What does it mean to listen to others and not to be scolded?

This story comes from the Warring States Policy. During the Warring States Period, there was a minister in the State of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Xiang of Chu: "When you were in the palace, Zhou Hou was on the left and Xiahou was on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time. You and these four people are very particular about luxury and debauchery. Regardless of national events, Ying (Chu capital, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) will be in danger! "

Wang Xiang was very dissatisfied and scolded angrily, "Are you crazy? Deliberately saying these insidious words to confuse people? "

Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly: "I really think things must come to this, and I dare not deliberately say that Chu has any misfortune." If you always cherish this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to hide in Zhao and see what will happen. "

Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao Guocai for five months, and the State of Qin invaded Chu, and Wang Xiang was forced into exile in Yangcheng (now northwest of Xixian County, Henan Province). Only then did I feel that Zhuang Xin's words were good, so I quickly sent someone to get Zhuang Xin back and asked him what he could do. ZhuangXin very sincerely say:

"I heard that it's not too late to see rabbit teeth and think of hounds; It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away. ……"

This is a very meaningful story. You only know how to have fun, not how to do things. The result must be a tragic failure.

The idiom "Better late than never" is based on the above two sentences, which means that if something goes wrong, it's not too late to fix it. For example, a successful person misjudges the development of things, travels light and falls into a state of failure. But he was not discouraged. He thought things over patiently, learned a lesson from this mistake, and thought that it was not too late to "mend after it is late" from scratch!

Two vegetarian meals for cadavers

The history of corpse sound is that a person sat and watched on behalf of an idol in ancient ceremonies without any action.

There is a saying in the Book of Songs: "Taikang corpse". This is the origin of the vegetarian meal in the corpse's position, which is used to describe a person who has a position but has no job, just like a corpse in a sacrificial ceremony, just sitting in the position without doing any action.

Vegetarian food also comes from the Book of Songs: "He is a gentleman, but he is not a vegetarian." Later generations then used "vegetarian meal" as a metaphor for people who have no job to eat. The combination of "vegetarian meal in a corpse" into an idiom should be said to come from Han Shu, because there is such a package in Zhu Yunzhuan in the book: "Today's court ministers, although unable to judge the Lord, all died for the benefit of the people." The meaning of the whole idiom is the same as that mentioned above. In this way, it is necessary to study the origin of idioms and learn more about the origin of this idiom.

Redundant staff in general organs, societies and shops, relying on personnel or other special relations, only know that they get paid on time every month, eat, drink and do nothing every day. Such a person can be said to be a vegetarian meal. In addition, although people with poor working ability do their best to serve, they always fail to do things well and have no accumulation. Such people do not rely on their own skills, but rely on special relationships to keep their jobs, so they can also be said to be "vegetarians." For another example, someone told a friend that he had no skills at all, but thanks to the care of his boss, he had been able to solve his life, but he was a vegetarian and his conscience was a little guilty. So to speak, it has become a very decent modesty.

3 Tianya Haijiao

Han Yu, the word "Hui", was a great scholar in the middle Tang Dynasty.

His father died when he was two years old, and his mother died soon after. When he was a child, he relied on his brother and his sister-in-law Zheng. Han Hui has an heir (younger brother, stepson and eldest brother's son) named Lao Cheng, ranking 12, so he is nicknamed Shierlang, and Han Yu is even younger. Later, when Han Hui was forty-two, he was demoted as the secretariat of Shaozhou by Yuan Zai, the prime minister, and died in Shaozhou within a few months. At this time, Han Yu was only eleven years old and Shi Lang was still very young. Although Han Yu had three brothers (Hui, Yang and Jie), they all died very early. At this time, only Han Yu and his nephew Shi Erlang inherited their ancestors and descendants, and they were lonely and inseparable.

