Idiom Allusions 1 In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Chen Ya. Every time someone encounters any dispute, they will ask Chen Ya to come out to uphold justice, because everyone knows that Chen Ya is an honest and sincere person, and everyone likes him and listens to him! One year, there was a famine in Chen Ya's hometown, and many people could not find jobs. Some people go to other places to work, and some people become thieves because they have no work to do, stealing other people's things!

One night, a thief sneaked into Chen Ya's house to steal something after sleeping in Chen Ya. The thief didn't know that Chen Ya found him hiding on the roof beam, but Chen Ya pretended not to see him and sat quietly in the living room drinking tea. After a while, Chen Ya called the whole family to the living room and said to them, "You know, people have only lived for decades. If you don't grasp the time of hard work, it will be too late to try again when you are old. Therefore, we should form a good habit of hard work from an early age, and only when we grow up can we make good contributions to society, family and ourselves! Of course, there are also some people who don't work hard and just like to entertain themselves. These people are not bad in nature, but they will do some bad things that endanger society only if they don't develop good habits. Now you look up, the gentleman on our roof is a living example. 」

Hearing this, the thief climbed down from the beam and knelt in front of Chen Ya: "Master Chen, I'm sorry! I know I was wrong, please forgive me! Instead of scolding the thief, Chen Ya said to the thief very kindly, "I don't think you are a bad person, maybe you are forced by the hardships of life. I will give you some money now. Stop stealing. Work hard. As long as you can correct your mistakes, you will still be a useful person! The thief was moved and cried and said to Chen Ya, "Thank you, Master Chen! I will definitely work hard! Later, the thief really got rid of his bad habits and tried to become a good young man praised by everyone! Later, people turned Chen Ya's words into the idiom "fish begins to stink at the head" to describe a thief who steals from others.

Idiom story:

On one occasion, twelve countries, including Song and Qi, jointly attacked Zheng. Seeing that his country was short of troops, the monarch of the State of Zheng hurried to the State of Jin for mediation. The State of Jin readily agreed, so he quickly negotiated with the twelve countries and asked them to stop attacking the State of Zheng. The twelve countries were afraid of the powerful state of Jin, and though they were reluctant, they had to retreat.

In order to thank the State of Jin, the monarch of Zheng sent messengers to the State of Jin with many beautiful women, musical instruments and musicians. Jin Wengong was very happy to receive these gifts, and gave half of the beautiful women to the hero Jiang Wei. Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei not only refused, but also advised Jin Wengong not to be careless when the country was strong, but to forget that he was in danger. He should think of the difficulties and dangers that the country may encounter when enjoying himself, so as to be ready to deal with them at any time. Duke Xiang of Jin felt very reasonable and accepted his suggestion.

Idiom Allusions 3 After the death of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, his uncle Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, was very ambitious. He took advantage of the fact that Sima Zhong, the Emperor of Jinhui, had just acceded to the throne and the country was not stable enough to plan a conspiracy with his subordinates and usurp the throne. After Sima Lun became emperor, he even became an official at random, turning his relatives and friends, even servants and servants at home, into big officials or his near-servant officials. At that time, attendants used precious mink tails to make hats, but there were too many officials in Sima Lun to find so many mink tails, so they had to use similar dog tails instead.

Because too many officials in Sima Lun abuse their power, and these officials have neither real talent nor practical knowledge, and they don't work for the people. Knowing that they bullied the people and acted recklessly, the people felt very hateful, so they made up a proverb to satirize them: "The mink is not enough, and the dog's tail continues."

Idiom Allusions 4 Ji An was born in the era of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty and was respected for his honest and frank, justice and daring to tell the truth. He is informal, pragmatic and official. Although it is not so vigorous on the surface, it can manage a county in an orderly way. So, the court transferred him from Donghai County to the court as a Lord and captain-an office in charge of the appointment and removal of local officials.

On one occasion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that he would implement the Confucian policy of benevolence and righteousness and do good deeds for the people. Before the emperor had finished speaking, Ji An said, "Your Majesty is so greedy at heart, but on the surface he has to pretend to be kind. Why bother? " A word choked the emperor back. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cried, his face changed greatly, and he announced a blow to the DPRK. All the civil servants in the Qing Dynasty were supporting the staff for Ji An, fearing that he would cause great disaster. After Emperor Wu returned to the palace, he told people around him that Ji An was too thick and straight.

