Idioms and their stories

At that time, there was a scholar in the state of Chu, surnamed Bo, who was famous and elegant. He likes playing the piano very much. He learned it from a gentleman named Liancheng when he was a child. Boya is brilliant and has made great progress in piano, but it is difficult to capture the charm of music.

One day, the teacher said to Boya, "Do you want me to take you to a fairy teacher to enlighten you?"

Happily agreed and took Qin to Penglai Mountain in the East China Sea by boat. The teacher told him to sit down and rest and go to the teacher himself.

Boya is in this tall and lush Shan Ye, but she hasn't seen her teacher come back for a long time, so she looks along a mountain road. Bypassing a hill, I don't want to see a strange sight hanging in front of me: it's really a waterfall in the clouds, a clear spring in the fog, a splash like pearls, and a sound echoing like Yue Xian. Boyaton felt that his eyes were wide open and his inspiration surged, so he sat on the floor and played the piano, which became a wonderful piece of music. Suddenly, the teacher's voice came from behind: "Ha ha, ha ha ... you found an immortal teacher."

Boya suddenly realized that the teacher was talking about nature. According to legend, two guqin songs, Shuixiancao and Mountain Flowing Water, were written by Boya at that time. Since then, his piano skills have reached a state of perfection, but he has never found a bosom friend.

Later, Boya went to Jin State to become a doctor. One day, he was ordered to go to Chu. Because of the strong wind, we had to stop at the mouth of Hanyang River. After a calm, a Mid-Autumn Moon wandered out of the clouds. Boya stood at the bow, looked up at the bright moon, looked down at the water waves on the river, and the piano sounded one after another, so he played. At the end of the song, a woodcutter suddenly jumped out of the grass. He was surprised at Boya's piano skills.

Bo Ya was surprised and asked, "You can play the piano. Can you know the pros and cons of the piano? "

Boya and Wei Zi (6 pieces)

The woodcutter looked at the piano and replied, "This piano is called a lyre. It's made in Fu, and it's made from the middle part of a good mulberry tree. Its tree must be three feet high and cut into three sections. The sound in the upper section is too clear, and the sound in the lower section is too turbid, only in the middle section, with both clarity and turbidity. After that, the wood was soaked in water for 72 days. On a good day, it was carved into a musical instrument. At first, this piano had five strings, the outside was gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the inside was palace, business, horn, sign and feather. Later, Zhou Wenwang added a string called Wen Xian, and Zhou Wuwang added a string called Wu Xian. Therefore, this piano is also known as the Wu Wen lyre. "

Hearing this, Boya was completely convinced, and then he tuned his strings and played the piano again, sometimes majestic and sometimes comfortable and smooth. From time to time, the woodcutter said, "Well, I am as tall as Mount Tai." Sometimes he said, "Good! The ocean is like a river. "

Boya was overjoyed. He gave the piano a push and saluted. He asked, "Wise man of the world, what's your name?" The woodcutter returned the gift and said, "My surname is Zhong, which is a mean word." Boya sighed. "We all know each other all over the world, but how many people can know each other?" That is, the boy was ordered to burn incense and light candles and become brothers with the child. Next Mid-Autumn Festival, we will meet again here.

The following Mid-Autumn Festival, Boya arrived as scheduled. Who had expected that at this time, he was separated from his good friend Yin and Yang, and his son had left him. Boya played a song "Mountain Stream and Running Water" at the grave of the little chef of Hippo, and cried at the touch of the piano. At the end of the song, the string was broken with a knife. Looking up at the sky again, he sighed, "Who am I playing for when my bosom friend is away?" After that, the piano hit the altar and the string was broken. Later generations felt it, and built a piano platform at Guishanwei and Yuehu Lake in Hanyang as a souvenir.

According to records, Boyatai was built in the Northern Song Dynasty, rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, and restored after liberation. There is the word "Qintai" on the front of the stele gallery, which is said to have been written by calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty. Nowadays, Boya terraces, which have experienced wind and rain, have become an important scenic spot in Hanyang. The hall is resplendent and magnificent. In front of the hall is a piano platform made of white marble, which is said to be Boya's violin. When you stand quietly in the distance, among the lakes, mountains and flowers, you will see four words written on the forehead of the gate of the stele gallery: high mountains and flowing water. It has become a call, echoing in our ears forever!

