Everything is trapped.

When a man guards it,

Story: According to historical records, Liu Bang entered Xianyang in 207 BC. "Keep Hangu Pass, Xiang Yu will come, and he is not allowed." This explains the situation that "one person guards it, and ten thousand people can't force it".

Jackals from the same nest

When Xuan Di was announced in the Han Dynasty, there was a famous man named Yang Yun. His father is the prime minister of Zhao Di, and his mother is the daughter of historian Sima Qian. He received a good upbringing from childhood and became famous in the court when he was a teenager. Because he betrayed Xuan Di's general Huo Guang, he was named Pingtonghou. At that time, social bribery in Han Dynasty was very serious. Rich people pay bribes and can have fun everywhere. Those who have no money to bribe have to work hard all year round. Therefore, he vigorously eliminated these ills and rectified the bad atmosphere of the imperial court, which won people's praise. He thinks he has high credit, and sometimes he is arrogant, which offended his servant Dai Changle.

On one occasion, Yang Yun heard that the Xiongnu leader Khan was killed and said, "This is a king who doesn't know right from wrong. Loyal ministers don't have to run the country, but they listen to villains' slanders and kill Zhongliang. As a result, their lives were not guaranteed and the country was destroyed. If not, the Qin dynasty may still exist now and will not be replaced by the Han dynasty. Since ancient times, kings of all dynasties have been like this, and they like to listen to the slanderers of villains, just like raccoons produced on the same mountain. There is no difference. " This word reached Changle's ears, and he quickly reported to Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Xuan Di was very angry when he heard that Yang Yun compared himself with kings of past dynasties. In addition, Changle said many bad things about Yang Yun's dissatisfaction with Xuan Di, so he ordered the removal of Yang Yun's office.

Later, "birds of a feather" was used to describe people with the same rotten tastes and doing nothing.

One day in the sun and one day in the cold-work hard for one day and do nothing for ten days.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many schools appeared, each with its own opinions, and went to various countries to lobby and publicize their own theories. These people are not only knowledgeable, but also eloquent, and often can persuade rulers to change their minds.

Mencius was a famous debater at that time. He helped the King of Qi to govern the country. When he saw that the King of Qi was fatuous, stubborn and credulous, he was very dissatisfied. He bluntly said to the king of Qi, "Your Majesty, you are so unwise! Although there are plants with strong vitality and easy growth in the world, can they survive if they are left in the sun for one day and then frozen in a cold place for ten days? My time with the king is very short. Even if you take some good advice from me and have a little determination to do good, those treacherous court officials will play the devil's advocate in front of you and cheat you as soon as I leave. Kings often believe their slanders. How can this make me achieve something? " He made another analogy: "Playing chess is a trivial matter, but if you don't concentrate, you can't learn well." Qiu Yi is the best chess player in China. He has two apprentices. One of them is very absorbed in learning chess and listens to Qiu Yi's guidance everywhere; The other is absent-minded, and has been thinking about shooting swans in the air with arrows. The same teacher studies at the same time, but his grades are quite different. This is not that their intelligence is different, but that their concentration is different! "

Mencius used two metaphors to tell the king of Qi to be persistent and attentive, otherwise he would not succeed.

Retreat to avoid conflict

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong listened to rumors, killed Prince Shen Sheng, and sent someone to arrest Shen Sheng's younger brother Zhong Er. When Zhong Er heard the news, he fled the State of Jin and forgot about it for more than ten years.

After many hardships, Zhong Er came to the State of Chu. King Chu Cheng thought that Zhong Er would make great achievements in the future, so he greeted him with state gifts and regarded him as a distinguished guest.

One day, the King of Chu gave a banquet in honor of Zhong Er, and the two chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Suddenly, the king of Chu asked Zhong Er, "If one day you return to the State of Jin and become a monarch, how can you repay me?" Zhong Er thought for a moment and said, "Beautiful women are waiting for you, precious silk, and you have a lot of rare bird feathers, ivory leather, and even more in Chu. What rare items does Jin Wang have? " The king of Chu said, "Your son is too modest. Having said that, you should show me something? " Zhong Er replied with a smile, "Thanks to you. If I can really return to China to be in power, I would like to get along well with your country. If one day, Jin Chu goes to war, I will definitely order the troops to retreat first (one house equals thirty miles). If I can't get your forgiveness, I will fight you again. "

Four years later, Zhong Er really returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch. This is the famous Jin Wengong in history. The state of Jin became stronger and stronger under his rule.

