Do these idioms all come from myths and legends, such as turning stone into gold, innuendo, chicken and dog ascending to heaven, and eight immortals crossing the sea?

turning stone into gold is the same as "turning iron into gold". Fairy stories say that immortals turn iron into gold with a little finger, which is a metaphor for changing bad words. From the song Hu Zai's "Meng Haoran, after the fishing in Tunxi": "The poem is based on one word, and it is naturally unique, such as a magic bullet, and the stone turns into gold." The Journey to the West replied for the fourth time: "My master, who calls the wind and calls the rain, can only turn his hands; It means that water is oil, and turning stone into gold is as easy as turning around. " Guo Moruo's "On the Large-scale Collection of Folk Songs": "Those of us who have some experience know that poetry can simply turn stone into gold! Change a word and the poem will live. "

innuendo This is an idiom, which means secretly slandering and slandering, secretly attacking or framing people, and is also called "innuendo". Originated from an ancient legend, there was a strange animal at that time, which looked like a turtle and had only three legs. People called it-the salamander. Some people say that it is a strange-looking beetle with a hard shell on its back, horns on its head and wings on its body. It can fly to the sky and sneak up on humans in the dark. Some people say that it is usually hidden in the water, and there is a bow in its mouth, which can contain a mouthful of sand. If it is shot, it will get sick and get sore. Even if you shoot people in the shadow, they will get sick. It should be noted that idioms can only be used to describe situations such as attacking people unprepared, stabbing people in the back and blindly attacking. If the two sides of the struggle are open-ended confrontation, it is not appropriate to quote this idiom.

It is said that after Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Han Dynasty, cultivated into immortality, he scattered the remaining medicine in the yard, and the chickens and dogs all ascended to heaven after eating the fairy medicine. Later, the metaphor of "chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" was used to describe a person's rise to power, and people related to him also made a fortune. It is also said that "one person gets the word, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

when the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, they all showed their magical powers. The Eight Immortals are eight Taoist immortals in Han folklore, and there have always been different opinions. They are Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Lv Dongbin, Tie Guai Li, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu, Lan Caihe and He Xiangu. Avatar: Buddhist word refers to omnipotent ability, and now it refers to particularly brilliant ability. Metaphor has its own way of doing things. It is also a metaphor for competing with each other with their own skills. "Eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers" originally meant that eight immortals had boundless magic power. When crossing the East China Sea, Tie Guai Li suggested throwing their magic weapons into the water and crossing the sea separately. As a result, the eight immortals crossed the East China Sea separately. Now it means that there are different ways to do things, and there is also the meaning of competing with each other. Although "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" uses myths and legends, it expresses people's desire to explore the mysteries of nature and pursue a better life, just like the fairy-seeking activities in Penglai in ancient times. Therefore, without the influence of the birthplace of ancient sea fairy hunting, there will be no historical legend that the Eight Immortals crossed the sea in Penglai. Therefore, the story of the Eight Immortals came into being because of Penglai, which is also famous at home and abroad because of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.
