When the city gate caught fire, the fish in the pond lost their lips and teeth, so they made up a huge sum of money to rescue Zhao Ming from Wei, built a plank road and sneaked into Chen Cang.
Put the dragon in the painting into the pupil of its eyes to make it lifelike ―― adding vitality to the works of art.
Shi Yiyuan described the painting wonders of Zhang Sengyou, a painter in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. When writing an article or speech in the future, point out the essence in a few words at key points to make the content vivid and powerful.
Zhang Sengyou in the Liang Dynasty was from the State of Wu. During the period of Tian Jian, he served as the general of Wuling State, and Xing Wu was the magistrate. Zhang Sengyou painted four dragons on the wall of anrakuji in Jinling, but didn't draw eyes. The tourists thought it was strange that they should draw eyes, so they insisted that Zhang Monk friend draw longan. Zhang Sengyou had no choice but to draw his eyes on one of the dragons. I saw his white eyes lightly, and suddenly there was lightning and thunder, and the dragonfly with eyes rose into the sky! ..... After the weather will be the same, people find that the two dragons with long eyes are really gone! People are amazed. ...
Endure hardships to achieve some ambition.
Interpretation of salary; Firewood. Sleeping on straw still smells of bravery after eating and sleeping. It originally refers to the story of Gou Jian, the King of Yue in China during the Spring and Autumn Period, who made great efforts to restore the country. Later it evolved into an idiom to describe people who work hard and make great efforts.
In 496 BC, He Lv, the king of Wu, sent troops to attack the State of Yue and was defeated by the State of Yue. He Lu was also seriously injured and died. He Lv asked Wu Zixu to choose his successor. Wu Zixu loved Fu Cha alone and chose him as king. Since then, Gou Jian heard that Wu wanted to build a water army, and despite the opposition of others, he sent troops to destroy the water army. The result was surrounded by Fucha Jones and was defeated. The general also died. Fu Cha wanted to capture Gou Jian alive, but Fan Li made a plan and pretended to surrender, leaving a green hill without firewood. Fu Cha didn't listen to the advice of veteran Wu Zixu, leaving Gou Jian and others behind. After three years of humiliation, he was finally put back to Yue. Gou Jian secretly trained elite soldiers, sleeping every night without a mattress, just laying some firewood (called salary in ancient times), and hanging a bravery in the house. In order not to forget the shame of the past, he will taste bitterness from time to time.
In order to inspire the people, Gou Jian joined the work of the Queen and the people, and made the country stronger with the help of Vietnamese Qi Xin.
On one occasion, Fu Cha led most of the troops in the country to hold a meeting and asked Gou Jian to lead troops to cheer. Seeing a genial smile, Gou Jian pretended to go to the meeting, took 3,000 chosen men, captured the main city of Wu, killed the king of Wu and captured Fu Cha. Fu Cha regretted not listening to Wu Zixu and left Gou Jian behind. Before he died, he just asked not to hurt the people of Wu. ......
make three calls at the thatched cottage/repeatedly request sb to take up a post
Shi Yigu: Visit; A thatched cottage. It was originally a story about Liu Bei's visit to Zhuge Liang at the end of Han Dynasty. Metaphor is sincere, inviting and visiting sages with expertise many times.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a lot of chaos in the Yellow turban insurrectionary. Cao Cao sat in the imperial court, and Sun Quan supported the troops. Liu Bei, the imperial clan of the Han Dynasty, listened to Xu Shu and said that Zhuge Liang was very knowledgeable and talented, so he took a gift to Wolonggang in Longzhong (now southwest of Nanyang, Henan Province, and is said to be southwest of Xiangyang, Hubei Province) to ask Zhuge Liang to come out to help. It happened that Zhuge Liang was out that day, so Liu Bei had to turn back in disappointment. Soon, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei braved the snowstorm and invited them for the second time. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang went out for a walk again. Zhang Fei doesn't want to come again. Seeing that Zhuge Liang was not at home, he urged him to go back. Liu Bei had to leave a letter expressing his admiration for Zhuge Liang and asking him to come out of the mountain to help him save the country's crisis. After a while, Liu Bei was a vegetarian for three days and was ready to invite Zhuge Liang again. Guan Yu said that Zhuge Liang may have a hollow reputation, but he may not have real talent and learning, so he doesn't have to go. Zhang Fei, on the other hand, advocated that he should make a phone call alone and tie it up with a rope when he didn't come. Liu Bei scolded Zhang Fei and went to visit Zhuge Liang with them for the third time. At this time, Zhuge Liang was sleeping. Liu Bei dare not disturb him. He stood until Zhuge Liang woke up and sat down to talk to each other.
Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei was interested in doing things for the country and sincerely asked him for help, so he came out to help Liu Bei establish the Han Shu Dynasty.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms called Liu Bei's three invitations to Zhuge Liang "three visits to the cottage". Zhuge Liang also said in the famous "Teacher's List" that "the first emperor had no intention of being a minister, but he was self-defeating and took care of his ministers in the grass." So when the world saw someone go to that person's home several times in a row and asked the person he admired to come out and help him, he quoted this sentence to describe his desire and sincere mood. That is to say, I am not ashamed to ask questions, and I am open-minded to seek talents. In the 12th year of Jian 'an (207), when Zhuge Liang was 27 years old, Liu Bei visited the Caotang in Longzhong, Nanyang, and met Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang brilliantly analyzed the situation at that time, and put forward the strategic idea of seizing Jing and Yi as a base, reforming politics at home, uniting with Sun Quan abroad, appeasing Yi Yue in the south, waiting for an opportunity, dividing the troops into two northern expeditions and unifying the whole country.
Imitate clumsily
Interpretation effect: imitation; Chin: Celebrate and frown. The original metaphor is not based on the specific situation, blindly imitating others, and the result is counterproductive. Now it refers to the stupidity of imitators.
Xi Shi has a heart attack. One day, her illness broke out again. She put her hand over her chest and frowned, revealing a charming female beauty. When she walked through the countryside, all the villagers opened their eyes. What a beautiful woman!
There is an ugly girl named Dong Shi in the countryside. She looks ordinary and has no cultivation. She usually acts rudely and speaks loudly, but she dreams of becoming a beautiful woman all the time. Today she wears such clothes and combs her hair like that tomorrow, but still no one says she is beautiful.
On this day, she saw the stone frowning on her chest and won the favor of so many people, so when she went back, she also learned to look like a stone, frowning on her chest and walking around the village. I didn't know that ugly girl's affectation made her look even uglier. As a result, the rich in rural areas saw the ugly monster and immediately closed the door tightly; The poor people in the countryside saw the ugly girl coming and immediately took away their wives and children. People were heartbroken when they saw this grotesque ugly woman who imitated the stone and walked around the village. It's like seeing the plague.
To teach fish to swim
Shi Ban, a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, was a famous carpenter. Dancing in front of Luban with an axe. Showing off one's skills in front of experts.
It is said that Lu Ban was a native of Lu during the Warring States Period. He is an expert in making exquisite instruments. People call him an "able man", and people always regard him as the ancestor of carpenters. Who dares to show off his axe skills in front of Lu Ban, that is to say, to show off his skills in front of experts? This ridiculous behavior of being too modest is referred to as "playing axe in front of Lu Ban" or "playing axe in front of Lu Ban". This is similar to the saying of "playing broadsword in front of Guan Gong".
As a matter of fact, the idiom "teach fish to swim" took shape as early as the Tang Dynasty. Writer Liu Zongyuan has such a sentence in a preface: "Only when you hold an axe at the door of the class can you be strong!" It means too thick-skinned to show off the skills of using an axe in front of Lu Ban and Ren Ying (also skilled axe hands).
Last stand-Fight a life-and-death battle.
Back water: back water means there is no way out. Metaphor and the enemy do or die.
Canon so Han Xin, Huaiyin (now southwest of Qingjiang, Jiangsu) people. He is a general under Hanwang Liu Bang. In order to defeat Xiang Yu and seize the world, he made a plan for Liu Bang, first capturing Guanzhong, then crossing the Yellow River eastward, defeating and capturing Wei who betrayed Liu Bang and surrendered to Xiang Yu, and then eastward attacking Zhao Wangxie.
