The meaning of the word: tree stump. This idiom means to wait for the rabbit to come to the tree stump.

Usage is used to describe clinging to one-sided experience, or delusion that one can succeed without subjective effort.

Source: This idiom comes from "Han Feizi·Five Beetles": "There were people in the Song Dynasty who plowed the fields. There was a plant in the field. A rabbit walked and touched the plant, broke its neck and died. Because it released the weeds and guarded the plant, hoping to recover. Get the rabbit. The rabbit cannot be recovered, but the person in the Song Dynasty laughs."

Allusion During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a farmer in the Song Dynasty. He went out early every day and came back late every day, cultivating his piece of land very carefully, but in the end, he only had a meager meal, which was just enough to fill his stomach. One day at noon, the sun was scorching. The farmer, who had worked all morning, felt very tired, so he sat under a big tree to rest. At this time, a hare rushed over without thinking, hit a tree stump not far from him, and passed out. The farmer ran over and picked up the rabbit. He couldn't help but feel happy and thought: Ha! Unexpectedly, I picked up a rabbit without any effort. It seems that I really have good luck! It would be great if I could pick up a rabbit every day from now on! After that, he really never farmed again. He stayed by the tree stump every day, hoping that any rabbit would bump into him again. One day, two days passed, ten days, half a month passed, and the farmer never waited for the second hare on the tree stump, but the crops in his field were deserted. This incident quickly spread throughout the Song Dynasty, and people laughed at his behavior. In fact, the hare hitting the tree stump was a very accidental thing. This farmer actually regards chance as inevitable and does not hesitate to put down his own work and wait for chance to appear. He is really stupid!

Original text

People in the Song Dynasty had farmers. There was a plant in the field. A rabbit walked along and touched the plant. It broke its neck and died. Because he released his weeds and guarded the plant, he hoped to get the rabbit again. The rabbit cannot be recovered, but it is the song of Song Dynasty that laughs. Today, if we want to use the government of the previous kings to govern the people of the current world, they will all be like Zhuzhu. ——From "Han Feizi·Five Beetles"

Translation

There was a farmer in the Song Dynasty who had a tree stump in his field. One day, a hare, which was running very fast, bumped into a tree stump, broke its neck and died. So the farmer put down his farm tools and stood by the tree stump day and night, hoping to get another rabbit. However, it was impossible to get the hare again, and he himself was ridiculed by the people of Song. Now we actually want to use the strategies of governing the country in the past to govern the people of today. This is the same mistake as waiting for the rabbit to happen! The Fable of Waiting for a Rabbit Part 2

It is said that the farmer abandoned his field because he was greedy for rabbit meat, and he fell seriously ill and passed away. Before he died, he said to his son: "Son, your father wanted to get something for nothing. , after planting this fatal seed, you must not learn from your father!" The son burst into tears: "Don't worry, Dad."

After the farmer died, The farmer's son gave the farmer a grand burial and picked up the old hoe. The son spent five hours eradicating the weeds. He then spent two days plowing the vegetable field, sowing the seeds, and sat down in the vegetable field. On a large bluestone next to me, I thought: I must remember my father's teachings and not be greedy for petty gains.

Just as I was thinking, suddenly, a big white rabbit grabbed two leaves with its paws, rushed down the mountain, jumped halfway up the mountain (that is, where the farmer's son was), and immediately fell. A fall. Then, the big rabbit patted the soil on his body, jumped again, and fell down. The farmer's son was very curious and walked over: "Hey, silly rabbit! What are you doing?" The rabbit patted himself and said Said: "Mom said: 'As long as you study something with your heart, you will definitely learn it.'" Then he said: "I am learning to fly!"

The farmer's son felt funny: "I'll help You go!" Then he took the rabbit home and tied it up. The rabbit said, "What are you doing?" The farmer's son said, "I'll let you fly to heaven tomorrow!" Who knows, in the evening, a large group of rabbits appeared. They rushed in, cut the rope with their sharp teeth, and ran away.

The next day, the farmer's son saw the rabbit running away, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Rabbit!!!! If I don't catch you, I will consider myself inferior to a pig or a dog!" From then on, the farmer's son He stayed by the stone waiting for the rabbit that just wanted to fly, and then wasted the crops. Finally, he became so angry that he couldn't bear to fall ill and passed away. The Fable of Waiting for a Rabbit Part 3

There was a farmer in the Song Dynasty who worked in the fields every day. All year round, we get up at dawn in the morning and walk to the fields with a hoe on our shoulders; in the evening, when the sun is about to set, we go home again with a hoe on our shoulders. It was really hard for him.

