During the Wanli period, there were rats, rats and cats in the palace, which caused great harm. I searched all over the country for good cats to catch and capture, but they were often eaten.

It is suitable for tribute lion cats from foreign countries. Their fur is as white as snow. He threw himself into the rat's house, closed its door, and peeked inside.

The cat squatted for a long time, and the mouse came out of the hole, and saw the cat running away angrily. The cat avoids climbing a few steps, but the rat also climbs, and the cat jumps down. Repeatedly like this, no less than a hundred times. People say cats are timid and think they are incompetent.

Then the mouse jumped slowly, its belly seemed to be panting, and it squatted on the ground for a short rest. The cat scurried down, clawed at the top of its head, squabbled, tossed and turned, the cat purred, and the mouse chirped. If you open the door and take a quick look, the rat's head will be broken into pieces.

Then you know that the cat avoids it not because it is timid, but because it treats it lazily. When he goes out, he will return, and when he returns, he will come back again. Use this wise ear. Alas! A man holding his sword is no different from a rat!

Translation

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there were rats in the palace, which were about the same size as cats and caused extremely serious harm. (The royal family) searched for good cats from the people to catch mice, but they were all eaten by the mice. There happened to be a lion cat sent as tribute from foreign countries, with its fur all white. Put the lion cat into a house with mice, close the windows, and observe secretly. The cat squatted on the ground for a long time, and the mice came out of their holes to look around. When they saw the cat, they rushed toward the lion angrily. The cat jumps on the table to avoid it, the mouse also jumps on the table, and the cat jumps down. This goes back and forth, no less than a hundred times. Everyone says cats are timid and thinks they are incompetent cats. After a while, the mouse's jumping movements gradually slowed down, its belly bulged and it looked like it was out of breath. It squatted on the ground to rest for a while. The cat immediately jumped down from the table, grabbed the hair on the top of the mouse's head with its paws, and bit its neck. They fought over and over again, with the cat purring and the mouse chirping. I hurriedly opened the window to check and found that the rat’s head had been chewed up. Only then did everyone understand that when the lion cat avoided the rat at first, it was not because it was afraid, but because it was waiting for it to get tired and relax! "When the enemy attacks, I will retreat; when the enemy retreats, I will come out." This is the kind of strategy the lion cat uses. well! What's the difference between a person who doesn't need resourcefulness and relies solely on his own blood and courage, and this rat?

Purpose of this article

This article illustrates the principle of fighting wits rather than strength by describing the fight between cat and mouse. Attacking when the enemy is tired and attacking later is an important strategy for defeating the enemy.

Center

The lion cat can defeat the rat because it pays attention to the conditions of the fight at any time, knows that the opponent is strong and cannot fight with strength, deliberately shows weakness, and blindly dodges; The opponent was exhausted, and when the opportunity came, he attacked with all his strength, hitting the vital points with his claws and mouth, and finally bit the mouse's head into pieces. This shows that we must use resourcefulness to do things, and we cannot rely solely on will and courage to do things. 2. Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, translated by Yishu

Yang Tian said: He saw two rats coming out, one of which was swallowed by a snake; the other stared like a pepper, as if he was very angry, but he looked at it from a distance and did not dare to move forward. The snake was full of food and snaked its way into the hole. When it was about halfway through, a rat rushed over and chewed its tail. The snake is angry and retreats. The rat is so convenient, and the inflammation is so easy to escape. The snake failed to catch up and returned. When he entered the hole, the rat came again and chewed as before. If the snake comes in, it will come, if the snake comes out, it will go, and this will last for a long time. The snake came out and spit out the dead rat on the ground.

The snake became angry and retreated out of the hole. Rats are nimble and can escape quickly. The snake cannot catch up and returns. When the snake wanted to enter the hole, the mouse came again and chewed it as before. If the snake wants to enter the hole, the mouse will come. If the snake leaves the hole, it will run away. This repeats for a long time. The snake had no choice but to come out and spit out the dead rat on the ground. Another rat immediately came over and sniffed the dead rat, chirped sadly as if sighing in mourning, held the dead rat in its mouth and left.

Wanli Period.

There are rats, big cats, etc. in the palace, which cause serious harm. I searched all over the country for good cats to catch and capture, but they were often eaten.

It is suitable for tribute lion cats from foreign countries. Their fur is as white as snow. He threw himself into the rat's house, closed its door, and peeked inside.

Repeatedly, no less than a hundred times. People say cats are timid and think they are incompetent.

Then the mouse jumped slowly, its belly seemed to be panting, and it squatted on the ground for a short rest. The cat scurried down, claws picked up the hair on its top, and its mouth was full of age. It tossed and turned and argued, the cat purred, and the mouse chirped.

The 15th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty was an ordinary year in history, but in the eyes of historians, it was a starting point for looking forward and backward and sorting out history. In the eyes of zoologists, it was an unusual year.

Because, in the most beautiful city of Beijing, a rat appeared. This rat is bigger, stronger, and more lethal than an ordinary cat.

Moreover, the whole body is covered with golden hair, which makes it look very beautiful and spectacular. Some onmyozoologists speculate that it may be the reincarnation of the "Jin-haired Rat" Bai Yutang. This rat originally appeared in the palace compound, frightening the emperor and the pink and white colorless people in the Sixth Palace.

