It is not difficult to find many idioms about animals in Chinese idioms. Every animal has its own unique temperament, and there are many things worth learning from them.

Here are some idioms and stories about animals. In many animal idioms, we can not only understand the habits of animals, but also understand some principles of being human.

Allusions to "Better late than never" 1

Once upon a time, there was a man who kept a flock of sheep. One morning, he found a sheep missing. A closer look revealed that there was a hole in the sheepfold. At night, the wolf came in and took a sheep. Neighbors advised him: "Hurry up and fix the sheepfold and plug the hole!" The man refused to accept the suggestion and said, "Why build a sheepfold when the sheep have been lost?" The next morning, he found another sheep missing.

It turned out that the wolf got in from the hole again and took another sheep. He regretted not listening to his neighbor's advice, so he quickly blocked the hole and repaired the sheepfold. From then on, wolves can no longer go into the sheepfold to grab sheep.

Allusions II of Waiting for the Rabbit

Han Feizi, a thinker in the Warring States period, expounded that it is timely for kings to govern the people and establish appropriate policies and facilities. Don't blindly follow the ancient laws and think that the policies of ancient saints are good, regardless of whether these policies are suitable for the current society. He cited an example to illustrate this truth: one day, a farmer in the state of Song was farming when he saw a rabbit running over. The rabbit was probably so scared that he didn't pay attention to the front, so he bumped into a tree and broke his neck. The farmer got the rabbit for nothing.

He thought that if rabbits could be obtained in this way in the future, there would be no need to work hard. So he threw away his farm tools and waited for the rabbit to come to the door under the tree every day. As a result, he never got any rabbits again, but made himself the laughing stock of the whole Song Dynasty.

Therefore, it is in vain to govern the country with the old method, such as a rabbit watcher. Later, this story was condensed into "waiting for the rabbit", which was used to describe the rut, and also to describe wanting to get something for nothing, or waiting for the target to deliver itself.

Allusions to "making tigers" III

Once upon a time, there lived a fierce tiger in a cave somewhere. One day, it felt very sad because there was no food to satisfy its hunger. So it went out of the cave and went to nearby Shan Ye to look for food.

Just then, the tiger saw a man walking along the mountainside, and pounced on him, killing him and eating up his meat. But the tiger is not satisfied. It clings to that person's ghost and insists on finding another person to enjoy it. Otherwise, it won't set that person's ghost free. The ghost caught by the tiger actually agreed.

So he acted as a guide for the tiger, looked around and finally met the second man. At this time, the ghost actually helped the tiger commit crimes in order to get rid of himself as soon as possible. He first went over to confuse the new person he met, then untied the man's belt and took off his clothes to make it easier for the tiger to eat. This kind of ghost that helps tigers eat people is called a ghost. According to this legend, later generations call it "ill-fated" to help the bad guys do things that endanger the world.

Allusions of Ye Gong Long Hao IV

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named in the State of Chu. He is Yin of Yedi County, claiming that everyone calls him Gao. Ye Gong is famous for his love of dragons. He carved dragons not only on his own sword and chisel, but also on the beams and columns of doors and windows at home, and even painted dragons on the walls. Tianlong in heaven was very moved to know that there were such good dragons in the world, and decided to come down to thank Ye Gong.

The story of Ye Gong's good dragon happened like this. One day, Ye Gong was taking a nap at home when a storm suddenly started. Ye Gong was awakened in my dream. He quickly got up and closed the window. Unexpectedly, Tianlong leaned his head out of the window, scaring Ye Gong out of his wits. When he turned and fled into the room, he saw a huge dragon tail lying in front of him.

Ye Gong had nowhere to run. He was very scared and pale. He suddenly fainted and was unconscious. Looking at Ye Gong who fainted to the ground, Tianlong felt puzzled and had to fly back to heaven in disappointment. In fact, Ye Gong doesn't really like dragons, but he just likes things that look like dragons. This fable satirizes those who seem to like something, but in fact they are scared to death.