Han Yu 19 years old went to Beijing from Yicheng, and only saw Shiro three times in the next ten years. When he was planning to return to the west and live with Shiro forever, unfortunately Shiro died at this time. Han Yu was heartbroken when he learned the news. He wrote a song "Ode to Twelve Lang" and asked Jianzhong to prepare some current affairs articles to pay tribute to him from a distance. This eulogy, a word and a tear, makes people sad to read.

In the eulogy, there are "one on the edge of the sky and one in the corner of the ground." Later generations extended it to "the ends of the earth", which is a metaphor for extremely distant places.

Idiom story-a wise man who helps his wife

Yan Ying was the prime minister of Qi Jinggong during the Warring States Period, and his figure was not very tall. According to the cloud, he is less than six feet long (equivalent to four feet three inches now), but he is very talented and famous as a vassal. One day, Yan Ying went out to see the car and was driven away by his charioteer (coachman). The charioteer's wife is very virtuous When the charioteer drove by his door, his wife peeked through the door and saw her husband waving a whip, showing a proud look.

When her husband came home that evening, she scolded him: "Yan Ying was less than six feet long, and he became the prime minister of Qi, which is famous all over the world. The rulers of all countries know him and admire him. I think his attitude is still very modest, and he doesn't feel complacent at all; You are eight feet long, and your appearance is much more magnificent than his. You are only his driver, and you are proud of yourself, so you will not get development, and you can only do some humble work. I'm so sorry for you! "

After listening to his wife's words, the charioteer's attitude gradually changed, and he seemed modest and kind everywhere. Yan Ying was surprised to see the charioteer suddenly grovel, and asked him why. The coachman honestly told Yan Ying what his wife had said. Yan Ying is a person worthy of promotion, because he can turn over a new leaf immediately after hearing advice, so he is recommended as a doctor.

From the story of the sage supporting his wife, later generations extended praise to others for their virtuous wives. Nowadays, most people think that a wife can help her husband, which has made progress in his career, studies and personality and increased his position in society. It is said that he has a virtuous wife.

4 fire tree silver flower

Zong Rui was one of the most pleasant emperors in the Tang Dynasty. Although he has only been emperor for three years, no matter what festivals, he always uses a lot of material and human resources to give a big banquet for his play. Every year on the night of the Lantern Festival in the first month, he sets up a 20-foot-high lamp tree and lights up more than 50,000 lamps to make it a fire tree. Later, the poet Su Weidao wrote a poem to describe it. His Yuan Xi poem says: "The fire tree is closed with silver flowers, the star bridge is locked, the dark dust goes with the horse, and the bright moon comes." Prostitutes are in season, and plum blossoms fall. Jin Wu can't help staying overnight. "This poem describes the lively scene at that time unabashedly, as if it were active in front of our readers.

This idiom is used to describe a place that is brightly lit and looks like a fire tree and silver flowers. So now all the bustling cities, or big cities with bright lights at night, are described by this sentence.

5. returned pearls

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a merchant specializing in jewelry in the State of Chu. On one occasion, he went to Qi State to sell jewelry. For the sake of good business and best-selling jewelry, he specially made many small boxes with precious wood, carved and decorated the boxes beautifully, so that the boxes gave off a fragrance, and then put the jewelry in the boxes.

A man from Zheng saw that the box containing the orb was exquisite and beautiful. After asking the price, he bought one, opened the box, took out the treasure inside and gave it back to the jeweler.

Idiom story-nothing ventured, nothing gained.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao fought Dou Gu, an official and a captain, and made great contributions to the Xiongnu. Later, it was sent to the western regions (now the whole province of Xinjiang, the border of Gansu and a part of Central Asia west of Congling). He went to Zheng first. The king knew that Ban Chao was a man and respected him very much, but every once in a while, he was suddenly left out in the cold. Ban Chao gathered 36 people and said, "Zheng has been very cold to us recently. The Huns in the north must have sent someone to woo him and make him hesitate to obey. Smart people should find out before things sprout, not to mention that things are already obvious now. "

When asked, it really is. So Ban Chao made an appointment with everyone: "We are in a very dangerous situation. The Xiongnu emissary has only been here for a few days, and King Zhengshan is so cold to us. If we wait a little longer. King Zheng Shan may tie us up and hand us over to the Huns. What do you think we should do? " At that time, everyone firmly expressed their willingness to listen to his thoughts. He continued, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The only way now is to attack the Huns tonight and kill them quickly. Only in this way will King Zheng Shan sincerely submit to the Han Dynasty. "

That night, Ban Chao and his thirty-six companions rushed into the residence of the Huns, and fought to the death, defeating most of the Huns with a small number of manpower, achieving the expected goal.

