Ancient Chinese original text

Sima Qian's Historical Records Wei Shijia in the Western Han Dynasty: "Besides, the husband used the land to serve Qin, just like carrying firewood to put out the fire, and his salary was endless, and the fire could not be extinguished." "The Warring States Policy Wei Ce": "Take the land as a service to Qin, such as putting out the fire with salary, and Fukashi is on fire." Wen Zi Sincerity: "People in muddy water are fish [their mouths meet their hands], and those who are tyrannical are chaos. If he wants more, he will cheat more.

Interpretation of modern Chinese

During the Warring States period, Wei was invaded by Qin. After Wei Anli acceded to the throne, Qin stepped up its attack, and Wei suffered repeated wars and defeats. In the first year of An, Qin attacked Wei and Wei lost two towns. The next year, Wei lost three more towns. Not only that, at that time, the army of Qin was approaching the capital of Wei, and the situation was very critical. South Korea sent troops to rescue, which was also defeated by Qin Jun. Wei had no choice but to cede territory to end the war; But in the third year, Qin attacked again, captured two towns of Wei, and killed tens of thousands of people. In the fourth year, Qin defeated the armies of Wei, Han and Zhao together and killed 150,000 soldiers. Mao Mao, the general of Wei, is also missing.

Wei Jun's successive defeats made King Anli uneasy. At this point, another general in Wei Jun Duan was also very afraid. In order to have a safe life, he proposed to Jian 'an, cut Wan to Qin, and demanded a truce. Wang Anli was very afraid of Qin Jun's attack and thought that peace could be achieved by ceding land, so he did as Duan Ganzi said.

At that time, there was a man named Su Dai, Su Qin's younger brother, who always advocated "uniting against Qin". He also urged the vassal states to unite against Qin. When he learned that Wei had ceded territory for peace, he said to King Anli, "The invaders are pushing their luck. You can't exchange territory and rights for peace. As long as your territory is still there, you can't satisfy your desire for aggression. It's like putting out a fire with firewood. Firewood is thrown into the fire one by one. How can the fire be put out? When the firewood is burned out, the fire will be extinguished. " Although Su Dai made it clear, the timid King Anli only cared about the peace in front of him, blindly wronged and made peace, and didn't listen to Su Dai. On the advice of his ministers, he ceded a large piece of land from Wei to Qin. In 225 BC, he attacked Wei again, surrounded the capital girder, dug up the Yellow River levee and flooded the girder city. Wei was finally destroyed by Qin.

Take care of yourself?

Pinyin bē zhǒ u zē zhē n?

Interpretation: broken, broken. Jane: Cherish. The ancient literati called his wife "broom", and the broom here represents his wife. Metaphorically, things are not good, but they are very cherished.

Liu Hanzhen's "Dongguan Han Jiguang Emperor Wu Ji Ji" source: "Emperor Wen, I asked Liu Yu, the deputy governor of Wuhan, to say:' The city has fallen, and there are ten thousand babies and mothers. Once a soldier is set on fire, it is a sour nose. There is a broom at home, and my daughter enjoys it. I am a descendant of the imperial clan, so I have tasted many posts. Why not? "

For example, the second poem in Song Dynasty's "Early Summer Seclusion" says: "A cold turtle cannot eat for a long time, and a broom is also expensive."

And his Qiu Si: "If you look at the heritage, you will find that it is safe to use it, but the shortcomings are small and precious.

Liang Qichao's "One Hundred Congratulatory Books in Our Library": "Feng Fei never leaves, but cherishes himself."

Discriminating that "a broom cherishes itself" and "a broom is worth 1000 yuan" come down in one continuous line, which shows that you cherish your own things. And "broom is precious" is developed from "broom is precious", which has heavy semantics and is not used for exhortation and criticism.

Misuse example 1: This is the work of a famous late writer, which could not be published for various reasons, and this publication is a bit unconscious for the editor. Correction: The "work" in the sentence belongs to the "late famous writer", and the "editor" values, cherishes and wants to publish it, which is "treasure", but does not regard this work as shabby.

Example 2:Phoenix.com once had an entertainment news with the title "Tang Wei plans to make a low-key comeback". Correct: The article says that Tang Wei seldom buys clothes on weekdays, and she thinks that clothes will have feelings if worn for a long time, so she basically makes the best use of them and is unwilling to throw them away. If we use "taking care of herself with a broom" to evaluate her good habits, it is equivalent to saying "Tang Wei's clothes are worn out, but she cherishes them". Praising others for their thrift is well-intentioned, but the mistake lies in the word "we".