Since then, Ji An's official position has never been promoted. When he was Qi Huangong and a surname, Gong and Zhang Tang were humble officials. Later, they continued to rise, Gong became prime minister, Zhang Tang became an ancient bachelor, but He Ji 'an still stood still. One day, Ji An said to Emperor Wu that your majesty's use of ministers is like chopping wood, and it is "the latecomers come from the top"! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty certainly realized that this was an indictment. Then he turned to his deputies and said, "People really have to study! You listen to Ji An, more and more outrageous! "

This story comes from Biography of Historical Records and Zheng Ji. The idiom "coming from behind" often means that the latter can surpass the former. And Ji An said the original intention, very different.

Idiom allusions 5 After the Han Emperor Fu Wangmang usurped the Han regime, peasant uprisings broke out in various places, among which the Red Eyebrow Army and the outlaw heroes were the most powerful. In 23 AD, the peasant army fought a decisive battle with Wang Mang's 420,000 troops in Kunyang (now Yexian County, Henan Province). One of them, a general named Liu Xiu, was very active. This battle, follwed defeat, almost completely annihilated. Soon, the peasant army invaded the capital and killed Wang Mang. Liu Xuan of the royal family was honored as the son of heaven, while Liu Xiu was named Xiao Wang because of his great contribution.

Liu Xiu is a very shrewd man. He doesn't want Liu Xuan to be emperor. On the north bank of the Yellow River, Liu Xiu expanded his power while fighting the scattered peasant army in Liu Xuan. In AD 24, Liu Xiu defeated the Red Eyebrow Army in Weizhou and Puyang, and incorporated the surrendered troops. The commander of the surrendering army was Liehou, and other officers with troops also appointed official positions.

However, these surrendered officers and men were very uneasy and worried that they would be wiped out by Liu Xiu in the future. Seeing their heart disease, Liu Xiu took an unexpected measure: he ordered every general to return to the old headquarters and take charge of the original military forces; He only took a few followers to inspect the surrendered troops, and did not guard them to show his absolute trust in them. When these surrendered officers and men saw that Liu Xiu regarded them as one of their own, they immediately dispelled their doubts and said to each other, "Xiao Wang has taken out his heart and put it in someone else's stomach. What else can we worry about? " Shouldn't you go through fire and water for him? "Therefore, the officers and men are very obedient to Liu Xiu. The original words in "The Biography of Emperor Guangwu of the Later Han Dynasty" are: "Xiao Wang confided in his heart, so An did not report his death! "

According to this history, later generations summed up the phrase "confide in your heart" as the idiom "confide in your heart".

He traveled alone in Nanzhuang, Chang 'an, and arrived at a village where there were only flowers and trees, and there was no sound. Because of thirst, knock on the door for pulp. After a long time, a woman opened the door and gave her a glass of water. The woman leans on the peach blossom river in front of the court, with a lovely posture; Coagulation is relative and seems to have infinite affection.

Cui Hu picked it with words and shouldn't. Look at each other for a long time. Cui said goodbye and the woman was escorted to the door. The following year, during the Qingming Festival, Cui Hu recalled the incident and went to visit again, only to find that the door was still locked and empty.

In addition to melancholy, he also wrote a poem on the door: "Last year today, in this door, people face peach blossoms." People don't know where to go, but peach blossoms still laugh at the spring breeze! "

In the poems of later generations, "Peach Blossom" is often used to describe the melancholy mood that a man and a woman will never see again after meeting.

Idiom allusion 7 Xu Deyan, son of Chen in Southern Dynasties, married his sister Princess Lechang. Seeing that the world was in chaos and the country was doomed, they broke the bronze mirror in half, and the husband and wife each held half, and met in the mirror-selling city on the fifteenth day of the first month of the following year.

Soon, it was destroyed by Sui. Deyan fled to the capital and met a servant selling broken glasses in the street, which coincided with his hidden half. He wrote a poem: "the mirror goes with people, and the mirror returns to people." There is no shadow in the moon, and the moon is bright. "

When the princess saw this poem, she cried and didn't eat. Su Yang was very moved when she learned this, and finally reunited the couple. Later, people used reunion to describe the reunion of husband and wife after separation.
