Idiom story:
The king of Wu wanted to crusade against Chu and said to the ministers around him, "I will kill everyone who dares to persuade me not to send troops!" " "There was a servant of the prince of Wu who wanted to remonstrate with him, but he dared not. He was wandering around the backyard with a projectile and a slingshot in his hand, and the clothes were wet with dew for several days. The king of Wu said, "Why did you get your clothes so wet? "
The young man replied, "there is a tree in the garden, and there is a cicada on the tree." Cicada crows loudly on high places and sucks dew, but she doesn't know there is mantis behind her. " Mantis bent down and grasped his forelimbs tightly to catch cicadas, but he didn't know the yellowbird was beside him. The yellowbird craned its neck to peck at the mantis, but didn't know that the slingshot and projectile were under him. All three must want immediate benefits, but they don't consider the hidden dangers behind them. "The prince said," Good! " So the king of Wu stopped the war.
Mantis catches cicadas and yellowbirds. One afternoon, Yu Chenxi and I were reading on the platform. Suddenly Luo Yutai came to the stage and complained angrily, "Yang Dixing played a trick on me!" " After a while, Yang Dixing rushed over and said, "No, Luo Yutai played a trick on me!" " "I saw the two of them arguing. I immediately shouted, "both of you go back to your seats." "
They had to obediently return to their seats, because they knew that all disobedient people would be blacklisted, and the next class was music class, and no one wanted to be left behind! Later, Mr. Wang sneaked into the teacher, and no one noticed. Thinking that Mr. Yang hadn't come yet, Yang Dixing proudly walked behind Luo Yutai's seat and deliberately played a trick on him. Teacher Wang quietly walked behind Yang Dixing, who didn't notice at all and continued to play tricks on Luo Yutai. I saw it as soon as my eyes lit up and was about to criticize him. I immediately saw Mr. Wang, and I had a brainwave and stopped the roll call. My action turned the eyes of the whole class to Yang Dixing, and then he found Mr. Wang standing behind him smiling. However, it was too late, and Mr. Wang stopped him ...
At this time, Luo Yutai laughed: "It's really a mantis catching cicadas, and the yellowbird is behind!"
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a small country called Yue State. The smaller the country. Although small, it is remote, with fertile soil, surrounded by mountains and buried with many treasures. Many neighboring countries have long coveted Yue, but Yue is surrounded by mountains, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once a war breaks out, it will definitely lose a lot of troops. Therefore, many countries dare not send troops to attack Yue easily.
Zhao Yu, the monarch of the State of Zhao, is a miser. He gave up everything. Because Yue is a good "prey", I have long wanted to attack Yue, but Yue is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it is difficult to win. Therefore, Zhao Yu racked his brains to think of many ways, but it was always impossible. He couldn't sleep all night, but he couldn't think of any good way. Zhao Kuangyin has a minister named Wang Fei, who is actually a spy sent by the State of Qin. He made a plan for Zhao Yu: first make friends with Yue, then pretend to invite the monarch of Yue to hunt in Zhao, and then take the opportunity to attack Yue. Zhao Yu nodded and listened to Wang Fei's plan to attack Yue, but the ministers around him disagreed with this method. They think that Yue is not an opponent now. The most important thing now is to defeat other countries and then plan to attack Yue. However, Zhao Yu had long been puzzled by Yue's treasure, so he decided to attack Yue.
In 52 1 year BC, Zhao and Yue became friends. Zhao pretended to invite Yue Ji Wang Shou to go hunting in Zhao, and readily agreed. When Zhao Yu and Ji Shou went hunting together, they took many soldiers with them. Ji Shou showed no weakness, and he also brought many soldiers. Just as we were having a good time, the battle report came from the state of Yue: the state of Yue was breached by Zhao! Ji Shouwan did not expect that all this was a trap carefully designed by Zhao Yu in advance! When Ji Shou found out, it was too late. He was surrounded. Ji Shou regretted believing the villain Zhao Yu. He drew his sword and committed suicide at the age of 43.
