For children in the critical period of brain development, learning fables is a seed of wisdom. Once sown, it will grow the root of wisdom. The following are the ancient idioms and fables I compiled. Welcome to read!

China ancient idiom fable 1: Pulling out seedlings helped the ancient Song Dynasty. A man was worried when he saw that the seedlings in his field grew too slowly.

On this day, he simply went to the field and began to pull up the seedlings one by one. He came home exhausted and said to his family, "I'm exhausted today!" I let the seedlings grow a lot at once! "

Hearing this, his son hurried to the field to have a look. All the seedlings in the field have withered. Moral: Everything has its own laws; Anyone who ignores the law will be punished. People who would rather believe their size than their feet when buying shoes.

Once upon a time, there was a A Zheng man who wanted to buy a pair of shoes in the market. He first measured the length of his feet and made a ruler. But when he left, he accidentally left his ruler on the stool at home.

He went to the market and found a place to sell shoes. I was about to buy shoes when I found that I left my ruler at home. I said to the shoe seller, "I left my shoe size at home, so I will buy it when I get home." With that, he hurried home.

He ran home in a hurry, took a ruler and ran to the market in a panic. At this time, it was getting late and the market had already dispersed. He made two trips for nothing and didn't buy shoes.

Others know this, feel very strange, ask him; "Why don't you try on your shoes with your own feet instead of going home and getting a ruler?"

Zheng Guoren, who bought shoes, said, "I would rather trust a measured ruler than my feet."

Moral: People who stick to the rules and ignore the objective reality often do absurd things.

China ancient idiom fable story 2: If you want to send troops to attack Guo, you must pass through Yu first, but he is worried that Yu will not agree to borrow the road. At this time, Xun, the minister of the State of Jin, said to the Duke Xian: "If you are willing to give the Baoyu produced in Jing Ke (place name) and the steed produced in Qu (place name, which belongs to the territory of the State of Jin) to the King of Jin, and then borrow from him, I think he will agree."

Hesitantly said, "Yu Pei with a drooping thorn is my ancestral treasure, and Qu's BMW is my beloved mount. What if the monarch of the state of Yu accepted my two precious gifts and still refused to lend me the road? "

Xun then analyzed the tribute: "If the monarch refuses to borrow the road, he will definitely dare not accept our gifts casually. If he accepts the jade and BMW, he will definitely lend us the road. As for these two treasures, you are reluctant to part with them. It doesn't matter. They are only temporarily stored there and will be returned to you sooner or later. For example, we put the hanging jade in the state of jade, just like moving from the inner room to the outer room; Putting BMW in Yuguo is like taking it from Neimala to foreign countries. Wouldn't it be easy for you to get these two treasures back then? "

Hearing this, Jin Xiangong was relieved and decided to follow Xun's plan.

When Yu Guojun saw these two rare treasures, he was tempted and planned to borrow the way for the State of Jin. At this time, Yu's doctor came forward to dissuade him and said, "The monarch can't do this! Guo is our neighbor, and their relationship with our country is like a close person. If our lips are gone, our teeth will be frozen! For a long time, our two countries helped each other in times of crisis. This is not a common Shi Si, but a strategic common need. Now, you agree to lend this road to the State of Jin and let it attack the State of Guo. If the State of Jin destroys the State of Guo today, the State of Yu will be eaten by the State of Jin tomorrow. How dangerous that would be. "

However, the obsession with Baoyu and Haoma of the State of Jin did not listen to the public's dissuasion, leaving the army of the State of Jin with the only way to attack the State of Guo.

Jin's national strength was strong, and Mazhuang was a good soldier, which soon eliminated the weak country Guo. Move troops back to Chaoxian, by the way, destroyed the unprepared country of Yu. So Xun went to Yu State to find Baoyu and returned it to him face to face.

Jin Xiangong looked at the recovered treasure and said proudly, "Baoyu is still my original piece, and it hasn't changed;" Only this horse has another tooth, which is one year longer than last year. "

In order to covet a little profit in front of him, Yu Guojun ignored the national interests and caused great disaster of national subjugation. This profound historical lesson is worth pondering by future generations.

China ancient idiom fable story 3: The feathers are not full, which means that the birds' feathers are not full. Metaphor is not mature enough or strong enough.

During the Warring States Period, Su Qin went to Qin to persuade Qin to conquer the six countries and dominate the world. However, King Hui of Qin was not interested in his opinion. He said, "Now the State of Qin is like a bird without feathers. If it insists on flying high, it will be doomed to disaster. Mr. Wang came to our country from a distant place and inspired me. I appreciate it. However, about hegemony, let's talk about it later. "

Su Qin didn't want to leave, so he wrote more than ten letters to King Hui, explaining the importance of hegemony. However, Qin became more and more disgusted with his opinions. By this time, Su Qin's wealth had been exhausted, so he had to go home in frustration.

China ancient idiom fable story 4: A craftsman named Jiang's family went to Qi State and came to Qu Yuan. He saw a big tree growing next to the earthen temple. The shade of this tree can cover thousands of cows; This tree is 100 feet thick, and its trunk is 80 feet higher than the hill before it has branches and leaves. There are more than a dozen branches that can be used for shipbuilding. There are as many people looking at this giant tree as going to the market.