Han Xin's troops have to pass through a very narrow mountain pass, called the wellhead. Li Zuojun, the counselor of the Prince of Zhao, advocated sending troops to cut corners while blocking the mouth of Jingxing to cut off the supplies of the Han army. Without backup, Han Xin's expeditionary force will surely fail. But General Chen Yu refused to listen, relying on his military superiority, and insisted on fighting the Han army head-on. Han Xin was very happy when he learned that. He ordered the troops to camp 30 miles away from Jingxing, and in the middle of the night, let the soldiers have some snacks and let them eat after winning the battle. Later, he sent 2,000 Qingqi to sneak forward from the path and let them rush into Zhao's camp quickly after Zhao left the camp and hang the Han flag. Another 10,000 soldiers were sent to deliberately turn their backs on the river to lure Zhao.
At dawn, Han Xin led the army to attack, and the two sides fought fiercely. Soon, the Han army defeated the backwater position for a pretence, and all Zhao troops left the camp and came to pursue. At this time, Han Xin ordered the main attack, and the soldiers who had no retreat turned around and pounced on the enemy. Zhao can't win and is going back to camp. Suddenly, the flag of the Han army was planted in the camp, and he fled everywhere. The Han army pursued the victory and won a total victory. When celebrating the victory, the generals asked Han Xin, "According to the art of war, this array can carry mountains on its back and face the water. Now you've asked us to line up in last stand, and you've said that you're going to give Zhao a full meal. We didn't believe it at the time, but we really won. What kind of strategy is this? "
Han Xin smiled and said, "This is something in the art of war, but you didn't notice it. Didn't Sun Tzu's Art of War say,' You will be born when you are trapped, and then you will live'? If there is a retreat, the soldiers have fled, how can they be desperate! "
This story evolved from the idiom "the last battle", which is mostly used in military actions and can also be used in actions with the nature of "decisive battle".
Cut off all retreat
Interpretation kettle: pot. Break the rice cooker and sink the ferry. Metaphor does not leave a retreat, we must win the battle, and we are determined to do it regardless.
Historical background Chen Sheng and Guangwu responded to the uprising in Daze Township, Xiang Liang, and Xiang Yu responded to the uprising in Wuzhong (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province). Xiang Liang's father, Xiang Yu's grandfather, is a famous Chu Xiang Yan. Xiang Yu's father died in his early years, and he grew up under the care of his uncle Xiang Liang. At an early age, he was determined to avenge his country. His uncle teaches him calligraphy, but he doesn't study hard. Let him learn fencing, he doesn't work hard. Xiang Liang was very angry and called him worthless. But Xiang Yu said: "Reading and writing, at most, just remember your own name." When I am good at fencing, I can only fight with a few people. I want to learn the skill of one man against ten thousand people. "After hearing what Xiang Yu said, Xiang Liang felt that his nephew was very ambitious, so he taught Xiang Yu to study the art of war. Xiang Liang himself is good at making friends. Whenever he meets someone who has something important, he tries to help. Local people like him very much. He has become a hero leader in Wuzhong, and even local officials should respect him.
Many people came to see Qin Shihuang's last cruise after Wuzhong. People standing on both sides, seeing this majestic and luxurious emperor driving a Mercedes-Benz, all stood there in a daze, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe (Chu m: n). Only Xiang Yu, who was a head taller than others in the crowd, stared at a pair of big eyes with gods under heavy eyebrows and blurted out: "What's the big deal? Anyone can take his place! " Xiang Liang quickly covered Xiang Yu's mouth in fright and warned in a low voice, "You are talking nonsense here. If someone informs on you, you will destroy nine families. " After returning home, Xiang Yu complained about his uncle and said, "On weekdays, you always let me practice martial arts and learn the art of war, so that I never forget the hatred of my home country." Why are you so timid today? " Xiang Liang said, "We should do great things, and we should not be impatient. If you want revenge, you must learn to wait for the opportunity. "
This year, Qin Shihuang died on his way back to Xianyang. In the second year, II succeeded to the throne, and Chen Sheng and Guangwu revolted in Daze Township. After the news came, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu were very happy and excited. They thought it was time to get revenge on Chu, so they killed the local leaders and gathered 8000 soldiers to rise up against Qin.
