Go into the water to salvage the moon.Metaphor to do something that can't be done at all, it can only be a waste of effort. Volume 7 of "Maha Monk's Law": "At that time, the macaque thought it was the shadow of the moon, and said to the companions: 'The moon died today, fell into the well, and it should come out together. Don't let the night of the world be dark." We made a discussion together, so what It can come out. At that time, the macaque said: "I know the way out, I catch the branch, you catch my tail, twist and connect, and then I can get out."" This is a story that the Buddha told all the monks who listened to him.In the distant past, there was a city of Balonai in the country of Jiashi. A group of macaques lived in a spare place in the city, playing in the woods all day long.One night, when the moon was shining brightly, the group of macaques ran to a well under a tree to play, and saw the shadow of the moon in the well.At this time, the Monkey King said to the group of monkeys: "The moon is falling into the well now and will drown. We should rescue it together, so as not to let the dark night in the world become dark." The monkeys talked a lot, saying what should happen help?The monkey king said again: "I know the way. I will grab the branch, and you will grab my tail. One by one, we can go down to the well to fish it out." So the monkeys followed the monkey king's arrangement, one by one. Grab one by the tail and approach Moonshadow in the well.More and more monkeys were connected, and before reaching the water, the branches were broken, and the monkeys fell into the well.The tree god saw it and said, "You fools who eat wild fruits are really fools following fools. How can the moon in the water be saved? It seems to me that it is asking for trouble. How can such thinking save the whole world?" What about the world?" Finding a needle in a haystack Seeking happiness from material desires is tantamount to fishing for moons in water, and will never achieve the goal. A metaphor for well-known ambition. "Three Kingdoms · Wei Zhi · Gaogui Township Gongji" Pei Songzhi's annotation quoted "Han Jin Chunqiu": "(Emperor) said: 'Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by. I can't sit and be humiliated. Today I should go out with Qing and others. Discuss it.'” In the later period of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi took over the power. After his death, his son Sima Shi succeeded him. After Sima Shi died, Sima Shi's younger brother Sima Zhao succeeded him as the general.After several generations of management, the Sima family controlled the state affairs of Cao Wei, and the emperor basically became a decoration.At that time, the young emperor was called Cao Mao. He was very angry when he saw that the emperor's power and power were declining day by day.He secretly summoned Wang Shen, Shangshu Wangjing, and Sanqi Changshi Wangye, and said to them: "Sima Zhao's thoughts are known even to passers-by on the road. I can't wait for him to depose me and be humiliated. You go out of the palace and attack him together." Wang Jing thought that Sima had been in power for a long time, and the people's hearts had already belonged to him, and the palace guards were too small and weak to compete with him, so the matter of using force to resist should be reconsidered in detail .Cao Mao took out the jade token in his arms and threw it on the ground, swearing: "I have made a decision. I am planning to