Later, people used "Ye Gong Long Hao" to describe people or things who seemed to like something, but actually didn't.

Allusions to the ascension of chickens and dogs 5

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a famous thinker and writer named Liu An. Inherited the title of king of Huainan from his father.

One day, he heard that a fairy named Hachi had the secret recipe of alchemy, but he never passed it on to others, so he went to Hachi. I didn't expect Hachi to run around. Liu An suffered a lot and couldn't find Hachi. But Liu An was still looking for it wholeheartedly, and Liu An's sincerity touched Hachi. One day, Bagong came to Liu Anjia to teach him the method of alchemy, and told him that after alchemy, he could ascend to heaven and become immortal after eating it.

Liu An practiced devoutly every day, and then "really" refined the elixir. At this time, he felt light and tall. Those drugs are transparent. He knew it was time to ascend to heaven. He bathed, changed clothes, burned incense and prayed, and then took the elixir of life ... Liu Anjue looked down and found himself standing in the clouds.

After Liu An became immortal, the elixir sprinkled in the yard was eaten by chickens and dogs, and all of them drifted away to become immortals. Liu An, surrounded by chickens and dogs, slowly disappeared.

Allusions to "Tiger skin for meat" 6

The monarch of Lu wanted Confucius to be a shepherd, but all his ministers opposed it. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment and decided to consult with the ministers before making a decision. He happened to meet Zuo Qiuming and asked him, "I want Confucius to be a shepherd. Do you think you should discuss it with your ministers? "

Tyumen replied, "Kong Qiu is recognized as a saint today. When a saint has an official position, others have to leave it. What will happen if you discuss it with someone who may leave because of this? I have heard such a story:

In the Zhou Dynasty, there was a man who liked to wear leather clothes very much, and he also liked to eat exquisite meals. He was going to sew an expensive fur robe, so he discussed with the fox and said, "Give me some of your fur." Hearing this, the foxes all fled to the mountains.

He also wanted to sacrifice with fat mutton, so he went to the sheep and said,' Please help me cut off your two pounds of meat, and I'm going to sacrifice.' Before he finished, the sheep screamed with fear, told each other and got into the Woods to hide together.

In this way, the man did not sew a fox robe for ten years and made no sacrifice for five years. What is the reason? The reason is that he picked the wrong person to discuss! Now you want Kong Qiu to be a shepherd, but you are negotiating with those who quit because of it. Isn't this trying to be Smith? What's the difference between them? "

Allusions to "make the finishing point" 7

During the Liang Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a famous painter named Zhang Sengyou, whose painting skills were superb. At that time, Emperor Liang Wudi believed in Buddhism and built many temples, so he was asked to paint.

Legend has it that one year, Liang Wudi asked Zhang Sengyou to draw anrakuji in Jinling and painted four golden dragons on the wall of the temple. He promised to finish it in only three days. These dragons are lifelike, as lifelike as real dragons.

After Zhang Sengyou finished painting, many people went to see it and praised it for its good painting and lifelike. However, when people take a closer look, they will find that all four dragons have no eyes. Everyone begged him to put the dragon's eyes on it Zhang Sengyou explained: "It is not difficult to give dragons eyeballs, but with eyeballs, these dragons will break the wall and fly away."

Hearing this, everyone didn't believe him and thought his explanation was ridiculous. How can the dragon on the wall fly away? After a long time, many people thought he was lying.

Zhang Sengyou was forced to "make the finishing point" for the dragon, but in order to leave two white dragons in the temple, he was only willing to make the finishing point for the other two white dragons. On this day, many people watched in front of the temple wall. In front of everyone, Zhang Monk raised his brush and gently lit the eyes of two dragons. Strange things did happen. He clicked on the eyes of the second dragon. After a while, the sky was overcast, the wind was blowing, and there was lightning and thunder. In the thunder and lightning, people saw two "finishing touches" dragons, breaking through the wall, soaring, bared their teeth and flying into the sky.