Soon, the news came that Chen Sheng was defeated by Zhang Han, a general of the State of Qin. Xiang Liang quickly led 8000 soldiers from Jiangdong, crossed the Yangtze River and advanced to the western front. Some scattered anti-Qin teams, such as the armed forces led by Chen Ying, Ying Bu and Lv Chen, all defected to Xiang Liang's team one after another, and suddenly increased to 670,000 people. But by this time, Chen Wang had been killed by the traitor Zhuang Jia, and the Zhang Chu regime had been torn apart. At this critical juncture, Xiang Liang held a meeting of rebel leaders in Xue County (now south of Tengzhou, Shandong Province) to discuss the selection of rebel leaders. At this moment, an old man in his seventies named Fan Zeng came to offer suggestions. He said to Xiang Liang, "The state of Qin destroyed six countries, and Chu was the most unfortunate. Chu Huaiwang was deceived and died in the State of Qin, and the Chu people still miss him. You started from Jiangdong, and many people came to see you. This is because your family has been a general of Chu for generations, and people want you to restore Chu. If you make Chu Huaiwang's descendants king, you will certainly be able to call on more people. "
Xiang Liang felt that Fan Zeng's words were very reasonable, so he sent people to look around for the descendants of Chu Huaiwang. Not long after, we found Chu Huaiwang's grandson Xiong Xin, who was only 13 years old and was herding sheep for others. So Xiang Liang led everyone to make Xiong Xin king of Chu, and in order to conform to the nostalgia of the Chu people for the old country, he was still called "Chu Huaiwang". After the news spread, many people came to join Xiang Liang's team.
Xiang Liang placed Chu Huaiwang in Xuyi (now the northeast of Xuyi County) and led his troops to continue westward. Defeated in Dong 'e (now northeast of yanggu county, Shandong Province), defeated in Puyang (now northeast of Huaxian County, Henan Province), and then captured Dingtao (now south of Heze, Shandong Province). At this time, the old nobles of Qi, Zhao, Yan, Wei and other countries also established kings on their own land and restored their titles, and the world of Qin was about to perish. Xiang Liang ordered Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, who had recently defected to him, to lead troops to the west quickly. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang killed Li You, the general of the Qin Dynasty. Seeing the critical situation, Zhang Han asked the Qin government to send reinforcements. After Xiang Liang's victory, he was complacent and unprepared. He attacked Dingtao and killed Xiang Liang. After Xiang Liang's death, the insurgents suffered heavy losses, so Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and Lv Chen had to retreat to Pengcheng (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu) and take the defensive.
Besides, Zhang Han, the general of the Qin Dynasty, after defeating the main force of the Chu army led by Xiang Liang, thought that the Chu army was weakened and there was no need to worry, so he put them aside and led the army across the Yellow River to attack Zhao Xie, who claimed to be the prince of Zhao at that time. The Prince of Zhao and his advisers Zhang Er and Chen Yu could not resist Qin Jun's attack, so they had to retreat to Julu (now Pingxiang County, Hebei Province) and hold their ground. Zhang Han sent general Wang Li to besiege the giant Lucheng like an iron drum, Qin Jun set an iron wall outside the city, and Zhang Han personally led the main force to transport food and grass to replenish the besieged Wang Li army.
Zhao was surrounded and couldn't keep it, so he quickly sent for help. Zhao Dajun, granted by Yan and Ji, had already arrived, but seeing Qin Jun's powerful influence, no one wanted to be an egg that touched the stone, and all of them were stationed in a place far away from Qin Jun.
In addition, Chu Huaiwang also received a distress letter from the prince of Zhao, and quickly prepared reinforcements, sent Yi Song as a general, and asked him to go north with Xiang Yu and Fan Zeng to save Zhao.
Yi Song set out from Cheng Peng with a great army, and the soldiers rested for several months. Now I hear that they are going to fight against Qin Jun's main force, rubbing their hands and fighting spirit is very strong. However, Yi Song is a timid and selfish villain. He won the trust of Chu Huaiwang with sweet words and cheated the relieving, but he didn't want to fight hard with Qin Jun at the gate. When he arrived in Anyang (now east of Cao County, Shandong Province), he ordered the whole army to rest in place. This stay is more than 40 days. He drinks and makes merry in the tent every day and never mentions helping Zhao.