risk my life, so what's the point of dying? Besides, if you succeed, you don't necessarily have to die." Wang Chen and Wang Ye rushed out to report to Sima Zhao. As soon as Sima Zhao was ready, Cao Mao rushed out of the palace with hundreds of servants shouting.Sima Zhao's troops were reprimanded by the emperor and retreated one after another. Cao Mao, wielding a long sword in his hand, fought bravely with Sima Zhao's subordinate Jia Chong.One of Jia Chong's generals, Cheng Ji, asked Jia Chong what to do, and Jia Chong angrily said, "You people are raised just for today, so why ask?" In Cao Mao, the blade is exposed from the back. After Cao Mao's death, Sima Zhao made Cao Huan emperor and continued to control the Cao Wei regime.Five years later, Sima Yan, the son of Sima Zhao, abolished Cao Huan, proclaimed himself king, and established the Western Jin Dynasty. Close up: close, close.Do not close your eyes when you die.Said that the mind is not over, and there are regrets after death. "Three Kingdoms · Wu Zhi · Sun Jian Biography": "Jian said: 'Zhuo is against the sky and has no way, and he overthrew the royal family. Now he will not bar the three clans of Ru, and the county will show the world, so I will die without regret.'" At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs and relatives took turns ruling, the court was corrupt and the people were in dire straits, and finally the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out.Dong Zhuo was a native of Lintao, Gansu in the northwest region. He gradually established his own army in the process of conquering the Yellow Turban Army, entrenched in the Hedong area, and refused to accept the imperial court's dispatch.Later, during the struggle between eunuchs and relatives, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to lead troops into Beijing and took control of the central government.Since then, Dong Zhuo has messed up the harem, indulged soldiers to disregard human lives, plundered people's wealth, and abused ministers, which aroused the public indignation of the people all over the world. After the death of Emperor Ling of Han, Dong Zhuo was good at government affairs and indulged in arrogance and indulgence in the capital.All the prefectures and counties jointly raised troops, elected Yuan Shu as the leader, and planned to conquer Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian also responded positively.Sun Jian was Sun Quan's father, and his status was still low at that time. He led his troops to meet Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu recommended him as General Polu and Inspector of Yuzhou.Afterwards, in the war against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian was brave and firm. He persisted in fighting despite repeated failures, and finally defeated Dong Zhuo's army at Yangren (place name) and killed Dong Zhuo's governor Hua Xiong. After the victory of the Yang people, Dong Zhuo was very afraid of Sun Jian's bravery and tenacity, and planned to bribe him.So he sent his subordinates over and asked Sun Jian to make a list of his children's cronies, so that the imperial court could assign gifts and rewards according to the list.Sun Jianyi said sternly: "Dong Zhuo violated the destiny, subverted the royal family, and rebelled against the law. If I don't kill your parents and wife's clan today, and don't make your crimes known to the world, I will not close my eyes when I die. How can I get married with