In 633 BC, the two armies of Chu and Jin fought. In order to fulfill his promise, Jin Wengong ordered the troops to retreat 90 miles and stay in Chengpu. When Chu Jun saw that 8 Jin J was retreating, he thought the other side was afraid and immediately pursued it. The Jin army took advantage of the weakness of the Chu army's pride in underestimating the enemy, concentrated its forces and defeated the Chu army greatly, and won the battle of Chengpu.

The story comes from Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Twenty-two Years. This idiom means not arguing with others or making concessions on your own initiative.

If the lips are gone,

In the Spring and Autumn Period, if you want to expand your power and territory, you will find an excuse to say that neighboring country Guo (guó) often invaded the border of Jin and wanted to send troops to destroy Guo. But there is a dangerous country between Jin and Guo, and the crusade against Guo must go through dangerous places. "How can we successfully pass through the country of Yu?" Jin Xiangong asked his ministers. Doctor Xun said: "Yu's monarch is short-sighted, greedy and cheap." As long as we send him priceless jade and BMW, he will not refuse to borrow. " Jin Xiangong is a little unwilling to listen. Xun read his mind and said, "The two countries are close neighbors. Guo zhiguo is destroyed, and he can't be immune to it. Your beautiful BMW is only temporarily stored in Gong Yu. " Adopted Xun's plan.

Yu Guojun was very happy when she saw these precious gifts. When Xun heard that he wanted to borrow something from him, he readily agreed. When Dr. Yu Guo heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "No, no, Yu Guo and Guo Guo are close neighbors. Our two small countries are interdependent and can help themselves if something happens. If the state of Guo perishes, our state of Yu will be hard to protect. As the saying goes:' the lips die and the teeth are cold', without lips, the teeth can't be kept! Never lend money to the state of Jin. " Qi Huangong said, "Jin is a big country, and now they specially send beautiful jade BMW to make friends with us. Can't we borrow a way to let them go? " Gong sighed again and again, knowing that the country of Yu was not far from the day of extinction, so he left the country with his family.

Sure enough, the army of the State of Jin rode the east wind of the State of Jin, destroyed the State of Guo, and then seized Qi Huangong, whom the State of Jin personally greeted, and destroyed the State of Jin. The story comes from Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Five Years. The idiom "the lips are dead and the teeth are cold" means that the two sides are closely related and interdependent.

In the Battle of Julu in 206 BC, Xiang Yu burned his bridges and defeated Zhang Han. This war has two meanings: first, the main force of Qin Jun was eliminated, and the peasant army took the initiative in the war; Second, Xiang Yu jumped from a general to the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, and the war situation began to change from a battle to a Chu-Han war.

This idiom comes from Three Kingdoms, Biography of Shu Wei and Biography of Xun Yu.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Cao Cao suppressed the occupation of Yanzhou (Y m 4 n) by the Yellow Scarf Army, he was ambitiously preparing to seize Xuzhou.

At that time, there was a gifted scholar named Xun Xuan in Yingchuan, Angelababy (now Xuchang, Henan), who moved to Jizhou to escape Dong Zhuo's rebellion and was regarded as a distinguished guest by Yuan Shao. Seeing that Yuan Shao could not achieve great things, he went to Cao Cao's door. Cao Cao was overjoyed and named him Sima. From then on, he followed Cao Cao to the north and made suggestions, which won Cao Cao's trust.