Xiang Yu couldn't bear it. He came to see Yi Song: "Saving soldiers is like putting out a fire. Now the prince of Zhao is in danger. We should immediately lead our troops across the Yellow River and cooperate with Zhao Wang, and we will definitely defeat Qin Jun! " Yi Song gave Xiang Yu a sidelong glance and said slowly, "Where do you know the wonderful use of the art of war? Our goal is to destroy Qin Jun. My idea is to let Qin and Zhao fight to the death first, so that we can reap the benefits of the fishermen. I can't compare with you on the battlefield. If you want to make suggestions, you are far behind me. " Xiang Yu was robbed for nothing, but he didn't have an attack. He angrily walked out of the army account.
Yi Song smiled at his back, then drafted an order and announced it to the whole army, saying, "Soldiers should fight fiercely like tigers and wolves, but anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded." This is obviously aimed at Xiang Yu, telling him to obey orders obediently.
Xiang Yu is a hot temper, how can he swallow this tone? One morning, armed to the teeth, he strode into Song Yijun's tent and once again demanded that troops be sent to rescue Zhao immediately. Song Yi lost his temper and shouted, "My military orders have been issued. Would you like to try the order first? " Xiang Yu roared, "I want to borrow my order!" Song Yiben was a straw bag, and he was scared into a ball at once. Xiang Yu cut off his head with a sword. When the soldiers heard that Yi Song had been killed, they immediately expressed their willingness to obey Xiang Yu's command and appointed Xiang Yu as the acting general.
Once in power, the order will be settled. Xiang Yu served as the commander-in-chief of Zhao Dajun, ordered the soldiers to bring enough food for three days each, and then ordered to smash all the cooking pots used for marching. The soldiers were shocked. Xiang Yu said, "No need for a pot. We can go into battle lightly and save Zhao immediately. He is in danger! As for eating, let's go to Zhang Han military camp and take a pot to cook! " When the army crossed the zhāng River, Xiang Yu ordered the soldiers to sink all the ferries and burn all the marching tents. The soldiers saw that their retreat was gone, and no one could live without winning the battle.
Xiang Yu's Chu army quickly surrounded Wang Li's army and launched nine fierce battles with Qin Jun. The Chu army crossing the river took one as ten, and ten as a hundred. They were all tigers in the mountains and fought bravely. On the battlefield, smoke covered the sky and the sound of ShaSheng was deafening. The soldiers of the Chu army fought harder and harder, and the earth shook and the blood became a river. After many confrontations, the Chu army finally defeated Qin Jun, killed the Qin general Su Jiao and captured Wang Li. The parties concerned were beaten to death and set themselves on fire (fén). Zhang Han hurried back with beaten army. When the reinforcements sent by the old nobles saw Xiang Yu's victory, they both admired and feared. From then on, Xiang Yu became a general, and all the vassal armies were under his command.
Zhang Han led the beaten army to retreat for dozens of miles, and sent people to Xianyang for help. However, Zhao Gao was busy seizing the throne and no reinforcements were sent. In desperation, Zhang Han led the rest of the Qin soldiers to surrender to Xiang Yu.
In the fierce battle of Julu, Xiang Yu's Chu army defeated Qin Jun's main force, and the powerful Qin Dynasty was unable to resist the attack of peasant rebels. Soon, Liu Bang's team invaded Xianyang and overthrew the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu immediately led the troops to the west. Xiang Yu is called "the overlord of the west Chu", but Fan Ceng said to you, "If you want to be king forever, you must kill Liu Bang." But Xiang Yu thought, "I used to be a friend. Why do I have to be an enemy?"
At the Hongmen banquet, you repeatedly refused to kill Liu Bang and named Liu Bang Hanwang, but who knows that heroes cherish heroes?
You are defeated. You are defeated. Although you are "angry at the world", you can only break through and escape, leaving your concubine.
Opposite, it is the hometown you miss day and night-Jiangdong. There is a boat in the middle of Wujiang River. After that, the meeting can be held.
But I don't want to spend the Wujiang River, thinking that I have no face to see my elders in Jiangdong, and the tide is gone, so it is difficult to turn the tide.
You fell down, with resentment, leaving many thoughts for future generations.
The fire at the city gate harmed the fish in the moat-in the chaos, innocent bystanders got into trouble because of the misfortune of others; Caught in crossfire
Interpretation of righteousness: disaster. Pool: moat. When the gate was on fire, everyone went to the moat to get water. The water ran out and the fish died. It is a metaphor for innocent people being dragged into trouble and suffering from disasters.
