Historical idiom stories

After the historical idiom story 1 Wu Dong became a famous general Lu Xun, Lu Kang was brave and good at fighting, and was appointed as the captain of Jianwu at a young age.

In the later period of Wu Dong, the imperial court was destroyed, and the monarch Sun Hao was dissolute and tyrannical, killing innocent people. Lu Kang was very dissatisfied with this, so he protested many times. However, Sun Hao ignored these suggestions. Although the internal affairs of Soochow are chaotic, it has always been eyeing Soochow because of its extraordinary strategy and good use of troops, but it is helpless to unify Jin in the south of China.

At that time, yang hu (Ku), a general of the Jin Dynasty, was guarding Xiangyang. Seeing that Lu Kang could attack and defend, he knew that it was not easy to defeat Wu Dong at once, so he changed his strategy towards Wu Dong and adopted a peaceful strategy. Lu Kang also understood yang hu's intention, so he treated Jin Fang with the same attitude. At the border, the two countries often send envoys to each other to show friendship. Therefore, at that time, some borders between Wu and Jin were peaceful.

Sun Hao was very unhappy when he heard about the border situation, so he sent someone to ask Lu Kang. Lu Kang replied: "If I don't adopt such a policy, it will encourage weeds in Yang Hucheng." I heard that, Sun Hao didn't say anything. But he still wanted to send troops to attack Jin and unify China. So soldiers are often transferred. When Lu Kang knew this, he told Sun Hao, "Now the imperial court should strengthen agricultural production, reserve grain and enhance national strength. Let talented people play their role, let officials at all levels not be lazy, strictly reward and punish officials to motivate them, and carefully implement penalties to warn the people. If the picture is vain and heavy, then soldiers will be used everywhere, spending tens of thousands, and the war will be chaotic. Even if the enemy is not weakened, we will be dragged down by it. "

However, Sun Bin still turned a deaf ear to Lu W's advice, which led to the decline of national strength. After Lu Kang's death, the Jin army went south to make a crusade, and Wu was finally destroyed by the State of Jin.

The idiom "belligerence" now means to use all forces to wage war at will.

Historical Idiom Story 2 Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty appointed a group of cruel officials in order to suppress those who opposed her, two of whom were the most vicious, one named Zhou Xing and the other named 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 cunning and treacherous person, and it is impossible to get him to tell the truth through a snitch 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 smiled insidiously and said, "You find a big urn, bake it around with charcoal fire, and then let the prisoners in. Do you think there are prisoners who don't confess? " Lai Junchen nodded yes again and again, and immediately ordered someone to carry a big urn, light charcoal fire around it as Zhou Xing said, and then turned to Zhou Xing and said, "Someone in the palace secretly told you about the rebellion, and I was ordered to investigate. 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."

The idiom "please go to the urn" means that someone punishes himself in his own way.

Historical Idiom Story 3 Confucius Idiom Story-Every three people must have a teacher: According to legend, Confucius and Yan Hui once participated in Ranzi's mahjong. Yan Hui and others thought that Confucius had been an official in Shandong and had money in his hand, so the three of them took money from Confucius together. Confucius finally lost everything, even wearing a belt. After playing mahjong, people on the roadside asked him, "How about winning or losing?" Confucius said, "Three people win, and I lose." Shandong dialect is the same as winning, and the teacher is the same as losing, so it has become an idiom passed down from mouth to mouth. Four-word idiom-Waiting for the rabbit:

In the Song Dynasty, a man kept a litter of pigs. In winter, pigs are afraid of cold, so the Song people put a lot of grass in the pigsty to keep the pigs warm. A rabbit ran to the pigsty in the middle of the night to steal the grass from the pigsty, but because it was dark, it accidentally fell into the pig manure pool next to the pigsty and drowned. The next day, the Song people were very happy to see the dead rabbit, so they stayed beside the pigsty every day, hoping that another rabbit would steal the grass from the pigsty and drown in the pig manure pool. This is the origin of waiting for pigs and rabbits. Pigs and strains are interchangeable words, so they are also called waiting for pigs and rabbits in history books. Four-word idiom-kill the chicken to get the egg;

Once upon a time, there was a man who kept an old hen at home. This hen is very capable of laying eggs, but for a while, she never laid eggs and was sick. The man thought it was useless to raise chickens without laying eggs, so he killed them and found that gallstones were the cause of their illness. Gallstones of all sizes are like eggs. When killing chickens, it happened that Xianglin, the quick-talking sister next door, came to visit. When I saw it, I talked nonsense everywhere, saying that this man was short-sighted and killed an old hen who could lay eggs. Four-word idiom-self-recommendation:

