Today I will tell you a story. The name of the story is "Carving a Boat to Seek a Sword" A long time ago, there was a man from Chu who had studied for two years and practiced martial arts for two years, so he always thought he was very smart until one day he heard about it. There was a man in another place who was very powerful, so he wanted to go there to compete with others. Because there was no carriage at that time, he had to go by boat. There were many people on the boat and it was very lively after a while. >

The boat reached the center of the river. At this moment, he accidentally dropped a sword he was carrying into the river. When the boatman and others saw it, they pointed at the sword that had fallen into the water. Said: "Your sword fell into the water, jump in and pick it up quickly!" "However, this Chu man didn't seem to care. He calmly asked the people around him: "Everyone here, is there anyone with a knife? "A pocket knife?" have! "One of them said and handed the knife to the Chu man. "But what's the use of having a knife? "The man asked doubtfully. "I have my own uses! "As he spoke, he carved a mark on the side of the ship. Then he slowly comforted everyone and said, "Please don't be anxious. "Everyone looked at the mark carved by the knife with confusion. They also urged him from time to time: "What are you waiting for? Go into the water and get the sword! "The Chu people looked at the rippling river water and said confidently: "Why are you panic? I have marked it! The boat continued to sail forward, and everyone urged him: "If you don't jump off to find the sword, the boat will go further and further, and you may not be able to find it again." The Chu people still said confidently: "Don't worry, don't worry, the mark is engraved there!" "

When the boat docked, the Chu man followed the marked place and jumped into the river to find his sword. He dived into the water repeatedly, but every time he came out of the water , both hands were empty. He thought he had not aligned the mark. After careful checking, he dived into the river again, but it was still in vain and he had no choice but to go ashore.

As soon as he landed, he saw everyone leaning forward and laughing! "Hahaha! Hahaha!" The man said with a smile, "You! You just don't know how to be flexible, think about it! The sword has already sunk from the beginning when it fell, and you marked the number It's useless, because the sword won't move with the mark, so isn't it useless?"

How about that! Do you have any inspiration after reading this story? What this story wants to tell us is - we can't do things in a static way, we must learn to be flexible! Fable 7 of Carving a Boat and Seeking a Sword

During the Warring States Period, there was a man from Chu who wanted to cross the river by boat with his family heirloom - a shining golden sword.

You ask me why this Chu man carries a sword with him? Actually, I don’t know, maybe I just like to show off!

After getting on the boat, maybe the shining golden sword was too eye-catching. Some people like the Chu man cast envious glances, while others began to murmur beside him.

After a while, everyone on the boat asked the Chu man to show his hands. They saw the Chu man picking up the sword in his hand and playing more and more energetically. At this moment, a strong wind blew, and the sword in the Chu people's hands accidentally fell into the river.

Everyone hurriedly advised the Chu people: "Why are you still standing there? Go out and fish!" The Chu people calmly carved a mark on the boat and said: " The sword fell from this place. When the ship docks, I will definitely be able to catch the sword by jumping from this place." Seeing this, the others stopped trying to persuade him and began to say that this Chu man was too stupid. Too stupid to know how to adapt. After reaching the shore, everyone except this Chu man came ashore. He was the only one still looking for the mark, ready to jump down to find the sword.

Soon after, the Chu man found the engraved mark and jumped down. He was thinking, you people are fools. If I mark it, I can fish it out. When I bring it up, you will have nothing to say. There were several people on the shore waiting to see this man's joke. At the bottom of the river, the Chu people searched for a long time and found nothing. They thought: What is going on? Could it have been stolen? It's over now. The ancestral sword is like this. What will we do if it's gone?

Excuse me, do you all know where the sword fell? Fable of Carving a Boat and Seeking a Sword 8

On the rolling river, there was a small boat parked on the shore. In the cabin sat an old fisherman. He was the owner of the boat. Every day he would fish and ferry on the river. It had been raining every day for the past few days, so he couldn't cast a net for fishing, and no one was crossing the river. He had no choice but to hope that it would be sunny tomorrow.

On that day, it rained and the sky cleared, and the fisherman was about to go fishing. Suddenly he heard someone shouting from the other side: "Boatman! Come over with the boat and send me across the river." I saw a young man who looked like a young man on the other side. A man is standing on the shore. The most conspicuous thing is that this man has a sword on his waist and a waist knife. oops! This sword is so beautiful! The fisherman thought to himself: How could such a treasure come from a poor family? He must be a kid from a rich family. Shake him across the river, I don't know what kind of trouble it will cause. He said, "I have to go fishing, so I don't have time to push you across the river." This made the man very anxious. He shouted: "You can lock me in, can't I give you some more boat money?" The fisherman thought again: It won't take long to send him across the river, just in time to take a closer look at his sword. Thinking of this, the fisherman swung the boat to the other side and shouted: "Hey, here we come!"

