Said by: Biography of Zhao Han Guo Chongchuan This is an idiom of China, which means that it is better to read by yourself than to listen more, indicating that it is better to hear more than to see with your own eyes. The first thing to "see" is the military terrain, military strength, defense deployment and other military conditions that Xiqiang must master in combat.
Smell: I heard it. Seeing is believing, that is to say, listening more is not as reliable as listening closer.
Hanshu, also known as pre-Hanshu, is the first biographical dynastic history in China and one of the "twenty-four histories". It was compiled by Ban Gu, a historian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and lasted for more than 20 years. Jian 'an was basically completed in the early years, which was interpreted by Yan Shigu in the later Tang Dynasty.
Hanshu is another important historical book in ancient China after Shiji, and it is called "the first four histories" together with Shiji, Houhanshu and The History of the Three Kingdoms. Hanshu mainly describes the historical events of 230 years from the first year of Emperor Gaozu of the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC) to the fourth year of Emperor Wangmang of the New Dynasty (23 AD).
Hanshu includes 12 biographies, 8 tables, 10 records, 70 biographies and 100 * *. Later generations divided it into 120 volumes with 800,000 words. In the later period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Qiang people living in present-day Qinghai Province often invaded the mainland and occupied the city slightly.
Xiongnu also wanted to unite Qiang people to invade the Han Dynasty. Faced with this situation, Emperor Wu proposed to cut off the Xiongnu's right arm, referring to this alliance, but the soldiers sent were also defeated by the Qiang people.
At this time, Qiang Jin gradually moved to the north of Huangshui, looking for a place where farmers abandoned farming to graze. At the same time, Qiang tribes also have a tendency to unite, and county officials can't ban it.
At this time, the Huns wanted to collude with the Qiang people and expand their intrusion into the Western Han Dynasty. The army sent by the Han Dynasty to Haojiao (east of Datong River in Qinghai Province today) was defeated by the Qiang people and suffered heavy losses.
During the period of Xuan Di, Dr. Guanglu went to the Qiang nationality with Yi Quanguo, and the chief of the first zero tribe of the Qiang nationality told him to cross the Huangshui River in the north and raise livestock in places where the Han people did not farm. Yi Quanguo reported this situation to the court.
Zhao Chongguo impeached Yi Qu An Guofeng for dereliction of duty. Since then, the Qiang people have crossed the Huangshui River without authorization according to the previous words, and the local county magistrate in the Han Dynasty could not ban it.
In the third year of Yuankang (63 BC), the first zero tribe reached an agreement with more than 200 chiefs of the Qiang tribe and invaded the Han Dynasty. In the spring of the first year of Shenjue (6 1 year), the central government (prime minister and imperial envoy) recommended Yi Quanguo as the ambassador to Qiang, in order to understand the trend of Qiang soldiers.
Yi Quanguo doesn't understand strategy. As soon as he arrived at the Qiang department, he summoned more than 30 leaders of the Xianling tribe, all of whom were beheaded because of disobedience. Mobilize the army to suppress those who died first, and more than 0/000 people died/kloc.
So all the ministries of the Qiang people, as well as Hou Yangyu who returned to Guiyi, were very afraid. They left their land, plundered other small tribes, committed the Han frontier fortress, attacked the city and plundered the land, killed the chief, Yi Quanguo, and led 3,000 cavalry to defend the Qiang people as captains. They were attacked by Qiang people and suffered heavy losses. He led the troops back to Lingzhou and reported to the emperor.
Facing the Qiang people, Xuan Di wanted to use Zhao Chongguo, an outstanding old man, to lead troops to counter the rebellion. But at this time, Zhao Chongguo was over 70 years old, and Xuan Di sent the suggestion doctor Bingji to ask who could be a general. Zhao Chongguo confidently replied: "No one is more important than the old minister." (It is most appropriate for me to go) Emperor Xuan Di sent someone to ask: "How many people does the general need?" General, please estimate the situation of Xiqiang, how strong they are and how many troops they should send. Zhao Chongguo replied, "Seeing is believing.
