The prince of Taihang, 700 miles square, lives in Wan Ren. Ben is in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang.

The fool in Beishan is 90 years old and lives near the mountain. Punish the mountain north, and it is awkward to go in and out. Gathered in the room, he said, "I will try my best to cross the south of Henan and reach Hanyin. Is that all right? " But he assured his wife that he was skeptical, saying, "With your strength, you can't destroy the hills of the county fathers such as Taihang and the palace." What about dirt and stones? "Zayue:" At the end of the Bohai Sea, the north of the hermit. " Then he led his children and grandchildren, carrying the burden of three husbands, knocking on stones and filling the sea and transporting them to the end of the Bohai Sea. Shi Jing, my neighbor's widow, had a man, so she began to help him. Cold and summer are easy to celebrate, and the beginning is to return.

Hequ stopped laughing when he realized his mistake and said, "What a pity. With the strength of age, you can't destroy a hair on the mountain. What are things like dirt and stones? " The foolish old man in Beishan said, "Your heart is firm but not broken. You were never a widow or a weakling. Although I am dead, I have a son; Children have grandchildren, and grandchildren have children; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; There are countless children and grandchildren, but the mountains do not increase. Why bother and injustice? " Hequ died knowing his mistake.

The snake-drying god heard this and was afraid, so he told the emperor. Feeling sincere, the emperor ordered Kwae's second son to take charge of two mountains, one is Shuodong and the other is Yongnan. Since then, the south of Hebei and the yin of Han have never been broken.

[translation]

The 700-mile Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain in Fiona Fang are tens of thousands of feet above sea level. Originally in the south of Jizhou, north of the north bank of the Yellow River.

There is a silly old man in Beishan, who is nearly ninety years old and lives directly opposite two big mountains. Gong Yu was blocked by a road in the north of the mountain, so he had to walk a long way out and in. Call the whole family to discuss and say, "You and I will try our best to dig two mountains south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of Hanshui River, okay?" Everyone agreed. His wife raised a question and said, "With your strength, you can't cut down a mountain like Kuifu. What can you do to Taihang and Wu Wang? " Besides, where do we put the mud and stones? "Everyone said," throw the earth and stone on the edge of the Bohai Sea, north of the Tibetan soil. Then Yugong led his three descendants who could carry heavy burdens, chiseling stones and digging dirt, and transporting them to the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. The neighbor's widow named Beijing has an orphan, who is only seven or eight years old, skipping to help them. Winter and summer change seasons only once.

The mistake of Hequ stopped Gong Yu with a smile and said, "You are so smart. With the strength of your remaining years, even the grass and trees on the mountain can't be destroyed, but what about mud and stones? " Gong Yu of Beishan sighed and said, "You are stubborn and stubborn to the point where you can't change it. You are worse than widows and weak children. Even if I die, I still have a son; Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; Children and grandchildren are inexhaustible, and mountains do not increase. Why worry about digging rough? " There is nothing to answer about knowing beans in a meandering river.

The mountain god who caught the snake heard about it and was afraid that he would continue to dig, so he reported it to the Emperor of Heaven. Touched by his sincerity, the Emperor of Heaven ordered his two sons to carry two mountains, one in the east of Shuofang and the other in the south of Yongzhou. Since then, there have been no mountain obstacles to the south of Jizhou and Hanshui.

go back on one's word

During the Warring States Period, there was an old man who raised monkeys in the State of Song. He keeps many monkeys in the yard. After a long time, the old man and the monkey can communicate and talk.

The old man gives each monkey four chestnuts every morning and evening. A few years later, the old man's economy became less and less affluent, but the number of monkeys increased. He wanted to change the number of chestnuts from eight to seven every day, so he discussed with the monkeys and said:

"Starting today, I will give you three chestnuts every morning and four chestnuts as usual at night. I wonder if you agree? "

Hearing this, the monkeys all thought that one was missing in the morning. So one by one began to squeak, shout and jump around, as if reluctant.

The old man saw this situation, hurriedly changed to say:

"Then I'll give you four in the morning and three in the evening. Is that all right? "

Hearing this, the monkeys thought that Xiaomi had changed from three o'clock in the morning to four o'clock, and rolled happily on the ground as before.

Attachment: The original text of "Changing the Order at Night":

In the Song Dynasty, people who loved to be killed were raised in groups. If you can understand the meaning of being killed, you will also win the hearts of the public. Hurt their families and satisfy their desire to be killed. If you are in a hurry, you will be restricted from eating, for fear that the public will not behave. First, you will say, "If you are in harmony with Mao, it will be full." I'm glad I lay down.

Precautions:

Sniper-Yinju, macaque, the name of a monkey.

