1. What is the meaning of "Qian donkey's skills are poor"
It is a metaphor that the limited skills have been used up, and now it is mostly used to satirize some people who are superficial, strong on the outside, incompetent on the outside, and have no virtue or talent.
The story comes from "The Donkey of Guizhou" by Liu Zongyuan.
Original text:
There are no donkeys in Guizhou, but those who have good deeds can be brought in by boat. When it is no longer available, put it down the mountain. When a tiger sees it, it looks like a huge thing and thinks it is a god. Peep into the woods. If you come closer, it will be a surprise. Don't know each other. (There are two characters here that are not typed... They are ancient characters that are no longer available.)
In the future, when the donkey brays, the tiger will be frightened and flee far away. fear. However, after looking at it from time to time, I felt that there was no abnormality. I became accustomed to its sound, and when I came close to it, I did not dare to fight. A little closer, Yi Xi, leaning against the danger, the donkey was angry and hoofed it. The tiger was so happy that he thought, "The trick stops here!" Because the tiger jumped so hard, it cut its throat and used up all its flesh, and then it was gone.
Oops! The huge shape is also a sign of virtue, the grand sound is also a sign of ability, but the skill cannot be demonstrated. Although the tiger is fierce, it is suspicious and fearful, and the soldiers dare not take it. If that's the case now, I'm sorry!
Translation:
There were no donkeys in Guizhou until a meddlesome man brought one into Guizhou by ship. After it arrived, it was found that it was of no use, so he put it down the mountain. When the tiger saw it, he thought it was a tall and big guy and regarded it as a god. The tiger hid in the woods and secretly watched it. Then it gradually came out and approached it cautiously, not understanding it.
One day, the donkey brayed. The tiger was very frightened and fled far away, thinking that it was going to bite him. It was very frightened. But the tiger kept watching it back and forth, feeling that it had no special abilities. The tiger gradually became familiar with the donkey's braying, and came closer, walking back and forth, but never dared to fight it. The tiger became even more affectionate and rude towards the donkey, colliding with, leaning on, attacking, and offending the donkey. The donkey couldn't help but get angry and kicked the tiger with its hooves. The tiger was very happy and thought about the matter and said: "The donkey's ability is nothing more than this!" Then he jumped up and roared loudly, bit the donkey's throat, ate up all its meat, and then left.
Alas! The donkey has a huge body, seems to be very dharma-minded, has a loud voice, and seems to be very capable. If it does not expose its weaknesses, then the tiger, although ferocious, will not dare to attack because of doubt and fear; but now it ends up like this , how sad!
2. Examples of failure without accumulation in the composition
If you don’t accumulate small steps, you can’t reach a thousand miles; if you don’t accumulate small streams, you can’t become a river. A horse can't take ten steps with one leap; a horse can ride ten times, but it's hard to give up the merit. If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break; if you persevere, the metal and stone can be carved.
-------"Xunzi"
An old clock said to a newly assembled small clock: "We have to go 32 million times every year." After hearing this, Zhong was shocked, "If you ask me to do such a big thing, I can't do it, I can't do it." Jiu Zhong said: You don't have to be afraid, you just need to swing it every second. "Little Zhong was hesitant, but in the end he listened to Old Zhong and finally did it 32 million times. This story tells us that success comes from accumulation.
Indeed, without accumulation bit by bit, success will always be We will not favor those paper tigers who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. In real life, there are always some people who are too ambitious and like to pursue unrealistic goals, but they always end up depressed, but they never understand the reason. As everyone knows, only small steps can lead to a long journey.
In ancient times, there were many celebrities who started from scratch. Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was one of them. He practiced calligraphy diligently every day when he was young. He would go to the pool at the front door to wash his pen, and over time, the water turned black. This is how he became famous. This shows the importance of starting from small things, and success comes from persistent efforts. .
A drop of water wears away a stone is the philosophy given to us by nature. "No pain, no gain, no matter how hard you work, is an eternal truth. If you do not make down-to-earth efforts, the result will definitely be unsatisfactory." The tragedy of "Shang Zhongyong": Even if a person is talented, if he does not accept acquired education and learning, and does not continuously accumulate his knowledge bit by bit, he will eventually become mediocre.
On the contrary, if these are achieved, then I believe that "Shang Zhongyong" will no longer become a regret in China's history.
