Idioms in fables

Fable stories are literary works that use false stories or personification of natural objects to illustrate the truth or lessons, usually with the nature of irony or exhortation. Here are some idioms about fables that I have compiled for you, hoping to help you.

Fable story idiom 2: The Chu people want to sneak attack on the Song State, and the marching route is to take a shortcut across the Ji River, and take it while the Song people are unprepared.

After careful planning, Chu first sent people to the Ji River to measure the water depth, and set a mark in the shallow water, so that the large troops attacking the Song State could cross the river smoothly along the mark.

Unexpectedly, the Ai River suddenly rose, and the Chu people did not know this situation. When the troops crossed the Jiye River, they still crossed the river according to the original standard. Besides, it was night. As a result, many soldiers and horses entered the deep-water vortex, and the Chu army was caught off guard. The rushing river made them upset and frightened. In the dark, people in the water shouted and hissed, and it was a mess, just like countless houses were falling down. In this way, the Chu army was flooded by more than 1000 people, and the survivors could not move forward, so they had to return in vain.

Of course, it was right for the Chu people to set a standard before. If the river doesn't rise, they can cross the river according to the sign. However, the situation changed later. The river surged and the water level rose a lot. The Chu people crossed the river by the original route without knowing the change. Of course, they can only fail miserably.

The situation is constantly changing, and people's understanding should also change with the development and change of the objective situation. People must take corresponding measures according to the new situation at any time, otherwise they will suffer and fall.

In the field, vast tracts of crops are bathed in sunshine and rain, thriving and full of vitality. Maybe you can't see the crops growing every day, but they have grown taller.

There was a Song Dynasty man who lived by growing crops and had to work in the fields every day. When the sun is in the sky, there is no shelter. The sweat on Guo Song's head was as big as beans, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, but he had to bend over to plant seedlings in the scorching sun. When it rained heavily, there was nowhere to escape, so the Song people had to plow in the rain. The rain made him lift his head and sweat dripped down.

In this way, day after day, every time after a hard day, the Song people came home too tired to move and didn't even bother to say a word. Song people find it really difficult. What bothers him even more is that he goes to the fields with a hoe every day to work hard, but those crops that he doesn't understand don't seem to grow at all, which is really worrying.

On this day, Song people plowed the land for a long time and sat on the ridge to rest. He looked at the farmland as big as if it had no edge, and he couldn't help but feel anxious again. He said to himself, "crops, do you know how hard I work every day?" Why don't you understand me at all and grow up so fast? Grow taller quickly, grow taller quickly ... "He shouted and pulled out a thread on his clothes. The thread is not broken, but it comes out a lot. Song Guoren looked at the thread and lost in thought. Suddenly, an idea popped into his mind: "Yes, why didn't I think of it?"? Let's get started! " The Song people immediately warmed up, jumped up and began to get busy. ...

The sun went down, and the wife of the Song people had cooked the meal and sat at the table waiting for him to come back. "I should have come back this time in the past. Will something happen? " She thought anxiously. Suddenly the door creaked open and the Song people came back sweating. As soon as I entered the door, I said excitedly, "I'm exhausted today!" I pulled out some of each crop, and they grew so much at once ... "He gestured. "What? You ... "Song Guoren's wife was surprised. She even forgot to finish, so she hurried to the field with a lantern in her hand. But it was too late, and all the crops were dead.

Everything in nature has its own objective laws, and people can't change these laws forcibly. Only by obeying the law can they succeed. Stupid Song people don't understand this truth. They are eager for quick success and quick success. They just want the crops to grow as fast as they want, but the result is the opposite.

Fable story idiom 4: Fengjiang officials serve as local officials in Changwu. A few days later, he met Confucius' student prison. In a few words, discuss with the sub-prison the way to govern the place and manage the long road.

Ancient feudal officials were respected as princes by the people. I had a very speculative talk with Zi Prison. He talked about his own experience in governing the country, thinking that dealing with government affairs must not be reckless, and managing the people must not be simple and rude.

From governing the country to farming. Feng Ren said that he planted crops. At that time, the cultivated land was sloppy and the fruit was sparse; Careless weeding broke the roots and branches of the seedlings. After a year's work, there is almost no harvest in the harvest season.

After listening to the narrative, Zi Jian asked about his future with great concern.

I learned from my mistakes and summed up my lessons in farming. The next year, I changed my casual attitude. He told Zi Prison that from then on, he began intensive cultivation, careful weeding and careful care of crops. Unexpectedly, he had a bumper harvest that year, and a year later he had no worries about food and clothing.

With the failure and success of agriculture, Feng Ren realized that everything was serious. Since you are a local official, you must adhere to this principle of being a man. Zi Jian often educates others to seal people.

No pains, no gains. This is true whether it is planting crops or doing anything else.

Only by being serious and responsible can we achieve the ideal effect through hard and meticulous labor. Earnestness is the guarantee and prerequisite for doing anything well.