After Yu Zhao got to Yue Guo, he held a grand banquet to celebrate Yue Guo. When he was drunk with his ministers, Qin attacked Zhao! However, Zhao Yu was unprepared and lost his way. Although he was desperately rescued by soldiers, Zhao was captured by Qin.
After Qin's victory, the soldiers were preparing to celebrate, but Qin Mugong wrote an idiom "The mantis catches cicada, and the yellowbird comes last". The soldiers don't understand what you mainly do. Qin Mugong explained, "A mantis is treating a cicada as a delicacy, but it didn't expect a yellowbird to try to treat it as its prey." This truth tells us that when we make some achievements, we can't be proud. In this case, we will learn a lesson.
The story of mantis catching cicada yellowbird in the last four is from volume nine of Shuowen.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, every vassal state wanted to expand its territory and enhance its strength, so wars often occurred. War costs people and money, and it often hurts both sides. Some ministers with a clear head have a calm attitude towards the war of aggression, or bluntly admonish each other, or subtly obscure them, so as to stop the extremely harmful war.
On one occasion, King Hao prepared to attack Chu. He thought that this plan would be opposed by many ministers, so he solemnly said to the ministers in the court: "If anyone has a problem with my attack on Chu, I will let him die!" All the ministers know the prince's temper, and he keeps his promise. Although many ministers knew that attacking Chu was very unfavorable to Wu, they all kept silent and thought that admonition would not be fatal.
Hao Wang is actively preparing for the war, and the ministers are in a hurry. Shaoruzi, the servant of the king of Wu, was very worried when he saw this situation. I want to go forward and directly persuade the prince of Wu not to attack Chu, but I'm afraid I can't persuade him. It's almost time to cut Chu. Little boy, adjust his eyebrows all day and think deeply. Sure enough, he used his quick wits.
One morning, the king of Wu found that his courtier Shaoruzi was soaked to the skin. He was very surprised and asked him, "What did you do this morning? Why is the whole factory wet? " "I got up early and walked around the back garden with a slingshot, trying to shoot a bird or something," replied the young Confucian. Walking, I found something in the factory that I can't forget. "PG One interjected:" What makes you unforgettable? Tell me about it. The young Confucian scholar went on to say, "I saw a cicada singing in a tree and drinking dew." "But how did cicada know? At this moment, a frog crept up below and stared at it closely, treating it as a delicious meal! Look at the frog carefully, bend down and stretch your claws, and get closer to the cicada step by step. However, how do locusts know? Just then, a yellowbird hid on a branch not far from it, staring at the frog intensely, ready to flap its wings and peck the frog bent on climbing forward! Where is the yellowbird, stretching its neck, thinking that the frog must not run away, have a good meal. But the yellowbird never imagined that someone aimed at it with a slingshot at this moment, and its life was coming to an end! Alas, these three little things only look forward and don't consider the future. Their situation is really too dangerous! Your majesty, you see, how wonderful this is and how unforgettable this scene is! I stood for a long time and let the dew wet my clothes. "
Hearing this, the prince of Wu meditated. Hearing these words, he suddenly realized and became alert. At this time, he also understood the pains of the factory. The king of Wu laughed and pointed at the little boy with one hand and said, "You smart card, you little prick, you told me to live. Let's stop attacking Chu. " When the minister of Manchu rushed to tell everyone, the king of Wu officially announced in the court: "Give up the plan of cutting Chu."
The idiom "mantis catches cicada, yellowbird comes last" is summed up from this allusion. For thousands of years, people have used this idiom to describe doing things only for immediate interests, without knowing (not considering) the harm behind.
In the last five definitions, mantis catches cicadas and yellowbirds. This is a short-sighted metaphor. It just wants to calculate others, but I didn't expect others to calculate him.
When you see the cicada in Zhuangzi Miki, you will forget its body. When you see it, you will forget its shape. Different birds benefit from it, and forget the righteousness at the sight of profit. "
One night, Xiaohong couldn't sleep, so she asked her mother to tell him a story. Her mother smiled and said, "OK, OK! Tonight, my mother told a story about mantis catching cicada and yellowbird. " Xiaohong immediately lay down and listened to the story. ...