3. The idiom story is strong on the outside but strong on the inside
The idiom story is strong on the outside but strong on the inside:
After the death of Duke Xiang of Jin in the Spring and Autumn Period, the version of Jin Gongzi Yiwu ended After living on the run, he returned to Jin Quan State to inherit the throne and became the king.
During Yiwu's escape career, he once promised Duke Mu of Qin that if one day Yiwu had the opportunity to return to the country and become the king, Yiwu would cede five towns to Qin as a life-saving favor. However, Yi Wu failed to fulfill his promise after becoming the king.
Later, there was a famine in Qin, and Duke Hui of Jin did not lend a helping hand to help Qin. Duke Mu of Qin held a grudge for this. Later, Duke Mu of Qin sent troops to attack the State of Jin, and soon reached a town in the State of Jin. In order to resist the powerful Qin army, Duke Hui of Jin personally led the troops to resist. He ordered that the horses pulling the chariot must be horses from the state of Zheng. A minister saw this and quickly said to Duke Hui of Jin: "Although Zheng's horses look very strong, they are actually very weak. When fighting, they will not obey the command when they are nervous. At that time, they will not be able to advance or retreat. Your Majesty, please don't make this decision!" But Duke Hui of Jin was not willing to listen to the advice of his ministers. As expected, Duke Hui of Jin's carriage failed to obey the command before long, and Duke Hui of Jin was immediately captured by the Qin army. They captured him, and Jin was defeated.
Qing Zheng’s saying “Strong on the outside but capable on the inside” later became an idiom. "Outside" refers to the appearance, the surface; "Zhong" refers to the middle, the inside; "Qian" means dryness and emptiness. Used to describe a person who is strong on the outside but actually empty on the inside.
4. What is the difference between "strong on the outside but strong on the inside" and "strong on the outside but soft on the inside"?
1. Both idioms "strong on the outside but strong on the inside" and "tough on the inside but weak on the inside" are: very strong and fierce in appearance, but weak in essence. , meaning empty.
2. But there is a difference: "Strong on the outside but dry on the inside" means "strong on the outside but empty in the center".
The following are examples:
(1) "Being a trapped beast but still fighting" is the nature of all reactionaries, and "being strong on the outside but capable on the inside" is the characteristic of the Kuomintang generals. (Sun Yunying's "Falling Leaves in the Wind")
(2), "It's the conscience of heaven and earth, it's not Gao Haichen who sent me here!" Liu Shuaner told a lie that was strong on the outside but honest on the inside. (Guan Hua's "Jiang Jiang River")
(3) Liang Zhiyong's majestic, high-spirited and majestic aura scared the hell out of that Japanese who looked cowardly and was strong on the outside! (Guo clarifies "The Story of the Big Sword")
(4) These strong-willed guys broke into the courtyard with guns in hand, assumed a posture of facing a formidable enemy, and suddenly surrounded Liang Yongsheng and Liang Yongsheng. Uncle Wei. (Guo Qingqing's "The Story of the Broad Sword") Example 1 is used as the subject, Example 2 is used as the adverbial, and Example 3 and Example 4 are used as the attributive. In these four examples, it makes sense to replace "strong on the outside but strong on the inside" with "strong on the outside and soft on the inside". "Li" means fierceness and "coward" means "weakness" in "Looking tough but feeling soft". The whole idiom means "tough on the outside but cowardly on the inside".
(5) It seems like two classes are competing for spirit, will and strength! One is cruel and ferocious, with a fierce appearance and a soft heart; the other is as majestic as a mountain, awe-inspiring and inviolable. (Li Ruqing's "Ten Thousand Mountains Are Red")
(6) In response to Chairman Mao's glorious instructions, the "Gang of Four" were scared to death and hated them to death. They tried every means to block them, which fully exposed their fierceness and inner lust. , the nature of being strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
(7) In his early years, when he was working as a long-term laborer for the Maoshengtang family, because the old fox deducted wages, he became furious and frightened the fierce-looking Mao Shengtang family so much that he fell off the imperial chair and fell asleep on the spot. Bed for half a year.