Fable idiom 5 Once upon a time, there was an old man in the State of Chu who raised monkeys for a living. People in Chu called him "Gong Ju". Every morning, after getting up, snipers assign tasks to monkeys in the yard. He asked the old monkey and the monkey to jump out together and go to the mountains to pick the fruit of the fruit tree. When the monkey came back at night, the sniper forced the monkey to hand over one-tenth of the fruit he had picked. He can feed himself with the fruits collected by these monkeys, with a slight surplus. Once upon a time, several monkeys felt that their efforts were in vain, but their nephews enjoyed success and refused to hand over the fruit. The nephew added sticks to them and played for a while. Although the monkey thinks it is very hard to pick fruit every day, he is afraid of being beaten by the government and dare not disobey his orders.

One day, an ignorant little monkey suddenly asked the monkeys, "There are many fruits in the mountains. Did you plant it yourself? " Everyone said, "No, everyone knows that these fruit trees are not planted by anyone, they are all born." The little monkey asked again, "In that case, why should we live by working hard for our nephew?" Before the little monkey finished, the monkey had an epiphany.

That night, when the spy was asleep, the monkeys quietly broke the fence and broke the cage. Then, holding the fruits accumulated by snipers, they ran hand in hand into the depths of the forest and never went back. When the sniper woke up, he found that all the monkeys had run away. He had no means of survival, so he had to stay at home and starve to death.

This story tells us that a man should be self-reliant. If he doesn't work hard, tries to rely on others, or makes a living by exploiting others, he will only starve to death like a spy in the end.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer in Song State. His family is very poor. He works in the fields all year round and has never traveled far. He neither knows what kind of life the rich people in the world live, nor has he seen what the world outside his hometown is like.

Because his family is poor, the farmer often wears messy woven clothes and struggles through the cold winter. It's finally spring. The snow and ice melted, the sun shone warmly on the earth, and the farmers were as vibrant as the seedlings in the field.

One day, the weather was exceptionally clear and there was no wind. The farmer worked in the field for a long time and felt a little tired, so he sat on the ridge in the sun. The warm sunshine shone on the farmer, and he felt an indescribable warmth and comfort, just like being in a fog. He feels that basking in the sun is a unique enjoyment in the world. He had no idea that there were warm tall buildings, luxurious houses and deep courtyards in the world, as well as soft silk cotton robes and expensive fox fur coats.

The poor farmer turned to his wife and said, "It's really comfortable to keep warm in the sun. I'm afraid no one in the world knows this benefit. " If we dedicate the comfort of sunbathing to the monarch, we will certainly get great returns. what do you think? "

The farmer's wife felt that what her husband said was reasonable and agreed to provide the monarch with a way to bask in the sun. So the couple put down their farm work in the field and went home, intending to offer a reward. Unfortunately, the couple not only don't have a decent dress, but even don't know how to get out of the house and enter the city.

Some people are limited by their own knowledge, and often think that what they think is great will be considered great by others. In fact, what they think is great may often be trivial things that are well known.

Idiom 7 Fable Story There was a poet named Gu in the Tang Dynasty. He was very talented in poetry. His poem "Xiao Sheng Makes People Rely on the Building" was praised by the poet Du Mu, so people called him "Zhao Rely on the Building". At that time, there was another poet named Chang Jian. His poems were well written, but he was not satisfied, but he appreciated Zhao Huan's poems very much.

On one occasion, Zhao Wei visited Suzhou. Chang Jian happens to be in Suzhou. He said happily, "This is a good opportunity. We must find a way to let Zhao Wei leave some good poems! " But in what way? He thought: Lingyan Temple is a great scenic spot in Suzhou. When Zhao Wei comes to Suzhou, she must go to Lingyan Temple. If he had written a sentence and a half in advance in the temple, it might have aroused Zhao Wei's poetic interest.

So Chang Jian wrote two poems on the wall of Lingyan Temple. As expected, when Zhao Kuangyin visited Lingyan Temple, he saw that there were only two poems on the wall, so he added two sentences after the pen and became a complete poem. Chang Jian's plan succeeded. He exchanged two poems that he was not very clever for a wonderful poem that Zhao Tuo continued to write!

Some people say that this method of frequent construction can really be described as "throwing bricks to attract jade".

Later, people used the idiom "throwing bricks to attract jade" to mean that they first published some superficial opinions or simple words in order to attract others' high comments or excellent works. This is a form of self-modesty.

Fable story idiom 8 Fable story idiom: Lead a wolf into the room.

There is a shepherd herding sheep in the valley. He is always on his guard when he sees a wolf following him in the distance. Months passed, and the wolf just followed from afar, not near the sheep, let alone hurting a sheep. The shepherd gradually relaxed his vigilance against wolves.

Later, he simply regarded the wolf as a sheepdog and told it to look after the sheep. When the shepherd saw that the wolf managed the sheep well, he thought, People say that the wolf is the worst, but I don't think so. ...