The soldiers are difficult, and they are willing to go to Jincheng. I'll believe that when I see it.
It is difficult to accurately estimate the military situation of the other side in the rear. Let me go to Fang Jincheng to learn more, and then make a strategy! )。 He asked Xuan Di to give him this task, so don't worry.
Xuan Di smiled and agreed. In April, Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, officially sent a general, Zhao Chongguo, and led more than 10,000 cavalry to suppress it.
After Zhao Chongguo arrived in Jincheng (now northwest of Lanzhou, Gansu Province), he crossed the Yellow River to the west and led his troops to attack Luodu (now Ledu, Qinghai Province) at night. Seeing that the Qiang people did not keep the danger, he went west to Dewey House (now southeast of Huangyuan, Qinghai Province) and built a wall and camped. The Qiang army challenged many times, but the Han army could not hold on.
Zhao Chongguo adopted the strategy of combining kindness with mercy. First, he recruited Qiang people who were threatened by zero, such as Han and Kai Qiang, and disintegrated the Qiang army. In July, he led the army to the first zero area.
The Qiang people have been stationed for a long time, and their guard is lax. Suddenly seeing the arrival of Han soldiers, they hurriedly abandoned their chariots and horses and crossed the Huangshui River.
Because of the narrow road, Zhao Chongguo was afraid of being pushed too hard, forcing the Qiang army to turn back to the desperate World War I, and his men slowly chased him. Hundreds of Qiang people fell into the water and drowned, more than 500 people surrendered and were killed by the Han army, losing more than 6,543,800 heads of livestock and more than 4,000 vehicles.
When the Han army chased Han Qiang, Zhao Chongguo banned foot soldiers from burning houses, mowing grass and grazing, and more than 10,000 Qiang people surrendered. In December, Xuan Di rebuilt Qiang general Xin Wuxian and crossbow general Xu Yanshou, and joined forces with Zhao Chongguo to attack the first zero.
In view of the heavy losses of the Qiang army, Zhao Chongguo ordered the withdrawal of cavalry and the stationing of infantry. Xuan Di sent a letter to adopt Zhao Chongguo's suggestion.
At the same time, he also ordered two generals, Xin and Xu, and corps commander Zhao Yin to lead troops to continue attacking the Qiang people. General Broken Qiang led the attack and surrendered more than 4,000 people. General Qiang crossbow killed more than 2000 Qiang people; Zhao Yin killed more than two thousand people.
Zhao Chongguo led the army to open up wasteland, and there were more than 5,000 people. So far, there are 50,000 Qiang rebels, 7,600 of them were beheaded before and after, five or six people drowned and starved to death, 3 1.2 million people fell, and only more than 4,000 people escaped.
Xuan Di ordered Zhao Chongguo to continue to lead the troops to defend the wasteland, and the rest stopped fighting. In the autumn of the second year of Shenjue, Qiang * * * killed Jude, the first zero Qiang leader, and surrendered to Han.
In the Han Dynasty, Jincheng was established as a state (the county ruled Wu Yun, now near Minhe, Qinghai, and northwest of Yongjing, Gansu), and the army was withdrawn. Zhao Chongguo said that "seeing is believing" later became a proverb and idiom.
It means that seeing it once is better than hearing it a hundred times. The hearing is empty, seeing is believing, and we must investigate and study everything before we can draw a conclusion. References:

2. What is the next sentence of "Seeing is better than not seeing, seeing is better than not seeing"?
"Seeing is believing in a hundred stories" means that it is better to see it yourself than to listen to it many times. Metaphor is not as reliable as what you hear with your own eyes.
