1, skilled in handling cattle

Wen's understanding of cattle, the touch of hands, the leaning of shoulders, the stepping of feet, the top of knees, the clanging of knives and tenor are all integrated with the dance of "Sanglin", that is, the meeting of "Jingshou". Wen said, "Hey, good! Is that all? " My master released the knife and said to him, "I like Tao;" I'm entering the technical field. When the first minister solved the cow, he saw nothing but the cow; I haven't seen all the cows for three years. At this time, I saw God instead of looking at him. Zhi Zhi was an official and wanted to do something. According to heaven, we should criticize and guide others, because skills and experience are certainly not bad, but what is the situation? A good man is a better cutter; There are many knives and many folds in the family month. Today, I killed thousands of cows with my sword for nineteen years, but if the blade is new. There is a gap between people for a while, but the blade is not thick; With thickness, there is space, and there is room for recovery! It's been 19 years, if the blade is new. Although, whenever it comes to clans, I see difficulties, but I take them as a warning. Looking at it now, it is too late to move the knife, and it has been solved. For example, the Land Commission has come forward with a knife, looking around, and is full of ambitions. Hide with a good knife. " Wen said: "Good!" I have listened to my master, so I can keep healthy. "

My master is Liang Zainiu. When you reach out, lean on your shoulders, step on your knees, the sound is very harmonious, just like beautiful music, which is in line with the melody of Yao Shi's Jing Shou. That movement is also very rhythmic, just like the beautiful dance of Sanglin. When King Hui of Liang saw God, he praised him and said, "Ha, good! How did your technology reach such a superb level? " My master put down his knife and said to Liang, "I like exploring the Tao, which is a step further than ordinary technology." When I started dissecting a cow, I saw a whole cow. I don't know the internal structure of the cow's body, and I don't know where to start. Three years later, what I saw was the gap between the bones of the cow, not the whole cow. Today, I kill cattle by feeling, and I don't need to look with my eyes to know how to use the knife. The organizational structure of cattle is regular. Where I enter the knife, there are gaps between the muscles and bones, and I never touch the bones of cattle, let alone the big bones. A skilled cook has to change a knife every year because he cuts it with a knife. The average chef changes a knife every month because he cuts it with a knife. The knife I used to kill cattle has been used for 19 years; Thousands of cows have been slaughtered, but the blade is still as sharp as if it had just been sharpened on a millstone. Why is this? It is because there are gaps between the organizational structures of cattle. Compared with these gaps, the blade is as thin as if there is no thickness at all. It is certainly more than enough to run between tissues with gaps with a knife without thickness! So 19 years later, my knife is as good as new. Although my skill has reached this level, I still dare not be careless when dissecting a cow. I'm always careful and absorbed. There is no hurry or too much force when entering the knife. The cow body was solved, and the beef slipped from the skeleton to the ground like a pool of soil. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief, stood there with a knife, looked around, wiped the knife with satisfaction and put it away. "Listen to the beam, said happily," great. After listening to your words, I understand the truth of self-cultivation "

It means that everything in the world has its own laws. If you master the laws of things, you will be able to handle things with ease.

Idioms such as "I can't see the whole cow", "I feel comfortable" and "I am full of ambition" all come from this article. )

2, rickets.

It turned out to be suitable for Chu State. It's a pity to see those rickety ones out of the forest. Zhong Ni said, "What a coincidence! There are evil ways? " He said, "I have an idea. In May and June, tired pills don't fall, and losers bargain; If you are tired of three, you will lose eleven; It's a pity to be tired. I am in the same place, if I am trapped; I grabbed my arm like a branch. Although the world is big, there are many things, but only the wings know; I am not against everything, and I don't want everything to change. Why not? " Confucius pointed to his disciples and said, "Regardless of ambition, it is condensed in God, and those who stoop are called it!"

When Confucius went to Chu, he passed by a forest and saw an old man with a hunchback, holding a long bamboo pole in his hand and inserting cicadas. The old man is very skilled. As long as he wants to stick to cicadas, no one can escape, just like picking up cicadas. Confucius said in surprise, "You are so skilled that there must be a way!" "The hunchback old man said," I do have a method. "When cicadas stick in May and June in summer, if you can put two balls on the top of the bamboo pole to prevent them from falling, cicadas rarely escape when they stick; If you don't drop three cicadas, only one cicada can escape from ten cicadas. Sticking cicadas is as easy as picking things up with your hands if you don't drop five dollars. Look at me standing here, as steady as a rock; I raised my arm, motionless as a dead branch; Although the world around me is boundless, everything in the world is colorful, and I only have cicada wings in my eyes. Nothing outside can distract my attention, nor can it affect my attention to cicada wings. How can I not stick to cicadas? " Hearing this, Confucius turned to his disciples and said, "If you concentrate on your skills, you can practice to perfection. This is what the hunchback old man said! "

It means that if a person can eliminate all external interference, concentrate, study hard and practice hard, he can master an excellent skill.

