Being overqualified is one of the idioms we often use. It means overqualified, and it is a metaphor for improper employment. So the following is the origin of the allusions I shared with you. Let's have a look!
The story of overqualified comes from 1 After Zhou Yu died, Lu Su recommended Pang Tong to Sun Quan, but Sun Quan didn't take a fancy to him. Lu Su didn't want to bury Pang Tong's talent, so he recommended him to find Liu Bei. Seeing that he was ugly, Liu Bei arranged for him to be a county magistrate in Leiyang County. After Pang Tong came to power, he drank all day and turned a blind eye to politics. Liu Bei was furious and ordered Zhang Fei, Sun Gan and others to go to Leiyang County. When Zhang Fei and his party arrived in Leiyang County, Pang Tong didn't come out to meet them. At this time, Pang Tong's colleagues came to tell Zhang Fei that he ignored politics on weekdays.
Zhang Fei was furious and wanted to take Pang Tong alive. Sun Gan advised him to see Pang Tong, and it's not too late to be punished again. When Zhang Fei met Pang Tong, he cursed Pang Tong for neglecting politics. As a result, Pang Tong was as cool as a cucumber and finished all the accumulated things in half a day. Zhang Fei admired him and recommended Pang Tong to Liu Bei. After some communication with Pang Tong, Liu Bei found that he was a rare talent, so he stayed and appointed him to be loyal.
The origin of overqualified allusions 2 Xin Qiji was an outstanding patriotic poet and hero in the Southern Song Dynasty. He insisted on resisting gold and peace, was pushed out by the traitors in the imperial court, and was finally dismissed from office. After retiring for a long time, the imperial court revived him, appointed him as an envoy to East Zhejiang and a magistrate of Shaoxing, and made friends with Lu You, a patriotic poet living in Shaoxing.
Soon, Zhao called Xin Qiji to Lin 'an and asked him to talk about his views and countermeasures on the Northern Expedition. Lu You was glad that Xin Qiji could realize his ambition and wrote a long poem for his friends. The poem says: The ancients lamented that Guan Zhong and Xiao He had gone to Asia. It means: Xin Qiji is really overqualified as a peace envoy in eastern Zhejiang, which makes people feel very sighed.
The idiom "overqualified" comes from this, which originally means overqualified, improper use and waste; Later, it was also used to describe improper employment, waste of talents and overuse.

After Zhou Yu died in Pang Tong, Lu Su recommended Pang Tong to Sun Quan, who didn't need him. Lu Su recommended Pang Tong to find Liu Bei. Seeing that he was ugly, Liu Bei arranged for him to be a county magistrate in Leiyang County. Pang Tong was unhappy and wanted to impress Liu Bei with his talent. Seeing Zhuge Liang's absence, I had to say goodbye. After that, I drank all day. Liu Bei heard that Pang Tong ignored politics, so he drank all day for fun. He was furious and ordered Zhang Fei to visit Jingnan. Zhang Fei went with Sun Gan. Pang Tong didn't come out to meet him at that time. Pang Tong's colleagues told Zhang Fei how Pang Tong ignored politics. Zhang Fei was furious and wanted to capture Pang Tong alive. It is not too late for Sun Gan to persuade him to see Pang Tong. When Zhang Fei met Pang Tong, he told him to scrap all kinds of things in the county. Pang Tong thought everything was trivial. As a result, it took only half a day to deal with everything this month. Zhang Fei admired him very much and recommended him to Liu Bei. Later generations turned Pang Tong into a county magistrate-two-part allegorical saying, which was overqualified. In fact, Pang Tong did work as a county magistrate, which was not very good, but it didn't take half a day to solve the government affairs in one month. Later (because of his poor work), Lu Su wrote to tell Liu Bei that Pang Tong was not suitable to be a county magistrate, but should be a county magistrate and a coachman. Then, Pang Tong's performance was really excellent. But the previous two-part allegorical saying is definitely not true. Even if Pang Tong really has the ability to solve the problem for a month in half a day, this story also shows that he is ambitious and knows the world well. Instead of being overqualified.