(8) When Zhou Wu thought of this, he punched the table with his fist. (Li Ruqing's "Ten Thousand Mountains Are Red") Example 5 is used as a predicate, Example 6 and Example 7 are used as attributives, and Example 8 is used as an adverbial. In Example 5, Example 7, and Example 8, "Severe in color and soft in color" can be replaced with "Strong in appearance and dry in the middle",
Example 6: "Strong in color and soft in heart" is used together with "Strong in appearance and strong in heart", but they can also be interchanged.
From the comparison of the above use cases, we can see that both idioms have the meaning of being strong in appearance and weak in nature, but there are differences. The main difference is in the style of language. ” can be used in both written and spoken language.
(4) What does the story of a strong man but a capable man say? Extended reading:
A sentence is the basic unit of language use. It is composed of words or phrases and can express a complete meaning, such as telling others One thing, raise a question, express a request or stop, express some kind of emotion. It should end with a period, question mark, or exclamation point. There are generally several ways to make sentences:
1. Explain based on analyzing and understanding the meaning of the word. If you use "pay homage" to make a sentence, you can make it like this: "I stood on the square to pay homage to the monument to the revolutionary martyrs." Because "pay homage" means looking up with respect.
2. Use adjectives to make sentences to specifically describe the actions, demeanor or shapes of things. For example, using "silence" in a sentence: "There was silence in the classroom, no one was talking, laughing or playing, no one was walking around at will, and even the atmosphere was not dared to come out." This makes "silence" concrete.
3. Some adjectives can be made into sentences with a pair of antonyms or a combination of positive and derogatory words. Strong contrast can play a better role in expression. For example, using "glorious" to make a sentence: "It is glorious to pay attention to hygiene, and it is shameful to not pay attention to hygiene." Comparing "glorious" and "shameful" emphasizes that hygiene is a virtue.
4. Use metaphorical words to make sentences, and you can make the sentences vivid with the help of association and imagination. For example, use "as if" to make a sentence: "It's extremely cold today, and the wind blows on your face like a knife."
5. When using related words to make sentences, you must pay attention to the reasonable combination of words. For example, use "although...but..." to make a sentence: "Although the weather is very bad today, everyone is not late." This requires distinguishing and remembering several types of related words in daily study.
6. First expand the words you want to make a sentence into phrases, and then complete the sentence. If you use "add" to make a sentence, you can first combine "add" into "add equipment", "increase confidence" or "increase strength", and then make a sentence more conveniently.
5. The idiom "a thousand characters" is made up of square bricks.
Strong on the outside but dry on the inside

Duke Hui of Jin did not listen to the advice at all. As a result, the horse was frightened and fell into a mud pit on the battlefield, and Duke Hui of Jin became a prisoner.
6. Which idiom story has the fewest words
Introduction to idioms
Idioms, chengyu, idioms (Zhou Zumo)
Part of the language vocabulary Stereotyped phrases or short sentences. Chinese idioms have fixed structural forms and fixed sayings, which express a certain meaning and are used as a whole in sentences.
For example:
To be concise and concise, to move forward courageously, to complement each other and to seek truth from facts
To be tireless in teaching, to seek fish at the critical moment over the years
To cut your feet to fit the shoes A large part of it is inherited from ancient times, and the wording is often different from modern Chinese. Among them are sentences from ancient books, phrases compressed from ancient articles, and idioms commonly spoken by the people. Some meanings can be understood literally, while others are difficult to understand literally, especially allusive ones. Such as "the cows are full of sweat", "the tiger is perched on the dragon's pan", "the mountain is coming back", "the grass and trees are all soldiers", etc., occupy a certain proportion in Chinese idioms. The Chinese language has a long history and has many idioms, which is also a characteristic of the Chinese language.
An idiom is a ready-made word, similar to idioms and proverbs, but also slightly different. The most important point is that idioms and proverbs are of a spoken nature, while idioms mostly come from writing and are of a literary nature. Secondly, in terms of language form, idioms are almost all conventional four-character structures, and the words cannot be changed at will, while idioms and proverbs are always looser and can be more or less, not limited to four characters. For example, "cutting the mess with a sharp knife", "the power of nine oxen and two tigers", "the donkey's lip is not as good as the horse's mouth", "fear the wolf in front and the tiger behind" are often said idioms; "seeing is worth hearing a hundred times", "True gold is not afraid of fire", "Where there is a will, there is a way", and "A long journey will reveal the power of a horse, but time will reveal a person's heart". These are some words of experience that express a complete meaning and belong to the category of proverbs. Idioms are different from idioms and proverbs.
