide boasted by China people in the story should be distinguished from today's micro-carving art. With the development of the times and the progress of technology, people can carve hair with very fine carving knives, magnifying glasses and microscopes. But one or two thousand years ago, people's technology could not reach such a high level. The blacksmith's analysis and judgment in the story is based on the level at that time.

[Original]

The prince recruited a skilled magician, and the guardian said, "You can use the end of the thorn as a female monkey." The prince said, and lifted it five times. The king said, "I try to observe that the guest is a thorny female monkey." The guest said, "If you want to see the fourth one, you must not be an official for half a year, and you can't drink or eat meat. Rain and fog start at 6 o'clock, see you between the shade. Female monkeys with thorns can also be seen. " The prince can't see the mother monkey because he has been guarding people. You Zheng, the owner of the audience, said that the Prince of Yan said, "I am also a chipper. Anything that is small must be chipped, and the chipping must be greater than the chipping." Today, the prickles are not sharpened (1 1), and it is difficult to eradicate them (12). Wang tries to observe the guest's eagerness, can you know it? "the king said," good! " Ren Wei said, "The guest is the female monkey of the thorn, so why bother (13)?" Say, "chop it." The king said, "I want to see it." The guest said, "I ask you to give up (14). "Because of escape. -"Everything is ready"

In order to study and succeed, you must study hard and lay a solid foundation.

Gan Fei was a famous archer in ancient times. As long as he pulls the bow, he shoots down the beast and the bird. Wei Fei is a student of Gan Fei. Because of his diligent study and practice, he has surpassed his teacher in archery. There's a man named Suotuo who came here to worship Wei Fei as his teacher. Wei Fei said to him, "You must learn not to blink under any circumstances." With such skills, we can talk about school archery. "Ji Chang came home and lay on his back under his wife's loom, his eyes glued to the fast-moving parts. Two years later, he couldn't blink even if he pricked his eyes with a needle. Ji Chang was pleased to report this achievement to Wei Fei. Wei Fei said: "It is not enough to have this skill, but also to cultivate a pair of good eyes. You can see very small things, but you can clearly see vague things. With such skills, you can learn archery. "Ji Chang came home, caught a louse (louse, sh:), tied it with a very thin oxtail hair and hung it on the window. He stared at the window every day. More than ten days passed, and the lice that became smaller because of dryness gradually became bigger in Jichang's eyes; After practicing for three years, this louse is as big as a wheel in his eyes. He looked at something a little bigger, almost like a hill, big and clear. Jichang drew his bow and arrow and shot at lice. The sharp arrow went straight through the center of the louse, but the hair of the cow's tail was as thin as a hair and was not broken. Ji Chang was so happy that he reported this new achievement to Wei Fei. Wei Fei nodded again and again and said with a smile, "Everything comes to him who waits, you have learned! " "

[hint]

From the story of Ji Chang learning to shoot, we can realize the extreme importance of learning basic skills well. To learn any knowledge and skills, we must have tenacious perseverance, step by step, and lay a solid foundation in order to really improve. There are no effortless "tricks" and "shortcuts". When we read fables, we are mainly inspired and educated by the truth explained by fables. Don't imitate the specific practices described in the story, such as exercising your eyesight like Ji Chang. If you don't do it well, you may get the opposite effect

[Original]

In ancient times, the sharpshooter was willing to fly, and when he pulled the bow, the beast fell under the bird. Disciple Wei Fei learned to shoot flies, but he was more skilled than his teacher. Ji Changzhe also learned to shoot at Wei Fei. Wei Fei said: "I can't learn it instantly before I can shoot." Ji Changgui, lying under his wife's machine, looked after him with his eyes. Two years later, although the cone tail was inverted, it was not instantaneous. Tell Wei Fei. Wei Fei said: "If not, I can look at it later, ⑤, small to large, small to ⑤, and then tell me."