Qin Le's interpretation.

Guqin music During the Warring States Period, there was a story of Qin Le about high mountains and flowing water, so it was also said that "high mountains and flowing water" was written by Boya. The music score was first seen in The Secret Music of the Ming Dynasty (written by Zhu Quan at 1425). The solution of this score is: "Mountain Flowing Water is two songs, but there is only one. The first ambition is to care about mountains and rivers, saying that benevolent people are Leshan. The ambition of the future is to care about running water, which means that the wise are happy with water. The Tang dynasty is divided into two songs, regardless of section. The highest mountain is divided into four sections and eight sections of flowing water. " For more than 2,000 years, two famous guqin songs, Mountain and Running Water, together with the story of Boya guqin meeting a bosom friend, have been widely circulated among the people.

contradictory

This idiom comes from Han Feizi Nan Yi.

In ancient times, spears and shields were both weapons used in combat. Spears are used to kill enemies, and shields are used to protect the body from being stabbed by the opponent's spears.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a man selling weapons in Chu State, selling spears and shields in the market. In order to make people willing to buy his goods, he first raised his shield and boasted to people, "Look, my shield is the strongest shield in the world, and nothing sharp can pierce it." Then he raised his spear and boasted to people, "Look at my spear again. Extremely sharp and invincible. No hard shield can stop it. I can wear it soon! "

Onlookers were amused by his words. Someone in the crowd asked, "According to you, no matter how hard your shield is, your spear can penetrate, and no matter how sharp your spear is, your shield can't penetrate." Then stab your shield with your spear and see what the result is. "

The weapon seller was tongue-tied and couldn't answer, so he left with a spear and shield.

"Self-contradiction" evolved from this story. Nowadays, people use it to describe the contradiction in doing things.

better late than never

During the Warring States Period, there was a minister in the State of Chu named Zhuang Xin. One day, he said to King Xiang of Chu: "When you were in the palace, Zhou Hou was on the left and Xiahou was on the right; When you went out, Yan Lingjun and Shou Jing Jun followed you all the time. You and these four people are very particular about luxury and debauchery. Regardless of national events, Ying (Chu capital, in the north of jiangling county, Hubei Province) will be in danger! "

Wang Xiang was very unhappy after hearing this. He got angry and scolded, "Are you crazy? Deliberately saying these insidious words to confuse people? "

Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly: "I really think things must come to this, and I dare not deliberately say that Chu has any misfortune."

If you always cherish this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to hide in Zhao and see what will happen. "Zhuang Xin lived in Zhao for five months, and Qin really invaded Chu and was forced into exile in Yangcheng (now northwest of Xixian County, Henan Province). 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.

Nine Idiom Stories Related to Learning

A hole was drilled in the wall to get light from the neighbor's house.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there was a farmer's child named Kuang Heng. He wanted to study very much when he was a child, but because his family was poor, he couldn't afford to go to school. Later, he learned to read from a relative before he could read.

Kuang Heng can't afford books, so he has to borrow books to read. At that time, books were so valuable that people who had books refused to lend them to others easily. During the busy farming season, Kuang Heng worked as a short-term worker for wealthy families and asked them to lend him books for free.

A few years later, Kuang Heng grew up and became the main labor force in the family. He works in the field all day, and only has time to read a little book during his lunch break, so it often takes ten days and a half months to finish reading a book. Kuang Heng was in a hurry, thinking: planting crops during the day, no time to read, you can spend more time reading at night. But Kuang Heng's family is too poor to buy oil for lighting. What should we do?

One night, Kuang Heng was lying in bed reciting the books he had read during the day. Behind me, I suddenly saw a light coming through the east wall. He stood up and walked to the wall. It turned out that the neighbor's lights came through the cracks in the wall. So Kuang Heng thought of a way: he picked up a knife and dug several cracks in the wall. In this way, the light coming through is also very big, so he gathered the light coming through and began to read.

Kuang Heng studied so hard that he became a learned man.