The classic phrase "the city gate is on fire, which harms the fish in the pool" comes from Du Bi's Baliangwen in the Northern Qi Dynasty: "I am afraid that the Chu ape will die, delay the trees, and the city gate will catch fire, which will harm the fish in the pool." Its meaning can be explained as follows:
Once upon a time, there was a place where there was a pond under the city gate and a group of fish swam happily in it. Suddenly, the gate was on fire. A fish saw it and shouted, "No, the gate is on fire. Run!" " "But other fish don't think so. They think there is a fire at the city gate, which is far from the pond, so there is no need to make a fuss. No fish escaped except that one. At this time, people came to the pond to get water and put out the fire with water. After a while, the fire was put out, the water in the pond was drained, and the fish in the pond were damaged. This story tells us that there is a connection between fire, water and fish. The water in the pond can put out the fire in the city gate, which is a direct connection, while the fish is indirectly connected with the fire in the city gate, which is connected through the intermediate link of pool water. Metaphor is suffering for no reason.
If the lips are gone,
Interpretation of righteousness: loss. Without lips, teeth will feel cold. Metaphor is closely related, closely related.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, if you want to expand your power and territory, you will find an excuse to say that neighboring 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.
Pretend to be a member of the ensemble ― just make up the numbers.
Over-interpretation: inconsistent with the facts, inaccurate and false. Reed instrument: A reed instrument. Supplement: make up. People who can't play the flute are mixed in the flute team. Metaphor means that you have to be equipped with ability if you don't have the ability, and inferior goods pretend to be good goods.
In ancient times, Qi Xuanwang, the monarch of the State of Qi, loved music, especially listening to the flute. He has 300 musicians who are good at playing the flute. Qi Xuanwang likes to be lively and ostentatious, and always wants to show the majesty of the monarch in front of people, so every time he listens to the flute, he always asks the 300 people to play for him.
A Southland gentleman heard about Qi Xuanwang's hobby and thought it was a good opportunity to make money. He ran to Qi Xuanwang and boasted, "Your Majesty, I am a famous musician. No one who has heard me play the flute is unmoved. Even birds and animals can dance and flowers will tremble with the beat. I would like to dedicate my stunt to your majesty. " Qi Xuanwang was very happy to hear this. Without investigation, he accepted him very readily and put him in the 300-member blowteam.
After that, Mr. Nan Guo took the 300 people to Qi Xuanwang to play an ensemble, enjoying the same generous treatment as others, and he was extremely proud.
In fact, Mr. Nanguo told a big lie, and he couldn't blow it out at all. Every time I play ball, Mr. Nan Guo is mixed in the team with a shovel in his hand. He shakes his body when people shake it. Others shook their heads, and he shook his head. His face pretended to be emotional and forgot me. He seems to be as devoted as others, and really can't see any flaws. In this way, Mr. Nanguo cheated day after day and got a salary for nothing.
But it didn't last long. A few years later, Qi Xuanwang, who loved ensemble, died, and his son Min succeeded to the throne. King Qi Min also likes to play the flute, but unlike Qi Xuanwang, he thinks it's too noisy for 300 people to play together, so it's better to play solo. So King Qi Min issued an order to these 300 people to practice hard and get ready. He would let these 300 people play one by one in turn for him to enjoy. After receiving the order, the musicians actively practiced and wanted to show their skills. Only Mr. Nan Guo, who has just made up a few words, is as anxious as a cat on hot bricks. He thought about it and felt that he couldn't get along this time, so he had to pack up and run away overnight.
Encircling Wei to save Zhao-Encircling Wei to save Zhao
The interpretation originally refers to the method of the Qi army besieging Wei during the Warring States Period, which forced Wei to withdraw its attacking troops and saved Zhao. The latter refers to the tactics of attacking the enemy's stronghold behind the enemy's back and forcing the attacking enemy to retreat.
During the Warring States Period, Wei led Pang Juan to besiege Handan, the capital of Zhao. Zhao asked Qi for help, and the King of Qi ordered Tian Ji and Sun Bin to lead an army to save him. Sun Bin thought that Wei Jun's main force was in Zhao, and the interior was empty, so he went out to attack Wei Du's girder. Therefore, Wei Jun had to withdraw from Handan to save the country, passing through Guilin Pass, and was stopped by his own troops, almost completely annihilated. This allusion refers to the tactics of bypassing the enemy's rear to force them to withdraw.