Mao Sui, a young literary man, often writes short articles and publishes them on the Internet, but Netease moderators and netizens don't like his articles because they are too bad. I have been on Netease BBS for one or two years, and few people have replied to my articles, and the moderator has not given a word "recommendation". I am very distressed. So when you post an article on BBS in the future, you should add a word "recommendation" to the title of the article. For example, "Don't shout if you have pleasure" and "recommend". I am a great clown. Writers and moderators laughed at his self-deception, so they described it as self-recommendation. Four-word idiom-three visits to the cottage;

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei wanted to ask Zhuge Liang to help him conquer the world, so he went to Longzhong to ask him. Liu Biao, Liu Bei's boss, has always been dissatisfied with Liu Bei, and the meals prepared for him on weekdays are all leftovers. On this day, Liu Bei sat in Zhuge Liang's place after dinner, and his stomach began to hurt. He went to the toilet three times in a short time. Zhuge Liang thought that Liu was in poor health and came to see me hard today. He was very moved and went out of the mountain. Toilets are also called latrines, latrines and huts in rural areas. Therefore, later generations called this allusion "three visits to the cottage". Four-word idiom-looking at plum to quench thirst;

It is strange that later generations use it to describe poverty.

Kan Kan talk again:

Talk unhurriedly

In the hierarchy of the Zhou Dynasty, Confucius' position was equivalent to that of a doctor. Confucius is a man who tries to conform to the rites of Zhou at every step. He talks nonsense when he meets people.

Luz, a disciple of Confucius, is very brave. One day, he played the harp in Confucius' house, and his voice was murderous, which violated Confucius' taboo-benevolence. Confucius naturally didn't like it, so it was inconvenient to attack, so he was dissatisfied:

"Lutz's ability to play musical instruments has boarded the hall, but she has not yet entered the inner room. Why does he play the harp in my house? Boring! " As soon as all the disciples of Confucius heard that Old Master Q was dissatisfied with Luz, they immediately changed their views and attitudes towards Luz and despised him more and more.

Historical Idiom Story 5 Anti-customer-oriented

During the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei led an army to attack Hanzhong. When Xia, the satrap of Hanzhong, got the news, he immediately sent someone to inform his boss Cao Cao. Cao Cao was surprised when he heard that he immediately led 400,000 troops to resist Liu Bei's army.

Knowing that Cao Cao's reinforcements were coming soon, Xia sent them to attack. Liu Bei's general Huang Zhong saw Cao Jun coming to challenge him and sent general Chen Shi to meet him. After several rounds of fighting between Xia Houshang and Chen Shi, Xia Houshang pretended to be defeated and tried to escape, while Chen Shi chased them. Unexpectedly, on the way, suddenly a lot of big logs rolled down the mountain and fell on them, and Xia was captured alive.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Huang Zhong went to consult with the counselor Fa Zheng. Fa Zheng said, "Summer is impatient, but you have courage and no plan. We can take a step-by-step approach, encourage the army to advance, and then lure Xia and fight, so as to catch him. This is an anti-customer-oriented tactic. "

Huang Zhong adopted his suggestion and steadily advanced the position construction. Xia saw the Shu-Han army advancing on his side, so he organized the army to fight back and sent troops to lead it. As a result, Xia Houshang and Huang Zhong were captured alive as soon as they met.

Xia is very angry with him. He sent troops to surround Huang Zhong's army and swore. However, no matter how abusive Xia is, Huang Zhong just won't fight. As time went by, Cao Jun became more and more tired. At this moment, Huang Zhong suddenly went to war, and Xia could not help but guard against it. He was cut in half by Huang Zhong, and Cao Jun was defeated.

Later, people used "turning customers into the main" to compare guests to become masters, and to compare passive to active.

Historical Idiom Story 6 The last monarch of the Western Zhou Dynasty was Zhou Youwang Qi Guni. This man is fatuous, tyrannical and politically corrupt.

In 779 BC, a beautiful woman named Si was presented. Zhou Youwang dotes on her. Praise never likes to laugh. Wang You can't amuse her by singing and dancing with music and food. Someone put forward the idea of a beacon to light the alarm bell, attracting governors and military forces from all walks of life, making them fall for it and make them smile with praise. Wang Xinran agreed. He went to the palace to play with hymns, and in the evening, he gave orders to light the beacon smoke. When the local governor saw the smoke everywhere, he thought that bandits had invaded the capital, so he led his troops to rescue him. When I got there, I saw you drinking for fun. Wang You sent someone to say to them: "There are no bandits, you have to work hard!" "

The princes were deceived and came and went in a hurry. I couldn't help laughing, and the king was very happy.

