? But you're so old?

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 state affairs, Ying (the capital of Chu, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) is bound to be in danger! ?

King Xiang was very unhappy. He got angry and was scolded. Are you out of your mind? Deliberately say these insidious words to confuse people?

Zhuang Xin answered unhurriedly:? I really feel that 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. Zhuang Xin said sincerely: I have heard that it is not too late to see rabbit teeth and think of hunting dogs; It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away.

This is a very meaningful story. If you only know how to play and don't know how to do things, the result will be a tragic failure.

? Better late than never? This idiom is based on the above two sentences, which means that it is not too late to make amends if something is done wrong. 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 patiently reconsidered the matter, learned a lesson from this mistake and thought? Better late than never? It is not too late to start from scratch!

Inspirational Idioms and Stories (4) According to ancient Indian Buddhist scriptures, there was a small country in ancient India, and its king was called King of Mirrors. He believes in Sakyamuni's Buddhism and worships Buddha and recites scriptures every day. He is very religious. However, there were many religions and witchcraft in China at that time, and most subjects were confused by their preaching, which was not conducive to the governance of the country.

King Jing ordered his officials to say, Find some blind people to come to the city. ? The messenger quickly gathered a group of blind people and took them to the palace.

Tomorrow morning, you will lead the blind to the elephant garden, so that each of them can only touch a part of the elephant's body, and then immediately take them to the square in front of the palace. ?

The next morning, King Jing called all the ministers and tens of thousands of civilians to gather in the square in front of the palace. People are whispering, and no one knows what important things the king is going to announce.

The story of inspirational idioms (5) is passed down from rabbit to rabbit. In the Warring States Period, in the Song Dynasty, there was a farmer who worked at sunrise every day and rested at sunset. In good years, just eat and wear warm clothes; In case of famine, you will starve to death. He wants to improve his life, but he is too lazy and timid. He is lazy, afraid of everything and always wants to meet the unexpected wealth delivered to his door.

The miracle finally happened. One day in late autumn, he was plowing in the field and there were people hunting around him. The sound of shouting came one after another everywhere, and the frightened little beast ran desperately. Suddenly, a rabbit, impartial, bumped into his field root.

On the same day, he had a delicious meal.

After that, he stopped farming. All day, looking at the magical roots, waiting for the miracle to appear.

Interpret idioms? Wait for him? This is a metaphor for getting something for nothing, or sticking to a narrow experience and not knowing how to change it.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer in the Song Dynasty. He thought that the seedlings in his field were growing too slowly, so he was worried all day. One day, he went down to the field with a hoe. He felt that the rice seedlings didn't seem to grow up at all, so he thought hard about how to make the rice grow taller.

Suddenly, he had a brainwave. Without hesitation, he rolled up his trouser legs and jumped into the rice field, and began to pull up the seedlings. In the evening, the farmer finally finished what he thought was a clever masterpiece and ran home triumphantly, eager to tell his wife. Tell you a magical thing, I thought of a good idea today, which made the seedlings in our field grow a lot taller. ? The farmer's wife was dubious and asked her son to go to the field to see what was going on. My son heard that the rice at home had grown taller and flew to the field excitedly to see it. At this time, he found that although the rice seedlings were tall, they hung down tree by tree and were about to wither.

Reading this story tells us that we should never learn from the peasants of the Song Dynasty. Everything has its order. If you just want to finish it early, you will destroy its order. In the end, we won't finish ahead of time, but we will accomplish nothing.

Stories of Inspirational Idioms (7) Stories of buying bamboo slips and returning pearls A Chu man had a beautiful pearl, and he was going to sell it. In order to get a good price, he tried to package the pearls. He thinks that with the noble packaging, where are the pearls? Identity? It will naturally rise.

The Chu people discovered the valuable Mulan, and invited skilled craftsmen to make a box (that is, a bamboo raft) for the pearl, and smoked the box with cinnamon spice. Then, on the outside of the box, many beautiful patterns were carved and inlaid with beautiful metal lace. It looks shiny. It's really a delicate and beautiful handicraft.

In this way, the Chu people carefully put pearls into boxes and took them to the market to sell.

Soon after arriving at the market, many people gathered around to admire the Chu people's boxes. A Zheng people hold the box in their hands and can't put it down for a long time. Finally, he paid a high price for the Chu people's box. Zheng paid the money and came back with a box. But he came back after a few steps. The Chu people thought that Zheng people regretted returning the goods. Before the Chu people could finish thinking, Zheng people had come to the Chu people. I saw Zheng people take out pearls from the open box and give them to the Chu people. Sir, you left a pearl in the box, and I came back to return it to you. ? So Zheng gave the pearl to the Chu people, then looked down at the wooden box and went back.

