Idiom story

After the death of the great Qin Shihuang, the fatuous Qin Ershi Hu Hai succeeded to the throne. Qin Ershi liked eunuch Zhao Gao so much that the treacherous and cruel eunuch Zhao Gao mastered the real power of the imperial court.

Zhao Gao brought a sika deer to the court to test whether the court ministers and other officials were willing to obey him. He pointed to the sika deer and said, this is a horse!

Timid ministers have to agree with Zhao Gao that this is a horse. But there are also many brave ministers who say: this is obviously a sika deer, how can it be a horse! Eunuch Zhao Gao, how dare you bully you openly!

As a result, these brave ministers were finally killed by Zhao Gao. The world of Qin Dynasty was finally destroyed by Qin Ershi and Zhao Gao.

Idiom: A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.

Idiom story

A blessing in disguise is a fable from Huai Nan Zi Ren Xun. This shows Laozi's view that "misfortune is a blessing, and happiness is a blessing".

There is a saying in Ban Gu's "Tongyou Fu" in the Eastern Han Dynasty that "Bei Zuo knows his leaning", which shows his meaning. There lived an old man near the frontier fortress. Old people are proficient in numerology and are good at predicting the past and the future. Once, an old man's horse broke free for no reason (probably the mare was in heat) and ran to the place where the Hu people lived. Neighbors came to comfort him, and he knew it well and said calmly, "Isn't this a blessing?" A few months later, the lost horse suddenly went home again, with a good horse of the conference semifinals. The neighbors all came to congratulate his family when they heard about it. The old man was indifferent and said calmly, "Isn't such a thing a disaster?" The old man's livestock has raised many good horses, and his son is martial and likes riding horses. One day, his son rode a fierce horse to practice riding and shooting in the wild. The fierce horse lost control, threw his son heavily on his back and broke his thigh, which became a lifelong disability. When the neighbors heard about it, they came to offer their condolences. The old man said calmly, "Isn't this a blessing?" Another year passed, and the conference semifinals invaded the border and entered the fortress. All the able-bodied men in the four townships and eight neighbors were drafted into the army and took up arms to participate in the war. There are countless casualties. Residents near the frontier fortress, with ten rooms and nine vacant rooms, were all killed in the war. Only the old man's son didn't go to war because of his lame disability. Therefore, the father and son can live and spend the rest of their lives together. Therefore, blessings can be turned into disasters, and disasters can also be turned into blessings. This change is unfathomable and no one can predict it.

Idiom: Bole Xiangma

Idiom story

Legend has it that the fairy who manages horses in the sky is called Bole. In the world, people call people who are good at distinguishing the good from the bad horses Bole.

The first person is Bole, whose real name is Sun Yang, and he was born in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because of his excellent research on horses, people forgot his original name and have simply called him Bole until now.

On one occasion, Bole was entrusted by the King of Chu to buy a good horse that could walk thousands of miles every day. Bole explained to the king of Chu that swift horses are rare and hard to find. He needs to travel around the country. Please rest assured that the king of Chu will try his best to get things done.

Bole traveled to several countries and carefully inspected Zhao Yan, which is rich in famous horses. It's hard, but I still haven't found a good horse I like. One day, Bole came back from Qi. On the way, he saw a horse pulling a salt cart and struggling on a steep slope. This horse is tired and it is difficult to take every step. Bole has always been close to horses and walked towards him involuntarily. When the horse saw Bole approaching, it suddenly raised its head, widened its eyes and screamed loudly, as if to tell Bole something. Bole immediately judged from his voice that this was a rare good horse.

Bole said to the driver: "This horse gallops on the battlefield, and no horse can match it;" But it is not as good as ordinary horses for pulling carts. You'd better sell it to me. "

The driver thinks Bole is a big fool. He thought the horse was ordinary, had no strength to pull the cart, ate too much and was skinny, so he agreed without hesitation. Bole led a swift horse and went straight to Chu. Bole led the horse to the Chu Palace, patted the horse on the neck and said, "I found a good master for you." Like a swift horse, he understood the meaning of Bole, raised his front hoof and giggled, making his neck long, hissing and loud, like a stone pot of a big clock, reaching the sky. The king of Chu heard the neighing of horses and walked out of the palace. Bole pointed to the horse and said, "Your Majesty, I brought you a swift horse. Please watch carefully. "

When the king of Chu saw that the horse led by Bole was so thin, he thought Bole had fooled him and was a little unhappy. He said, "I believe you can look at the horse before buying it, but what kind of horse did you buy?" This horse is difficult to walk. Can it go to war? "

Bole said: "this is indeed a swift horse, but it looks very thin after being dragged for a long time and not carefully fed." As long as it is carefully fed, it will definitely restore physical strength within half a month. "

The king of Chu was a little skeptical and ordered the groom to try his best to feed the horse. Sure enough, the horse became thin and handsome. The king of Chu whipped his horse, only to feel that the wind was blowing around his ears and the time for breathing had already run out of a hundred miles away.

Later, a swift horse made great contributions to the battle of the king of Chu. The king of Chu has more respect for Bole.