In A.D. 194, Tao Qian, a shepherd in Xuzhou, died of illness and gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei before he died. When the news came, Cao Cao couldn't hold back the heart of Xuzhou any longer and was busy sending troops to Xuzhou. Knowing Cao Cao's thoughts, Xun Yu said, "When Emperor Gaozu was in Guanzhong, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu owned Hanoi. They all have a solid foundation. They advanced enough to defeat the enemy and retreated enough to hold on, so they became a great cause. Now the general is attacking Xuzhou regardless of Yanzhou, and it is not enough for our army to stay in Yanzhou to obtain Xuzhou; Stay less, if Lyu3 bu4 moves at this time, it will not be enough to hold Yanzhou. In the end, Yanzhou must have lost it, and Xuzhou didn't take it. " He also pointed out, "Now is the wheat harvest season. I heard that Xuzhou has organized manpower to grab wheat outside the city and transport it to the city. This shows that they are ready. Once the news comes out, they will definitely strengthen their fortifications, transfer all materials, and make all preparations to meet us (the original text is:' Today's wheat harvest in the East, it will be difficult for the generals to clear the field'). In this way, your military forces are really gone, the city can't be captured, and nothing can be obtained. Within ten days, your army will be defeated without fighting. "

Cao Cao listened to Xun Xuan and admired him very much. From then on, he concentrated his forces and quickly defeated Lu Bu. Later, he defeated Liu Bei and occupied Xuzhou.

"Fixing the wall to clear the field": Fixing the wall is to strengthen the city wall and fortress; Clearing the field is to collect food and property in the wild. It is untenable to reinforce fortifications and transfer all residents and materials in the four fields so that the enemy can neither break into houses nor take anything. This is a way to confront the superior enemy.

This idiom comes from Jia Yi's On Qin in the Western Han Dynasty, which is about the peasant uprising led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu at the end of Qin Dynasty.

In July 209 BC, Yangcheng (now southeast of Dengfeng, Henan) local officials sent two officers and 900 poor people to guard the border in Yuyang (now Miyun County, Beijing). The two officers also chose two able-bodied men from among the able-bodied men to be the captains of chariots, and put them in charge of the rest of the able-bodied men. One of the two captains is Chen Sheng, a farm worker. The other is the poor peasants' guangwu. They didn't know each other before, but now they meet and share the same fate, which soon made them good friends.

Chen Sheng, Guangwu and his party were desperate to get to the north, and did not dare to delay. Because according to the decree of the Qin dynasty, if you miss the date, you will be beheaded. However, they had just walked for a few days when they arrived in osawa Township (now southwest of Su County, Anhui Province). It rained heavily, so they had to put up their tents until it cleared up. It just keeps raining, and the date is delayed. Chen Sheng discussed with Guangwu: "Even if you leave, you will die if you miss the date." Running away and being caught by the government is also death. It's a death anyway. Let's rebel together, overthrow Qin Ershi and kill the people. "

Guangwu is also a man of insight. He agreed with Chen Sheng and called on the whole world to attack Qin Ershi through the titles of Fu Su, the prince killed by Qin Ershi, and Xiang Yan, the former general of Chu who won the support of the masses.

So Chen Sheng and Guangwu took several confidants, hacked two policemen to death first, and then held their heads up to explain to everyone that if they rebelled, they would die in vain. These hundreds of people suddenly expressed their willingness to give their lives to work with Bobby Chen and Guangwu. Everyone took chopping down trees as a weapon, held high bamboo poles as a banner, and swore to heaven that Qi Xin would work together to overthrow Qin Ershi and avenge Xiang Yan, the general of Chu. Everyone also elected Chen Sheng and Guangwu as leaders and occupied osawa Township in one fell swoop. As soon as the farmers in osawa heard that Bobby Chen and Guangwu had rebelled against the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, the young children came to the camp to join the army with hoes, harrows, poles and sticks.

People simplify the phrase "cutting firewood for soldiers and raising the banner" to the idiom "raising the banner", which means holding high the banner of righteousness and rising up against it. More generally refers to the people's uprising.

Every bush and every tree seems to be enemies-in a state of extreme panic.

Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty appointed a group of brutal officials to suppress those who opposed her. Two of them are the most vicious, one is Zhou Xing and the other is Lai Junchen. They killed many upright civil and military officials and ordinary people by framing, accusing and inhumane criminal laws.

On one occasion, I sent a tip-off letter to Wu Zetian, the content of which was actually to report the rebellion of Zhou Xing's contact. Wu Zetian was furious and ordered Lai Junchen to investigate the matter. Lai Junchen is worried. He thinks that Zhou Xing is a crafty and treacherous person, and it is impossible for him to tell the truth just by a letter. But if I can't find out the result, the queen mother will blame me, and I can't afford it. what can I do? After thinking hard for a long time, I finally came up with a clever plan.

