Jingwei Reclamation-Before the Xia Dynasty, the country had not yet formed. At that time, the emperor was far less rich and enjoyed many privileges. But a pure public servant, only doing his duty. The children of the emperor have no special titles such as prince and princess, and their status is not noble, just like the children of ordinary people.
Emperor Yan has a daughter named Jing Wei, who is cheerful and lively and likes to fight against injustice. One day, she went out to play with children and saw an older child riding a horse. The children are tired and climb down, but the older children will not give up.
Jingwei walked over and pointed at the head of the older child and said angrily, "You are shameless. What is the skill of bullying children? If you have the strength to fight tigers and bears, people will say you are a hero. "
The boss saw that Jingwei was a little girl, born thin and didn't take her seriously at all. He jumped down from the child's back, walked up to Jingwei and said, "I am the son of the sea dragon king. Who are you? How dare you meddle in my business! "
Jingwei said, "What's the big deal about the son of the Dragon King? I am also the daughter of Emperor Yan. Don't run wild on land in the future, or I'll hang you on a tree to dry. "

Seeing that the son of the Dragon King could not defeat Jingwei, he had to return to the sea in despair.
A few days later, Jingwei went swimming in the sea, having a good time, and happened to be discovered by the son of the Dragon King. He swam to Jingwei and said, You got a bargain on land one day. Today, you run to my door and make a mistake quickly, or I will make waves and drown you. "
Jingwei stubbornly said: "I am right. I don't know what's wrong. "
Seeing that Jingwei was stubborn, the son of the Dragon King had no intention of giving up. He immediately stirred up the sea and set off strong winds and waves. Jingwei had no time to struggle and was drowned.

Three Mulberry Forests Pray for Rain-History of Shang Dynasty: When the Tang Dynasty changed (1), it was a long drought (2). Tai Shi took it and said, "Pray with others." Tang said, "I ask for rain, and people also ask for rain." If you must employ people, please be yourself. "Then I fasted, cut my hair, broke my claws, rode on a white horse (3) and a small cogongrass (4), and prayed in the mulberry fields as sacrifices. Six things of self-reproach: "Political misconduct (5)? People neglect their duties (6)? Court worship (7)? Female sheng sheng (8)? Does it matter (19)? Rudder (10)? "Haven't said exports, it rained thousands of miles. ("Huai Nan Zi Zhu Shu Xun")
According to the historical records of Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was no rain and drought for a long time when Cheng Tang was in power. After divination, the Taishi said, "You should kill a man to beg for rain." Cheng Tang said, "What I want to do is to save talents and beg for rain. If I must ask God for rain by killing people, please allow me to be that person myself. " So Cheng Tang bathed and fasted, trimmed his hair and nails, rode a white horse, pulled a car without ornate decoration, and was wrapped in imperata. As a victim who prayed to God for rain, he prayed to God in the mulberry wilderness and blamed himself for six things, saying, "Is it my improper government order or my poor management that made my officials dereliction of duty and made the people miserable?" Either my palace is too expensive and luxurious, or because I listened to the concubines playing politics; Or my laws are lax, leading to corruption and bribery; Or because I am not good at employing people, so I flatter the villain! "Cheng Tang's words haven't say that finish, heavy rain in Wan Li, Fiona Fang.
Fourth, help others-Source: Historical Records: Stay in Houjia. "Under Mandarin Vietnamese": "If you don't help Heaven, it's unlucky to help Heaven."
Interpretation: Help the bad guys do bad things.
The story happened in the ancient capital. Zhou Wang is a notorious tyrant. The idiom "Helping others" says that da ji is not only dissolute and flattering, but also cruel and vicious. In order to satisfy his crazy and abnormal psychology, Zhou Wang was encouraged to design all kinds of shocking inhuman torture to help Zhou Wang to be dissolute and cruel.
Five don't eat-Uncle Boyi, a descendant of Shang Dynasty, swore not to eat the food of Zhou Dynasty after Zhou destroyed Shang Dynasty, and starved to death on a festive day, which was called "Da Yi" by later generations.
Six Nights —— Zhou Gongdan was an outstanding politician in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. He played an important role in the attack on Shang Dynasty led by his brother Ji Fa. After shouldering the heavy responsibility of assisting the state affairs, he was loyal to his duties and worked hard to consolidate the rule of the Zhou Dynasty.
After King Wu died, Zhou Gongdan assisted him to become king. Some nobles suspected him, and made rumors before he became king, saying that he had the ambition to usurp the throne. Some brothers also colluded with Zhou Wang's son Wu Geng to launch an armed rebellion. In addition, the Yi people in the east also took the opportunity to make trouble. However, Duke Zhou was indomitable and acted according to the will of King Wu. He dispelled the misunderstanding of becoming a king, defeated the rebellion of Wu Geng and the resistance of foreigners, formulated etiquette and criminal law, continued to enfeoffment princes, and built Luoyi (now Luoyang, Henan) with its capital as Zhou.
Due to overwork for the country, Duke Zhou died shortly after the establishment of the East Capital. Before he died, he earnestly warned ministers that he must help the son of heaven manage the affairs of the Central Plains. After his death, he should be buried in Chengzhou to show that he will never forget the life of the king.