3. Frog at the bottom of a well

The frog in the well is called the tortoise in the East China Sea and says, "I am very happy with you! Out of the jumping beam, on the shaft, into the rest, on the cliff without jade; If you go to water, you will hold your arms and hold your hands, but mud is not enough to kill cockroaches (F ū); If I fight a gnat, a crab and a family, there is nothing I can do. And my husband is a ravine of water, and he is happy to cross the well. " Mr. Xi comes to see us from time to time! "The turtle in the East China Sea has not entered his left foot, but his right knee has been embarrassed. So he wandered around and said to the sea, "Fuhai, a thousand miles away is not enough to hold it up, and a thousand miles high is not enough to be extremely deep." At that time, ten years and nine years, water benefits; There was seven droughts in eight years in the soup, and the cliff was not damaged. "It is a great pleasure for the East China Sea to wait for a long time and not advance and retreat many times." So the frog in the well was shocked and lost all the rules.

A frog living in a shallow well boasted to a big turtle from the East China Sea, "How happy I am to live here! When you are happy, jump out of the well and climb onto the railing to have fun. When you are tired of playing, go back to the well, hide in the hole on the wall and rest comfortably. When I jumped into the water, the well water only submerged my armpit and gently held my chin; Mud just passed my foot, soft and comfortable. Look at the shrimps, crabs and tadpoles around. No one is as happy as I am. Besides, I own a well water and enjoy it to my heart's content. This kind of life is really beautiful. Why don't you come in and have a look! " The giant turtle accepted the invitation of the well frog and was ready to go to the well to have a look, but its left foot had not stepped in, and its right leg had been caught by the railing by the well, so it had to slowly back off, stand by the well and tell the frog about the wonder of the sea: "How big is the sea?" Even using thousands of miles to describe it can't express its grandeur, and using a mountain as a metaphor can't compare with its depth. In the Yu Xia era, there were nine years of heavy rain and floods in ten years, and the sea level did not rise at all; When I was in Shang Tang, there were seven years of drought in eight years, the ground cracked and the coast didn't drop at all. It will not change because of the length of time, nor will it increase or decrease because of the amount of rainfall. Living in the East China Sea is really happy! "Well frog listened to, surprised for a long time, didn't speak. Only then did it know how small it lived.

This means that if people confine themselves to a narrow world for a long time, they will become short-sighted and complacent.

4, luck becomes wind/artisan luck.

Man's chalk is slow, and his nose is like a fly's wing, which makes the craftsman stone. The craftsman's stone has become a common practice, and it will be heard without hurting the nose and standing without damaging the capacity. Hearing this, Song called the craftsman stone and said, "Give me a try." The craftsman said, "I can taste it." Although, minister quality has been dead for a long time. "

There was a man in Chu who had a little white mud on the tip of his nose, as thin as the wings of a fly. Let a craftsman named Shi cut it down with an axe. When the craftsman waved the axe, he only heard a gust of wind, and his hand fell off the axe. The white mud was cut clean, but his nose was not damaged at all. People who are cut are not afraid at all. When Song heard about this, he called the craftsman Shi and said, "Let me see it again!" " The craftsman stone said, "I can cut it, but those who dare to cut me have been dead for a long time."

It means that no matter what you do, you must have a good partner. If you don't have a good partner, your skills will be hard to play.

5, non-turtle hand medicine

Primitive píng people had the medicine of being kind and not being a turtle (commonly known as "bad" in jūn), and the whole world took it seriously. When the guests hear it, please buy its square hundred gold. Gather the clan and ask for it, saying, "I have lived for so long and only counted a few gold." I learned a hundred gold once, please come with me. " The guest got the news that the king of Wu. The more difficult it is, the more the prince of Wu will do it. In winter, fight with people, defeat people, and crack the ground. If you don't have a turtle hand, or it's sealed, or you can't help it, then you can use a different one.