According to this story, later generations derived the phrase "nothing ventured, nothing gained" to show that people can't achieve their goals unless they make up their minds, experience obstacles and work hard. For example, in order to study the possibility of using glacier water to irrigate farmland, several scientists are going to make field trips and conduct experiments on icebergs. This is a dangerous and hard work, but they think that no real results can be achieved without on-the-spot investigation and study. This situation can be said to be: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

6 ordinary

There was an outstanding poet and writer named Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty. After winning the Jinshi, he worked as a supervisor in Beijing. Because of his bohemian personality, he was excluded from Beijing and demoted to Suzhou secretariat. In Suzhou, there was a local official named Li Shen, who used to be an ordinary official. Because I admired Liu Yuxi's fame, I invited him to drink and invited several prostitutes to accompany him to the table. During the drinking, Liu Yuxi was so excited about poetry that he wrote such a poem: "The new atmosphere of Gao Ji Yun 'an ■, the song of Du Weiniang in the spring breeze, is mediocre and meddlesome, breaking the secretariat of Suzhou." The idiom "commonplace" comes from Liu Yuxi's poems. The word sikong used in this poem is the name of an official position in the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the history of the Qing Dynasty. Judging from Liu Yuxi's poems, the whole idiom means that Li is used to this kind of thing and is not surprised.

7 use it

Mi Youren (Zi Hui), the son of Mi Fei, a great calligrapher and painter in the Song Dynasty, has a family background and is as good at writing and painting as his father. I especially like the works of the ancients. Once, he saw the original work of Wang Xizhi on someone else's boat and immediately wanted to change his life. The shopkeeper disagreed. He let out a cry in a hurry, climbed onto the side of the boat and jumped into the water. Fortunately, others quickly hugged him to avoid falling into the water. He has a great prize, that is, learning to copy the paintings of the ancients. When he was in Lianshui, he used a picture of a "pine cow" to describe it. Later, he left the original and returned it to someone who didn't realize it at that time. Take it and go. It was not until many days later that I asked for the original. Mi Youren asked him how to tell the difference, and the man replied: "There is a shadow of a shepherd boy in the eyes of a real book; And this one you gave me didn't. " But Mi Youren imitated the paintings of the ancients, and few people found that his model was fake. He often tries his best to borrow ancient paintings to describe it; After copying, I always send samples and originals to the shopkeeper for him to choose. Because of his ability to copy ancient paintings, he made the model exactly the same as the real one, and the owner often took the model back seriously, so Mi Youren got a lot of valuable real ancient paintings.

Mi Youren is a talented artist who deserves people's admiration. He is also a lover and admirer of ancient paintings, which makes people know more about the beauty and value of ancient paintings. But it is contemptible and contemptible for him to skillfully replace the fake copy of imitation with the real copy of others. Therefore, some people call his clever way of defrauding others of authentic ancient paintings "stealing", which was later extended to this idiom to describe people grabbing their undeserved property by improper clever methods. "strategizing", cheating also; "rob", rob payment. Rob property in this way, often get a lot of benefits, so there is a saying that "stealing and robbing skillfully" ("Clear Wave"), for example. The magic stick under the guise of sacred objects often uses various excuses to defraud ignorant people of their property under the pretext of doing some Buddhist things. Snatching private ownership means "grabbing by surprise".

