Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan (present-day) are 700 miles in Fiona Fang, with a height of seven or eight thousand feet. They were originally in the south of Jizhou, north of the Yellow River. Gong Yu of Beishan, nearly 90 years old, lives with his back to the mountain. Suffering from the congestion in the northern mountainous area, I had to make a detour when I went out, so I called the whole family to discuss and said, "I will try my best to level the steep mountain with you, so that the road will lead all the way to the south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of Hanshui River." Everyone agreed. His wife raised a question and said, "With your strength, you can't even level this Queff Mountain. What can you do with these two mountains? " Besides, where should I put the mud and stones? "Everyone said," throw it to the edge of Bohai Sea, north of Tibetan soil. "So Gong Yu led three children and grandchildren who could carry the burden up the mountain, chiseled stones, dug dirt and transported them to the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. Neighbor Shi Jing's widow has an orphan, only seven or eight years old, skipping to help him. Winter and summer change seasons, and you can go back and forth once. The wise man on the bend laughed at the foolish old man and stopped him from doing so, saying, "You are so stupid! With your remaining years and strength, you can't even move a grass on the mountain. What can you do with mud and stones? " Gong Yu of Beishan sighed, "You are so stubborn that you can't even compare with orphans and widows. Even if I die, I still have a son; Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; Children and grandchildren are endless, but mountains do not increase. What are you worried about? "There is nothing to answer the meandering stay. The mountain god heard about it and was afraid that he would dig endlessly and report it to the Emperor of Heaven. The emperor was moved by Yugong's sincerity. He ordered the two sons of Hercules Kwae to move two mountains, one in the east of Shuofang and the other in the south of Yongzhou. From then on, from the south of Jizhou to the south bank of Hanshui River, there was no mountain barrier. This story was once as little known as other ordinary fables. This story has become a household name since President Mao Zedong mentioned it in a speech. Zhisou's timidity and timidity reflect Gong Yu's persistence, comparing "stupidity" with "wisdom" and telling people that no matter what difficulties they encounter, they may succeed as long as they persist.
Bian Que was a famous doctor in ancient times. One day, he went to see Cai Huanhou. After studying Cai Huanhou's face carefully, he said, "Your Majesty, you are ill. Now the disease is only on the surface of the skin. It is cured quickly and well. " Cai Huanhou disapprovingly said, "I'm not sick. I don't need you to treat me! " After Bian Que left, Cai Huanhou said to his left and right, "These doctors have to treat people who are not sick all day, so they can prove their medical skills in this way." Ten days later, Bian Que visited Cai Huanhou again. He said anxiously, "Your illness has developed to muscle. You have to pay close attention to treatment! " Cai Huanhou cocked his head: "I'm not sick at all! You go! Cai Huanhou was very unhappy after Bian Que left. Ten days later, Bian Que visited Cai Huanhou again. He looked at Cai Huanhou's face and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, your illness has entered your stomach, and you can't delay it any longer! Cai Huan Hou shook his head again and again: "Damn, what's wrong with me!" " ! After Bian Que left, Cai Huanhou became even more unhappy. Ten days later, Bian Que visited Cai Huanhou again. He only took one look, turned around and left. Cai Huanhou was very puzzled, so he sent someone to ask Bian Que, "Why did you turn away when you went to see the king? Bian Que said, "If you are sick, you are not afraid." . As long as it is treated in time, the general disease will gradually get better. I'm afraid I'm sick and say I'm not sick. I won't accept treatment. If the disease is in the skin, you can use hot compress; If the disease is in the muscles, acupuncture can be used; You can take soup medicine if your stomach is uncomfortable. However, now the king's illness has penetrated into the bone marrow. I was very ill, so I resigned myself to my fate and dared not ask for treatment for the king again. "Sure enough, five days later, Cai Huanhou's illness broke out suddenly. He sent for Bian Que at once, but Bian Que has gone to other countries. A few days later, Cai Huanhou died of illness.
【 Tip 】 If you have a disease, you must follow the doctor's instructions and treat it honestly. If there are shortcomings and mistakes, we should also listen to everyone's criticism with an open mind and seriously correct them. Otherwise, if you make mistakes again and again, your illness will get worse and worse, and your mistakes will get worse and worse, even to the point where there is no cure.
