What are the stories about tigers?

1, Smith

The tiger looked for all kinds of wild animals to eat them and caught a fox. The fox said, "You dare not eat me! God sent me to be the leader of wild animals, and now you have eaten me, which is against God's command. If you think my words are dishonest, I will walk in front of you, and you will follow me and watch all kinds of wild animals dare not run when they see me? " The tiger thought what the fox said was reasonable and followed. The beast saw them all run away. The tiger didn't know that the wild animals were afraid of themselves and ran away. They think they are afraid of foxes.

This is a well-known fable, which tells that the fox escaped from the tiger's mouth by his own intelligence. Later used to refer to bullying people by relying on their power. The cunning fox scares others in the forest with the tiger's prestige, but the cunning tactics can never make the fox change his weak nature. Once the trick is poked, it will not only be besieged by wild animals, but also swallowed by the deceived tiger. The extension shows that the bad guys who bully others can be arrogant for a while, but in the end they will never have a good end.

2. The tiger is sitting on the dragon plate.

During the Three Kingdoms period, in order to unite Wu against Cao Cao, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to Wudu Jianye to lobby Sun Quan. When Zhuge Liang arrived in Jianye, he saw the mountainous terrain of Moling and said with emotion, "The Zijinshan Mountain is steep, like a dragon surrounding Jianye, and the stone city is mighty, like a tiger crouching tiger. This is a good place for emperors to build their capital. "

This idiom shows that heroes generally occupy places with dangerous terrain. Generally speaking, some talented people are often guarding an important position.

3. Tigers learn art..

In China's folk fairy tales, there is also a widely circulated story of "tiger learning skills": although the tiger swaggered around in the mountains, it had one of its biggest weaknesses, that is, it could not climb trees. Because a long time ago, tigers didn't have any skills, so they could only learn all kinds of skills from cats. The enthusiastic cat soon taught it various skills such as vertical, jumping, jumping and flapping, and also discovered the fierce and cruel nature of the tiger, leaving a hand in the process of teaching.

When the tiger felt that he had completely learned the cat's skills, it uncharacteristically bit off the hand that fed it, and even jumped on it, trying to eat the cat in one bite. The cat, on the other hand, jumped to the top of the tree in no hurry to avoid being blindsided. The tiger crouched under the tree, helpless, and begged the cat to teach him how to climb the tree. Cats are no longer fooled, and tigers can't learn to climb trees at last.

4. Three people make a tiger.

Pang cong wants to accompany the prince to Zhao as a hostage. Pang Yan said to Wang Wei, "Some people say there are tigers in the street. Do you believe it? " Wang Wei said, "I can't believe it." Pang Cong said, "Two people said there were tigers in the market. Do you believe it? " Wang Wei said, "I have some doubts." Pang Gong added, "Three people said there were tigers in the market. Do you believe it? " Wang Wei said, "I believe it." Pang Cong said, "You can't do this. I'm afraid there will be more than three people talking about me in the future! " Wang Wei said, "I have a good idea. Go ahead!" "