Once upon a time, there was a swallow who could only understand human speech. People call him the god bird. One night, the god bird slept very restlessly because he thought something terrible would happen. Sure enough, there was a flood at noon the next day. I saw that the sky that was just blue turned black in the blink of an eye, and the white clouds soon turned into dark clouds. Lightning, hail, strong wind, thunderstorm and rainstorm came at the same time like garbage, and the flood flooded the whole village like the Loch Ness monster. Hearing the groan of someone calling for help in the cave where he lives, the god bird quickly ran out to have a look. When he saw the scene in front of him, he was almost scared to death, but he soon calmed down. He used his quick wits and knocked down a board the size of a bed. The living people saw the board as if it were a lifeline and swam there desperately. Seeing that everyone was rescued, the bird hurried to find the barefoot fairy. The barefoot fairy used her magical power to bring the rescued people to the mountain. The bird asked the barefoot fairy why there was a flood. The barefoot fairy said, "Because humans cut down a lot of trees, there are no trees to resist the excessive water flow, which caused the flood." The bird said; "Then why do they cut down trees?" After that, the barefoot fairy and the bird walked up to the human beings and asked them why they cut down trees. Those people said; "We cut down trees to make paper and furniture ..." The barefoot fairy and the bird said, "Then you should cut down the right amount. Why do you cut so much? " "Because they use paper quickly! We need enough trees. " The barefoot fairy and the bird nodded and walked away without looking back.
Xiaohong listened and asked; "Since this story is about the cause of the flood, why is it called the adaptation of mantis catching cicada and yellowbird?" "You ask this question, that you haven't understood the story. Mother said: "The mantis that catches cicadas and yellowbirds behind refers to us, cicadas refer to trees, and yellowbirds refer to floods, but the consequences of human chopping down trees are floods." Mom said it again. Do you still want to waste paper after hearing this story? "Little red shook his head and fell asleep.
Although this is only a story, we should learn from it, scrimp and save, and cherish nature.
In the last 6 days, the temperature rises and the ground temperature warms. Grandma Pippi and her husband are huddled in a dark, narrow and low cave. After hibernation, she was the first to open her sleepy eyes.
Rubbing her eyes, she looked around and saw that her husband had not woken up from hibernation, and her children and grandchildren scattered in other places not far from home were still sleeping soundly. From time to time, there were bouts of slight snoring in the nearby house.
So Grandma Pippi quickly put on her clothes, socks and shoes, took off the tin microphone from the wall and walked carefully to her balcony. The mouth of the tin microphone was plated around the mouth, and the sound rang like a broken gong:
"Boy, it's warm. It's time to get up after a winter's sleep!"
"Who is shouting here!" Hee hee and tintin are lying in bed, eyes closed, mumbling.
"hurry up! Hurry up! Don't miss the time. " Grandma Pippi listened attentively to the movement around her, but nothing happened. Then the loud voice, which was raised by eight degrees, shouted again.
Hee hee touched her husband's elbow, and her husband muttered impatiently:
"What? You let me sleep before it gets dark! Really annoying. "
"Listen! Isn't this mom's voice! " Hee hee said to her husband.
The husband's tinkling and drumming made him more energetic. Quickly open your narrowed eyes slightly and listen carefully with your ears sideways.
"yes! It's mom telling us to get up quickly! " He also quickly slipped out of bed, dressed and put on his hat, which only took three or two times.
"Hee hee, what are you still doing here! Come on, come on, go wake up the children. Otherwise, we will go late, and mom and dad will miss us again! "
Hee hee listened to her husband's reminder, so she slowed down and didn't dare to neglect at all. Hurry up and urge your children to get up quickly.
Tintin also came to help Xi-Xi supervise the array, but it made great efforts to keep everyone together. They just tell the children why. They led the team in front, one by one, like stepping on hot wheels, flying to the Sun Dam in front of grandparents' caves.
Originally, Grandma Pippi was full of annoyance and insisted on an outbreak, but when she saw many children and grandchildren standing in the sun dam in a standardized and silent way, she gradually pushed her stomach full of annoyance back.
