2. Zhang Guaiya worked as a local official in Chongyang. A small official came out of the warehouse. Zhang Guaiya saw a dollar hidden under his sideburns and asked him where the money came from. He said he took it from the warehouse. Zhang Guaiyan ordered a stick to wait on him. The little official was very angry and said, "It's only a penny, so you have to hit me with a stick. You can play as you like, but you can't kill me! "
Zhang Guaiya began to write down the sentence: "One penny a day, a thousand days; Keep sawing wood with a rope, and the wood will eventually break; Small drops of water keep falling on the stone, and the stone will eventually wear out. " Say that finish, holding a sword, walked down the steps, beheaded its head, and reported the matter to the Taiwan Province municipal government. This story is still circulating in Chongyang.
3. During the Warring States Period, there were seven great powers, namely Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin, which were called "Seven Heroes of the Warring States" in history. Of these seven countries, Qin is the most powerful. Qin often bullies Zhao On one occasion, the Prince of Zhao sent Lin Xiangru, the servant of the minister, to the State of Qin to negotiate. When Lin Xiangru met the King of Qin, with his wit and courage, he won a lot of face for Zhao. The king of Qin saw that Zhao had such talents and dared not look down upon Zhao again. The prince of Zhao sees that Lin Xiangru is so capable. First named "doctor", then named Shang Qing (equivalent to the later prime minister).
The prince of Zhao valued Lin Xiangru very much and was furious with General Zhao Lian Po. He thought: I worked hard for Zhao and earned as much money as Lin Xiangru, didn't I? Lin Xiangru with his mouth open, what's the great skill, status is higher than me! The more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became. He said angrily, "If I run into Lin Xiangru, I'll embarrass him face to face and see what he can do to me!"
Lian Po's words reached Lin Xiangru's ears. Lin Xiangru immediately ordered his men to meet Lian Po's men in the future, so they must make way and not quarrel with them. Later, he went out by car. As soon as I hear that Lian Po is ahead, let the coachman drive into the alley and wait for Lian Po to pass.
People in Lian Po were even more carried away when they saw Shangqing let his master go like this. When they saw Lin Xiangru's people, they laughed at them. Lin Xiangru's men couldn't stand this anger, so they said to Lin Xiangru, "Your position is higher than that of General Lian. When he scolds you, you avoid him and let him go, and he will no longer take you seriously! We can't stand it like this. "
Lin Xiangru asked them calmly: "Compared with the king of Qin, who is better?" Everyone said, "Of course, the king of Qin is awesome." Lin Xiangru said, "Yes! I'm not afraid of the king of Qin, so am I afraid of even the general? You know, the state of Qin now dares not fight Zhao, because the domestic civil servants and military commanders are United. We are like two tigers. If two tigers fight, one of them will be injured or even killed, which gives a good opportunity to attack Zhao. Think about it, what matters is the country or the personal face? "
Lin Xiangru's men were very moved. When they saw Lian Po's men, they were very cautious and always let them go.
Lin Xiangru's remarks later reached the ears of Lian Po. Lian Po was extremely ashamed. He took off his sleeves, bared his shoulders, carried a thorn, and went straight to Lin Xiangru's house. Lin Xiangru hurriedly came out to meet Lian Po. Lian Po knelt down to Lin Xiangru, holding Vitex negundo in his hands, and asked Lin Xiangru to whip himself. Lin Xiangru threw Vitex negundo on the ground, hurriedly lifted Lian Po up with both hands, dressed him, and held his hand to let him sit down.
Lin Xiangru and Lian Po became good friends from then on. These two men are skilled in writing, fighting for their country, and Qin is even more afraid to bully Zhao. "offer a humble apology" has become an idiom, meaning to apologize to others and admit one's mistakes.
When Zhao returned to the Warring States, Zhao Wang got a precious treasure "He". After knowing this, the king of Qin wrote a letter and sent someone to see the king of Zhao, saying that the king of Qin was willing to exchange fifteen cities for this treasure jade.
The prince of Zhao read the letter and thought that the king of Qin always wanted to take advantage and refused to suffer. Why are you so generous this time? If you don't agree, you are afraid of Qin's attack. If you agree, you are afraid of being cheated. He couldn't make up his mind, so he consulted with the ministers. Ministers can't think of any good way.
Knowing this, Lin Xiangru said to the prince of Zhao, "Your Majesty, let me take' He Shibi' to the king of Qin, and I will play it by ear when I get there. If the king of Qin refuses to exchange fifteen cities, I will definitely bring back' Heshibi' intact. " Knowing that Lin Xiangru was a brave and witty man, the prince of Zhao agreed to go.
When Lin Xiangru arrived in Qin, the king of Qin greeted him in the palace. Lin Xiangru dedicated his "Harmony" to the King of Qin. The king of Qin took it and looked left and right. He likes it very much. After reading it, he handed it to the ministers one by one and then to the concubines in the harem.
