Kindergarten English Idiom Story Teaching Plan: "Hiding the Knife in the Laughter"

Idiom: hiding a knife in a smile Pinyin: xiào lǐ cáng dāo Explanation: It is kind to people's appearance, but sinister. Idiom story: During the reign of Emperor Taizong, there was a man named Li Yifu who was recommended as an imperial historian because of his good writing style. Li Yifu is also good at flattery. He once wrote an article praising Emperor Taizong, so he won the appreciation of Emperor Taizong. Tang Gaozong and Li Yifu gained the trust of the emperor and became the secretariat. Since then, it has become more successful. Li Yifu is gentle and modest in appearance, and always smiles when talking with people, but ministers all know that he is extremely insidious, so they all say that he hides a knife in his smile. Li Yifu did whatever he wanted in North Korea, cultivating cronies, asking his wife and children for money at will, and making official vows at will. When the emperor knew this, he gently warned him, but Li Yifu didn't take it to heart. Once, Li saw an official list. After returning home, he asked his son to find the person who was about to take office and said to him, "Don't you want to be an official?" The imperial edict will come down in a few days. How can you thank me? "The man saw an official to do, immediately offer a gift. Later, when the emperor learned of this matter, he couldn't bear it, so he sent Li Yifu and his son to the frontier in the name of "leaking secrets".