There was a man in the Song Dynasty who was good at preparing drugs to prevent and treat frozen hands. His family has used this medicine on their hands for generations and made a living by rinsing cotton wool. A foreigner heard about it and asked to buy his prescription. He was willing to pay 120 gold. The Song people called the whole family together to discuss and said, "Our family has been washing cotton for generations, and we can only get a few ounces of gold;" If you sell this prescription now, you can earn 120 gold at once. Just sell it to him! "After the foreigner got the prescription, he gave it to the king of Wu and praised the use of this medicine. At this time, just in time for the civil strife in Yue, the king of Wu sent him to lead the crusade against Yue. In winter, they fought a water war with the Vietnamese army, and the Vietnamese army was defeated. The king of Wu was very happy, so he cut a piece of land for him. This medicine can prevent chapped hands and has the same effect. However, some people use it to get paid, and some people still have to do hard work such as dry rinsing cotton wool, all because of different usage.

Things with the same meaning have different functions because of different horizons and insights. Knowledge can change fate.

6, stupefied

Ji Xunzi raised cockfighting as king. 10 He asked, "Have you finished eating the chicken?" He said: "If you don't do this, you will be arrogant and rely on anger." 10 ask again. "Not yet," he said, "but it should still be reflected." 10 ask again. "Not yet," he said. "I'm still sick and full of pride." 10 ask again. "It's been several days," he said. "Although the chicken crowed, it did not change." Looking like a wooden chicken, full of morality. If the chicken is afraid to respond, it will go away.

There is a gentleman named Ji who raises chickens for the King of Qi. These chickens are not ordinary old hens, but cockfighting that must be trained to participate in the competition. Mr. Ji only kept 10 days, and the king of Qi asked impatiently, "Did you keep it?" Mr. Ji replied: "Not yet. Now these chickens are still very arrogant. "

After 10 days, the king of Qi asked again, and Mr. Ji replied, "Not yet. As soon as they heard the sound and saw the figure shaking, they panicked. "

After another 10 day, the King of Qi came again. Of course, he still cares about his cockfighting. Mr. Ji said: "No, he is still sharp-eyed and domineering."

After 10 days, the King of Qi had given up hope of watching him fight cocks. Unexpectedly, Teacher Ji said this time: "Almost enough. Although the chicken sometimes crows, it doesn't panic. Looks like a chicken made of wood. I'm ready. Other chickens dare not challenge and can only escape. "

It means that if people constantly pursue quick success and instant benefit, they will easily make enemies and hate each other; If we can eliminate the competitive psychology of being eager for success, it is the best policy to defeat our competitors calmly with strength. Today, the idiom "stupefied" is extended to mean very stupid, and it also describes being in a daze because of fear or surprise. )

7. Chaos begins to open

The emperor of the South China Sea is Shu, the emperor of the North China Sea is careless, and the emperor of the Central China is chaotic. Shu and suddenly meet in a chaotic place, and chaos is good for them. Shu He suddenly asked for the virtue of reporting chaos, saying, "Everyone has seven senses: sight, hearing, food and rest, and this is the only one. Try to chisel it. " If you dig a hole during the day, you will die in the chaos on the seventh day.

Our emperor is called Shu, the emperor of Beihai is called Hu, and the emperor of Central Plains is called Chaos. Shu and Hu often meet in chaos, and chaos is good for them. Shu and Hu discuss how to repay the chaotic friendship. They said: "People have seven eyes, ears, nose and mouth, which are used to see, hear, eat and breathe, while chaos has nothing. Let's try to give him seven. " So they dug seven holes for Chaos, one hole a day. On the seventh day, all seven holes were drilled, and Chaos died.

It means that if you don't act according to objective laws, you will do bad things with good intentions.

8, evil expensive beauty cheap

Yoko's original song stayed in the reverse journey. A traveler has two concubines, one is beautiful, the other is evil, evil is expensive, and beautiful is cheap. Yoko asked him why, and the rebellious teenager said to him, "Beauty is self-beauty, and I don't know its beauty; I don't know if evil people are evil. Yang Zi said, "Remember, disciple! Go to the virtuous and go to the virtuous, be safe and not love! "

Yoko went to Song State and stayed in a hotel. The innkeeper has two concubines, one is beautiful and the other is ugly, but the ugly one is favored and the beautiful one is neglected. When Yoko asked him why, the young shopkeeper replied, "the beautiful one thinks she is beautiful, but I don't think she is beautiful;" The ugly one thinks he is ugly, but I don't think he is ugly. " Yoko said, "I remember! I have a good personality, but I think I have a good personality. I will not be respected and loved wherever I go! "

It means that no matter how tall a person is, but because he is arrogant and does not listen to criticism, he will be divorced from the masses and will be despised instead; Although a person's ability is very small, he is respected for his modesty and practicality.

If a person can do noble things and get rid of noble mentality, where will he go to be unpopular? )