Lin Xiangru stood there alone, waiting for a long time, but he didn't see the king of Qin ceding fifteen cities, knowing that the king of Qin didn't have the sincerity to exchange these cities for Baoyu. But Baoyu has been in the hands of the king of Qin. How can I get it back? He thought about it and came up with a way. He went up to the king of Qin and said, "Although this piece of' Heshibi' looks good, it has some problems. Let me show it to the king. " When the king of Qin heard something was wrong, he hurriedly asked someone to take Baoyu from the harem to Lin Xiangru.
Lin Xiangru took a few steps back with the "Harmony Jade", leaned against the pillar and said angrily to the king of Qin: "At the beginning, this king sent a letter to the king of Zhao, saying that he was willing to exchange fifteen cities for Zhao's" Harmony Jade ". Minister Zhao said, don't believe Qin's lies. I don't think so. I said that the people still speak faith, not to mention the king of Qin! The prince of Zhao took my advice, and this just sent me to send' and choi'. Just now, the King took Baoyu and gave him to the people below to walk around, but he didn't mention the change of the fifteen cities. From this point of view, the king did not really have the sincerity to exchange the city for the wall. Now I have Baoyu. If the king insists on persecuting me, I would rather hit my head on this pillar with this treasure jade! " Lin Xiangru said, and lifted the "and choi", to the post, and fell over.
The king of Qin wanted the samurai to rob him, but he was afraid that Lin Xiangru really broke Baoyu. He quickly apologized to Lin Xiangru and said, "Don't worry, doctor, my words don't count!" He asked someone to bring the map, pretending to point to it and saying, "From here to there, fifteen cities will be given to Zhao." Lin Xiangru thought, the king of Qin often plays tricks, don't be fooled by him again! He said to the king of Qin: "This piece of' Heshibi' is a world-famous treasure. When he was sent to the State of Qin, the Prince of Zhao fasted for five days and held a grand ceremony in the imperial court to send Baoyu away. Now that the king wants to take this treasure jade, he should fast for five days and hold a ceremony in the court to take it before I can present it. " The king of Qin said, "Good! Just do it! " He sent someone to take Lin Xiangru to the hotel to rest.
Lin Xiangru took Baoyu's piece and went to the mansion. He asked one of his men to dress up as a businessman, wrapped Baoyu in his body and sneaked back to Zhao through the alley. As for what the king of Qin would do to him, he didn't even consider it.
Later, the king of Qin found out about it, and it was too late to regret it. He wanted to send troops to attack Zhao, and Zhao was afraid that he could not win, so he was ready militarily. Finally, the king of Qin had to let Lin Xiangru return to Zhao. This matter is known as "returning to Zhao in perfect condition". Today, people tell this story and give a thumbs-up to Lin Xiangru's heroic behavior.
5. Cao Zhi is the son of Cao Cao and the younger brother of Cao Pi. Cao Zhi has great wit. Cao Pi acceded to the throne and avoided Cao Zhi's talent, so he found an opportunity to ask Cao Zhi to write a poem within seven steps, so that he would be killed if he failed. Cao Zhi responded by writing this poem to satirize Cao Pi, saying-when cooking beans, tofu is burned under the kettle, and beans cry in the kettle. Tofu and beans are both born from the same bean root, so why stir-fry tofu?
Cao Zhi means: Brothers, like beans and glutinous rice, are always born to the same mother. Why don't you love your brother as a brother? Why do you want to fire me so badly? These four sentences are famous for praising brotherhood. Every time, it is used by later generations to ridicule those who don't know how to love their brothers. "Being born from the same root" is often used to describe the feelings of brothers and sisters.
Liu Yiqing's seven-step poem in Shi Shuo Xin Yu has six lines: "Boil beans for soup, ferment beans for juice. Glutinous rice is burned in the kettle, and beans weep in the kettle; This is the same root, why do you want to speculate with each other! " The four names recorded here are condensed from six sentences recorded in Shi Shuo Xin Yu, which can be found in Chapter 79 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, these four sentences were written in response, not in seven steps, but on the topic of "brothers".
6. Xiang Yu's army camped in Gaixia, and Serenade was short of food. Liu Bang's Han army and the armies of Han Xin and Peng Yue were surrounded by layers. In the evening, Xiang Yu heard that Chu songs were being sung around the Han army, and he was shocked and said, "Did the Han army occupy Chu?" Otherwise, how could there be so many Chu people in the Han army? "Xiang Yu got up overnight and went to Zhongchanzhang to drink. Looking back on the past, there was a beautiful concubine who was loved and often accompanied, and a BMW who often rode on her lap. Now ... so Xiang Yu generously lamented and wrote his own poem: "I can pull out mountains with strength, and my heroism can overwhelm me. The weather is unfavorable. "What if the horse doesn't run, concubine, concubine, what should you do!" Yu Ji sang with him over and over again. Xiang Yu shed several lines of tears and the guards around him also cried. No one can look up at Xiang Yu.