Cunning bat

Phoenix is the king of birds. On Phoenix's birthday, all the birds came to congratulate him, but the bat didn't appear. Phoenix stopped it and reprimanded it: "You are under my jurisdiction, how dare you be so arrogant!" " The bat stamped his foot and said, "I have animal feet. I am a citizen of the animal country." "Can your bird country manage me?" A few days later, Kirin celebrated her birthday. Kirin is the king of beasts. All the animals came to celebrate their birthdays, but the bats still didn't show up. Kirin stopped it and reprimanded it: "You belong to my jurisdiction, how dare you be so presumptuous!" " The bat flapped its wings and said, "I have wings and am a citizen of the country of birds." "Your animal kingdom is too wide!" One day, Phoenix and Kirin met. When it came to the bat, it realized that it was lying on both sides. Phoenix and Kirin shook their heads and said with emotion, "The current atmosphere is too bad. It happened that these guys who were neither birds nor beasts were born, and there was really no way to do anything with them! "

[hint]

People still often regard two-faced people as bats. These people, have it both ways, make ends meet, constantly changing their principles and positions, trying to make profits through speculation. However, they can only succeed for a while, and one day they will show their ugly faces and be spurned.

[Original]

Phoenix is alive, birds meet him, bats don't come. Feng scolded, "Why are you proud to live under my command?" The bat said, "I've had enough. I belong to the beast. What's the use of congratulations? " One day, the unicorn was born and the bat was not there. Lin is also responsible for this. The bat said, "I have wings and belong to birds."

Stick a pole into the city

There was a man in the state of Lu who went to town with a thick and long bamboo root. When he reached the gate, he stood up to get it, but he was stuck by the gate. He took it sideways and got stuck in the walls on both sides. After a long struggle, he was too tired to enter the city. An old man next to him looked at him and smiled: "You big straw bag! There is only one string in my head! At my age, I have crossed more bridges than you have. Why don't you ask me? " The bamboo seller quickly bowed to him: "Please give me more advice!" " The old man stroked his white beard and said, "It's very simple. You saw the bamboo in two and went in. " "If the bamboo is sawed off, it can't be used." "That's better than being stuck outside the city!" The bamboo seller borrowed a saw, sawed off the bamboo and took it to the city.

[hint]

If the bamboo seller is stupid and ridiculous, then the old man with white beard who likes to teach others a lesson is even more stupid. Some "old hands" always like to do things according to old experience and old rules. They are not good at flexibly considering extremely simple or even common sense problems according to the actual situation. As a result, many bad ideas were put forward.

[Original]

Lu has a long pole to enter the city gate, but he can't enter at the beginning; You can't get in if you hold it sideways. Nothing can be done. An old father in Russia said to ②: "I am not a saint, but I have seen many things!" ! Why not use a saw? "Then cut it off.

-"Laughing Forest"

[Notes]

(1) hold-hold.

(2) Russia-for a while. Father (f incarnation)-honorific title for the elderly.

Golden hook cinnamon bait

There is a man in Lu who likes to talk about ostentation and extravagance. Fishing is one of his great hobbies. He made a fishhook out of gold and decorated it with recognizable silver thread and emeralds. He twisted the jade bird's feathers into thin threads and used fragrant cinnamon as bait. His fishing rod is the most advanced, and his position and posture are very particular when fishing, but he catches very few fish.

[hint]

Pay attention to practical results. One-sided pursuit of form can only achieve the opposite effect. In this fable, people who fish with gold hooks and cinnamon bait provide us with a very vivid example.

[Original]

Lu people are good anglers, taking laurel as bait, forging the hook of gold, mistaking silver blue for jade and hanging jade silk. Its extreme position is ⑤, but it has few fish. -"Quezi"

[Notes]

(1) Good (Hao) hobby.

(2) Cinnamon-Cinnamon bark can be used as a spice. This refers to spices made of cinnamon. Bait (R)-Food to attract fish.

(4) Jade (Fcicu)-the name of a bird with blue and green feathers. Feathers can be used as decorations. Nylon (lún)- Silk thread for fishing.

(5) The location should be-location. Yes.-correct.

There is a kind of monkey named "Lin (náo)" in the forest. It is light and flexible, good at climbing trees and has small claws.

As sharp as a knife. It often flatters the tiger and wins its favor.

The tiger's scalp itches at both ends for three days, and when it itches, it rubs on the trunk. Gentle voice and sweet words

He said quietly, "Uncle Hu, how dirty it is to rub against the tree. Moreover, it doesn't itch. " Let me shave it for you. "Go ahead.

Jump on the tiger's head and tickle it with sharp claws. The tiger felt very comfortable and narrowed his eyes.