Most idioms have a certain origin. For example, "the fox fakes the tiger's power" comes from "Warring States Policy·Chu Ce", "snipe and clam fight" comes from "Yan Ce", "adding extra footwork to the snake" comes from "Qi Ce", "carving a boat to seek a sword" comes from "Lu Shi Chun Qiu· Cha Jin" , "self-contradiction" comes from "Han Feizi·Nanshi", and they are all ancient fables. For example, "returning the perfect jade to Zhao" comes from "Historical Records: Biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru", "breaking cauldrons and sinking boats" comes from "Historical Records: The Benji of Xiang Yu", "every tree and grass are soldiers" comes from "Book of Jin: Records of Fu Jian", "killing two birds with one stone" comes from "History of the North" "The Biography of Changsun Sheng" and "The Sweet Mouth and the Sword in the Belly" come from "The Biography of Li Linfu in the Book of Tang Dynasty", and they are all stories in history. It is more common to intercept sentences from ancient books and use them as four-character idioms. For example, "in an orderly manner" is taken from "Shangshu·Pangeng" "If the outline is in the outline, it will be orderly and orderly", and "drawing inferences from one example to other cases" is taken from "The Analects of Confucius·Shu'er" "If one example is taken from one corner, if it is not repeated by three corners, it will not be repeated." , "Heart-broken and bitter" is taken from "Zuo Zhuan" in the 13th year of Chenggong's reign. "Dividing courts to resist etiquette", "servile and servile" are taken from Ge Hong's "Baopuzi·Jiaoji" of the Jin Dynasty, "Those who regard Yue Zhi as an independent person are astringent and clumsy, and those who are servile and servile are the understanding of the world", "Be confident" are taken from Su Shi's "Wen Yu" of the Song Dynasty "The Story of Yanzhu in Yuandang Valley" "To draw bamboo, you must first have the bamboo in your heart." The list goes on and on. There are also many others who use ancient articles to form sentences. For example, "worried" comes from "The Book of Songs·Zhaonan·CaoChong", "externally strong but internally capable" comes from "Zuo Zhuan" in the 15th year of Duke Xi's reign, "waiting for work with ease" comes from "Sun Tzu·Military Struggle", "getting to the bottom of things" comes from Su Shi's "Hou Chibi Fu", "Meet by chance" comes from "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" by Wang Bo of the Tang Dynasty, and "unbreakable" comes from "Ping Huaixi Stele" by Han Yu of the Tang Dynasty.
Some four-character idioms commonly spoken by people can also be classified as idioms. For example, "to chew on words", "to be sloppy", "to do what you want", "to do nothing", "to be outspoken" and so on, have the same structure as idioms. There are also some idioms that appear as a result of accepting foreign cultures. Such as "the sky is falling", "a wake-up call", "unbelievable", and "the only way" are all.
Idioms are generally in four-character format, and those that are not four-character are less common. Such as "Fifty steps lead to laughter at a hundred steps", "Haste makes waste", "The drunkard's intention is not to drink". Idioms generally use four characters, which is related to the syntactic structure of Chinese itself and the fact that ancient Chinese mainly uses monosyllabic words.
The four-character grammatical structure mainly has the following forms:
Subject-predicate form: worthy of the name, domineering, unfounded, and confident;
Verb-object form: good at teaching others , incomprehensible, regarded as a daunting road;
Combined subject-predicate form: earth-shaking, water-shaking, dancing;
Combined verb-object form: know yourself and the enemy, recharge your batteries, guard against mistakes, give orders;
p>
Coupled noun form: carelessness, going in the wrong direction, looking through the mirror;
Coupled verb form: making rapid progress, moving forward bravely;
Verb-complement form: getting away with it, asking questions blindly;< /p>
Concurrent expression: beggar-thy-neighbour, frightening.
The structures of idioms are diverse, and the above are just simple examples. Idioms play a vivid, concise and vivid role in language expression. It itself has many metaphors, contrasts and emphatic wording methods. For example, "Yang serves Yin but violates", "Externally strong but internally strong", "Colorful", "Half-informed", "Battery", "Worrying about gains and losses", "Shuddering", etc. each have their own wonderful uses. Therefore, writers pay great attention to the use of idioms
