Origin of idioms
Master Zhuangzi: "My master is Wen Jie Niu. Touch him with your hands, lean against him with your shoulders, step on him with your feet, touch him with your knees, and play with your knife loudly, all of which are alto. The dance in the mulberry forest is the first classic encounter. Wen said to him,' Hey! Very good! Is this the end of technology? My master came out with a knife and said to me,' I am good at Taoism and I am better at it. When the first minister solved the problem, he saw nothing but cows. Three years later, he never saw the whole cow again. At this time, I met God with my eyes, not with my eyes, but with my mind's desire to do things. According to heaven, I criticized and guided the big ones, because of course my skills and skills are not bad, but my bones (car melon, gu, thigh bone) are even worse! A good man is a better cutter; There are many knives and many folds in the family month. Today's minister sword is nineteen years, but the blade is newly developed. There is a gap in that section, but the blade is not thick: if it is not thick, it will be repaired and there is room for it to swim, so it is nineteen years. But if the blade is newly developed, " .。 . . . . Wen Huijun said: "I have heard my words, so how can I stay healthy?" ' '

My experts are Wen Jie (1), hand touching (2), shoulder leaning, foot walking (3), knee squatting (5), sudden (6) and sudden (7). The dance combined with Sanglin (8) is the meeting of Jing Shou (9). Wen said, "Hey (10), OK! Is the technical cover (1 1) so far? " My master released his knife and said to him, "I am good at it (12), and I am good at it (13). When the first minister solved the cow, he saw nothing but the cow. I haven't seen all the cows for three years. At this moment, I met God (14) instead of looking at him, and I was in Zhi Zhi's heart (15). According to Heaven (16), we approved Daying (17) to guide Dayong (18). Because of its nature (19), its skills have never been tested (20), but the situation is excellent. When he was young, he changed knives (22). Clan (23) changed sword fold (24). Today, I killed thousands of cows with my sword for nineteen years, but if the blade is new (25), it will be difficult. The other section has a notch (26), but the blade is not thick; Without thickness, there is room for recovery. (27) There must be room in the blade, so it is 19 years, and the blade is new. Although, as for the race (28), I think it is very difficult, and it is too late to learn from it. With a small knife, cycle (30) has been solved (26), such as Earth (3 1). Stand with a knife, look around, be full of ambition (32), be good (33) and hide. " Wen Huijun said, "Yes, I listened to my words and got healthy."

There is a chef named Ding who specializes in slaughtering cattle. Where the hand touches, the shoulder rests, the foot steps, the knee rests, the skin and bone separate, and when entering the knife, it makes a sound (pronounced' Huo'). All these sounds are not out of tune. It is consistent with the dance music of Sang Lin and the music rhythm of Jingshou (Yao Shi). Wen said to him, "Hey! All right! How can your technology be so clever? " The chef put down the knife and replied, "I like the laws of nature, which has surpassed the pursuit of cattle slaughtering technology." When I first started to slaughter cattle (I don't know the structure of cattle), there was nothing that was not all cattle (most people saw it). After three years, I will never see the whole cow again. Now, when the liegeman slaughters the cow, he only touches the cow with his spirit, without looking at it with his eyes, just as his vision has stopped and his spirit is moving. Along the grain structure of cattle, splitting the big gap between bones and muscles, and making knives along the holes between joints are all along the original structure of cattle. The knife for slaughtering cattle has never touched the place where the meridians are connected, or where the muscles attached to the bones gather, let alone the big bones of the thighs. Skilled chefs change a knife every year because they use it to cut meat. Ordinary chefs change a knife once a month because it is used to cut bones. Now the servant's knife has been used for 19 years, killing thousands of cows, but the blade looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. There are cracks in the joints of cattle, but the blade is not thick. If such a thin blade is used to pierce a joint with a gap, there must be enough space to operate the blade. Therefore, after using 19 years, the blade still looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. Even so, whenever I meet a place where bones and muscles are intertwined, I will be very alert and cautious when I see that it is difficult to get a knife, my eyes are focused and my movements are slow. The knife moved gently, and the flesh and blood separated with a crash, like a pile of mud scattered on the ground. I stood there with my knife in my hand, looking around proudly for this success, carefree and satisfied for this success. Wipe the knife clean and put it away. "The beam said," good! I listened to your words and learned the way of keeping in good health. "
All the trees and grasses are soldiers.
The story comes from Jin Shu's Fu Jian Zhai Ji.
Allusions to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the former Qin Dynasty always wanted to annex the State of Jin, and Fu Jian, the king of Qin, personally led 900,000 troops to attack the State of Jin. General Xie of the State of Jin led 80,000 soldiers and horses to battle. Fu Jian is, of course, arrogant, didn't see the disparity of gold strength. However, who expected that the vanguard of the vanguard troops was defeated in the first battle with 8 Jin J, Fu Jian panicked. He and his younger brother Fu Rong went to the front to inspect in the evening. He saw that Jin Jun's lineup was neat and his morale was high. Even the vegetation on Bagong Mountain, where 8 Jin J is stationed, is like a mountain full of soldiers! Then, in the decisive battle at Feishui (now Wabu Lake area in Anhui, China), Qin Jun was completely defeated and suffered heavy losses. Fu Jian, the king of Qin, was injured and his younger brother was killed. Fu Jian fled in a hurry. When he heard the wind and birds singing, he thought it was the enemy's pursuer again. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian, king of Qin, took control of northern China. In 383 AD, Fu Jian led 900,000 infantry and cavalry to attack the rulers in the south of the Yangtze River. Jin generals Xie Shi and Xie Xuan led eighty thousand troops to resist. Fu Jian learned that 8 jin j strength is insufficient, just want to seize the opportunity, quick attack. Unexpectedly, 250,000 vanguard troops in Fu Jian were unexpectedly defeated by 8 Jin Army in Shouchun, and suffered heavy losses. The general was killed and more than ten thousand soldiers were killed or injured. Qin Jun's spirit fell sharply, his morale was shaken, and the soldiers fled in panic. At this point, Fu Jian saw the 8 jin j in Shouchun city, and his fighting spirit was high. Then he looked at Bagong Mountain in the north, and saw that every grass and tree on the mountain looked like nomads from the army. Fu Jian turned to his younger brother and said, "What a powerful enemy this is! How can we say that the 8 Jin Army is insufficient? " He regretted underestimating his enemy. The bad start cast an ominous shadow on Fu Jian's mind, and he made his troops deploy on the north bank of Feishui in an attempt to turn the tide by virtue of geographical advantages. At this time, Xie Xuan, the general of the Jin army, told Qin Jun to step back a little and make way for a river. Fu Jian did Sarah laugh. The general of the Jin army didn't know the common sense of fighting. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Jin army was busy crossing the river and it was difficult to fight, so he gave it a surprise attack, so he readily accepted the request of the Jin army. Who knows, when the military order to retreat came out, it fled like a flood, while the Jin army tried to cross the river in pursuit, abandoned its helmet and abandoned its armor, and the bodies were everywhere. Fu Jian fled with an arrow. This is the famous battle in history-the Battle of Feishui.
Treat all the vegetation on the mountain as enemy soldiers. When people panic, they are suspicious. "Fear of the wind, fear of the grass, fear of the soldiers" is an idiom, which can use eight words, only the last four words. It describes that when people are very scared, they think those grasses are soldiers, they are very nervous and afraid, and they often describe the fear of losers. Pay attention to the word "Li" in idioms, which is different from the word "tears" in tears. The pronunciation of Cantonese is the same. The word "tears" in Mandarin is not pronounced, but pronounced as "Li". This word can be interpreted as the sound of birds singing. Of course, "Heming" originally refers to Heming, but generally refers to birdsong.