He wrote a poem entitled "Little Brother" to express his feelings. The third verse of the poem says, "When you see mulberry trees and catalpa trees near the house, you must stop respectfully. I respect my father and I am attached to my mother. Who is not the flesh and blood of parents, and who is not born of parents? God gave birth to me, but where can I find my good day? "

Because the king was in a daze, his ministers turned against him. In 77 1 year BC, the grandfather Shen Hou of September 19th joined forces with Quan Rong's army to attack Haojing. Ordered the bonfire to be lit, but all the ministers were cheated, thinking that the King You had a whim to make you happy, so he didn't send reinforcements.

Historical idiom story 8 hanging beam stabbing stock

This idiom consists of two stories, and later generations combined it into an idiom of "hanging the beam and stabbing the stock" to inspire people to learn and study.

"Han Shu" by Ban Gu in the Eastern Han Dynasty records: "Sun is a treasure of literature, and he is eager to learn, sooner or later. When you are tired of sleeping, tie your head with a rope and hang the housing beam. " The story told in this passage is probably like this:

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous politician named Sun Jing. He was diligent and studious when he was young. He often closes the door alone, reading books from morning till night, forgetting to eat and sleep. In order to seize the time to study and accumulate knowledge, he also came up with a special method to deal with the "sleepy". What method is this?

In ancient times, men's hair was long. He found a rope, tied one end of the rope firmly to the beam, straightened the rope and tied the other end of the rope to his hair. He is tired of reading and dozes off. When his head is lowered, the rope will pull up, so his scalp will hurt. So, he immediately woke up and went on studying.

As early as the Warring States period, there was a famous politician Su Qin. When he was young, because he didn't have much knowledge, he went to many places to do things, and none of them were taken seriously. After returning home, his family was also very cold and looked down on him, which greatly stimulated him. Later, he made up his mind to study hard and often stayed up late at night. It is normal for people to stay up late, feel tired and take a nap. But Su Qin always thought that sleeping was a waste of time. So, he prepared an awl, and when he dozed off, he stabbed his thigh with the awl, which made him suddenly feel pain, so that he could wake up and continue reading at night.

Historical Idiom Story 9 Idiom: Rare.

Pinyin: büküdu not dé

Description: Description is very rare and hard to get (especially talent or rare items).

Idiom story:

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous man named Mi Fei, who was outstanding in talent. At that time, Kong Rong, a Chinese medicine practitioner at that time, paid special attention to him and recommended him to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. He wrote: the emperor's room and royal residence must store extraordinary wealth. If you are equal, it will be rare.

Xian Di didn't dare to decide, so he handed Kong Rong's recommendation form to Cao Cao. Cao Cao loves talents, so he summoned Mi Heng. I didn't know that Mi Heng looked down on Cao Cao and was rude to him. Cao Cao appointed Mi Fei as the drummer and ordered him to play drums to entertain guests at the banquet. Then, who knows, Mi Heng cursed Cao while playing the drums, which made Cao Cao very embarrassed. Cao Cao sent Miheng to Jingzhou to surrender Liu Biao, trying to kill him by Liu Biao's hand. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao regarded Mi Fei as a guest of honor, and every time he discussed or issued a proclamation, Mi Fei made a statement. Later, Mi Heng was disrespectful to Liu Biao. Liu Biao sent him to Huang Zu's department as a secretary. Then Mi Heng was very arrogant, very arrogant. Finally, he was killed by Howie.

Idioms come from this, and there are few descriptions. Then use it to praise talented people.

The historical idiom story 10 comes from Selected Works of the Three Kingdoms (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. Xun Xuan understood Cao Cao's thoughts and said, "In those days, Emperor Gaozu kept Guanzhong, and 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 has gone to attack Xuzhou regardless of Yanzhou, and we have more troops in Yanzhou, which is not enough 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 gone bankrupt, and Xuzhou did not 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 army will really go, and if the city is not captured, it will get nothing. 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.

When the historical idiom story 1 1 became more and more popular in northern Song Zhenzong, Li Chui was knowledgeable, honest and selfless, and worked as a bookkeeper and administrator in a pavilion, winning great prestige. At that time, the vulgar wind of flattery prevailed in officialdom, and Li Chui was very disgusted with it.

At that time, Ding Wei was a minister of the Song Dynasty, and he became the current prime minister by flattering him. After he became prime minister, he took control of state affairs and severely cracked down on those who did not listen to himself. Many people who want to be promoted and get rich, seeing that Ding Wei was very popular with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, went to curry favor with him, hoping to get benefits. However, Li Chui was never interested in flattery and refused to visit the Prime Minister's office.