One day, the farmer was working in the fields, and suddenly a hare jumped out of the grass. The hare was frightened when he saw someone. He ran desperately, but unexpectedly hit a tree stump in the farmer's field, broke his neck and died. The farmer put down his farm work and walked over to pick up the dead rabbit. He was very grateful for his good luck.

When he got home in the evening, the farmer gave the dead rabbit to his wife.

The wife cooked delicious hare meat, and the couple had a wonderful meal talking and laughing.

The next day, the farmer went to work in the fields as usual, but he was no longer as attentive as before. After working for a while, he glanced and listened into the grass, hoping that another rabbit would come out and hit the tree stump. Just like that, he worked absentmindedly for a whole day, and he didn't even finish hoeing the ground that was supposed to be hoeed. He didn't see any rabbits coming out until dark, so he went home reluctantly.

On the third day, the farmer came to the field and had no intention of hoeing. He put the farm tools aside and sat on the field edge next to the tree stump, waiting for the wild rabbit to come out. But he waited another day in vain.

Later, the farmer stayed by the tree stump every day, hoping to pick up another rabbit, but he never got another rabbit. But the weeds in the farmer's field grew taller and taller, submerging his crops. The farmer therefore became the laughing stock of Song people.

Treating an accidental event as a common phenomenon or an inevitable rule is unfounded and very rash. If a person looks at the problem that way, he will do stupid things like this Song Dynasty man. The Fable of Waiting for a Rabbit Part 4

When I was in the second grade, I learned a fable called "Waiting for a Rabbit." It tells the story: In ancient times, there was a farmer working in the field. Suddenly a rabbit jumped out of the woods and hit a tree stump and died. The farmer hurried over and happily picked up the rabbit and took it home. From then on, he abandoned his hoe and sat by the stump all day long, waiting to see if any rabbits would be killed on the stump. Eventually, his crops all withered.

After reading this story, I thought the farmer was stupid. Because it was very accidental for the rabbit to hit the tree stump, but he regarded it as a frequent occurrence, so he learned nothing.

This story also made me understand a truth: there is no such thing as getting something for nothing. That farmer does not rely on his own labor to survive, but only wants to pick up rabbits for free every day. How whimsical! Just like our studies, if we don't work hard at ordinary times, we won't get good results.

Therefore, we must be down-to-earth in everything we do, and only those who pay will be rewarded. The Fable of Waiting for a Rabbit Part 5

It is said that after being ridiculed by others, farmers in the Song Dynasty who "waited for a rabbit" gave up farming and began a military career. This farmer also changed his bad habit of not loving working. He continued to train in the army, and finally made great achievements and was named General Pingnan.

One year, the King of Song had a quarrel with the Chu State because of the slander of a traitorous minister. The Chu State was tolerant in every possible way. Finally, he could not bear the provocation of the Song State and declared war on the Song State. Seeing that Chu was about to attack, Song State hurriedly ordered the farmer to serve as marshal and organize troops to defend Chu State. The farmer has grown up after several years of training. He first boosted morale, then moved the tiger away from the mountain, and mobilized the Chu generals and some Chu soldiers and horses. Finally, he sent troops to attack the Chu army. In the end, he defeated the Chu army with three victories and drove the Chu army out of the Song Dynasty. The farmer mobilized his troops and generals to pursue them, hoping to defeat the enemy in one go. However, they were attacked by an ambush on the way to pursue, and the Song Dynasty was defeated. The farmer had no choice but to give the order to stay where he was and regain his morale before pursuing again.

That night, the farmer was racking his brains to think of how to defeat Chu. Suddenly, a soldier captured an enemy spy. Spies revealed that the Chu army retreated into the mountains and had sent troops to raid the Song Dynasty. Don't know when it will arrive. The farmer came up with a "wait for the rabbit" strategy based on his own experience of waiting for the rabbit and this important information.

The next day, the farmer began to allow the Song soldiers to hunt, and at the same time ordered them to pack up and prepare to retreat. And the momentum was deliberately created to be very huge. After the King of Song heard the news, he issued an edict to force the farmers to pursue him. But the farmer sat back and ignored it. In this way, the morale of Song soldiers began to gradually recover, but privately, the farmer ordered his generals to go hunting early these days.