Bachu is around.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to take the east and west of the gorge (in present-day Rongxian County, Jia Luhe) as the boundary, and they did not invade each other. Later, on the advice of Sean and Chen Ping, Liu Bang thought that Xiang Yu should be destroyed while he was weak. Han Xin, Peng Yue and Liu Jia marched eastward and took Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu).

Xiang Yu leads troops. Finally, several layers of troops were arranged to tightly surround Xiang Yu (in the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province). At this time, Xiang Yu's soldiers were few and there was no food. At night, I was very surprised to hear the troops around him singing the songs of the Chu people. I said, "Is Liu Bang banned?

Why are there so many Chu people in his army? "Say, the in the mind has lost the fight, then get out of bed to drink in the camp; Sing with his favorite concubine Yu Ji. After singing, I cried, and everyone around me was very sad, and they all felt that they could not lift their heads. After a while, Xiang Yu got on his horse and escaped from the south with only 800 cavalry. Run away and fight, commit suicide by Wujiang River.

Because there is a story in this story that Xiang Yu was surprised to hear someone singing praises to Chu, and then failed to commit suicide, people later used the phrase "besieged from all sides" to describe the personnel environment where people were attacked or persecuted from all directions, resulting in isolation and embarrassment.

Anyone caught in this situation often has a tragic fate. For example, some people are idle because they often associate with bad people. But later, the bad guys forced him to make a living. When he asks for help from others, others should treat him as a bad person on weekdays, and never sympathize with him or ignore him. This person's situation is "surrounded". Another example is discussing academic issues in schools, where students have no knowledge.

When a student makes irresponsible remarks and turns right and wrong upside down, he will be attacked, and the student will be completely isolated, which can also be called "surrounded". In the process of our life, in our daily life, we should be a good person and do things in a down-to-earth manner. If you make a mistake, you will suffer from "being besieged on all sides".

9 is a blockbuster.

During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Chunyu Kun in the State of Qi. He is eloquent and good at conversation. He often used some interesting code words to convince the monarch that he was not only angry, but also willing to accept it.

At that time, the King of Qi was originally a very wise monarch. But after he acceded to the throne, he was addicted to wine and color. He doesn't care about state affairs, he only knows how to drink and have fun every day, leaving all the proper business to the minister, but he doesn't care. So if we don't get on the track, officials will be corrupt and dereliction of duty, and the princes of various countries will take the opportunity to invade, which will make Qi on the verge of extinction.

Although some patriots in Qi were worried, they were all afraid of the King of Qi, so no one rushed out to remonstrate.

In fact, Qi Weiwang is a very clever man. He likes to say some argot to show his wisdom. Although he doesn't like to listen to other people's advice, he will accept it if it is good. After Chunyu Kun knew it, he thought of a way to find a chance to give Qi Weiwang advice.

One day, Chunyu Kun met him and said, "Your Majesty, I have a riddle for Chen to guess. I want you to guess: its state-owned juicy bird lived in your majesty's court for three years, but it didn't flap its wings or name it, but it just curled up aimlessly. Guess, your majesty, what kind of bird is this? "

Qi Weiwang is a clever man, and he knows that Chunyu Kun is satirizing himself. Like a big bird, he is the king of a country, but he does nothing but enjoy himself. And he is no longer a fatuous king, so Shen Yinyi decided to turn over a new leaf after a period of time, cheer up and do something vigorous, so he said to Chunyu Kun:

"Well, you don't know this big bird. If you don't fly, you will fly to the sky. If it doesn't sing, it will disturb everyone. You wait and see! "

From then on, Qi Weiwang stopped drinking and began to rectify the country. First of all, he called officials from all over the country to reward those who are loyal and responsible; And those who are incompetent will be punished. As a result, the whole country soon cheered and was full of vitality everywhere.

On the other hand, he also set out to rectify the army and use strong force to establish the prestige of the country. After hearing the news, the rulers of all countries were shocked. Not only did they dare not invade again, but they even returned all the land they had occupied to Qi.

