China traditional culture story

1, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. A man who is good at guessing good or bad luck and mastering tricks lives near the frontier fortress. Once, his horse ran to the residence of the Hu people for no reason. People came to comfort him for this. The old man said, "Why isn't this a blessing?" A few months later, the lost horse came back with many good horses of the Hu people. People came to congratulate him.

2. The old man said, "Why isn't this a disaster?" There are many good horses in the fortune teller's house. His son likes riding horses. As a result, he fell off his horse and broke his leg. People began to sympathize with him.

3. The old man said, "Why isn't this a good thing?" After a year, the conference semifinals invaded the frontier fortress on a large scale, and all the able-bodied men confessed to go to war. Many people died near the frontier fortress. Only Sai Weng's son was saved from the battle because of his lame leg, and the father and son saved their lives together.

Paradoxically, during the Warring States Period, there was a man who sold spears and shields in Chu State. He first boasted that his shield was hard and said, "Nothing can destroy it!" " Then he boasted that his spear was sharp and said, "You can destroy everything with it!" " "

The hostages in the market asked him, "What will happen to them if you stab your shield with your spear?" The man couldn't answer. People laughed at him. An impenetrable shield and an impenetrable spear cannot coexist.

6. Carve a boat for a sword. There was a man crossing the river in Chu State. His sword fell from the boat into the water. He immediately carved a mark on the side of the boat and said, "This is where my sword fell." The ship stopped and (the Chu people) went into the water from the marked place to look for the sword. The ship goes forward, but the sword won't go with it. Isn't it silly to find a sword like this?

7. Stealing the clock, Fan perished, and someone took the opportunity to steal the clock. I want to carry it away, but the clock is too big to carry; So I hit the clock with a mallet. As soon as I knocked on it, the clock made a loud noise. He was afraid that others would take it away when they heard the bell, so he quickly covered his ears tightly. He thought it was ridiculous to cover his ears so that others could not hear him.

8. Make the finishing touch. Zhang Sengyou painted four dragons on the wall of anrakuji in Jinling, but didn't draw eyes. He often said, "Click on your eyes and the dragon will fly away." People thought it was ridiculous, so they clicked one of the dragons' eyes. After a while, lightning and thunder broke the wall and the dragonfly flew into the sky. All the dragons without eyes are there.