Strangely, the craftsman turned a blind eye and ignored it. He kept walking forward. . The disciples opened their eyes wide, but they didn't understand Master's attitude. They caught up with the craftsman and asked, "We have never met such good wood since we traveled around with the master and learned skills. Why don't you pay attention to it? "

The craftsman replied, "Don't praise this tree. This is a fragile and unstable tree. When the coffin is covered, it will rot quickly, the pillars will be moth-eaten, the utensils will be destroyed, and the door will be dirty ... "The craftsman said it was useless and decided that it was a tree and could not be used as a material. It is because it is useless that it grows so big and has such a long life!

What seems powerful is often flashy. Look at problems, observe things, don't be confused by the surface, see the essence through the phenomenon, otherwise, you will make a wrong judgment.

China ancient idiom fable story 5: Once upon a time, there lived an old man on the border adjacent to the Hu people, and passers-by respectfully called him "Sai Weng". Sai Weng is philosophical by nature and treats people differently.

One day, for some unknown reason, Sai Weng's horse got lost while eating grass and never came back. When the neighbors learned the news, they all expressed regret. However, Sai Weng doesn't care. Instead, he comforted everyone: "Losing horses is certainly a bad thing, but who knows if it will bring good results?"

Sure enough, a few months later, the lost old horse ran back from the Great Wall and brought back a good horse rode by the Hu people. So the neighbors got together to congratulate Sai Weng and praised his foresight when he lost his horse. At this time, however, Sai Weng was worried and said, "Alas, who knows if this incident will bring me disaster?"

Sai Weng's family has added a good horse that the Hu people ride, and his son is very happy, so he rides it every day and enjoys it. Finally, one day, my son got carried away, fell off the galloping horse, injured his leg and was disabled for life. After hearing the news, the kind neighbors came to offer their condolences, but Sai Weng still said, "Who knows if there will be a good result?"

Another year passed, and the Hu people invaded the Central Plains on a large scale, and the border situation suddenly became tense. All able-bodied young people were recruited as soldiers, and nine times out of ten they died on the battlefield. Because Sai Weng's son was lame and exempted from military service, his father and son were able to escape the disaster in Where Are You Going?

In the process of being handed down from generation to generation, this story gradually condensed into an idiom: "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise." Explain that good and bad in the world are not absolute. Under certain conditions, bad things can have good results, and good things may also have bad results.

China Ancient Idiom Fable Story 6: Mending the Lost Sheep Once upon a time, there was a herder who kept dozens of sheep and herded them into a sheepfold surrounded by firewood and stakes at night.

One morning, the herdsmen went to herd sheep and found that one sheep was missing. It turned out that there was a hole in the sheepfold. At night, a wolf got in and took a sheep.

Neighbors advised him: "Hurry up and fix the sheepfold and plug the hole."

He said, "Why repair the sheepfold when all the sheep are lost?" I didn't accept my neighbor's kind advice.

The next morning, he went to herd sheep and found that another sheep was missing. It turned out that the wolf got into the sheepfold from the hole and took away another sheep.

Herdsmen regretted not directly accepting their neighbors' suggestions and taking remedial measures in time. So he quickly blocked the hole, reinforced it as a whole, and made the sheepfold firmly.

Since then, the shepherd's sheep have never been grabbed by wolves.

The story of herders tells us that mistakes and setbacks are common. As long as we can learn lessons seriously and take remedial measures in time, we can avoid making bigger mistakes and suffering greater losses.

China ancient idiom fable story 7: Speaking insolently At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a general named Zhang He who was wise and brave under Yuan Shao.

On one occasion, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led their respective armies to a decisive battle in Guandu (now northeast zhongmou county). Yuan Shao was afraid that he was short of food and grass, so he ordered Chunyu Qiong to be responsible for supervising the transportation of food and grass, and stationed food in the nest. At this time, Cao Cao was running out of food. He wanted to end the war as soon as possible, so he rushed to Wu Chao to attack Chunyu Qiong.

Zhang He remonstrated with Yuan Shaojin, urging him not to underestimate Cao Cao, and to send heavy troops to guard the nest, otherwise the army would run out of food and the consequences would be unimaginable. Guo Tu, Yuan Shao's counselor, thinks that the situation in Wu Chao is not serious, and should mobilize the main force to attack Cao Cao's stronghold. Zhang He feels that this is not cheap and resolutely opposes it.

Yuan Shao trusts Guo Tu very much. He only sent small troops to save Wu Chao, but mobilized heavy troops to attack Jun's stronghold, but failed to do so. As a result, Cao Cao really broke into the house and burned all the food and grass of Yuan Shao. As a result, the morale of Yuan Shao's army fluctuated and was low.

Guo Tu knew that it was his own strategy that led to the failure of the army. In order to distract Yuan Shao, he spoke ill of Zhang He. He said to Yuan Shao, "You lost, but Zhang He gloated all day and spoke arrogantly."