The emperor conscripted evil cats from all over the world to hunt him down, and the victorious one was named the "Royal Cat"; however, Mono did not like Shuhe, but he was violently attacked and became his delicacy. The imperial guards were dispatched to shoot and kill him, but they were always escaped.

With his dexterity and agility, he can appear in the cave walls and ditches, and show off all the masters and martial arts elites in the cat world. Later, a worker who was transporting fruits and vegetables to the palace heard this and brought up a large iron cage. He sat silently aside, opened the cage door, and said that he could catch the rat on the condition that the rat would be his.

This strange behavior attracted countless powerful ministers, royal chefs, imperial doctors, harem concubines, palace maids and eunuchs to gather and watch. Everyone thinks: This rat is smart, has no bait, and is guarded, so how can it automatically enter the cage? It's a joke to the whole world.

However, in the lonely and boring palace life, this can also be used as a conversation starter to relieve the boredom of the day. Emperors and empresses would just sit back and watch if they were not dignified and reserved.

The ending is surprising. The golden-haired rat actually appeared and walked into the cage obediently.

As soon as the worker closed the cage door, he caught the rat and left the palace. Later Ming historians such as Wu.

Sogou Encyclopedia - Yi Mouse (Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio) 6. Translation of the Rat Play from Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio

A man was selling a rat play in Chang'an City, carrying a bag with mice in it. More than ten heads. Every time in the crowded crowd, a small wooden stand is placed on the shoulders, just like a theater building. He plays drums and sings ancient dramas.

As soon as the song starts, a rat comes out of the bag, wears a mask and small clothes, climbs up the stairs on its back, and dances while standing. The joys and sorrows of men and women are all the key points in the play.

This article describes the story of a man performing a show with a trained rat in the Chang'an market, similar to today's animal training performances or animal programs on TV. The way of performance is that people play drums and sing ancient dramas in the background, and rats perform in the front stage. Being able to express the joys and sorrows of men and women shows a certain amount of skill.

The relevant thoughts and meanings of this article are not as profound as "Wolf" and "Promoting Weaving" in "Liao Zhai". It just describes a kind of "difference". 7. Please give me the complete translation of "Rat" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"

The 15th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty was an ordinary year in history, but in the eyes of historians, it was a starting point for looking forward and backward and sorting out history. In the eyes of zoologists, it was an unusual year. Because, in the city of Beijing, the most beautiful area, a rat appeared.

This rat is bigger, stronger and more lethal than an ordinary cat. Moreover, the body is covered with brocade hair, which makes it look very beautiful and spectacular. Some onmyozoologists speculate that it may be the reincarnation of Bai Yutang, the "jin-haired rat".

This rat originally appeared in the palace compound, frightening the emperor and frightening the six palaces. The emperor conscripted evil cats from all over the world to hunt him down, and the victorious one was named the "Royal Cat". However, Mono did not like Shuhe, but he was violently attacked and became his delicacy. The imperial guards were dispatched to shoot and kill him, but they were always escaped. With his flexible skills, he can appear in the cave walls and ditches, and show off all the masters and martial arts elites in the cat world.

Later, a worker who was transporting fruits and vegetables into the palace heard this and brought a large iron cage. He sat silently aside, opened the cage door, and said that he could catch the rats on the condition that the rats would be his. This strange behavior attracted countless powerful ministers, royal chefs, imperial doctors, harem concubines, palace maids and eunuchs to gather and watch. Everyone thinks: This rat is smart, has no bait, and is guarded, so how can it automatically enter the cage? It's a joke to the whole world. However, in the lonely and boring palace life, this can also be used as a conversation starter to relieve the boredom of the day. Emperors and empresses would just sit back and watch if they were not dignified and reserved.

The ending is surprising. The golden-haired rat actually appeared and walked into the cage obediently. As soon as the worker closed the cage door, he caught the rat and left the palace. Later Ming historians like Wu? None of them could find out the reason, so they regarded it as a piece of official history and put it in a separate volume. When Huang Renyu carefully wrote "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli", he also regarded this vision as nothing. As for zoologists of all ages, they also regarded it as folk nonsense and had no scientific basis, so they suppressed it and refused to study it.

On the contrary, some onmyozoologists at that time conducted interviews and research, and came to a shocking conclusion: the golden rat was indeed the reincarnation of Bai Yutang, and the worker was the reincarnation of Lord Bao Zheng, because he had a face like the bottom of a pot. , with a moon-shaped seal on his forehead. When the golden-haired rat saw him, he did not throw himself into the cage, but surrendered himself to serve Lord Bao.

The above paragraph describes the origin of the Golden-haired Rat. Later, Pu Songling wrote an article "Rat", but said that it was killed by an imported lion cat in the palace, which was completely wrong. The rat has actually become a means of making money for the reincarnated Mr. Bao, just like the chicken-headed bustard under its mother's banner. 8.

"When the enemy attacks, I will retreat; when the enemy retreats, I will come out." This is the kind of strategy the lion cat uses. well! What's the difference between that kind of brave person who doesn't need to use ingenuity and relies solely on his own blood and this rat? . 9. Classical Chinese Translation of Two Rats' Deep Love

The mouse was very clever and agile, so he ran away quickly. Unable to catch up, the snake entered the hole again.

The mouse came back and bit it just like last time. Just like this, the snake comes in and the rat bites, the snake comes out and the rat runs away, and this happens many times.