Li Chui believes that Ding Wei Song Dynasty, as the prime minister of the dynasty, did not enforce the law impartially, but bullied his colleagues, which was really entrusted by the negative emperor and hoped by the people. Such people stink, and it's too late to hide, so why go to visit!

There is no airtight wall in the world. Many little people know Li Chui's thoughts, and report to Ding Wei in Song Dynasty to please him in this way. Ding Wei of the Song Dynasty was very angry when he learned about Li Chui's idea. He made an excuse to demote Li Chui to other places to be an official.

After Song Renzong acceded to the throne, Ding Wei lost his backer in the Song Dynasty, and all those who offended him were transferred back to Beijing. Li Chui was also recalled by the emperor and had the opportunity to be reused. A friend advised Li Chui to visit the new Prime Minister and stop being lofty. He calmly replied, "Thirty years ago, if I had given up my lofty ideals and visited Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty, I might have been regarded as a confidant by him and become a bachelor of Hanlin. Now that I am old, when I see that ministers are not impartial, I often don't give them face and criticize them face to face. Now I'm extremely depressed, how can I attach myself to the powerful, look others in the eye and let them introduce me to the son of heaven? "

Soon, someone reported his words to the new prime minister. The new prime minister thought he was a thorn in the side and it was very troublesome to put him in court, so he was demoted from Beijing and let him go to other places to be a small official. Although Li Chui has suffered so many grievances, he still has no regrets about what he has done.

Historical Idiom Story 12 Looking at Plums to Quench Thirst

One summer, Cao Cao led his army to crusade against Zhang Xiu. The weather is unusually hot, the sun is like fire, and there is not a cloud in the sky. The troops walked on the winding mountain road, with dense trees and rocks scorched by the sun on both sides, which forced people to breathe. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked and the marching speed was much slower. Even a few weak soldiers fainted on the side of the road.

Cao Cao saw that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and he was worried that the fighter plane would be delayed. He was very anxious. However, at present, tens of thousands of people can't even drink water. How can we speed up? He immediately called the guide and asked him quietly, "Is there a water source near here?" The guide shook his head and said, "The spring is on the other side of the valley. It's a long detour. " Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "No, it's too late." He looked at the forest in front of him, thought for a moment, and said to the guide, "Don't say anything, I'll think of something." He knew that even if he ordered the troops to speed up at the moment, it would not help. A brainwave, the solution came. He grabbed the horse by the stomach and quickly rushed to the front of the team. Pointing at the front with a whip, he said, "Soldiers, I know there is a large area of Merlin in front, where the plums are big and delicious. Let's hurry around this hill and go to Meilin! " Hearing this, the soldiers seemed to eat it in their mouths, and their spirits were greatly boosted, and their pace could not help but accelerate a lot.

The story comes from a false prophecy in Shi Shuo Xin Yu. The idiom "looking at plum to quench thirst" is to comfort yourself or others with fantasy.

Gai Xun's county is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou secretariat Gu Liang, who is a friend of Gai Xun. At that time, the governor of Wuwei, under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou secretariat, was bullying and doing all kinds of evil. People hate him, but they dare to speak out. However, Su Zhenghe, a subordinate of Liang Hu, was not afraid of bullying and dared to face up to difficulties, and investigated the crimes of Wuwei satrap according to law. Unexpectedly, Liang was afraid that tracing the crime of Wuwei satrap would involve high-level dignitaries and even implicate himself. He was anxious. He even wanted to kill Su Zhenghe, but he was not sure whether it was appropriate to do so, so he planned to go to his friend Gai Xun to discuss what to do.

As it happens, Gai Xun and Su Zhenghe are enemies. It was revealed to him that the secretariat would discuss with him what to do with Su Zhenghe, and suggested that he take this opportunity to persuade the secretariat to kill Su Zhenghe and have a personal vendetta. Gai Xun flatly refused to say: "Killing a good minister for private affairs is a sign of disloyalty; It is unkind to hurt others when they are in danger. "

Imagine the shadow of the bow on the wall in the glass as a snake. Metaphor is the fear caused by suspicion. Exodus: After being cheated this time, he didn't trust anyone.

Once upon a time, there was a man named Le Guang. Once, he invited a good friend to drink at home. But this friend drank very little wine, as if he had something on his mind. Soon, he said goodbye to go home.

This friend got sick after he came home. I saw a doctor and took medicine, but it didn't work. When Le Guang heard the news, he went to see his friend and asked him how he got sick.
