Idiom implication
"He Shibi" returned to Zhao only because of Lin Xiangru's anger. A person's mental state has great control over his body. Under normal circumstances, it is completely impossible to stand up your hair, but it may happen when a person is extremely angry. There are many such situations.
Ji Kang's Theory of Health Preservation in the Three Kingdoms period said: A person wants to sweat after taking medicine, sometimes he can't, but he can't help sweating when he is ashamed; If I don't eat in the morning, I will feel very hungry, but after my mother died, Ceng Zi was so sad that he didn't feel hungry for seven days.
These examples make people understand that to make the body peaceful, we must keep the spirit quiet and empty, and try to avoid being stirred by foreign objects. Anger is like a burning fire in your heart. If you let it burn harder and harder, you will eventually burn yourself. People should not make decisions easily in extreme anger.
Idioms and their stories
Zhao Haoqi Huiwen got a rare jade. This jade was discovered by Bentham of the State of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, so it is called Heshibi. Unexpectedly, this matter was known by Qin, and he wanted to take advantage of it and take Cui as his own. So he wrote to the prince of Zhao on the pretence, expressing his willingness to exchange fifteen cities for this treasure. The prince of Zhao was afraid that the king of Qin would cheat, didn't want to win the lottery, and was afraid of sending troops to attack.
I discussed it with ministers for a long time, but there was no result. Besides, I can't find a messenger who can improvise and go to Qin to negotiate this matter. At this time, Lin Xiangru was recommended to the Prince of Zhao, saying that he was courageous and resourceful and could go to preach. The prince of Zhao summoned him immediately and asked him if he could agree to the request of the king of Qin to exchange Cui for fifteen cities.
Lin Xiangru said, "Qin Guoqiang, we are weaker than Zhao, so we have to agree to this." The king of Zhao said, "The king of Qin got the jade of peace, but he refused to give me fifteen cities. What should I do? " Lin Xiangru said: "The king of Qin made a wish, and if Zhao refused, it would be a loss; And if Zhao gave the jade to the king of Qin, but he refused to pay for the city, it would be that the king of Qin was unreasonable. Comparing the two, I would rather agree to the request of the king of Qin and let him bear unreasonable responsibilities. "
In this way, Lin Xiangru took Cui to the State of Qin. When the King of Qin learned of his arrival, he did not meet him at the court according to the formal etiquette, but very arrogantly summoned Lin Xiangru in his temporary residence. After he took the wall, he was very happy. He read it again and again and handed it to the minister and the concubines.
Lin Xiangru was very angry to see the king of Qin so contemptuous. Seeing that he was only passing on the jade and had no intention of sending it to the city, he stepped forward and said, "This jade still has some minor defects. Please let me show it to the king. " Lin Xiangru stepped back immediately after he got the wall and stood near the post.
He was so angry that his hair stood on end and he put on a hat. He said emotionally: "After consulting with the ministers, Zhao Wang thought that Qin was insatiable and wanted to defraud He Shibi with empty words, so he did not intend to give him to Qin; On my advice, I fasted for five days before being sent here. When I arrived here, the king didn't meet me at the court. After he got the jade, he handed it to the girls and teased me face to face, so I took it back.
If the king wants to bully me, I'd rather hit me on the head with the wall on the pillar. "In that case, the king of Qin had to apologize and promised to fast for five days. But Lin Xiangru expected that the king of Qin would not pay for the city, and privately asked someone to send the jade back to Zhao. When the king of Qin learned of this, he was helpless and had to send Lin Xiangru back to China according to the etiquette.