What Qi Weiwang did was really a "blockbuster"!

Therefore, people later used the idiom "blockbuster" to describe that if a person has extraordinary talents, as long as he can make good use of them, once he exerts them, he will often have amazing achievements.

10 fell into the hands of Sun Shan.

During the Song Dynasty in China, there was a talented scholar named Sun Shan. He is not only humorous, but also good at telling jokes, so people nearby give him a "funny wit".

Once, he and the son of a fellow villager went to Beijing to take a juren exam.

When the list was published, Sun Shan's name was listed at the bottom of the list, but on the list, the son of the fellow villagers who went with him was not admitted.

Soon, Sun Shanxian returned home, and fellow villagers came to ask if his son had been admitted. Moriyama was embarrassed to say it directly, and it was not convenient to hide it, so he casually read out two poems that were not poetic:

"Xie Yuan is in Sun Shan and Xianlang is outside Sun Shan."

Xie Yuan is the first in China's imperial examination system. The so-called "partnership" in Sun Shan's poems refers to a general who has passed the examination. The whole meaning of his poem is:

"The last name on the list is my Sun Shan, but your son's name is still behind my Sun Shan."

From then on, according to this story, people called it "falling out of Sun Shan" to enter a school or take various exams, but they were not admitted.

1 1 alarmist

Once upon a time in the state of Qi, there was a man who was timid and a little neurotic. He often thinks of some strange questions, which makes people feel confused.

One day after dinner, he sat at the door with a big cattail leaf fan and assessed his future, saying to himself:

"If one day, the sky falls, what should I do? Isn't it wrong that we have no way out and will be crushed to death alive? "

Since then, he has been worried about this problem almost every day. His friends saw him in a trance and skinny all day, and they were all worried about him. However, when everyone knew the reason, they all came to persuade him to say:

"Dude! Why bother yourself about it? How can the sky fall? I mean, even if it does collapse, you can't solve it by yourself. Everybody relax! "

However, no matter what others say, he doesn't believe it, and he will always worry about this unnecessary problem.

According to the above story, people later extended this idiom to "worrying about the sky." Its main significance is to wake people up from worrying about some unrealistic things. It has roughly the same meaning as "much ado about nothing"

12 month old man

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Wei Gu. Once, he traveled to Song Cheng and stayed in Nandian.

One night, Wei Gu was wandering in the street and saw an old man sitting on the floor in the moonlight, turning over a big, thick book, while his body was woven with a big cloth bag full of red ropes.

Wei Gu was curious and asked him, "Uncle, what are you reading?"

The old man replied, "This is a book that records the marriage between men and women in the world."

Hearing this, Wei Gu became more curious and then asked, "What's the red rope in your bag for?"

The old man smiled and said to Wei Gu, "These red ropes are used to tie husband and wife's feet. Whether men and women live far apart or far apart, as long as I tie these red ropes to their feet, they will make up and form a husband and wife. "

Hearing this, Wei Gu naturally didn't believe it, thinking that the old man was joking with him, but he was still full of curiosity about this strange old man. When he wanted to ask him some questions, the old man stood up, picked up his books and schoolbags, walked to Amy and followed him.

When they arrived in Rice, they saw a blind woman and a little girl about three years old coming face to face. The old man said to Wei Gu, "The little girl in the blind girl's hand is still your future wife."

Wei Gu was very angry when he heard this. He thought the old man was joking with him, so he asked Ganu to kill the little girl to see if he would become his wife in the future.

The domestic slave ran forward, stabbed the girl and ran away at once. When Wei Gu tried to get back at the old man, he was gone.

Time flies. Fourteen years have passed in an instant. At this time, Wei Guyi found a satisfactory object and was about to get married. The other party is the apple of Wang Tai, the secretariat of Xiangzhou. He is beautiful, but he has no scars. Wei Gu felt very strange, so he asked his father-in-law, "Why is there a scar on his eyebrows?"

