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.
Pretend to love what you are actually afraid of.
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.

contradictory
There was a man in Chu who sold both shields and spears. (He) boasted, "My shield is so strong that nothing can penetrate." (He) praised his spear and said, "My spear is very sharp, and there is nothing it can't pierce." Someone said, "What will happen if you stab your shield with your spear?" The seller can't respond.

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.
One word is more valuable than nine tripods-a person's words carry a lot of weight.
During the Warring States period, the army of Qin surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao, and the situation was very critical. Cheng Xiao, the king of Zhao, sent Ping Yuanjun to Chu for help. Pingyuan intends to lead 20 public tourists to complete this task. 19 of them have been selected, but one of them is still uncertain. At this time, he volunteered to go, Ping Yuanjun with a grain of salt, reluctantly took him to Chu.
When Ping Yuanjun arrived in Chu, he immediately talked with the king of Chu about "assisting Zhao", but the conversation was fruitless for a long time. At this time, Mao Sui said to the king of Chu: "We came to ask you to send reinforcements today, but you didn't say a word, but you should not forget that although Chu has many soldiers, it has been defeated and fought many times, and even the country has been lost." In my opinion, Chu needs to unite against Qin more than Zhao! " Mao Sui's words convinced the king of Chu and immediately promised to send troops to help Zhao.
When Ping Yuanjun returned to Zhao, he said with emotion: "When Mr. Mao arrived in Chu, Chu was more important than Jiuding Road." Jiuding Dalu: Together with Ding, it is a treasure of an ancient country. )
The idiom "It's a deal" comes from this story, and describing a sentence can play a very important role.
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.
Quench thirst by thinking of plum-masturbating with illusory hope
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, and the dense trees and rocks scorched by the sun on both sides made people breathless. By noon, the soldiers' clothes were soaked, the marching speed slowed down, and several weak soldiers fainted on the side of the road.
Cao Cao was worried that the marching speed was getting slower and slower, and that the fighter plane would be delayed. 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.
Stealing a clock to plug your ears-deceiving yourself.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhi Bo, a nobleman of the State of Jin, was defeated. Someone took the opportunity to steal from Fan's house and saw a big clock hanging in the yard. This clock is made of exquisite bronze with exquisite shapes and patterns. The thief was very happy. He wanted to take this beautiful clock home. But this clock is big and heavy, so it cannot be moved. There is only one way he can think of, and that is to break the clock and move home separately.
The thief found a big hammer and threw it at the clock desperately. There was a loud bang, which startled him. The thief panicked and thought, this is bad. Isn't this noise equivalent to telling people that I stole the clock here? In desperation, he jumped on the bell and tried to cover it with open arms, but how to cover it? The bell is still echoing in the distance.
The more he listened, the more afraid he became. He withdrew his hands freely and covered his ears hard. "Hey, the bell is getting smaller and I can't hear it!" The thief was very happy. "wonderful! You can't hear the bell if you can't cover your ears! " He immediately found two cloth balls to plug his ears, thinking that no one could hear the bell. So I let go and hit the bell. When the bell rang, it spread loudly to far away places. People heard the bell rush in and caught the thief.
The story comes from Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals: Self-knowledge. "Stealing the bell of the ear" describes "stealing the bell of the ear" as a metaphor for covering up ignorance and deceiving others.
