In China, people often emphasize the need for a little bull market spirit. The following is an idiom story about cows that I shared. Let's have a look!
Cow idiom story 1: Khan is full of cattle, and Confucius has profound thoughts, and later generations respect him as a saint. At that time, 3000 people followed him to study. At that time, in order to meet the needs of teaching, Confucius had compiled and revised Chunqiu. Confucius said that "the spring and autumn period is based on righteousness", that is, the spring and autumn period is used to make people understand "righteousness". But Confucius didn't write a book of his own in his life, just "words don't mean everything."
The Analects of Confucius said that once Zigong asked Confucius about "heaven", and Confucius said, "I don't want to talk about it." Zi Gong said, "If your master doesn't say anything, why do it?" Confucius said, "How can heaven be clearly defined? The seasons run because of it, and everything grows because of it. How can heaven be clear? " This may be the reason why Confucius did not write.
Liu Zongyuan said in the Tang Dynasty: "Since Confucius compiled the Spring and Autumn Annals, more people have made biographies of it. At that time, there were five biographies: Zuo Zhuan, Ram Zhuan, Gu Liang Zhuan, Zou Zhuan and Jia Zhuan. Later dynasties, hundreds of people commented on it and wrote many works with different views. These books can be piled up to fill the house, and they will make cows and horses sweat when they are shipped out. "

Comments on the mass reproduction of cattle
We often say that people should read more books because books are full of poems and books. There are many things in the book that we have never seen and yearn for. Some people are good at expressing their feelings through words. From other people's books, we can see what other people's lives are like, so some good experiences can also be used as the practice of our lives to let you know what is best for you. So children, usually read more books and read more good books!
Idiom story two cows: the cow chef slaughters the cow for Liang. The place where the hands touch, the place where the shoulders lean, the place where the feet tread, and the place where the knees top rattle, and there is no rhythm when entering the knife: it conforms to the rhythm of Sanglin (Tangli) dance music and the rhythm of Jingtou (Yaoli) music.
Liang said, "Hey, good! How can technology (you know cows) be so superb? "
The chef put down the knife and replied, "I am pursuing the law, which has surpassed the general technology." When I first slaughtered the cow, I couldn't see anything that wasn't a cow in my eyes; After three years, I will never see the whole cow again. Now, I am in contact with cows by spirit, not by eyes. My vision has stopped, and my spirit is moving. According to the natural structure (of cattle), enter the gap between the bones and muscles of cattle and eat along the gap (between joints). According to the original structure of the cow, where the tendons and veins are connected and where the bones and muscles are combined, no knife has ever been used, let alone the big bones! A skilled chef changes a knife every year to cut muscles; The average chef has to change a knife to cut bones every month. Now, my knife has been used for 19 years, killing thousands of cows, but the blade is as sharp as if it had just been ground from a grindstone. There are gaps in the joints of cattle and the blade is very thin; Insert a very thin (blade) into a gap (joint), wide and wide, there must be room for blade operation! Therefore, for 19 years, the blade was only ground from the grindstone. Even so, whenever I meet a place where (bones and muscles) are intertwined, I see that it is difficult to get off the knife, so I carefully raise my vigilance, focus on one point, slow down, move the knife lightly, and sigh, (the bones and meat of the cow are untied at once), just like mud scattered on the ground. I stood up with a knife and looked around, full of pride. Wipe the knife clean and put it away. "
Liang said, "Good! After listening to the chef's words, I understand the truth of keeping in good health. "

Whole cow review
The teacher must have said in class that students must preview their lessons when they go back. Did the children do as the teacher said? Just like killing cattle in the story, you can find out the doorway after practicing a few more times, and then you can kill cattle easily. If children can preview their lessons in advance, you will find it much easier to go to class the next day. If you review well every day, the final exam will be much easier, so don't be lazy, son!
Story 3: Playing the lute to a cow During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a famous musician named Gong in 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 field in the suburbs. 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.
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 stroked the strings, and a series of strange and messy sounds popped up, some like buzzing mosquitoes and flies, and some like the cry of a lost calf (dú). At this moment, Daniel seemed to suddenly understand something, wagging his tail and listening.