In 354 BC, the Wei army surrounded Handan, the capital of Zhao. The two sides fought for more than a year, and Zhao was weak and Wei was tired. At this time, Qi responded to Zhao's call for help, and sent Tian Ji as the general and Sun Bin as the strategist, leading 80,000 troops to save Zhao. Where is the attack direction? At first, Tian Ji prepared to go straight to Handan. Sun Bin believes that to untie the tangled silk thread, you can't pull hard with your hands, and you can't directly participate in fighting with others. To send troops to clear up, we should avoid reality and get to the point. He suggested to Tian Ji that the elite troops of Wei are now concentrated in Zhao, which is empty inside. If we lead the troops into the capital girder of Wei, occupy its traffic arteries, attack its empty space, and March into the capital girder of Wei (now Kaifeng, Henan), Zhao's Li will be spared to save himself, while the Qi army will take advantage of its fatigue to meet the returning enemy in Guiling, a pre-selected combat area. Wei Jun was defeated, and Zhao Zhiwei was solved. Sun Bin's method of encircling Wei to save Zhao is a famous war example in the history of our country, and it is listed as one of the 36 strategies by later military strategists. Encircling Wei to save Zhao is an evasive strategy, which has been appreciated by military strategists in past dynasties and still has vitality today.
Encircling Wei to save Zhao-Encircling Wei to save Zhao
It was Sun Bin who commanded the Qi army to defeat Wei Jun led by Pang Juan, and saved the famous Battle of Zhao. From then on, Sun Bin became famous all over the world.
Pretend to repair the cliff road southbound, secretly retreat to take Chen Cang-do one thing to cover another; Pretend to act in one place and take real action in another.
Shiqian Chencang, an ancient county name, is located in the east of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province. It means that when Liu Bang sent troops from Hanzhong to attack Xiang Yu, he deliberately built a plank road to confuse the other side and secretly detoured to attack Chencang to win. Metaphor confuses each other with an illusion, but in fact it has other plans.
The classic saying, "build a clear road and spend an hour in the dark" is an unconventional law of using troops in ancient times and also a military strategy. There are many very successful examples in history.
The so-called "plank road" refers to the passage formed by drilling supports and laying boards in dangerous places on cliffs, which can be used for marching and transporting grain and hay, and can also be used for caravan business travel. Chencang, the name of the ancient county (now east of Baoji City, Shaanxi Province), is the main throat from Hanzhong to Guanzhong.
According to the Records of the Emperor Gaozu, Xiang Yu claimed to be the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, and then he enfeoffed his territory to various governors. Among them, Ba, Shu and Hanzhong counties were enfeoffed to Liu Bang and established as Hanwang.
On the way to expand the territory, Liu Bang ordered his men to burn the plank road just to show Xiang Yu that he had no intention of expanding eastward. After Liu Bang had a certain strength, he seized the opportunity to move eastward quickly, and his ambition was to compete with Xiang Yu. Han Xin, the general of Liu Bang, made a plan for Liu Bang to seize Chen Cang.
Chencang is the only place for Liu Bang to enter Guanzhong. There are steep mountains between the two places, and Wang Yong and Zhang Han are heavily guarded.
According to Han Xin's plan, Liu Bang sent a general named Fan Kuai to lead 10,000 people to repair the 500-mile plank road, which was repaired within one month under military orders. Of course, such a huge project cannot be completed even in three years.
It is this that confuses and paralyzes Chen Cang's defenders. Zhang Han, the brave king of Chencang, never imagined that Liu Bang's elite troops actually touched the unknown path and attacked Chencang over mountains and mountains.
Liu bang successfully advanced into Guanzhong and gained a firm foothold through "the road to success", which opened the curtain for his career in the Han Dynasty.
The military meaning of this idiom is: confuse the enemy from the front, cover up his attack route, and make a surprise attack from the flank. This is a diversion and a surprise strategy. By extension, it refers to the strategy of confusing each other with obvious actions and making people unprepared. It is also a metaphor for secretly carrying out activities. Sometimes, "clear path" can be omitted and "darkness" can be used alone.
