Individuals in the ancient state of Qi were worried that the sky would fall and they would have nowhere to live, eat or sleep. Another person worried about Qi's sorrow went to enlighten him and said, "The sky is just accumulated gas, and there is no place without air." You move, breathe, breathe, and move in the sky all day. Why are you worried that the sky will fall? "The man said," the sky is a mass of gas, that day, month, star, morning don't all fall down? The person who enlightened him said, "The sun, the moon, the stars and the morning are also things that shine in the air. Even if it falls, it won't hurt anything. " The man said, "What if the ground sinks? The person who enlightened him said, "The ground is just a pile of clods, which are everywhere. There is no place without clods. You walk and jump, walking around on the ground all day. Why worry about sinking? "(after this person explained) Qi Guocai was relieved and very happy; The people who enlightened him were relieved and happy.

Once upon a time in the state of Qi, there was a man who was timid and a little neurotic. He often thinks of some strange questions, which makes people feel confused. One day, after dinner, he sat in front of the door with a big cattail leaf fan to enjoy the cool, and said to himself, "What if it collapses one day?" Is it not wrong that we have no way out and will be crushed to death alive? "

Since then, he has been worried about this problem almost every day. His friends are worried about him when they see him in a trance and haggard all day. However, after everyone knew the reason, they all came to persuade him and said, "Dude! Why bother yourself about it? How can the sky fall? Besides, even if it really collapses, you can't solve it by yourself. Take it easy! " However, no matter what others say, he doesn't believe it, and he will always worry about this unnecessary problem. According to the above story, people later extended this idiom to "worrying about the sky." Its main significance is to wake people up from worrying about some unrealistic things. It has the same meaning as "much ado about nothing" [2]
