The idiom story of the third-grade pupils about animals: "To be ill for the tiger"
Once upon a time, there lived a fierce tiger in a cave somewhere. One day, it felt very sad because there was no food to satisfy its hunger. So it went out of the cave and went to nearby Shan Ye to look for food. Just then, the tiger saw a man walking along the mountainside, and pounced on him, killing him and eating up his meat. But the tiger is not satisfied. It clings to that person's ghost and insists on finding another person to enjoy it. Otherwise, it won't set that person's ghost free. The ghost caught by the tiger actually agreed.
So he acted as a guide for the tiger, looked around and finally met the second man. At this time, the ghost actually helped the tiger commit crimes in order to get rid of himself as soon as possible. He first went over to confuse the new person he met, then untied the man's belt and took off his clothes to make it easier for the tiger to eat. This kind of ghost that helps tigers eat people is called a ghost. According to this legend, later generations call it "ill-fated" to help the bad guys do things that endanger the world.

The story of animal idioms in the third grade of primary school Part III: Waiting for rabbits
Han Feizi, a thinker in the Warring States period, expounded that it is timely for kings to govern the people and establish appropriate policies and facilities. Don't blindly follow the ancient laws and think that the policies of ancient saints are good, regardless of whether these policies are suitable for the current society. He cited an example to illustrate this truth: one day, a farmer in the state of Song was farming when he saw a rabbit running over. The rabbit was probably so scared that he didn't pay attention to the front, so he bumped into a tree and broke his neck. The farmer got the rabbit for nothing. He thought that if rabbits could be obtained in this way in the future, there would be no need to work hard. So he threw away his farm tools and waited for the rabbit to come to the door under the tree every day. As a result, he never got any rabbits again, but made himself the laughing stock of the whole Song Dynasty.
Therefore, it is in vain to govern the country with the old method, such as a rabbit watcher. Later, this story was condensed into "waiting for the rabbit", which was used to describe the rut, and also to describe wanting to get something for nothing, or waiting for the target to deliver itself.

" The tortoise climbed to the side of the dry well. The frog immediately opened the chatterbox: "You are very lucky today. I'll let you open your eyes and visit my room. ".This is a paradise. You have probably never seen such a spacious residence, have you? "The tortoise probe looked into the well and saw a pool of muddy water covered with green moss in a shallow place at the bottom of the well, and smelled a pungent smell. The turtle frowned and quickly retracted his head.
The frog didn't pay attention to the turtle's expression at all, and continued to brag with a big belly: "I live here very comfortably!" " At night, you can jump on the mine field to enjoy the cool; You can sleep in the hole in the wall at night; Soak in the water, let the water soak your armpits, hold your cheeks, and you can swim; Jump into the mud, cover the instep with mud, bury four feet and roll.

The sea is so big that neither the length of time nor the changes of drought and flood can make its water volume change obviously. Brother Frog, I live in the sea. You see, which world is more open and which world is more fun than your dry well shallow water? " The frog listened stupidly, his eyes wide open and his mouth closed for a long time.
The story of animal idioms in the third grade of primary school Part VI: Make the finishing point
During the Liang Dynasty in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a famous painter named Zhang Sengyou, whose painting skills were superb. At that time, Emperor Liang Wudi believed in Buddhism and built many temples, so he was asked to paint. Legend has it that one year, Liang Wudi asked Zhang Sengyou to draw anrakuji in Jinling and painted four golden dragons on the wall of the temple. He promised to finish it in only three days. These dragons are lifelike, as lifelike as real dragons.
After Zhang Sengyou finished painting, many people went to see it and praised it for its good painting and lifelike. However, when people take a closer look, they will find that all four dragons have no eyes. Everyone begged him to put the dragon's eyes on it Zhang Sengyou explained: "It is not difficult to give dragons eyeballs, but with eyeballs, these dragons will break the wall and fly away."
Hearing this, everyone didn't believe him and thought his explanation was ridiculous. How can the dragon on the wall fly away? After a long time, many people thought he was lying.
Zhang Sengyou was forced to "make the finishing point" for the dragon, but in order to leave two white dragons in the temple, he was only willing to make the finishing point for the other two white dragons. On this day, many people watched in front of the temple wall. In front of everyone, Zhang Monk raised his brush and gently lit the eyes of two dragons. Strange things did happen. He clicked on the eyes of the second dragon. After a while, the sky was overcast, the wind was blowing, and there was lightning and thunder. In the thunder and lightning, people saw two "finishing touches" dragons, breaking through the wall, soaring, bared their teeth and flying into the sky.
After a while, the dark clouds cleared and people were too scared to say a word. Look at the wall again, only two dragons have not been found, and the other two dragons that have been "discovered" have disappeared.
Later, people derived the idiom "make the finishing point" from this legend, which is a metaphor for a speech or an article. Point out the main idea with one or two key and incisive sentences in the main points to make the content more vivid and powerful. But in the information age of knowledge reform and opening-up, we can think that this is an innovation, because Zhang Sengyou gave the dragon a look and made a qualitative leap.
