1, the story of cattle 1—— Nine Niu Yi hairs: Zhou.

In that dynasty, there was an emperor named Zhou Xuanwang. He heard that there was a man named Gong Yibo who had great strength. Zhou Xuanwang was very interested, so he sent for Gong Yibo to see how strong he was. Gong Yibo saw Zhou Xuanwang and said that I could break the leg of the bug and resist the power of the cicada flapping its wings in autumn. Zhou Xuanwang was very disappointed, saying that I could drag nine cows backwards and beat two tigers. So this story has been handed down. Generally speaking, people have great strength, but now it is also used to describe a thing that is very difficult and needs a lot of time and energy to complete.

2, the story of the cow 2-take the cow in the field:

Kong Ning and his father climbed the dog hole, escaped from The Last Month Of Summer's home, and went to Chu, crying to Chu Zhuangwang about Xia Zhengshu's rebellion. Of course, his affair with The Last Month Of Summer was concealed. Chu Zhuangwang was furious: Great! Only I can abolish the monarch of Chen, and you, a little Xia Zhengshu, actually killed him? So he ordered a crusade against Chen and killed Xia Zhengshu. In order to punish Chen, Chen was changed to Chu County. After all, it is a great event to destroy the country's counties and counties, so the ministers of Chu and the allies of Chu congratulated Chu Zhuangwang. Of course, loyalty is indispensable. However, there is a doctor named Shen Shushi in our country who neither congratulates nor shows loyalty. Chu Zhuangwang was so angry that he sent someone to blame him. Shen Shu had something to say, so he came to the palace of Chu. When Chu Zhuangwang asked Shen Shu, "I killed Xia Zhengshu, and others came to celebrate, but you didn't. Why? " Uncle Shen said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to say a few words. If you feel unreasonable, you can do whatever you want. " Chu Zhuangwang said, "Well, tell me about it." Shen Shu said: "Xia Zhengshu killed his monarch, and the crime was really great. It is just for your majesty to punish him for this. But I think your majesty has a problem in this matter. " I once heard of one thing: someone was walking with a cow, and the cow accidentally walked into someone else's field and killed many seedlings. The owner of this land took his cow as a punishment for this matter. It's really wrong for Penny to trample on other people's fields, but taking his cow to punish him is not punishment, but coveting it. Today, when the king was destroyed, Chen became the county. This is not only to punish Xia Zhengshu, but to covet Chen Guo's wealth. Is this benevolence and righteousness? "The king of Chu began to crusade against Chen, which was indeed a righteous act, but in the end he ended up with shameless behavior. I'm afraid it won't work anywhere. So I didn't come to congratulate you. I've finished, please hand over your sin. "Chu Zhuangwang was a bully, want to leave some good reputation at home, so his men also raised some loyal subjects, listen to their opinions, so as to correct their mistakes. Now, after hearing what Shen Shu said, I feel that I have really gone too far. Now it seems that all countries send people to congratulate them, but I don't know what they are saying behind their backs. So Chu Zhuangwang quickly ordered the restoration of the State of Chen, and invited descendants of Chen Hou, who had emigrated from other countries, to continue to serve as the monarch of the State of Chen.

3, the story of the cow 3:-Play the lute to the cow:

During the Warring States Period, there was a musician named Gong who played the piano very well. Many people like listening to him play the piano. Because of his superb piano playing skills, he has been liked and respected by many people. On a sunny spring day, Gong went for an outing in the suburbs. The spring breeze is blowing gently, bees are busy picking flowers, willows are sprouting, water waves are rippling on the lake, and a cow is grazing not far away. What a beautiful rural scenery! Gong Yiming was in a good mood. He took out his piano and couldn't help playing it. The wonderful sound of the piano is floating in this fresh and beautiful spring. In the past, when people heard Gong playing such a wonderful piano, they would surely hum a little tune to keep up with the rhythm, and some even could not help dancing. However, to the public's surprise, the cow is still eating grass quietly, looking indifferent. Gong felt that this song "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" was played by himself, and the score was too difficult to understand, so he played it with simple music. At this time, the ox still didn't respond. It ate the grass here and moved to a fatter place on the other side to eat grass. Gong is very unwilling. He thinks the cow is too far away to hear him play the piano. So he changed his place, this time only a few steps away from the old cow. He was sure that the old cow could hear him play the piano, so he played the piano at the old cow again. As for the old cow, she still eats grass slowly and shakes her tail from time to time to drive away bugs. I still ignored Gong's piano. Gong was very disappointed. He plays the piano and is loved by people. Why doesn't the old cow respond to his piano at all? At this moment, an old farmer came over and told him, "The piano you play is really beautiful, but for cows, cows don't understand at all." Look at me. The old farmer learned Niu Jiao several times: "Cleisthenes moo ...", and the grassy cow immediately turned around and followed the old farmer home. According to this story, people derived an idiom called "casting pearls before swine". It is a waste of breath to reason with unreasonable people; In addition, this idiom can also be used to remind those who only care about their own words and don't look at the object, so that the cow knows that he is going home with the old farmer.