Origin of allusions: When Emperor Xuandi proclaimed himself king in the Western Han Dynasty, Qiang people invaded the border. Attack the city and plunder the land, burn, kill and plunder. Xuan Di then called the giants together to discuss and asked who was willing to lead the troops to kill the enemy. Zhao Chongguo, a 76-year-old general, has been dealing with Qiang people at the border for decades. He volunteered to undertake this important task. Xuan Di asked him how many soldiers and horses he would send, and he said, "Seeing is believing. It is difficult to calculate the use of troops in distant places. I want to go there to see for myself, then determine the attack and defense plan, draw a battle map, and then play your majesty. " With the consent of Xuan Di, Zhao Chongguo led a group of people to set off. The team crossed the Yellow River and met a small group of Qiang people. Zhao Chongguo ordered the attack and captured many prisoners at once. When the soldiers were about to catch up with them, Zhao Chongguo stopped them and said, "Our army has come a long way, so we can't catch up very far. If you are ambushed by enemy soldiers, you will suffer big losses! " Hearing this, all his subordinates admired his knowledge. Zhao Chongguo observed the terrain, learned about the internal situation of the enemy from the prisoners' mouths, learned about the deployment of the enemy forces, and then worked out the strategy of stationing troops to defend the border, rectifying the border and disintegrating the Qiang people, and beat Xuan Di. Soon, the court sent troops to pacify the Qiang people and settle the northwest frontier.
The origin of the idiom: The Biography of Han Zhao Chongguo says, "Seeing is believing. The soldiers are difficult, and I am willing to go to Jincheng. "
It is better to listen to the next sentence than to do it after reading it.
Seeing is believing "means listening to others for many times, so it is better to read this allusion by yourself from Zhao Han Guo Chongchuan, which is about the invasion of Qiang people during the reign of Emperor Xuandi of the Western Han Dynasty. Attack the city and plunder the land, burn, kill and plunder.
Xuan Di called ministers to discuss and asked who would lead the army to repel the enemy. Zhao Chongguo, a 76-year-old veteran, volunteered to go.
He has been dealing with Qiang people on the border for decades. Xuan Di asked him how many soldiers and horses he wanted to send. He said: "I want to see the border myself, determine the attack and defense plan, draw a good battle map, and then fight."
Xuan Di agreed. Zhao Chongguo led troops and horses across the Yellow River, met a small army composed of Qiang people, and suffered a serious attack.
Catch a lot of prisoners. When the soldiers were ready to chase them, Zhao Chongguo stopped them and said, "We have walked a long distance, so we can't chase them very far. If we are ambushed by the enemy.
You'll suffer a big loss! "Men listened to, all admire the veteran's knowledge. Zhao Chongguo observed the terrain, learned about the enemy's deployment, and learned about the enemy's internal situation from the prisoners.
He didn't work out the strategy of stationing troops to defend the border and dividing and disintegrating the Qiang people, so he hit Xuan Di. Soon, the court sent troops to quell the Qiang people's intrusion and settle the northwest frontier.
This allusion; Very profoundly expounded the truth that practice makes true knowledge. Practice is all social and objective material activities for human beings to save their homes, actively transform and explore the real world.
All subjective and objective behaviors. Practice is objective, mainly because the elements, premises, objects, means and results of practice are objective, and the whole process of practice is also restricted by objective conditions. Practice is dynamic, on the one hand, it can actively transform the world, on the other hand, it can actively promote the development of knowledge through practice; Practice is also a social and historical activity, which is restricted by certain social and historical conditions.
Cognition is the reflection of human thinking on the objective material world. The objective material world will not directly appear in people's minds, and people's knowledge will not naturally come out of people's minds.
Therefore, if you want to know something, only through the intermediate link of practice. People touch things in the practice of changing things, so as to perceive things; It is also to reveal the internal relations of things in the practice of changing things, so as to understand the essence of things.
So understanding can only come from practice. Although veteran Zhao Chongguo had a lot of experience in fighting the Qiang people, he knew the important role of practice, insisted on knowing the situation personally, and finally put down the invasion of the Qiang people.
Of course, when we say that practice is the source of knowledge, we don't mean that people have to experience everything personally. As far as everyone's knowledge is concerned, most of it is indirect experience and knowledge obtained indirectly through certain channels. But even indirect experience begins with direct experience.
Moreover, what is indirect experience must go through some intermediate links. The more intermediate links you experience, the greater the error between you and practice. Therefore, if you have the conditions to practice things in life, you must do it yourself. If you go through some intermediate links, you may not get a correct understanding. Therefore, Zhao Chongguo called it "seeing is believing".