Cows don't know elegant music, so how can you get feedback from cows when the palace plays the piano in front of them? This story tells us that education depends on the target and should teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
Story 4: The Ninth Emperor of Liu Che was very happy when he heard that Li Ling and his army had gone deep into the territory of Xiongnu. 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.

Jiumao review
Corruption not only cruelly destroys people's body and spirit, but also greatly insults people's personality. No one wants to endure this torture, but Sima Qian did. He knows that everyone's ultimate fate is death, but the meaning of death is different. He felt that if he "died under the law" like this, it would be as worthless as a hair missing from a cow. So even if the pain is extreme, he is determined to finish Historical Records. We should learn from Sima Qian to make our lives more valuable.
Story 5 of Cattle Idiom: Selling Sword and Buying Cattle After Xuan Di ascended the throne, a long time passed, and there was a famine in Bohai County and its neighboring areas, and thieves were everywhere, which the Taishou could not stop. Emperor Xuandi wants to choose a capable person. The Prime Minister suggested recommending Gong Sui, and the Emperor appointed Gong Sui as the prefect of Bohai Sea. At that time, Gong Sui was over seventy years old. When the emperor summoned him, he saw that he was short. After seeing him, Xuan Di thought that Gong Sui was not as contemptuous as people said. Xuan Di asked Gong Sui, "Bohai County is in chaos, and I am very worried. What methods are you going to use to calm the thieves there and let me stop worrying? " Gong Sui replied: "Bohai County is located in a remote place and has not been enlightened by the grace of the Holy Father. The people there were hungry and cold, and the local officials didn't know how to help them, so that your majesty's people stole your majesty's weapons and needed to play tricks on the shore of the pond. Are you going to let me destroy them or appease them? " Xuan Di was very happy to hear Gong Sui's answer and said, "I chose a virtuous minister to go there because I wanted to appease them." Gong Sui added: "I heard that controlling the disorderly people is just like straightening out the chaotic ropes. You can't worry, you can only achieve your goal slowly. I hope that after I take office, the censors of the Prime Minister will not restrict my work as usual for the time being, and everything will let me act according to circumstances. " Xuan Di agreed to this request, and specially gave Gong Sui gold, and sent more post cars for him. After Gong Sui entered Bohai County, the county officials heard that the new magistrate had arrived, so they sent troops to meet the enemy. Gong Sui told them all to go back and ordered the county to remove all the officials responsible for chasing thieves. All the people carrying farm tools are good citizens, and officials are not allowed to question them. Those who carry weapons belong to thieves. Then Gong Sui came to the county seat by car alone, and soon the county seat settled down and the thieves stopped their activities. There are still some bandit gangs in Bohai County. After hearing Gong Sui's instructions, they automatically disbanded, laid down their weapons and picked up hoes and sickles. In this way, theft and robbery have subsided and the people have begun to live and work in peace and contentment. Gong Sui then opened the granary, lent food to the poor, and selected some good officials to appease the people.
Gong Sui found that the local folk customs of Qi liked to pursue a luxurious life, like the last skill of industry and commerce, and did not pay attention to farming. So he set an example, pursued a frugal servant's life, encouraged ordinary people to farm, and ordered each race to plant an elm tree, a hundred onions, fifty onions, a bed of leeks, two sows and five chickens. The people had swords, so Gong Sui told them to sell them and buy cows, saying, "Why don't you bring calves?" Therefore, in spring and summer, ordinary people should work in the fields, and in autumn and winter, they should collect and urge the old to encourage people to store more agricultural and sideline products. (Gong Sui) also visited and encouraged people to work hard in agriculture. Every family in Bohai County has savings, and both the government and the people are rich. Ordinary people won't go to court again.