On the day when the Chu soldiers were about to attack, all the Song soldiers went hunting. The Chu soldiers came with great force and wanted to annihilate the Song army. But when we arrived at the camp, there was no one there. The leader of the army hurriedly ordered a retreat, but it was too late. He only heard the sound of a cannon nearby. When the Song army returned with a full load, their morale suddenly increased when they saw the Chu army. Everyone was gearing up to avenge their previous humiliation. I saw the Song soldiers picking up their weapons and launching a fierce attack on the Chu army with overwhelming force. After a period of fighting, the entire Chu army was wiped out, and the leader became a prisoner of the Song soldiers. Later, the farmer organized troops to pursue the remaining Chu army hiding in the mountains, but the Chu army was defeated. The King of Chu had no choice but to make an alliance with the State of Song. So far, the Song army won the battle between Song and Chu because of the farmers' wait-and-see strategy.

Suddenly, a rabbit jumped out of the grass. The rabbit hit a big tree on the edge of the field and died. The farmer was very happy. He felt that he was so lucky. If a rabbit came to his door every day, wouldn't it be more rewarding than plowing the fields? The more the farmer thought about it, the happier he became. From then on, the farmer no longer plowed the fields, but sat by the tree every day waiting for the rabbit. The days passed, but not a single rabbit appeared.

The farmer's land had not been cultivated for a long time and turned into a wilderness, and he was ridiculed by the people of Song Dynasty.

After reading this story, I thought: This farmer is too stupid, there will be no pie in the sky. It also made me understand a truth: no pain, no gain. We must study hard and study hard. Only in this way can we lay a solid foundation and realize our dreams. Chapter 7 of the fable "Standing and Waiting for the Rabbit"

Today, we learned the composition of the fable "Standing and Waiting for the Rabbit". It mainly tells the story of a farmer during the Warring States Period. Because he often did not have enough to eat, he had to persevere every day. Go to the fields and work hard.

One day, when he was concentrating on his work, a big and fat hare suddenly jumped out of the grass. Because the speed was too fast, it was already on the tree stump at the edge of the field before it had time to stop.

At this time, the farmer was surprised and happy that there were such good things in the world. So he took the hare home and cooked a sumptuous dinner. He thought, if there was a rabbit here every day, then I wouldn't have to work anymore. So, the farmer abandoned his field from then on, waiting next to the tree stump every day, waiting...

Through this article, I learned that people cannot try to get something for nothing. Only by being down-to-earth can we achieve success. Live your life well. The Fable of Waiting for a Rabbit Chapter 8

In a remote mountain village, there lived a farmer and his wife.

On a sunny morning, the farmer went to work in the vegetable field with a hoe, and he worked hard. Just when he was sweating profusely and his mouth was dry, a little white rabbit suddenly jumped out from the bushes. When it saw the farmer, it jumped around in fright and hit the tree stump and died. When the farmer saw the rabbit that he had killed, he ran over and said to himself: "This rabbit still dares to practice Iron Head Kung Fu!" As soon as he said this, the farmer jumped back home with the rabbit in his arms. When he arrived at the door of the house, he shouted with joy that I was so lucky today and picked up a rabbit that I had just killed.

After returning home, the farmer lay on the bed to rest, and his wife made hare soup for him. As soon as the soup was ready, the farmer and his wife started to drink it. It would be great if they had rabbit meat to eat every day!

The next day, the farmer stopped working hard and always looked around. See if the rabbit is coming. She went home disappointed. On the third day, he quit working and lay on the stone next to the tree stump, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, humming a little tune and crossing his legs. He thought to himself: "Come on rabbit, I'm waiting for you here!" From then on, he stopped working, the vegetable field was covered with weeds, and all the fruits of his labor were wasted.

In winter, the farmers regretted that there was no food, so they had to make cakes to satisfy their hunger. Fable of Waiting for a Rabbit Chapter 9

The farmer leaned against the tree stump and had a sweet dream: One day, the farmer was wandering on the roadside again, and suddenly he saw a rabbit running hard and bumped into it again. He died on a tree stump at the edge of the field. Then, one more came, two, three... Just when the farmer was dancing with joy, the farmer woke up and felt that he was cold, hungry, weak, and his stomach growled with hunger.

At this moment, a golden light flashed, and a white-haired old man came. The old man had a beard on his hands and said earnestly to the farmer: "Son, wait for the rabbit, you are lucky and lazy. If you want to have enough food and clothing, you can only rely on being honest and working hard. Silkworms spin silk into cocoons, swallows pick mud to build nests, and bees collect flowers to make honey. Realize it!" In a blink of an eye, the old man disappeared.

When the farmers woke up, they saw people cultivating, weeding, fertilizing, and killing insects everywhere in the farmland. Everyone was very busy. The farmer looked at his field covered with weeds and lowered his head in shame.

From then on, he worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, living and doing things according to the words of the grandfather in his dream. Three years later, he finally became a rich man.