Grandma Pippi is smiling at her children and grandchildren. She simply arranged the task of going out today-this is the first time to go out for food in the wild since the spring. Say and was about to tell the children at the beginning, the husband waved:
"Be calm! Calm down! Everyone is in no hurry, Grandpa, I still have something important to say to you. "
Everyone was taken back by grandpa's gesture of waving his hand. It turned out to be a leg. They can't take their eyes off grandpa.
Only heard grandpa "sloped-sloped-"dry cough a few times and said:
"Since it is foraging outside, it is not as leisure as at home at ordinary times. I want to say something before you run away from home. First, everyone should pay special attention to safety, and second, your brothers and sisters should be United and friendly. "
Grandpa paused, and then asked everyone:
"Do you all understand what Grandpa just told you?"
"Listen to understand! Please rest assured, Grandpa. " The loud voice echoed over the Sun Dam in front of grandparents' cave.
Grandpa smiled and nodded, loudly announced:
"Children-let's go!"
It was the setting sun when we set out, and the power of the sun had weakened a lot.
All the participants in this team have shortcomings and are afraid of the sun. The stronger the light, the worse their eyesight and the harder it is to use. Especially at this time, although it is close to evening, the sun still casts a faint light. If the leaders don't pay attention to exploring the road, this team is likely to hit a wall one by one. The leader carefully used his tentacles to explore the road ahead. Once he encountered obstacles, he would make a detour without hesitation, with a long snake array behind him.
The team leader led the team to a hilly land with more stones and less soil, and then gradually stopped. Hee hee and tintin are behind the team, and some feel it.
Tintin's father ran to the front of the team quickly. The team leader immediately reported the terrain here to him.
Ding-ding immediately stopped the team and loudly said:
"Children, this is a mountainous area with more sand and less soil. Not far ahead is a wet land, overgrown with weeds, scattered with rocks and countless ditches. It is a good place for us to feed. "
The children listened to grandpa one after another.
"Everybody cheer up and listen carefully. Don't be careless about the tree holes and warm roots under the loose soil slope with the lee facing the sun. "
Grandpa had a rest and said:
"You can act alone or go hand in hand. All in all, you have to keep your eyes open, search carefully, observe carefully, and eat and drink enough before we can retreat to the camp. "
Time flies, it's already past 2 1 pm, and grandma's family is looking for food everywhere.
Because the density is too high, sometimes in order to compete for food, it is inevitable to kill each other, causing many casualties.
Dad Ding Ding is taking his children to surround an earthworm. At first, they found the food-earthworms, and they crept up quietly. They didn't startle them first, but they all stayed quietly next to the earthworm and carefully observed what the earthworm was doing.
Earthworms are just loosening the soil and making holes. I saw his head go into the hole, but I didn't find Tintin and his accomplices. They were watching him with malicious intent.
At that time, ding-ding dad ordered:
"Come on, children, take this bird off for me!" Ding Ding Dad said flatly.
His son and daughters rushed forward quickly, and one of them began to try to pierce the earthworm's tail with the front clip. The earthworm felt the pain, and its tail swung hard, and suddenly it swung hard, and something was thrown on its tail, and it fell off its mouth and gnawed at the mud. This time, other brothers and sisters who were still watching rushed up together, stabbed the earthworm's forehead and feet with their claws and injected venom directly. Because all the children of Tintin's father were poisonous, the earthworm fell to the ground and died immediately after being attacked by them.
Ding Ding and her children had a delicious meal. Their bellies were round and full.
Just as they were triumphant, how did they know that "mantis catches cicada-yellowbird is behind." What awaits them will be catastrophic destruction.
In an instant, something even more terrible finally happened. A strong flashlight shone on them, and their eyes were blank and they couldn't see anything at all.
It turned out that several villagers were wearing miner's lamp caps, carrying snakeskin pockets in their left hands and holding a big poker in their right hands, specially to catch countless feet.
As a result, these teams with a long snake array became prisoners one by one and became things in the pockets of the villagers.