Loss-loss means reduction.

Family-the original meaning is population, and here is the meaning of food at home.

Fill-enrich, here means satisfaction.

Russia-in an instant, it means fast, which means time is pressing.

Cavity-the meaning of sound collapse, lack and deficiency.

Tame-the meaning of seeking, taming and obeying.

Kuang-the meaning of sound madness, bullying and cheating.

If-personal pronouns in classical Chinese mean "you" and "you".

Xu Maoyin, acorn, a kind of food.

The original intention of this story is to expose the deception by the public and warn people to pay attention to reality and prevent being deceived by rhetoric. But later, the meaning of this story changed a little, and it was extended to willfulness, which was used to condemn those who often changed their minds and acted irresponsibly.

Ryan asked him for help around Handan, Qin State, and he joined forces with Chu State, with about 20 warriors. Said: "if Wen can win, that would be great." If Wen can't win, he will be killed under the penalty room, and he will definitely pay back the money. Just take it from the diners' door. "Nineteen people, the rest are not desirable, no more than twenty people. A man praised at the door and said, "I heard that you will join hands with Chu. There are about 20 people at the door of the restaurant, that's all." We are short of one person today, so I hope you can go with your staff. " Ping Yuanjun said, "How many years have you won?" Mao Sui said, "Three years have come." Ping Yuanjun said: "A wise man's position in the world is like a cone in a bag, but he can't see its end. Mr. Jin has been under the door of victory for three years. There is nothing to say or hear about victory, but Mr. Jin has nothing. Sir can't, sir. " Mao Sui said, "I ask you to take care of me today. The fleas were caught in the bag, but the eagles came out, not the last thing they saw. " Ping Yuanjun unexpectedly joined Mao Sui. Nineteen people smiled at each other and didn't waste it.

Mao Sui compared Chu State and discussed with 19 people, and 19 people were convinced. He is in harmony with Chu and says they are interested. Just do it at sunrise, and the day is uncertain. Nineteen people called Mao Sui and said, "Sir." Mao Sui went up the ladder with a sword in his hand and said to Ping Yuanjun, "Make good use of this opportunity and make a decision in two words. If you say it today, you can't make a decision between Japan and China. Why? " The king of Chu said to Ping Yuanjun, "Who is the guest?" Ping Yuanjun said, "It's the one who won." The king of Chu rebuked him and said, "Hu can't go on!" I am talking to you, you are you! " Mao Sui pressed his sword and said, "The reason why the king blamed him is the Chu people. Within ten paces, this king can't rely entirely on the Chu people, but his life is in his hands. Who is angry when my king is in front? Then I heard that Tang was the king of the world in the land of seventy miles, and King Wen was a vassal in the land of one hundred miles. Are you outnumbered, and you can really fight for it according to its potential? Today, Chu is five thousand miles away, with a halberd of one million, and it is the capital of overlord. With the power of Chu, the world is available. Tian Lei took a small vertical ear and led tens of thousands of people to start fighting with Chu. In the first world war, I gave a slap in the face and then burned Yiling. In World War III, he humiliated the king's ancestors. Chair Zhao is ashamed of this eternal hatred, but Wang Fu knows its evil. The follower is Chu, not Chu. Who is angry when my king is in front? " The king of Chu said, "I am passive. As Mr. Wang said, I sincerely serve my country and follow it." Mao Sui said, "Do you have the final say?" King Chu said, "That's settled." Mao Sui said to the king of Chu, "Take the blood of chickens, dogs and horses." The king of Chu, kneeling on the copper plate, said, "The king should be determined by blood, and my king will be next." So I decided to follow the temple. Holding a dish of blood in his left hand, Mao Sui summoned 19 people in his right hand and said, "The public is mourning this drop of blood in the hall. What is recorded by the public, the so-called people have achieved something. "

Said: "I have decided to return to Zhao, and I can't go back to the fortune teller. There are thousands of winners, ranging from a few hundred. People who think they can't lose the world are all lost by Mr. Mao. When Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, Zhao was more important than Jiuding Road. Teacher Mao's golden tongue is better than a million teachers. I won't dare to go back to my face. " I thought I was a guest.

