The idiom "five bushels of rice don't bend over" is a metaphor for being spineless and arrogant. This idiom comes from Biography of Tao Qian in the Book of Jin. Five buckets of rice can't bend over, and boxing is evil for the small people in the village. In order to support his family, he came to Pengze, not far from his hometown, to be the county magistrate. This winter, the county magistrate sent a tour to pengze county to bid. Du You, with low taste but some power, speaks with his mouth in front of the satrap. Du You, who was sent here this time, is a vulgar and arrogant person. As soon as he arrived at Penzer's guest house, he sent a county magistrate to call a county magistrate to see him. Tao Yuanming usually despises fame and fortune, refuses to obey orders, despises such a person who gives orders in the name of a higher level, but he wants to see it again, so he set off at once. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate stopped Tao Yuanming and said, "My Lord, Du, you should wear official clothes and a big belt, otherwise it will be indecent. Du, you take the opportunity to make a scene, which is not good for adults! " Therefore, Tao Yuanming couldn't stand it any longer. Sighed and said, "I can't bend over to the villains in the village for five buckets of rice!" " "He said, and simply took out the official seal, stamped it, immediately wrote his resignation letter, and then left Peng Ze, who had only been the county magistrate for more than 80 days.

Second, Yan Zili made Chu.

Yanzi came to Chu, and the king of Chu invited Yanzi to drink. While he was drinking happily, he asked two people to tie a person to the king of Chu. The king of Chu asked, "What do people who are tied up do? (Tolerance) Answer: "(He) is a Qi person and committed theft. The king of Chu looked at Yan Zi and asked, "Are Qi people good at stealing?" ? Yan Zi left her seat and replied, "I heard that citrus grows in the south of Huaihe River, and bitter citrus reticulata grows in the north of Huaihe River, but the leaves are similar, but the fruits taste different. Why is this happening? The soil and water conditions are different. This man grew up in the state of Qi and didn't steal anything. As soon as he arrived in Chu, he stole things. Does the soil and water of Chu make him like stealing? " The king of Chu smiled and said, "A saint can't joke with him. I'm asking for bad luck. "

Third, Yan Zi resigned as her daughter.

Yan Zi was eating when Qi Jinggong sent a special envoy. (Yan Zi) Divided the food and gave it to the envoys. As a result, the envoys did not have enough to eat, and Yan Zi did not have enough to eat. When the envoy came back, he told Qi Jinggong (about Yan Zi's poverty). Qi Jinggong exclaimed, "alas! Yan Zi's family is really as poor as (you said)! I don't understand, it's my fault. " Send someone on a business trip to send his daughter and tax, and let him support his guests with his daughter and city rent. Yan Zi didn't accept it. After many farewells, he politely declined to say, "My family is not poor. Thank you for your reward. Kindness has spread to my father's family, my mother's family and my wife's family, and extended to my friends to help the people. Your salary is rich enough, and my family is not poor. I've heard people say that they take rich rewards from the monarch and give them to the people. This is that courtiers, not monarchs, rule the people, and loyal courtiers don't do this; Taking a generous reward from the monarch but not giving it to the people is to put the property in a basket for your own use, which is not what benevolent people do; In North Korea, you will get rich rewards from the monarch. In the outward direction, we should not offend the scholars because of the reward from the monarch. After death, the property will be transferred to others. This is to accumulate property for ministers. Smart people don't do that. With clothes to wear and food to eat, you can avoid (all) troubles (as long as you are satisfied). "

Qi Jinggong said to Yan Zi, "In the past, our former monarch, Huan Gong, gave Guanzhong a land population of 500 miles, and he accepted it without refusing it. Why did you refuse to accept it? " Yan Zi replied: "I heard that smart people think too much and will inevitably make mistakes." Stupid people, after careful consideration, have their merits. I think it's Guan Zhong's fault and mine, right? So thanks again for not answering. "

Fourth, the study of China.

After graduating from middle school in China, he was forced to drop out of school because he could not afford the tuition. Back to my hometown, while helping my father to work, I continued to study and teach myself tenaciously. Soon, he was infected with typhoid fever and his life was dying. He stayed in bed for half a year, but after his illness, he left a lifelong disability-deformity of the left leg joint and limping. He was only 19 years old at that time. In that confused, confused and almost desperate day, he thought of Sun Bin behind Sun Tzu's Art of War. "The ancients can still be physically and mentally disabled. I'm only 19 years old, so there's no reason to give up. I want to replace my imperfect legs with a sound mind! " Young Hua is so tenacious in fighting against fate. During the day, he dragged his sick leg, endured severe joint pain and worked with crutches. In the evening, he taught himself late into the night under the oil lamp. 1930, his paper was published in Science magazine, which alarmed Professor Xiong Qinglai, head of the Department of Mathematics of Tsinghua University. Later, Tsinghua University hired Huawei as a teaching assistant. On the campus of Tsinghua University, where famous artists gather, Hua served as a teaching assistant in the Mathematics Department. He also taught himself English, German and French in four years and published ten papers. By the time he was 25 years old, he was already an internationally renowned young scholar.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Xu Beihong's rhetoric

At the beginning of the 20th century, when Xu Beihong was studying in Europe, he met a foreigner who picked things up. The foreigner said, "China people are ignorant and have become the material of the conquered since they were born. Even if you send it to heaven for further study, you can't become a talent! " Xu Beihong replied indignantly: "Well, I represent my motherland and you represent your country. When you graduate from school, you will know who is a talent and who is a fool! " A year later, Xu Beihong's oil paintings were well received by French artists. After that, he won the first prize in many competitions. His solo exhibition caused a sensation in the whole Paris art world. Such amazing achievements are far beyond the reach of that foreigner.