After hearing this, Xiangzhou secretariat said, "It's irritating. Fourteen years ago, in Song Cheng, one day, nanny Chen walked past the meal with him in her arms. A fanatic stabbed her for no reason. Fortunately, her life was not in danger, leaving only this scar. What a great misfortune! "

Wei Gu listen, paused. The past 14 years ago quickly came to his mind. He thought, is he the little girl who ordered the servant to assassinate him? So he asked nervously, "Is that nanny blind?"

Wang Tai was very interested in seeing his son-in-law, so he asked him strangely, so he asked him, "Yes, she is blind, but how do you know?"

Wei Gu confirmed all these times, and he was really surprised. For a moment, he couldn't answer. It took a long time to calm down, and then he told the whole story of meeting the old man under the moon in Song Cheng fourteen years ago.

Wang Tai was also surprised.

Wei Gu realized that what the old man said under the moon was not a joke. Their marriage was really decided by God.

Therefore, the couple cherish this marriage more and live a loving life.

It soon spread to Song Cheng, where the locals changed Nandian into an "engagement shop" to commemorate the appearance of the elderly under the moon.

Because of the spread of this story, everyone believes that the marriage between men and women is tied by the old man under the moon with a red rope, so later generations call the matchmaker "the old man under the moon" or "the old man under the moon" for short.

13 A meal is a golden girl.

Han Xin, the great general who helped Emperor Gaozu paint the world, was in a very difficult situation without success. At that time, he often fished at the gate, hoping to solve his life with good luck. However, this is not a reliable way after all, and we should always be hungry. Fortunately, where he often fishes, there are many floating mothers (old women who clean silk floss or old clothes and old fabrics) working by the river. One of them sympathized with what happened to Han Xin and kept giving him relief and food. Han Xin thanked the hard-working floating mother for her kindness and told her that she would be rewarded in the future. Floating mother was very unhappy at Han Xin's words, saying that she would not be repaid by Han Xin in the future.

Later, Han Xin made great contributions to Hanwang and was named King Chu. He remembered that he had been loved by his wandering mother before, so he ordered someone to bring her food and a table, and even gave her 1200 gold as a thank you.

This idiom comes from this story. It means:

Don't forget that even a little help is valuable in difficult times, although it is very small; When we have the ability, it is natural to reward those who do human feelings.

When we use this idiom, we must clearly understand its meaning. First of all, a sincere and helpful person will never want anything in return. Second, the relief of the rich is a kind of donation, and even if it is really returned to him one day, it cannot be called "a meal of gold"; Third, the most valuable thing is to help others out of love and sympathy when you are in a very difficult situation. In the eyes of others, such help is really worth a meal.

14 is a good word.

At the end of the Warring States Period, there was a big businessman named Lv Buwei in the State of Qin. When he was doing business in Zhao, he helped King Zhuang of Qin (who worked as a proton in Zhao at that time) to betroth his concubine to his wife. After Zi Chu acceded to the throne, he was named Wen Xin Hou and lived in the Prime Minister's Office. King Zhuang Xiang died of illness after only three years in office. His 13-year-old son Zheng (born to Zhao Ji) succeeded to the throne, the famous Qin Shihuang in history, who was honored as Guanzhong, and all administrative power was in his hands.

At that time, it was very popular to train scholars, the famous four sons of the Warring States and thousands of public servants. Lv Buwei also has 3,000 civil servants as his think tank, and has come up with various ways to consolidate his work. These men and women have everything, and everyone has their own views and experiences; Write all this down. Together, it became a masterpiece of more than 200,000 words and was nominated as Lv Chunqiu. Lv Buwei thinks this book is a classic of Qin's unification of the world. At that time, Lu announced a book in Xianyang, Qin Dou, saying that anyone who could add or subtract a word in the book would be rewarded with 1000 yuan (a catty of gold).