When the state of Qin besieged Handan, Zhao sent for help from Zhao, and signed an "alliance" covenant in Chu. Ping Yuanjun agreed to go with 20 brave diners. Ping Yuanjun said: "It would be great if we can succeed by peaceful means; If the peaceful method fails, then (I) will use the method of "bloodletting" under the palace, and we must sign the Covenant of "alliance" before we can go back. Attendants don't look outside, they just choose from the diners under the door. " Ping Yuanjun found nineteen people, and the rest had nothing to choose from, so there was no way to fill twenty people. A man named Mao Sui recommended himself and said, "I heard that Mr. Wang is going to the State of Chu to sign an agreement and agreed to take twenty diners there. Don't look around. One person is still missing. I hope that Teacher Wang will start with the number of people (me)! " Ping Yuanjun said, "How many years has it been since you came to Zhao Sheng?" Mao Sui said, "It has been three years now." Ping Yuanjun said: "A wise scholar in the world is like an awl in a bag, and its tip will be revealed immediately. Now, I have been under Zhao Shengmen for three years, and no one around me has praised you. Zhao Sheng (I) has never heard such a compliment, because (you) have no talent. Sir can't (go together), sir, please stay! " Mao Sui said, "I only asked to enter the bag today. If I were in the bag, (I) would show the whole edge, not just the top, just like the sharp awn of the wheat ear. " Ping Yuanjun finally went to Chu with Mao Sui. Nineteen people looked at each other and laughed at him, but they didn't say it.

Mao Sui went to Chu State and talked with nineteen people, all of whom were deeply impressed. And Chu discussed the Covenant of "vertical integration" and (repeatedly) explained the benefits of "vertical integration". As soon as the sun came out, they explained these principles. When the sun is in the sky, they have not decided yet. Nineteen people said to Mao Sui, "Sir, go up!" Holding the hilt, Mao Sui climbed the steps and said to Ping Yuanjun: The stakes of "vertical integration" can be determined in two sentences. As soon as the sun comes out today, we will talk about "combination", but we can't make a decision until noon. Why? The king of Chu said to Ping Yuanjun, "What does this man do?" Ping Yuanjun said: "This is (me) Zhao Sheng's Scheeren." "Why don't you go down?" The king of Chu thundered. I'm talking to your monarch. What do you do? Mao Sui came forward with the hilt in his hand and said, "Your Majesty dared to reprimand Mao Sui because there are so many Chu people. Now, within ten steps, the king (you) can't rely on the power of Chu, and his life is in (my) hands. My monarch is in sight. Why did (you) scold (me)? In addition, (I) heard that the Tang dynasty unified the world with a land of 70 miles, and the king of Wen made the princes obey with a land of 100 miles. Is it because there are many foot soldiers? It is really because (they) can exert their strength according to their own conditions. Today, there are millions of soldiers with halberds in Chu, five thousand miles away in Fiona Fang. This is the overlord inheritance! With the power of Chu, the world is irresistible. Tian Lei is just a small shaft. He led tens of thousands of troops to fight against Chu, won Yan and Yong in World War I, burned Yiling in World War II, and insulted the first king in World War III. This is the revenge of one hundred generations, and it is a shameful thing for Zhao, and Wang is shameless. "Lian" is for Chu, not for Zhao. My monarch is in sight. Why are you scolding me? " The king of Chu said, "Yes, yes! In fact, as Mr. Wang said, we are willing to conclude an "alliance" Covenant with our country. "Mao Sui asked: Has the" Alliance "Covenant been decided?" King Chu said, "That's settled." So Mao Sui said to the people around the king of Chu, "Take the blood of chickens, dogs and horses." Mao Sui knelt down, took a copper coin and presented it to the king of Chu, saying, "The king of Chu will bleed to sign an alliance, followed by my ministers and Mao Sui." So Mao Sui signed an "alliance" contract in the palace. Mao Sui held a copper coin and blood in his left hand, and called the 19 man in his right hand and said, "Gentlemen are bleeding one after another under the hall. Gentleman is mediocre. This is what people call people who rely on others to get things done. "

After signing the Covenant, Ping Yuanjun returned to Zhao and said, "I (Zhao Sheng) dare not choose talents again. Zhao Sheng (I) selected talents, ranging from thousands to hundreds, thinking that he had not lost all the talents in the world; I lost it here with teacher Mao today. As soon as Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, he made Zhao's prestige higher than Jiuding and Dalu. Mr. Mao's golden tongue is better than a million troops. Zhao Sheng (I) dare not choose talents again. " So he regarded Mao Sui as a guest of honor.

At the beginning, Sun Quan said to Lv Meng, "You are in charge now, not to study!" ! "Lv Mengyong army has all kinds of excuses. "Do you want to be a doctor alone? But when you dabble, you talk too much when you see the past. Is this loneliness? I often study alone, and I think it is very beneficial. " Lumeng began to study.

I often read books and feel that I have gained a lot. " So Lumeng began to study.

