Question 1: Is it one idiom or two idioms that the ruler is short but the inch is strong? Yes, the implication is that no matter how powerful a person is, there must be someone more powerful than him in the world. We are warned not to Be arrogant and don't be satisfied with the status quo. A ruler is long and an inch is short, which means that no matter how powerful a person is, he has his shortcomings, and no matter how weak a person is, he also has his strengths. Therefore, people should learn from each other's strengths. You can't be arrogant, you are short-sighted. Fables use metaphorical stories to express meaningful truths and inspire people. The term was first seen in "Zhuangzi" and emerged in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and later became a genre of literary works. Fables can be divided into three types of sources: Fables: "The Tortoise and the Hare", "Contradiction", "The Farmer and the Snake", "The Flying Tortoise", "The North Wind and the Sun", "The Farmer and the Goldfish", "Mr. Dongguo and the Wolf", "Fish in Troubled Waters" "The Wolf and the Lamb Fleeing into the Temple" "The Fox and the Woodcutter" History: "The Iron Rod Grinded into a Needle" "The Cunning Rabbit Three Caves" "Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage" "The Old Horse Knows the Way" "The Queen Lü is in Power" "The Self-Recommendation" "The Burnt Cauldron" "The Lost Book" "Seeking the Buddha", "The Blind Man Touching the Elephant", "Sun Pang Fighting for Wisdom" Myths: "Kuafu Chasing the Sun", "Nuwa Mending the Sky", "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun", "Yan Di Shennong", "The Rise of the Yellow Emperor", "Chi You, the God of War and the Compass", "Nine Heaven Mysteries" ""The God of Drought", "Chang'e Stealing the Spiritual Pill", "Three Beats of the Bone Demon" 1. Be prepared for writing by understanding the meaning of fables and familiarizing yourself with fables. What is a fable? "Modern Chinese Dictionary" explains "fable" this way: literary works that use fictional stories or personification of natural objects to illustrate a certain truth or lesson, often with a satirical or admonishing nature. In fact, there are many idiom stories in our Chinese textbooks, such as: "Contradicting oneself", "Covering one's ears and stealing the bell", "Pulling a seedling to encourage growth", "Mending a lost sheep", etc. These popular idiom stories are very short, but the truth behind them is very profound. These are fables. . The protagonist of the fable can be a human, an animal, a plant, etc. Fables often use metaphors to reveal instructive themes or profound truths in stories with highly condensed plots. 2. How to write a fable well. First, there must be a simple and popular story. Wonderful stories are the beginning of the success of fables. Fables are short in length and their purpose is to make sense. The ultimate goal of reasoning is achieved by telling stories, and the quality of the storyline is related to the future of the fable. The famous story "The Farmer and the Snake" in the ancient Greek "Aesop's Fables" enjoys a high reputation around the world. His success lies in the fact that the story is very readable. No matter your level of education, you can understand the truth in the concise and clear story. The same is true for my country's famous fable "Self-Contradiction". The word "contradiction" in Chinese evolved directly from this fable. From this, we can see how important the charm of fables is. Without an interesting story, the truth has no place to rest. Students can use rich imagination, use metaphors, personification, exaggeration and other rhetorical techniques to make all things in nature active, let them come into your story, and tell a story rich in some kind of philosophy. But everything must conform to the laws of nature and cannot go against common sense. The story must be short, interesting, fresh and lively in order to attract readers and make them laugh. Secondly, a simple and clear truth is an essential part of the fable. What kind of truth it contains must not only be related to the author's main theme, but also be determined based on the development of the storyline. The moral of fables is the soul of fable creation, just as important as human beings must have thinking. In fable creation, the moral is an invisible thread, and most of the time, this thread is not directly reflected in the text. However, the meaning of a good fable will gradually become clear as the reader progresses. This is the charm of allegory as a literary genre. For example, the ancient work "Eastern Imitation of Imitation" is very representative. Its meaning is not directly reflected in the text, but most readers who have read it realize the effect of "Eastern Imitation of Imitation". When we children write fables, we can combine them with our own reality and tell some simple principles of life. For example: educate everyone to respect the elderly and love the young, love labor, and not tell lies, etc. You can also tell everyone some common sense of life through fables, teach everyone to abide by traffic laws, use water and electricity correctly, etc. It is difficult for children to write philosophically profound fables due to lack of life experience. But fables must have certain truth, practical significance or educational value. The four great fablers: Aesop, La Fontaine, Krylov, and Lessing