My eyes are wide open and I want to doze off. Lin Yue grabbed harder and harder, and slowly dug a small hole in the back of the tiger's head.

Put your paws in and eat the tiger's brain bit by bit. When you are full, bring up the residue you spit out.

Dedicated to the tiger: "Uncle Hu, I made some meat while you were dozing off. I'm afraid of myself.

Eat by yourself. These are for family, not too few. The tiger was deeply moved and grateful.

He said, "You are really loyal to me. You would rather starve yourself than forget to respect me. I am very grateful. "

Say it and swallow it in one gulp.

Over time, the tiger's brain was hollowed out, and his headache seemed to crack. People have found that since

I was cheated by you. I'm trying to get even with you. However, Lin has long been hiding in the high branches.

The tiger roared in pain, hit several bones and fell to the ground and died.

[hint]

Throughout the ages, because I like to listen to compliments, I treat bad people as good people, and I miss the big things and hurt myself.

Not one or two. This fable once again sounded the alarm for us. We should be honest people,

Never be an apple polisher like Lin; We should also be a hundred times wary of those flattering villains.

Let flattery have no market, and let flatterers hit a wall everywhere.

[Original]

Beasts have passion, a small and good fate, and claws. The tiger's head itches, so scratch it. Cavitation,

Tigers are so fast that they don't feel like it. Xu Xu took out his brain and threw away the rest to serve the tiger, saying, "I do this occasionally.

If you get fish, you dare not be selfish, but you can be left or right. The tiger said, "I am loyal, but I love you. Forget it."

Abdomen (1 1). "She has (12), and she has feelings (13). After a long time, the tiger's brain is empty and it hurts. Tracking (14),

-"Xian Yi Bian"

[Notes]

2 good karma-good at grasping things and climbing. Edge, climb.

(3) Do something (zhé)-right away. Never stop.-never stop.

(4) extremely fast-very comfortable. Extraordinary, very, very. Come on, happy, happy.

Look at the picture and find a good horse-follow the clue to find something

Bole was a famous horse expert in ancient times. He has accumulated a wealth of knowledge about horses.

Experience, wrote a book "Xiang Ma Jing".

Bole's son really wants to learn the skills of Xiangma. He reads the fragrant horse sutra from morning till night and plays it.

Learn by heart. One day, the son proudly said, "Dad, I have your horse watching skills."

Learned. Bole smiled and said, "Well, you go and find a swift horse and let me come." .

Identification. Identification. "The son readily promised, and went out with the Horse Sutra, carrying it while walking.

Recite: "The forehead of a swift horse.

Raised, eyes protruding, hooves like wine cakes. "He walked to find, see big.

Small animals should be compared with the standards in the fragrant horse sutra. However, some only meet one, and some.

None of them match. Finally, he saw a toad by the pond, staring, "Goo, goo,

Sentimental ... "shouted. He studied the "Xiang Ma Jing" for a long time, and then wrapped the toad in paper.

Get up excitedly

I ran home and reported to my father, "Maxima is really hard to find. The conditions you set are too high. I'm fine.

It is not easy to find a horse by the pond. The forehead and eyes are the same as those in your book, but the hooves are not.

Such as wine and medicine cakes. You give an appraisal. "

Bole opened the paper bag and smiled bitterly. "Son, this swift horse you found,

I can't run, I can jump, and I'm afraid you can't control it! "

[hint]

It is an exaggeration for the fable writer to mistake toad for a swift horse. However, in study and work,

It is really common to learn dogma by rote, which leads to jokes and losses.

We should study hard and inherit the book knowledge handed down by our predecessors, but we must pay attention to practice.

It is the correct attitude to verify, master and develop in practice. "According to the picture.

Nowadays, people use the idiom "riding a horse" to describe mechanical and rigid, and also to describe looking for clues.

The latter usage is not derogatory.

[Original]

Bole's "Xiang" has the saying that "the days are long and the hoofs are like tired songs". His son owns the classic horse race.

In order to get a horse, I went out to see the big toad and said to his father, "Get a horse, just like it, but its hooves are not as good as music!" " "

Bole knew his son's stupidity, but turned his anger into a smile and said, "This horse jumps easily and is unbearable."