Arriving at the shore, the young man got on the boat, and with the wind, he quickly reached the center of the river. . The fisherman said to the man, "What's your surname, sir? Where is your hometown?" When the man answered, a wave hit him. He swayed, and there was only a "gudong" sound, and a string of bubbles appeared on the water. It turned out that his sword fell into the river. But he was not panic at all. The fisherman said to him: "Why don't you go down and look for the sword?" The young master said calmly: "Why are you in a hurry? It's not too late to look for it when the boat reaches the shore!" The fisherman originally thought. Help him find it, and after hearing what he said, I thought to myself: I see you have some clever tricks up your sleeve.

I saw the young master carving a mark on the side of the ship with a waist knife, saying: "The sword was dropped here. You can find it back when the ship docks and get off here."

When we reached the other side, the young man said: "Fisherman, come with me to find the sword, and I will pay you double the wages.

"After saying that, he immediately jumped into the water from the marked place and went to look for the sword.

However, the young man could not find the sword. At this time, the fisherman said to him: " The sword fell in the center of the river. How can you find it when you reach the shore now? "

After saying that, the fisherman went into the water and swam to the center of the river to look for the sword. Sure enough, the sword was found near the center of the river. Fable 9 of the man who carved a boat to find a sword

There was a state of Chu A man was going on a long journey. When he was crossing the river by boat, he accidentally dropped the sword he was carrying into the rapids of the river. Everyone on the boat shouted: "The sword fell into the water!"

The Chu man immediately carved a mark on the side of the ship with a knife, then turned around and said to everyone: "This is the place where my sword fell." "

Everyone looked at the mark carved by the sword in confusion. Someone urged him: "Hurry up and find the sword in the water! "

The Chu people said: "Why are you panic? I have a mark.

The boat continued to move forward, and someone else urged him: "If you don't go down to find the sword, the boat will go further and further away. Be careful not to find it back."

The Chu people still said confidently: "Don't worry, don't worry, the mark is engraved there." "

It wasn't until the boat stopped at the shore that the Chu man went into the water to find the sword along the mark. However, how could he find it? The mark engraved on the boat meant The Chu man's sword was in the same position in the river at the moment it fell into the river. The sword that fell into the river would not move along with the boat, but the boat and the marks on the side of the boat kept moving forward until the boat reached the shore. The mark on the ship's side has long been irrelevant to the position of the sword in the water. Isn't it too confusing for this Chu man to use the above method to find his sword?

He was under the boat on the shore. In the water, we wasted a lot of time, and ended up with nothing, and also attracted everyone's ridicule.

This fable tells us: It is inevitable to look at things that are constantly developing and changing with a static perspective. Make the mistake of subjective idealism that is divorced from reality. Fable 10: A man from Chu State was crossing a river by boat and accidentally dropped his sword into the river. He hurriedly carved it on the edge of the boat. The last mark said: This is where my sword fell.

After the boat docked, the man went into the water to look for the sword along the marks carved on the edge of the boat, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time. .

The boat has gone a long way, but the sword is still in its original place. Isn’t it foolish to use the method of carving a boat to find the sword?

Meaning: Looking at it mechanically? Things that have changed will definitely not behave correctly.

Original text:

There was a man in Chu who was wading into the river. His sword fell from the boat into the water, and it suddenly hit the boat. Said: This is where my sword fell. The boat stopped, and the person who hit it went into the water to find it. The boat was already moving, but the sword was not moving. It would be confusing to ask for the sword like this.

Just as he was thinking, a wave suddenly hit him, the boat shook, and the sword fell off! < /p>

“Oh, this is my family’s heirloom! Now that it’s gone, what can we do? " Chu Ren said anxiously.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, why not mark the place where the sword fell? It will be much easier to find the sword later! He hurriedly took out his knife, carved a mark on the boat with a bang, and said happily: "Haha, this is where my sword fell!" After saying that, he imagined that he would find the sword and then fish it out. When he came up, everyone praised him for being smart...

Soon, the boat stopped. He took off his shirt and jumped into the water with a plop to look for his sword. But there was nothing in the water except clams, aquatic plants, stones and fish, and his sword was nowhere to be found.

After the Chu man came ashore, he burst into tears. The people sitting next to him on the boat suddenly understood and told everyone in detail.

Others advised the man to pick it up quickly, otherwise it would be too late. The man was very calm. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up and he said: "My sword fell from here. I will make a mark here and I will get to the shore immediately and fish it up again. Everyone ignored him." Only an uncle said to him: "Young man, the sword fell here. The sword will not move. You made a mark here. When you get to the shore, you will not find the sword." The man said disdainfully: "You old man, how do you know that I can't find the sword?" The old man shook his head and said, "If you don't listen to the old man's advice, you will suffer a lot." "After saying that, he ignored him and left.