you?" What about it?" Sun Jian finally became the founder and pioneer of Wu's cause because of his bravery and determination. Regret for life Entrepreneurs who are known as the "master of turning losses" issued a military order to everyone: if the fertilizer factory is not built up, they will die in peace. Re: again, again.It is a metaphor for a lost person regaining power or something that has ceased to be active again. "Historical Records Biography of Han Changru": "The jailer Tian Jia humiliated Anguo, and Anguo said: 'Dead ashes alone will never return?'" Han Anguo, courtesy name Changru, was born in Cheng'an, Liang State, Western Han Dynasty.他年轻时曾在山东邹平县跟随田生学习《韩子》及杂家学说,后来在梁国梁孝王朝内当中大夫。七国之乱时,韩安国带兵阻击叛军,他沉稳持重、指挥得当,叛军始终被阻挡在梁国之外,因而名扬天下。后来,当梁孝王受到汉景帝猜忌时,又作为梁王的使臣前往长安,疏通了双方的关系,显示了自己出众的交际才能。 韩安国曾因触犯法律被囚禁在梁国蒙县的监狱,狱吏田甲羞辱他。韩安国说:“死灰难道不会再燃烧吗?”田甲说:“如果燃烧起来,我就用尿把他浇灭。”不久,梁国缺乏内史官(西汉时各诸侯国内由朝廷选派的民政官员)的人选,西汉朝廷派使者拜韩安国为梁国内史,韩安国一下从监狱犯人变为年薪两千石的高级官员,田甲吓得逃走了。韩安国说:“田甲你要是不上班,我就诛灭你的家族。”田甲只得袒露身体、负荆请罪。韩安国笑着说:“你现在可撒尿来浇灭我了!不过你们实在不值得我来跟你们计较。”最终没有为难田甲。 韩安国后来担任了御史大夫(地位仅次于丞相,掌管弹劾纠察及图籍秘书),在和匈奴的斗争中主张和亲政策,得到汉武帝的器重,成为当时著名的政治家。 东山再起 吸毒、赌博等丑恶的现象在新形势下死灰复燃,引起了政府的高度警惕。 辜:罪,罪过。即使死了也不足以抵其罪。形容罪大恶极。 《汉书·路温舒传》:“盖奏当之成,虽咎繇听之,犹以为死有余辜。” 路温舒是东汉巨鹿东里人。他父亲是东里的守门人,让路温舒放羊。路温舒把蒲草编联起来,抄写书籍,逐渐积累了不少学问,得以做了一个管理监狱的小吏。他又专心学习法令,县里遇到疑难事情大家都来问他。太守到县里来视察时,看到路温舒,非常欣赏他,让他担任治理监狱的官佐。后来,路温舒又学习《春秋》,懂得了治理国家的大义。 汉宣帝即位后,路温舒上书,认为应该崇尚德政,宽缓刑罚。他在上呈的奏章中说:“陛下刚刚登上最尊贵的位置,与天意相合,应当改变前代的过失,涤除繁琐的礼仪、政令和刑罚,革除人民的疾苦。我听说秦朝有十个失误,其中一个现在仍然存在,那就是办理狱讼的官吏。秦朝时,耻事文学,爱好勇武,看不起仁义的士人,看重治理监狱的官吏。那时,正直的劝谏称作诽谤,劝谏的忠言叫做妖言,儒生不为世用,忠言淤积于胸,阿谀奉承的声音充满了耳朵,真实的祸患被遮蔽起来,这便是秦朝灭亡的原因。现今天下没有战争和饥寒,父子夫妻能够致力于经营自己的家庭,但是这种太平还没有遍及天下,原因就在于狱讼这一祸患。现在的官吏把苛严当做明断,玩弄法律,使人深陷于罪者获得了公平的名声,真正公平断案的人反倒后患无穷。官吏们害怕案情上奏后被驳回,就对判词精心加以锤炼和罗织。这种情况下,上奏的判词写成后,即使咎繇来审理此案,也仍然会认为嫌犯即使死了也不足以抵罪。所以天下的祸患,没有比狱讼更大的;败坏法令,扰乱政治,离间亲近,堵塞正道,没有比狱吏更厉害的。希望陛下简省法治,宽缓刑罚,革除弊政,那么太平的风气可以在世上兴起,和乐就会像苍天一样没有穷尽。”宣帝认为路温舒说得很好,路温舒因此得以升迁,路家成为显贵的家族。 比喻处于四面受敌、孤立无援的境地。 《史记·项羽本纪》:“项王军壁垓下,兵少食尽,汉军及诸侯兵围之数重。夜闻汉军四面皆楚歌,项王乃大惊曰:'汉皆已得楚乎?是何楚人之多也!'” 项羽、刘邦推翻秦王朝以后,两家之间又进行了长达五年的楚汉战争。由于项羽刚愎自用,错失了多次良机,最后被刘邦打败,退驻在垓下。当时项羽的士兵少,军粮也已吃完,汉军和诸侯的军队把他们包围了好几重。晚上听见汉军军营四面都在唱楚地的民歌,项羽大惊,说:“难道汉军已经把楚国全部占领了吗?为何他们那里有那么多的楚国人呢?”于是项羽就起来在帐中饮酒。看到陪伴自己的美人虞姬和战马乌骓,项羽非常难过,他慷慨悲歌,唱到:“力拔山啊气盖世,天时不利啊骓不跑。骓不跑啊怎么办?虞姬又该怎么办?”项羽唱了好几遍,唱着唱着流下了眼泪,手下的人也都跟着哭了。 随后项羽带领八百多名壮士趁着夜色突出重围,等跑到东城,项羽身边只剩下二十八个骑兵,而汉军追击的骑兵有几千人。一番血战后,项羽自知大势已去,便在乌江边上自刎而死。 cornered 旗开得胜 李陵被匈奴追逼到一个山谷中,孤立无援,四面楚歌,不得已而投降。 四体:四肢。勤:辛劳。本指不参加劳作。后用以比喻好吃懒做。 《论语·微子》:“丈人曰:'四体不勤,五谷不分,孰为夫子?'” 春秋时期,子路跟随老师孔子周游列国。有一天行路时落到了后面,子路正着急,遇到一位老农用手杖挑着农具,于是赶紧问到:“您见到夫子了吗?”老农看了一眼子路,说:“不参加农业劳动,连五谷都分辨不清楚,谁可以称为夫子?”然后把手杖插在地里,开始除草。子路恭敬地站在一边,一直等他干完农活。于是老农请子路到他家里过夜,还杀鸡做饭招待,并让自己的儿子来拜见。 第二天子路赶上孔子,就把昨天的事情告诉了老师。孔子说:“这是一位隐士。”孔子也想和老农谈谈,就叫子路马上回去找他。子路返回那里,老农已经外出,没有找到。孔子就告诫子路说:“不为国家效力,生命就没有意义。像老农这样隐居起来,是独自想在污浊的世界里保持自己一人的清白,但他忘记了为国为君奉献的大道理,这不是道德高尚的君子所追求的事情。” 饭来张口,衣来伸手,造成了孩子四体不勤、自理能力差的恶果。 形容事物似真而实假,或似正确而实错误。 《庄子·山木》:“材与不材之间,似之而非也,故未免乎累。” 庄子在山里行走,看见一棵大树,枝叶繁茂。伐木的人在这棵大树旁边休息却不去砍伐它。庄子问:“为何不伐这棵大树?”伐木的人说:“它没有什么用处。”庄子于是说:“这棵树因为不成材得以活到老。”庄子从山里走出,借住在朋友家里,朋友非常高兴,让儿子杀只鹅来招待他。儿子问:“家里两只鹅,一只会叫,一直不会叫,杀哪一只呢?”主人说:“杀掉那只不会叫的。” 第二天,庄子的学生问庄子说:“昨天咱们在山里遇见的大树,因为自己不成材而不被砍伐,现在主人家的鹅,却因为自己不成材而被杀掉。我们应该怎么对待这些事情?”庄子笑着回答说:“如果是我,我将处于'材'与'不材'之间。处于'材'与'不材'之间,就会既像是什么,其实又不是什么,就好像既合于大道其实却又并非真正与大道相合,这样就不能免于拘束与劳累。假如能顺应自然而自由自在地游乐就不是这样。没有赞誉没有诋毁,时而像龙一样腾飞时而像蛇一样蛰伏,跟随时间的推移而变化,而不愿偏滞于某一方面;时而进取时而退缩,一切以顺和作为度量,优游自得地生活在万物的初始状态;役使外物,却不被外物所役使,那么,怎么会受到外物的拘束和劳累呢?这就是神农、黄帝的处世原则。至于说到万物的真情,人类的传习,就不是这样的。有聚合也就有离析,有成功也就有毁败;棱角锐利就会受到挫折,尊显就会受到倾覆,有为就会受到亏损,贤能就会受到谋算,而无能也会受到欺侮,怎么可以一定要偏滞于某一方面呢!弟子们,你们记住了,最好的选择恐怕还只有归于自然吧!”