Xin Qiji was a famous patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. His father died in his childhood and was raised by his grandfather. Xin Qiji once worshipped Liu Zhan, a famous pastoral poet at that time, as a teacher, and took Dang Huaiying as Liu Zhan's most proud student. On one occasion, Liu Zhan asked them both: "Confucius once asked students to talk about their ambitions, and I also asked you what you plan to do in the future?" Dang Huaiying replied: "The purpose of studying and being an official is to gain fame and honor our ancestors. I am determined to be a big official in the imperial court; If you can't be an official, you will go home to live in seclusion and write pastoral poems like a teacher. " Liu Zhan was very happy to hear this. He repeatedly called it good and thought his ambition was noble. Xin Qiji replied: "I don't want to be an official. I want to write all the thieves in the world in words and kill all the thieves with my sword! " "Liu Zhan was taken aback and asked Xin Qiji not to say such ridiculous things in the future. After that, Xin and the party's life trajectory were completely different: Xin Qiji bravely devoted himself to the national anti-gold battlefield and was famous as a patriotic poet; While Dang stayed away from the ruling clique of the Jin people and did some help or even accomplice work for the Jin people. After the Jin people invaded the south, Xin Qiji organized a team of more than 2,000 people to rebel in his hometown. Later, he led a team to participate in the uprising organized by Jinan farmer Geng Jing. Soon, the insurgents accepted the appointment of the imperial court and cooperated with the imperial army to fight against the invading Jin army. However, Xin Qiji later lived in Shangrao, Jiangxi for a long time because of the exclusion and attack of the capitulators. 1in the spring of 2003, he was appointed as the magistrate of Shaoxing Prefecture and the peace envoy of East Zhejiang Road. This year, Xin Qiji was 64 years old. There is a place in the western suburbs of Shaoxing called Sanshan, where the famous patriotic poet Lu You lives in seclusion. Lu You was fifteen years older than Xin Qiji. At that time, he was almost eighty years old. His patriotic poems have long been admired by Xin Qiji. Xin Qiji went to visit the elder soon after taking office, and they discussed state affairs and met each other after a brief encounter. After listening to Xin Qiji's analysis and unification of the current situation and his vision for the whole country, Lu You felt that he was a very talented person and hoped that he would succeed in his career. In the second spring, Song Ningzong imperial edict Xin Qiji went to Lin 'an to ask his opinion on Xu Jinguo's Northern Expedition. "Xin Qiji told Lu You about it. Lu You thinks this is a good opportunity for Xin Qiji to display his talents and is happy for him. In order to encourage Xin Qiji to develop his talents, Lu You wrote a long poem specially for him. The poem reads: "Xin Qiji was a great statesman, strategist, Guan Zhong and Xiao He in ancient times. Being an envoy of Zhejiang East Road now is really overqualified. Encourage him to work hard to restore the Central Plains, and don't mind being excluded and frustrated. At the age of sixty-eight, the patriotic hero who was always overqualified finally died in grief and indignation.

There is a story in the 10th Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Cao Cao's father Cao Song was killed by Tao Qian. Cao Cao vowed to avenge his father and led an army to kill Xuzhou. Jiujiang satrap befriended Tao Qian, and when he heard that Xuzhou was in trouble, he led five thousand soldiers to rescue him. Cao Cao was so angry that Xia Houdun stopped him on the road. The concession mentioned here is the hero of the idiom "overqualified". It is true that Cao Cao killed the frontier in history, but the time and plot are somewhat different from those in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Bianrang, the word courtesy, Chen, is the Kaifeng person today. Bian made this man eloquent and knowledgeable when he was very young. His most famous work is zhanghua Fu. Liu Hongli, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, named He Fei as the queen and He Fei's half-brother He Jin as the general. Blades heard about Bian Rang's fame and talent, wanted to recruit him as an official, and was afraid that Bian Rang couldn't come, so he called Bian Rang to Luoyang in the name of conscription and appointed him as history. Blades thought it was a good thing for him, but it caused the dissatisfaction of Cai Yong (Y not ng), a great scholar, poet and calligrapher at that time. Cai Yong thought that the official in the concession was too small! Cai Yong found the blade and said, "I was lonely when I was a child, but I was smart and eager to learn hundreds of classics, and I could see the meaning." This man is omnipotent, "indecent assault, illegal silence" and a rare talent. The cauldron used for cooking cattle is not suitable for cooking chicken. There is too much soup to taste. Without soup, it can't be cooked well. As the saying goes, "the big things are small, the small things are small" so that the side can create history. I hope the general can give him a chance to show his talent. Later, blades let Bianrang become the satrap of Jiujiang. At that time, the imperial court was in chaos, and I thought it was really boring to be an official in such an environment. Later, I simply resigned from my official position and went home to study. But how can a talented person have no view of society? Bian Rang looked down on Cao Cao, a rising star, and often scolded him on different occasions. Later, someone complained to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was in high spirits. Why would anyone say that about him? So he arranged for local officials to arrest and kill the border.
