Once upon a time in the state of Qi, there was a man who was timid and a little neurotic. He often thinks of some strange questions, but

It makes people feel inexplicable.

One day after dinner, he sat at the door with a big cattail leaf fan and assessed his future, saying to himself:

"If one day, the sky falls, what should I do? We have no way out, we will only be crushed to death alive.

Is it too wrong to die? "

Since then, he has been worried about this problem almost every day, and his friends have seen him in a trance all day long and his face is haggard.

Worried about him, but when everyone knew the reason, they all came to persuade him to say:

"Dude! Why bother yourself about it? How can the sky fall? Said that even if it did fall,

That can't be solved by you alone. Relax! "

However, no matter what others say, he doesn't believe it, and he will always worry about this unnecessary problem.

Later, according to the above story, people extended the idiom "worrying about the sky", whose main meaning is to wake people up.

Children should not worry about some unrealistic things. It has roughly the same meaning as "much ado about nothing"

Decorate yourself with borrowed feathers

During the Warring States period, when Chu was at its strongest, he was afraid of his general Zhao for the sake of the northern country at that time.

Xi's t-shirt, and feel strange. So he asked the North Korean minister why.

At that time, a minister named Jiang Yi told him the following story:

"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 place,

When I was in the dense forest, I suddenly saw a fox walking in front of me. He thinks this is a golden opportunity.

Yes, he jumped over and caught him effortlessly.

But when it opened its mouth to eat the fox, the sly fox suddenly spoke:

Hum! Don't think that you are the king of beasts and dare to swallow me; You know, heaven and earth ordered me to be king.

Your Majesty, whoever eats me will be severely punished by heaven and earth. The tiger listened to the fox with a grain of salt.

However, when he tilted his head and saw the fox's arrogant and calm appearance, he was shocked. The original arrogance.

And I don't know when most of them disappeared. Even so, he thought to himself: I am one hundred.

The king of beasts, so any beast in the world will be afraid to see me. And he, it turned out, was ordered by Emperor Fengtian to rule us!

At this time, the fox saw that the tiger hesitated to eat, and knew that he had already believed him a little.

So he stood proudly, then pointed to the tiger's nose and said,' What, don't you believe what I said?

Really? 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.

Running around. The tiger thought it was a good idea and did it.

So the fox swaggered ahead and the tiger followed carefully. They didn't leave much.

For a long time, I vaguely saw the depths of the forest, where many small animals were fighting for food, but when they found themselves walking behind the fox.

The tiger was in front of him, and he couldn't help but be frightened to disgrace and ran away.

At this moment, the fox turned to look at the tiger proudly. Seeing this situation, the tiger can't help but feel a little scared.

But he didn't know that wild animals were afraid of themselves, and he thought they were really afraid of foxes!

The cunning fox's plan succeeded, but his strength was entirely due to the tiger's disguise, which enabled him to threaten in a favorable situation at this moment.

Threatening the beast and the poor tiger to be fooled and not knowing it!

Therefore, the people in the north are afraid of Zhao Xi's shirt simply because the king's soldiers are in his hands, that is to say.

Say, what they are afraid of is actually the power of the king! "

From the above story, we can know that anyone oppresses others by virtue of the power of authority or the power of position.

Anyone who acts arrogantly can be described as "Smith".

better late than never

This story comes from the Warring States Policy. During the Warring States Period, there was a minister in the State of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Chu Xiang:

"When you are in the palace, state affairs are on the left and Xiahou is on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time.

Youyou and these four people pay special attention to luxury and debauchery. Regardless of state affairs, Ying (Chu capital, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) is one of them.

It must be dangerous! "

Wang Xiang was very dissatisfied and scolded angrily, "Are you crazy? Deliberately saying these insidious words to confuse people? "

Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly: "I really feel that things must come to this, and I dare not deliberately say anything about Chu."

Unfortunately. If you always cherish this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to find Zhao.

Hide and see what happens. "

Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao Guocai for five months, and the State of Qin invaded Chu, and Wang Xiang was forced into exile in Yangcheng (now Xixian County, Henan Province).

North). Only then did I feel that Zhuang Xin's words were good, so I quickly sent someone to get Zhuang Xin back and asked him what he could do. ZhuangXin very sincerely say:

"I heard that it's not too late to see rabbit teeth and think of hounds; It's not too late to mend the sheepfold after the sheep have run away. ……"

This is a very meaningful story. You only know how to have fun, not how to do things. The result must be a painful loss.

There is no doubt about failure.

The idiom "Better late than never" is based on the above two sentences, expressing that after handling things wrong,

If you hurry to save it, it's not too late. For example, a career criminal misjudges the development of things and takes risks lightly.

Fall into a state of failure. But he was not discouraged. He patiently reconsidered things and learned from this mistake.

Training, I feel that "better late than never", it is not too late to start from scratch!

Now we should learn lessons, correct our mistakes and strive for strength.

In this idiom story, Zhuang Xin is a native of Jinan (now Jingzhou), the capital of Chu, and a descendant of Chu Zhuangwang, the famous king of Chu. He devoted his whole life to Geng Jie, and was the minister of King Xiang of Chu. At first, he was not valued by Wang Xiang. After remonstrating with Wang Xiang in Qi Li, he won the trust of Wang Xiang and made him Yang Lingjun, and his fief was now in Huaibei.

lay exposed/open to attacks on all sides

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang originally agreed to take the east and west of the gorge (in present-day Rongxian County, Jia Luhe) as the boundary, and they did not invade each other. After ...

Liu Bang listened to He's suggestion and thought that Xiang Yu should be killed while he was weak, and then he and Han Xin and Liu.

Jia Huihe's pursuers are heading eastward to Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu)

Xiang Yu leads troops. Finally, several layers of troops were arranged to tightly surround Xiang Yu (in the southeast of Lingbi County, Anhui Province). this

At that time, Xiang Yu had few soldiers and no food. In the evening, I heard the troops around him singing about the people of Chu.

Song was shocked and said, "Has Liu Bang been forbidden?

Why are there so many Chu people in his army? "Say, the in the mind has lost the fight, then get out of bed, in

Drinking in the camp; Sing with his favorite concubine Yu Ji. I cried after singing, and everyone around me was very uncomfortable.

However, I feel that I can't lift my head. After a while, Xiang Yu got on his horse and escaped from the south with only 800 cavalry. Border escape

Fight and fight, and commit suicide in Wujiang River.

Because there is a story in this story that Xiang Yu was surprised to hear the songs of Chu songs around him, and then committed suicide, so

Later, people will use "besieged on all sides" to describe the personnel environment in which people are attacked or persecuted from all directions, resulting in being trapped.

An isolated and embarrassing situation.

Anyone caught in this situation often has a tragic fate. For example, some people often associate with bad people and accomplish nothing.

Production, idle; But later, it broke the despair of those bad guys. When they ask others for help, others should follow their usual behavior.

It's too bad. I never sympathize with or pay attention to it. This person's situation is "besieged on all sides". Another example is discussing academic issues at school.

Its students are unlearned (idiom, meaning unlearned)

When students get up and attack, they are completely isolated, which can also be called

"Embattled" in our life course, in our daily life, be a good person and do it down to earth.