Reading with the light of fireflies in bags or the reflected light of snow-pursuing knowledge under difficult conditions

The idiom "firefly reflecting snow" refers to Che Yin in Jin Dynasty. He was poor and had no money to buy lamp oil, but he wanted to study at night, so he caught a firefly as a lamp and studied at summer night. Snow-reflecting is a way of reading in winter nights in Sun Kang in Jin Dynasty by using the light reflected by snow.

In the Jin Dynasty, Che Yin was always eager to study, but because of his poor family, his father could not provide him with a good learning environment. In order to maintain food and clothing, there is no extra money to buy him lamp oil for evening study. To this end, he can only use this time during the day to recite poems.

One night in summer, he was reciting an article in the yard when he suddenly saw many fireflies flying at low altitude. The flashing light is a bit dazzling in the dark. He thought, if you put many fireflies together, wouldn't it become a lamp? So, he went to find a white silk bag, immediately caught dozens of fireflies and put them in, then tied the mouth of the bag and hung it up. It's not very bright, but it can be used for reading. From then on, as long as there are fireflies, he will catch one to use as a lamp. Because he studied hard and practiced hard, he finally became an official in a high position.

The same is true of Sun Kang in the same dynasty. Because I have no money to buy lamp oil, I can't read at night, so I have to go to bed early. He felt it a pity to let time pass in vain.

One night in the middle of the night, he woke up from his sleep, turned his head out of the window and found a ray of light in the window. It turned out to be a reflection of heavy snow, which can be used for reading. So he was so tired that he immediately got dressed, took out his book and went outside. The snow reflected on the wide earth is much brighter than the snow in the room. Sun Kang ignored the cold and immediately read a book. His hands and feet were frozen stiff, so he got up and ran, rubbing his fingers at the same time. From then on, every snowy night, he never missed this good opportunity and studied tirelessly. This spirit of hard work has promoted his knowledge to advance by leaps and bounds and become a knowledgeable person. Later, he became a big official.

Tie your hair to the beam and poke your thigh with an awl to stay awake ―― study hard/diligently.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Sun Jing, a famous politician. At first, because of his shallow knowledge, he was not reused, and even his family looked down on him, which made him determined to study hard, often behind closed doors, and kept reading alone. Reading from morning till night every day, often forgetting to eat and sleep. After studying for a long time, I am tired, but I still don't rest. After a long time, I was too tired to doze off. Afraid of affecting his study, he came up with a special method. In ancient times, men had long hair. He found a rope and tied it firmly to the beam. When he is tired of reading, he dozes off. When his head is lowered, the rope will hold his hair and hurt his scalp, wake up immediately and continue to study.

This is the story of Sun Jing's hanging beam.

During the Warring States Period, there was a man named Su Qin, who was also a famous politician. When I was young, because of the lack of knowledge, I went to many places to do things and was not taken seriously. After returning home, his family was also very cold and looked down on him. It means a lot to him. So, he made up his mind to study hard. He often studies late into the night, is very tired, often takes a nap and wants to sleep. So he thought of a way, prepared an awl and stabbed himself in the thigh when he dozed off. In this way, I suddenly felt pain, woke up by myself, and then insisted on reading. This is the story of Su Qin's "stabbing stocks".

Study hard

Books in the Spring and Autumn Period were mainly made of bamboo. Bamboo is broken into bamboo sticks, called bamboo slips, then dried with fire and written on them. Bamboo slips have a certain length and width, and a bamboo slip can only write one line, ranging from dozens to eight or nine. A book needs a lot of bamboo slips, which must be woven together with strong ropes and the like before it can be read. Books like Yi, of course, are made of many bamboo slips, so they have considerable weight.

Kong Qiu spent a lot of energy reading the Book of Changes and basically understood its contents. I quickly read it for the second time and grasped its basic points. Then, he read it for the third time and had a thorough understanding of its spiritual essence. Later, in order to study the book deeply and explain it to his disciples, he read it many times. After reading this way, the cowhide belt of serial bamboo slips has been worn off several times, and it has to be replaced with a new one and reused many times.

Even after reading these, Confucius said modestly, "If I were allowed to live a few more years, I would fully master the text and quality of the Book of Changes."

Reading while herding cattle, the cattle have their own books hanging on their horns.