He prepared a sumptuous banquet and invited Zhou Xing to his home. Two people, you advised me to drink and talk it over. After three rounds of drinking, Lai Junchen sighed and said, "Brother, I usually handle cases and often meet some prisoners who refuse to plead guilty. I wonder what you can do? " Zhou Xing proudly said: "This is not easy!" Said, and took a sip of his glass. Lai Junchen immediately pretended to be sincere and said, "Oh, please give me advice quickly." Zhou Xing smiled insidiously and said, "You find a big urn, bake it around with charcoal fire, and then let the prisoner into the urn. You find a big urn, bake it with charcoal fire around it, and then let the prisoner into the urn. Think about it. What other prisoners don't confess? " Lai Junchen nodded yes again and again, and immediately ordered someone to bring a big urn to light the charcoal fire around him as Zhou Xing said, and then turned to Zhou Xing and said, "Someone in the palace secretly accused you of rebellion. I was ordered to investigate this matter. Sorry, please put yourself in the urn now. " Hearing this, Zhou Xing dropped the glass in his hand, then plopped to the ground and kowtowed again and again, saying, "I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I confess."

This story can be found two years after Tang Jian Ze Di granted permission. The idiom "please go to the urn" means to punish yourself with someone.

draw cakes to allay hunger

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a man named Lu Yu who was an official in Wei. Because he gave many good ideas to Wei Wendi Cao Pi, he was highly valued by the court and was promoted to middle school teaching assistant and middle school scholar.

On one occasion, Wei Wendi said to Lu Yu, "Whether the country can produce talents depends on you. When selecting talents, don't take those famous ones. Fame is just drawing a cake on the ground, and you can't eat it. "

Lu Yu replied: "You can't measure talents by their reputation, but you can find ordinary talents. Because they have high self-cultivation and good conduct, they should not be rejected when they become famous. I think the most important thing is to evaluate them and see if they are really talented. Now that the examination law has been abolished, it depends entirely on the rise and fall of reputation, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false. "

Wei Wendi adopted Lu Yu's opinion and ordered the formulation of the examination law.

During the Warring States Period, a Chu man crossed the river by boat. He was careless when the boat reached the middle of the river. Throw the sword you are carrying into the river. He immediately took out a knife and carved a mark on the side of the ship. He said, "This is where my sword fell into the water, so I want to carve a mark."

After the ship landed, the Chu people immediately jumped into the water from the place marked on the ship and caught the fallen sword. After fishing for a long time, there is still no sign of the sword. In fact, how can he find the sword? The boat kept going, but the sword didn't move. It's ridiculous to find a sword like him.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Ye Gong who liked dragons very much. In his home, dragons are painted on walls, carved on columns and embroidered on the cover. The real dragon in the sky heard that Ye Gong likes dragons, so he came to visit him at Ye Gong's house. His long tail stretched out in the hall and put his head into the window to look around. When Ye Gong saw the real dragon in the sky, he was terrified out of his wits and turned pale, so he quickly hid. It turns out that Ye Gong likes not real dragons, but fake dragons that are painted, embroidered and carved.

An airtight shield and an airtight spear cannot exist at the same time.

Waiting for unexpected gains

There was a farmer in Song State. He planted several acres of land and there was a big tree on his land. One day, while he was working in the field, he suddenly saw a rabbit flying like an arrow, slamming into that big tree, breaking his neck at once, kicking and dying. The farmer ran fast and picked up the rabbit. He said happily, "It's a waste of effort. I got a big bargain for nothing. You can have a good meal when you go back. " When he came home with the rabbit, he thought proudly, "I am so lucky." Maybe a rabbit will come tomorrow. I can't let go of such a bargain. "

The next day, he went to the field without working, just waiting for the rabbit to hit him. As a result, I waited for a day and found nothing. He was unwilling, so he sat under that big tree every day and waited for the rabbit to kill him. He waited and waited until the weeds in the field grew taller than the crops, and there was not even a rabbit.
