Four-word idioms with profound meanings (how many idioms with amazing meanings do you know)

Throughout the history of literature in China for thousands of years, idioms have an important position, and they are often the crystallization of people's wisdom. Idiom is a major feature of China traditional culture. It has a fixed structure and a fixed saying, which indicates certain significance. A large part is passed down from ancient times, representing a story or allusion. Today, Xiao K will give you an inventory of idioms that are rarely used but have amazing meanings.

Lanyin Flocculent Fruit Lanyin Flocculated Fruit can actually be divided into two parts: "Lanyin" and "Flocculated Fruit". "Lanyin" was first seen in the Book of Changes: two people are United and benefit; The difference between one thought and another. The word "LAN" here means that Qi Xin and his wife are together, very beautiful and happy.

Later, I saw in Zuo Zhuan's Three Years of Gong Xuan that at the beginning, Zheng Wen's concubines were named Wei Yan, Dream Angel and Ji Lan. According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zheng Wen, the monarch of the State of Zheng, had a concubine. She is unknown and can't be loved by the monarch. One day in a dream, she dreamed that a fairy gave her an orchid and said, "Everyone loves orchids. If you wear them all the time, the world will love you as much as Ailan. " Since then, she has been wearing orchids, and soon she was favored by Zheng Wengong. From then on, "Lanyin" represents a harmonious and happy relationship between husband and wife.

What does "fruit" mean? This word comes from Xie Daowen's poem "If catkins don't rise because of the wind", so Xie Daowen is called a talented woman. Catkin, blown away by the wind, is a metaphor for marriage, which is the end of divorce and breakup.

So this idiom means that a man and a woman are happily married at first and eventually divorce. I remember knowing each other and being committed to each other, but I couldn't escape the fruit of Lan Yin after all.

Yu Yun's "Yu Yun" hides Baoyu in a wooden box, while ""is waiting for a high price to sell. It was first published in The Analects of Confucius Zi Han: "Is there a beautiful jade hidden in the coffin and sought after by good Jia?" "Baba" means putting things in the cupboard. Zi Gong said to the teacher, there is a beautiful jade, is it hidden in the cupboard, or should those businessmen who know the goods sell it? Do you want to hide or sell? Meiyu is often used to express a gentleman's gentle and jade-like character. A gentleman is not unwilling to do things for the world, but waiting for someone who understands a gentleman.

Later, Shi Yukun of the Qing Dynasty wrote in Chapter 89 of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousnesses": "That means that Yu Yun is waiting for a price."

Now it is a metaphor for waiting for talents or retiring talents.

Hao Shou's poverty sutra was first seen in Han Wo's Poem of Giving a Step of Cuichu River in the Tang Dynasty: "Bai Shou is poor and secret, and Qingshan is in danger of old age."

Later, from the story about Zhang Teli recorded in the History of Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Teli was familiar with the Book of Changes and insisted on self-cultivation. Although he is over 70 years old, he still studies classics and teaches students. The ancestor Kublai Khan admired Zhang Teli very much, and gave three imperial edicts to praise his studious spirit of never too old to learn.

For the first time, sai-jo gave Zhang Teli an imperial edict: Zhang Teli, a former imperial adviser, has been cultivating himself for decades, and now he is nearly 70 years old. He is still absorbed in studying Confucian classics and should be given a good name to carry forward his virtues. He was specially awarded the title of "Mr. stingy" In addition, he added: Mr. Wang Lao has bad eyes and is inconvenient to travel. Please ask the minister to send a letter and name the study "Li Ze".

The second time, Sai-jo issued an imperial edict to Zhang Teli: Bai Shou was an example for scholars to learn from because he was not proficient in Confucian classics and was tireless in teaching others; I gave a beautiful name before, and now I express the same meaning again.

Sai-jo handed down the imperial edict for the third time after Zhang Teli's death. Zhang Teli died at the age of 75. The imperial edict said: Mr. Zhong Yong has a history of learning and noble behavior. Although he has gone through troubled times, he has never changed the principle of being a man; Mr. Wang's death is sad; Give the previous name again to show respect.

The idiom "Watch and Kill Wei Jun" comes from the biography of Wei Jie in the Book of Jin: "The people in the capital heard his appearance and the audience was blocked. Jun was seriously ill, and he died in Yongjia for six years, at the age of 27. At that time, people said that you were killed. "

Although Wei Jie looks handsome, he has been in poor health and very weak. Because he studies all day, he consumes energy, and because he wants to escape from the crowd watching him, he consumes physical strength all day. Finally, one day he fell ill and died after a period of treatment. After Wei Jie died, people said that he was watched to death, so the word "watch and kill Wei Jun" came into being.

This idiom is now used to describe a person who is outstanding in appearance or admired by the masses.

The idiom "Fu Fen He Lang" comes from Liu Yiqing's Shi Shuo Xin Yu Rong Zhi in the Southern Song Dynasty: "Uncle He Ping is beautiful and fair-faced, but Wei Mingdi thinks he is rich and fragrant. Xia Yue, there are hot soup cakes. Now that I am sweating, I will wipe my body with a red coat and turn to be anxious. "

To make peace, a native of Nanyang (now Nanyang, Henan Province) during the Cao Wei period of the Three Kingdoms, was outstanding in talent, handsome in appearance, fond of dressing up, and had a delicate and fair face, which was unparalleled. Therefore, Wei Mingdi suspected that his face was covered with a thick layer of white powder. Once, on a hot day, Wei Mingdi invited someone to look for him and gave him hot noodle soup. After a while, he was sweating profusely and had to wipe his sweat with his own clothes. But after he wiped the sweat, his face became whiter. Ming Di believed that he didn't put on powder, but Tian Zi was white and beautiful. Later, because he married Princess Wei, he was worshipped as a captain of Xu. So later generations used "Fu Fenhe Lang" as an allusion to describe people's white and beautiful faces, and even to describe some white objects.

For example, Liu Yuxi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem called "The Old Residence of Princess Dingjia", in which there is a sentence "He Lang still has no manners, unlike when he was rich in powder". Song (Jing Wong), who was also a poet in the Tang Dynasty, also said in Plum Blossom Fu that "if you give points, you can call it He Lang".

Fu Fenhe is now compared to a handsome man by Lang.

In the Book of Songs, there is a poem "Gan Tang" which is loved by Gan Tang. Its poem says: "If you cover Gan Tang, you will learn from it if you don't cut it. Guy Gan Tang, don't cut and don't lose, Zhao Gong rests on his reputation. Cover Gan Tang, don't cut and don't worship, Zhao Bo said. " Translated into modern words:

Don't cut down trees with lush soup shade. Zhao Gong uses it as a house. Don't cut down trees with lush soup shade. Zhao Gong used to rest here. Don't do it. Zhao Gong stays here.

Zhou Wuwang destroyed the Shang Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty. After his death, he passed the country on to his son Zhou Chengwang. Zhou Chengwang was young when he acceded to the throne. Fortunately, he got the help of two wise ministers. These two saints, one is Duke Zhou and the other is Zhao Gong. Zhao Gong cooperated with Duke Zhou in his work. He worked hard to assist the Zhou Dynasty and made outstanding achievements. Therefore, everyone calls Zhao Gong Zhao Bo.

Zhao Gong likes to go deep into the grassroots and local work. Zhao Gong won't stay in the house when the weather is hot. He will work under a begonia tree outside the door. He is very serious and fair, and has solved many specific problems in life for ordinary people. After he left, people missed him very much and the tree was preserved.

Gan Tang's legacy is to praise local officials who died in the past.