After Lu Su found Yang, he discussed military affairs with him. He was very surprised and said, "Your talents and strategies are no longer the Amon of Wu!" Lu Meng said: "Scholars should look at each other with different eyes after being absent for three days. Why do most brothers change their minds so late! Lu Su went to see his mother again, made friends with her, and then said goodbye. "。

Finish sth at one go

In the spring of ten years, the army of Qi attacked our country of Lu. Duke Zhuang is going to fight. The king asked to see Lord Zhuang. His fellow countryman said, "People in power will plan this. Why do you want to participate?" ? ""Those in power are short-sighted and unable to think deeply, "Cao Gui said." Then they went to the court to see the duke. "What are you fighting for?" Cao Gui asked. Zhuang Gong said, "I never dare to know what to eat and wear. I must give it to the ministers around me." Cao Gui replied, "This little favor cannot be extended to the people, and the people will not obey you. Zhuang Gong said, "I never dare to exaggerate the number of pigs, sheep, jade articles, silks and so on. I must tell God the truth." . Cao Gui said: "Mix has no credit and cannot be trusted by the gods. The gods will not bless you." . "."Zhuang Gong said, "Even if you can't see all the litigation cases in Mix, I must be based on facts." Yes: "Loyalty belongs to you. You can go to war. Please follow the war. "

Multiply it. Fight for a long spoon. Zhuang Gongzheng wants to order drums. "Not now," said Cao Gui. "Wait until after Qi Jun drummed three times. Cao Gui said, "You can play the drums. "."Qi Jun was completely defeated. Their duke ordered the horse to be chased by the horse. "Not now," said Cao Gui. Then he got off the chariot, looked at the tracks of Qi Jun's wheels, climbed on the chariot, supported the front railing of the chariot and looked at Qi Jun's formation, and said, "We can pursue. "."So, the pursuit of Qi Jun was pursued.

After winning, the king asked him why he won. He said: "It takes courage to fight. High spirits, then decline, three exhausted. I am exhausted and profitable, so I will beat it, and my husband will be a big country, which is unpredictable and terrible. I regard it as chaos and look at its flag, so I chase it. "

In the spring of the tenth year of Duke Zhuang of Lu, the Qi army attacked Lu. Duke Zhuang of Lu is ready to fight. Cao Gui asked for an interview. His fellow countryman said, "They are all high-ranking people with rich salaries. Why should they participate?" Cao Gui said: "Powerful people are short-sighted, lack knowledge and cannot see far." So the court went to visit Duke Zhuang of Lu. Cao Gui asked, "Why are you fighting?" Duke Zhuang said, "I dare not have clothes and food for my health, so I have to give it to a courtier." Cao Gui replied: "Small favors have not affected ordinary people, and ordinary people will not listen." Duke Zhuang said, "Don't dare to make false reports about the sacrificial cows, sheep, pigs, jade and silks. You must tell God sincerely." Cao Gui replied: "This little sincerity cannot be trusted by God, and God will not bless it." Zhuang Gong said: "Even if I am not good at scrutiny, I should handle cases with different severity according to the facts." Cao Gui replied, "This is something that I have done my duty. You can use this condition to fight a war. If you want to fight, please allow me to follow. "

Zhuang Gong sat with him in a chariot. The armies of Lu and Qi are fighting with spoons. Duke Zhuang intends to drum and order the March. Cao Gui said, "No." Qi played drums three times. Cao Gui said, "You can attack." The Qi army was defeated. Zhuang Gong wants to drive after him. Cao Gui said, "No." So he looked down at the marks left by the wheels of the Qi army, boarded the crossbar in front of the car, looked at the Qi army and said, "That's enough." I pursued the Qi army.

After defeating the Qi army, Zhuang Gong asked the reason. Cao Gui replied, "Fighting depends on courage. The first drum beat inspired courage, the second drum beat suppressed courage, and the third drum beat destroyed courage. Their courage disappeared, and our army was full of courage, so we defeated them. A big country is hard to estimate, and it is afraid of an ambush. I saw that their tracks were chaotic and their flags were falling, so I went after the Qi army. "

Panic about the shadow of the bow in the cup-fear of the shadow

Chen called on the master book and gave him wine. There is a red crossbow hanging on the north wall, shining on the cup like a snake. I'm afraid of evil, but I dare not drink it. On that day, you will have chest and abdomen pain, which is harmful to your diet. You should attack all targets with dew, not cure them.

Later, Chen went to Xuanjia because of something and peeped to ask about his changes. He said, "If you are afraid of this snake, it will enter your stomach." Chen is still listening, thinking for a long time and looking at the crossbow. It must be. At this time, there was a bell outside the door, and Xu Jiang announced it in the old place and set up wine. There is a snake in the cup. Because he said, "the crossbow shadow on this wall is not his fault." The announcement of the solution was embarrassing, so it was flat.