For this record, see Historical Records: Biography of Lv Buwei. Later people derived the idiom "in a word" from this story to describe the high value of an article, or to praise the excellent rhetoric and rare words used in an article. For example, we read a famous scholar's new work, and he proposed a new teaching method, which can not only improve students' academic level and quality, but also increase teachers' own further study accordingly. For such a valuable article, it can be said that "a word is gold". In modern society, everything has become a commodity, and articles are not included, so we say that the high price of an article by a writer is equivalent to "a word is gold". However, we usually use it to describe the value or rhetorical beauty of an article.

15 is worthless

Guanfusheng was born in the Western Han Dynasty. He is frank and trustworthy, and he keeps his word. He often insults officials with higher status than him, but the poorer he is, the more he respects those with lower status. So at that time, many talented people with no status liked to get close to him.

Guan Fu likes drinking. He often loses his temper because he is drunk. One day, Prime Minister Tian Fen got married and he drank a lot. After a while, he went to Tian fen to propose a toast. Tian fen said, "I can't drink a full cup." Seeing that he refused to have a good drink, the irrigator sarcastically said, "Although you are a noble person, finish my toast." Jennifer Tian still didn't drink. After the boring discussion, Guanfu went to propose a toast at Hou Guanxian's house in Linru. At this time, Guan Xian was talking into Chengwu's ear (a former border guard, later changed to a doctor of large and medium size) and did not welcome him.

Guan Fu was angry at first, but when he saw this situation, he couldn't stand it any longer. He immediately scolded Guan Xian and said, "I always said that Cheng didn't know it was worth a penny. Today, you bit your ear like a woman! ……"

From then on, people have a contempt for others. To say that this person has no strengths or nothing, he is said to be "worthless" or "worthless", which means worthless.

For example, those who are arrogant and rude to their own people but grovel to outsiders, or those things that look good but are actually useless, we can call them "worthless."

16 Close the call

Han Yu, a native of Nanyang, Dengzhou, Tang Dynasty, was a great writer at that time. He advocated that prose should be Tao-based, retro as revolution, and prose should replace parallel prose, which had great influence on that time and later generations. Therefore, he was very opposed to Buddhism, and Tang Xianzong sent messengers to welcome Buddhist bones into North Korea. He went to the table to remonstrate, offended the emperor, and was banished to Chaozhou to make a secretariat.

His friend Meng Jiao (Dao), a history book at that time, believed in Buddhism the most. Also in order to offend Tang Xianzong, was banished to Jizhou. When I arrived in Jizhou, I also heard that Han Yu once believed in Buddhism. He is a little confused because he knows that Han Yu is the strongest person who opposes faith. Therefore, he wrote a letter to ask Han Yu.

After receiving Meng's letter, Han Yu knew that his association with the monk had caused others' misunderstanding and immediately wrote back to Meng to explain. Moreover, Han Yu criticized a group of ministers in Korea at that time, who believed in Buddhism, disobeyed Confucianism and Taoism, and blindly believed in confusing the emperor. He was indignant at the emperor's alienation from sages, which led to the degeneration of Confucianism and Taoism. There is a saying in the letter: "It is riddled with holes, and it will be lost with chaos, and the danger of * * * is as close as a thousand ..."

This is a metaphor for something, which is extremely dangerous, just like a heavy one tied to a hair. Nowadays, most people often use this sentence to describe the most dangerous thing they have encountered.

This idiom is found in a letter written by Han Yu to Meng Shangshu. It says, "* * * The danger is like a close call, and it continues to extend, and the depression is slightly extinguished." Sentence.

Enter my net

Ji, the phonetic structure, originally meant as a bow, is borrowed here to mean cage, trap and fall, and "into my net" means entering my circle. For example, a sparrow catcher lures sparrows by putting rice stalks into a net. When the sparrow flew down to peck at the rice stalk, the man pulled up the net and caught the sparrow, saying that the sparrow was "in my net". Another example is that a person wants to win over someone. Use various means to make someone like him and praise him, until someone is dead set on using him, he can say: someone has "fallen into my trap"! ,