Pre-Qin Zuo Qiuming's Twenty-nine Years of Zuo Zhuan Xiang Gong: "Virtue is great! If there is nothing in the sky, there is nothing on the earth. Although it is very virtuous, its contempt is added to this, and the point of view has passed. If he is happy, I dare not invite myself. "
Allusions In 544 BC, Wu's son came to see Lu and expressed his willingness to form an alliance with Lu, who entertained him with dance music. Ji Zha is proficient in dance music while watching and tasting it. When performing Shao Jian dance, I decided that this was the last program and said that this was enough. Lu was surprised that he could predict the last program. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Ji Zha of the State of Wu watched all kinds of music and dances in Lu, and when he saw Shun's music and dances, he appreciated them very much. He lamented that he had seen enough here ("watching") and didn't need to see anything else. This is why the idiom "stop sighing" came from this, and later it refers to praising what you see to the extreme. Now it is generally said to be "amazing". (sigh, sigh; Yes, yes; View, watch; Stop: sigh that you can stop watching. )
Translation exclamation: admiration; Stop: stop; Observation: stop when you see this, don't look at anything else, praise the perfection you see. It means to praise what you see to the extreme. Some also said, "I'm done."

In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang's "Warring States Policy Chu Ce I": "A tiger seeks all kinds of animals and eats them, and it gets its fox. The fox said,' I dare not eat me! It's against God's will to let me grow all kinds of animals to eat me now. I don't believe you. I am your son first, and then you are your son. Do you dare not leave after seeing all the animals see me? "The tiger thought so, so he followed, and all the animals saw it. The tiger walked away and didn't know that he was afraid of himself, thinking that he was afraid of the fox. " All cunning and treacherous people always like to brag, tell lies and live by cheating. Although such people can be brave for a while by external forces, they are the weakest and most fragile in nature. At the same time, it also shows that we should use our brains to do everything, and we should not blindly believe and follow, otherwise we will make a joke.
King Xuan Jing asked his minister, "I heard that the fear in the north is sympathetic. What is the truth? " Ministers are right. A couple of ginger said, "A tiger can get a fox, ask for all kinds of animals and eat them. The fox said,' I dare not eat me! It's against God's will to let me grow all kinds of animals to eat me now. I don't believe you. I am your son first, and then you are your son. Do you dare not leave after seeing all the animals see me? The tiger thought so, so he followed it. The beast saw it and left. Tigers don't know that wild animals are afraid of themselves, but they think they are afraid of foxes. Today, the king's land is five thousand miles, with a million dollars, and Zhao Xi's shirt is exclusive; So the fear in the north is also worthy of sympathy. In fact, it is also afraid of Wang's soldiers and tigers. "
meaning
It means that the fox borrowed the power of the tiger. Now people use it to mean to bully others by relying on others' strength. It also satirizes those who use other people's power to cheat. A person who uses the influence of others or the power of his position to bully others is Smith.