After a while, the dark clouds cleared and people were too scared to say a word. Look at the wall again, only two dragons have not been found, and the other two dragons that have been "discovered" have disappeared.

Later, people derived the idiom "make the finishing point" from this legend, which is a metaphor for a speech or an article. Point out the main idea with one or two key and incisive sentences in the main points to make the content more vivid and powerful. But in the information age of knowledge reform and opening-up, we can think that this is an innovation, because Zhang Sengyou gave the dragon a look and made a qualitative leap.

Allusions to "Smith" 8

Once upon a time, there was a tiger in a cave. Because he was hungry, he ran outside to look for food. When he came to a dense forest, he suddenly saw a fox walking in front of him. It felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so it jumped forward and caught him effortlessly.

But when it opened its mouth to eat the fox, the sly fox suddenly said, "Hum! Don't think that you are the king of beasts and dare to swallow me; You know, God ordered me to be king of kings, and whoever eats me will be severely punished by God. "

The tiger listened to the fox with a grain of salt, but he was not surprised when he tilted his head and saw the fox's arrogant and calm appearance. The arrogance of the original posture, I do not know when it has disappeared more than half. Even so, it thought to itself: I am the king of beasts, so any beast in the world will be afraid to see me. And it was originally ordered by the emperor Fengtian to rule us!

At this time, the fox saw that the tiger had been slow to eat, knowing that it had believed his words to some extent, so he stood up more proudly and said, "What, you don't believe what I said?" Then come with me now, walk behind me and see if all the wild animals are scared out of their wits when they see me. Tiger thought it was a good idea, so he did it.

So the fox swaggered ahead and the tiger followed carefully. Not long after they walked, they vaguely saw the depths of the forest, where many small animals were fighting for food, but when they found the tiger walking behind the fox, they couldn't help running in fear. At this moment, the fox turned to look at the tiger proudly. Seeing this situation, the tiger couldn't help feeling a little scared, but he didn't know that the beast was afraid of himself, but thought he was really afraid of the fox!

The cunning fox succeeded, but his strength was entirely attributed to the tiger, who could threaten animals with a temporary favorable situation. The poor tiger was fooled and didn't even know it! Therefore, the northern people are afraid of Zhao Xi's shirt, because the king's military power is in his hands, that is to say, what they are afraid of is actually the king's power!

Allusions to gild the lily nine

There was a nobleman in the state of Chu who offered a pot of sacrificial wine to his guests after offering sacrifices to their ancestors. The doorman took this pot of wine and didn't know what to do with it. They think it is definitely not enough for so many people to drink a pot of wine. Might as well just give it to someone and have fun. But who should I give it to? So, the guests discussed a good idea, that is, everyone draws a snake on the ground, and whoever draws the pot of wine first will drink it. Everyone agrees with this method.

Each doorman took a stick and began to draw snakes on the ground. A person drew quickly, and in a short time, he finished painting the snake, so he brought a hip flask. Just as he was about to drink, he saw at a glance that the others had not finished drawing snakes. He proudly picked up the stick again and said to himself, "If I add more feet to snakes, they may not finish painting." While talking, I drew my feet on the painted snake.

Unexpectedly, before the man finished drawing the snake's foot, the hip flask in his hand was taken away by a person next to him. It turns out that the man has finished drawing the snake. The person who painted the snake's foot refused and said, "I'll finish painting the snake first, and the wine should be mine!" " "The man smiled and said," You're still painting. I've finished painting. Of course the wine is mine! "The person who drew the snake's feet argued," I finished it long ago. It's still early, but I just added some feet to the snake. " The man said, "Snakes have no feet. Give them some feet, you can't drink anyway! " "

Men drink wine rudely, and men who gild the lily look at the wine taken away by others and regret it.