The Chu people stood there awkwardly with the returned pearls. He thought others would appreciate his pearls, but the exquisite outer packaging exceeded the value in the box, so that? Disturb the host and guest? It makes people laugh and cry.

Interpretation of Zheng people only pays attention to appearance and ignores essence, which makes him make an improper choice of giving up the root and seeking the end; What about Truman's? Overpackaging? It's a little ridiculous, too.

According to Han Feizi, Qi Xuanwang likes to listen to boasting and is good at ostentation and extravagance. 300 people whistled for him. He often asks these 300 people to play for him. There is a South China gentleman who can't play the flute at all. Seeing this opportunity, he went to Qi Xuanwang and asked to join the flute team. Qi Xuanwang put him on the blowing team and paid him a high salary. Teacher Nan Guo, who doesn't know how to play the flute at all, is always in the queue, posing with a flute. The day passed by, and I was never found.

After Qi Xuanwang's death, King Qi Min succeeded to the throne. Unlike Qi Xuanwang, he doesn't like to listen to everyone playing the flute together, but likes to let the flute players play for him one by one. When Mr. Nan Guo heard the news, he had to be defeated and flee, and he dared not pretend to be a braggart.

Western proverbs explain that you can deceive some people at some time, but you can't deceive all people. Mr. Nan Guo Can can't snitch, but he pretends that he will, and eventually he will show the cloven foot.

This story also shows that Mr. Nan Guo is not good at using good study conditions. In Qi Xuanwang's 300-player team, I get along well with 299 other musicians and have rich learning resources. But he didn't realize it. He is content to make up for what he has done, deceiving himself and others, and can only muddle through.

Inspirational Idiom Story (9) Sun Yang, a native of Qin in the Spring and Autumn Period, is said to be the most famous horse expert in ancient China. He can tell a horse at a glance. Because it is said that Bole is the god in charge of horses in the sky, people call Sun Yang Bole.

It is said that Bole compiled his rich horse knowledge and experience into a book "Xiangma Jing". In the book, he wrote down various characteristics of a swift horse and drew many illustrations for people to understand horses.

Bole has a son with poor intelligence. He has read his father's Sweet Horse Sutra, and he really wants to go out and find a swift horse. He saw in "Xiangma Jing":? Maxima's main features are high forehead, big eyes, and hooves like pieces of wine yeast piled up? Then take the book and go out to try your eyesight.

Not far away, he saw a big toad, caught it and told his father: I found a good horse, which is similar to the "Sweet Horse Sutra" in your book, except that the hoof is not like a folded bar of wine! ?

Bole looked at the big toad in his son's hand and couldn't help but be funny and angry. He said humorously: this? Horses love to jump and can't ride! ?

The idiom "origin" comes from "cutting mountains with forests" in Bo Le's Xiang Ma Jing? Singing, hooves like a tired song? Language, his son holds the "Horse Sutra" for the horse. When you meet a big toad, you call it your father: get a horse, slightly the same, but the hoof is not as good as Lecker. ?

Seeking a good horse according to the image is a metaphor for sticking to dogma and sticking to the rules. What I mean now is to follow the clue. Seeking is seeking, riding a good horse.

Inspirational idiom story (10) Legend has it that two thousand years ago, there was a young man guarding the mausoleum in Yan State. If you don't know his last name, just call him Shouling Youth!

This young Shouling has no worries about food and clothing. He is a medium-sized talent in appearance, but he lacks self-confidence and often feels inferior for no reason? Clothes are good for people, food is fragrant for people, and standing and sitting is elegant for people. He learns what he sees and loses what he learns. Although he has a new look, he still can't do one thing well. He doesn't know what he should look like.

His family advised him to change this problem, which he thought was because his family cared too much.

Relatives and neighbors said he was a bear breaking a stick, but he didn't listen at all. Over time, he doubted whether he should walk like this, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that his walking posture was too stupid and ugly.

One day, he met several people talking and laughing on the road, only to hear someone say that the walking posture of Handan people is beautiful. As soon as he heard this, he had a heart attack and hurried forward to find out. Unexpectedly, the men saw him and walked away with a smile.

How beautiful is the walking posture of Handan people? He can't imagine. This has become his heart disease. Finally, one day, he went to Handan, a distant place, to learn to walk without telling his family.

When I arrived in Handan, I felt fresh and dazzling everywhere. Seeing children walking, he feels lively, beautiful and academic; Seeing the old man walking, he felt steady and learned; Watch women walk, sway and learn.