Allusions to Ten Wells Frog

There is a frog who lives in a dry well all the year round. It is very satisfied with the small world in which it lives, and will brag about it in public whenever it has the chance. One day, he was full and sat by the well. Suddenly, he saw a turtle walking not far away. The frog quickly tore open his voice and shouted, "Hey, Brother Tortoise, come here quickly!" " The tortoise climbed to the side of the dry well.

The frog immediately opened the chatterbox: "You are very lucky today. I will let you open your eyes and visit my room. " . This is a paradise. You have probably never seen such a spacious residence, have you? "The tortoise probe looked into the well and saw a pool of muddy water covered with green moss at the shallow bottom of the well, and smelled a pungent smell. The turtle frowned and quickly retracted his head.

The frog didn't pay attention to the turtle's expression at all, and continued to brag with a big belly: "I live here very comfortably!" " At night, you can jump on the mine field to enjoy the cool; You can sleep in the hole in the wall at night; Soak in the water, let the water soak your armpits, hold your cheeks, and you can swim; Jump into the mud, cover the instep with mud, bury four feet and roll. Those bugs, crabs, tadpoles and so on, which one can compare with me! The frog vomited all over the floor, and the more he said it, the more proud he became: "You see, this pit of water and this well are all mine, and I can do whatever I like. "This kind of fun can be calculated to the top. Brother turtle, don't you want to go in for sightseeing? " The turtle felt the kindness and difficulty, so he climbed to the wellhead, but before his left leg could be fully inserted, his right knee was stuck in the well site.

The tortoise retreated slowly and asked the frog, "Have you ever heard of the sea?" Frog shook his head. The tortoise said, "The sea is boundless, boundless. A thousand miles can't describe its vastness, and a thousand miles can't show its depth. Legend has it that more than 4,000 years ago, when Dayu was a monarch, there were nine floods in ten years and the sea was not deep; More than 3,000 years ago, during the reign of Shang Tang, there were seven droughts in eight years, and the sea water did not decrease. The sea is so big that neither the length of time nor the changes of drought and flood can make its water volume change obviously. Brother Frog, I live in the sea. You see, which world is more open and which world is more fun than your dry well shallow water? " The frog listened stupidly, his eyes wide open and his mouth closed for a long time.

Once upon a time, there was an official named Yue. He has a good friend who comes to his house to chat whenever he is free. For a while, his friend didn't show up. Yue Guang missed him very much, so he went to see him. I saw my friend sitting on the bed, lying on the bed, his face sallow. Le Guang knew that his friend was very ill, so he asked him how he got sick. My friend faltered and refused to say anything.

After repeated questioning, my friend said, "I was drinking at your house that day and saw a small snake with green skin and red flowers swimming in the glass." It was disgusting then. I don't want to drink. You advised me to drink again and again. Out of politeness, I couldn't refuse Yue Guang's kindness, so I had to drink it reluctantly.

From then on, I always felt that there was a little snake running around in my stomach, and I wanted to vomit and couldn't eat anything. I have been ill for almost half a month. "Leguang wondered, how can there be a small snake in the glass? But his friend saw it clearly again. What happened?

When he got home, he walked around the temple and analyzed the reasons. He saw a carved bow in Zhang Qing with a red stripe on the wall, and he had a brainwave: Is this a trick with the carved bow? So he poured a glass of wine, put it on the table, moved several places, and finally saw the shadow of the carved bow clearly reflected in the glass. With the shaking of the wine, it swims like a small snake with green skin and red flowers.

In order to dispel his friend's doubts, Leguang immediately sent his friend home in a sedan chair. Let him sit in the same position as last time, still fill him with a glass of last time's wine and ask, "What's in the glass?" The friend looked down and immediately exclaimed, "Snake! Snakes! Another little snake with green skin and red flowers! "

Le Guang smiled and pointed to the carved bow on the wall and said, "Look, what is that?" My friend looked at the carved bow and the snake shadow in the cup, and suddenly realized that he felt relaxed and his heart disease was gone!

Twelve allusions in "Handan Travel"

Legend has it that two thousand years ago, there was a teenager in Shouling, Yan State. If you don't know his last name, just call him Shouling Youth! This young Shouling is not worried about food and clothing, and he is a medium-sized talent in appearance, but he lacks self-confidence. He often feels that he is nothing like others for no reason-good clothes, delicious food and elegant standing and sitting.

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. In this way, after only half a month, he couldn't even walk, and his travel expenses were spent, so he had to climb back.

Allusions to casting pearls before swine XIII

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous musician named Gong in the State of Lu. He is very accomplished in music and good at playing the piano. His piano sound is beautiful, and people are often intoxicated with it after hearing such beautiful piano sound.

One spring, he took his harp for a walk in the countryside. The warm spring breeze blew the fragrance of grass in front of him, which made him feel very comfortable. He looked around and found a big bull grazing not far away. He was in high spirits and had a whim to play a song for this bull, so he plucked the strings and played an elegant Song of Clear Horn for this bull.

Although the music played in the palace was very pleasant, the grazing cows ignored this elegant tune and kept eating grass with their heads down. Because the bull can hear the sound of the strings, but it can't understand the wonderful artistic conception in the song. (Short Literature Network www.duanwenxue.com)

Gong was helpless when he saw that the wonderful piano sound could not impress this cow who didn't understand music. After a while, he came up with another idea. Gong Yiming stroked the strings and made strange and messy sounds, some like buzzing mosquitoes and flies, and some like the cry of a lost calf. At this moment, Daniel seemed to suddenly understand something, wagging his tail and listening.

Later, people used the metaphor of "casting pearls before swine" to tell a profound truth to a stupid person, or to tell experts to outsiders, wasting time; It is also used to laugh at people who talk without looking at the object.

Mao Jiu's 14th Allusions

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (Liu Che) was very happy to hear that Li Ling was leading troops into the Xiongnu border. At this time, many ministers jokingly congratulated the emperor on his wisdom and good use of people.

Later, Li Ling was defeated and surrendered, and Emperor Wu was very angry. In turn, the ministers who congratulated Li Ling called Li Ling useless and disloyal. At this time, Sima Qian stood silently, and Emperor Wu of Han asked his advice on this matter. Sima Qian bluntly said that Li Ling had only 5,000 infantry, but was surrounded by 80,000 tarkan. However, he fought for more than ten days and killed more than ten thousand people. He is really a great general.

Eventually, the road was cut off and the war stopped because the food ran out. Li Ling didn't really surrender, but was waiting for an opportunity to serve the country. His contribution can still make up for his failure. Emperor Wu listened to him defend Li Ling and satirized Li Guangli, the closest relative of the emperor, for attacking Xiongnu from the front, which made Sima Qian angry and put him in prison. The following year, Li Ling was misrepresented as a Xiongnu soldier. Emperor Wu killed Li Ling's mother and wife without making things clear.

In order to cater to the emperor, Ting Wei and Du Zhou framed Sima Qian and gave him the most cruel and humiliating "corruption punishment". Sima Qian was devastated and wanted to commit suicide when he was in pain; However, on second thought, the death of a lowly man like him, in the eyes of many rich people, is like "a drop in the ocean", which not only won't get sympathy, but also makes people laugh. So I decided to bear the burden of humiliation and use my life and time to finish the writing of Historical Records with difficulty and tenacity.

The ancients said that people with great courage have great wisdom, and Sima Qian is such a person. He knew that in his time, a person with no status and fame like him might as well die as a dog, so he bravely survived and finally completed an unprecedented great historical work, Historical Records.

Sima Qian told this idea to his good friend Ren. Later, according to what he said in his letter, people derived the idiom "nine hairs", which is used to mean that something or someone is only a part of the vast majority, just like a hair on nine cows.