Mencius praised him and said, "Duke Zhou should learn from the virtues of the founding monarch of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties and govern the Zhou Dynasty well. If there is anything that is not suitable for the situation at that time, he will look up and think day and night. When he comes up with a good solution, he will sit still and implement it immediately. "
Love me, love my dog-if you love that person, you have to take care of the crows who stay on the house. Love a person, even like people or things related to him. (and: joint, reach. Wu: Crow. )
Alien: Love my family, love my family, love my family.
From "Biography of Shangshu": "If you die, the prince of Wu will be the emperor, if the world is undecided. Tell the squire to ask Sun,' What should I do?' Taigong said:' I have heard that lovers are also black houses; He doesn't love others, and his spare time. How come? "
At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang, with the help of military strategist Jiang Shang and others, allied with the governors and sent troops to crusade against Zhou Wang. After Zhou Wang's death, King Wu felt uneasy and felt that there was no peace in the world. He summoned Jiang Taigong and asked, "What shall we do with the soldiers of the old dynasty when we enter Yindu?"
Jiang Taigong said: "I have heard the saying that if you love that person, you will love him like a crow in his family;" If you don't like that person, even his fence is disgusting. In other words, kill all the hostile elements, leaving no one behind. What do you think, your majesty? "
King Wu believes that this cannot be the case. At this time, Zhao Gong stood up and said, "I heard that guilty people should be killed;" Innocent, let them leave residual strength. Your Majesty, what do you think? "
King Wu also thinks this is not good. At this time, Duke Zhou stood up and said, "I think everyone should go back to their homes and plow their fields."
King Wu was very happy when he heard this, and his heart suddenly opened up. He felt that the world could be stable from now on.
Later, King Wu did as Duke Zhou said. Sure enough, the world soon settled down and the Western Zhou Dynasty became stronger.
Classic reason: It is said that Shang Zhouwang in the last years of Shang Dynasty was an extravagant, cruel and heartless bad king (see "Helping others"). Jichang, the Xibe nationality, later Zhou Wenwang, tried every means to escape from prison because he opposed the imprisonment of Zhou Wang. At that time, the capital of Zhou was Qishan (now Qishan County, Shaanxi Province). After returning to Qishan, Zhou Wenwang was determined to overthrow the rule of Shang Dynasty. First, he hired Jiang Shang (Jiang Taigong), a military strategist, to actively train and prepare for war, and then he annexed several small vassal states around him, and his power gradually became stronger. Then, the capital moved to Fengyi (now near Huxian County, Shaanxi Province) and prepared to move eastward. However, Zhou Wenwang died shortly after moving the capital.
Zhou Wenwang's son Ji Fa succeeded to the throne, namely Zhou Wuwang. Jiang Taigong continues to be a strategist. King Wu's half-brother Ji Dan (Duke Zhou) and his half-brother Ji Shi (Zhao Gong) are two right-hand men. At the same time, King Wu won the support of several other governors. So, it was officially announced that it would send troops to attack Zhou. The army crossed the Yellow River in Jin Meng (now the South Yellow River Ferry in Mengxian County, Henan Province), pushed northeast, and approached Song Chao in Shang Dynasty (now the northeast of Qixian County, Henan Province). Because Shang Zhouwang had lost all his heart, and the army didn't want to die for him, so he ran away and fell down, and the uprising was soon conquered. Zhou Wang committed suicide, and the Shang Dynasty was over. In the next 800 years, it became the world of Zhou Dynasty, known as the Zhou Dynasty in history.
At the beginning of Zhou Wuwang's conquest of Chao Ge, King Wu was worried about how to deal with the nobles and officials left over from Shang Dynasty and whether he could stabilize the situation. To this end, he held consultations with Jiang Taigong and others. There is such a written record in Shuo Yuan Gui Fa compiled by Liu Xiang in Han Dynasty:
"Yin Ke, the king of Wu, summoned Taigong and asked,' What about the Naiqi people?' Taigong said to him:' I love people who love them, and I love black houses; People who hate others hate others. What if Xian Liu defeated the enemy and made it more than enough? " "
Zhou Wuwang defeated Yin Shang, summoned Jiang Taigong and asked, "What about their personnel?" Taigong replied, "I heard that if you love that person, you will also love his crow;" If you hate that man, get rid of his servants and servants. What do you think of killing all the enemies and leaving none? "
The so-called "Seo Woo" in the original text refers to the petty official with the lowest status, the housekeeper of the slave owners and nobles, and so on. (Yu, Wei, etc. ; Xu; Small officials. )
There are similar records in the biography of Shangshu compiled by Fu Sheng in Han Dynasty:
"Zhou died, featuring panic if the world is undecided. Then he called Taigong and said, "How about entering Yin?" Said the squire, "I heard that; People who love are also black houses; He doesn't love others, and his spare time. " "
This record is similar to that contained in Shuo Yuan. However, the word "Seo Woo" is written as "Yu Xu", which means different things. "Yu Xu" no longer belongs to the level of professional history, but a slave or criminal lower than "Seo Woo", such as "Taishi" Ji Zi, who was imprisoned because of dissatisfaction, so he pretended to be crazy and was willing to be a slave, so Zhuangzi called him "Yu Xu".
In addition, The Biography of Six Pagodas of Han Poetry and other records about the above conversation are basically the same. Because of this legend, the idiom "love me, love my dog" came into being.
China has had a superstitious custom since ancient times, thinking that crows are "ominous birds", and whoever lands on its house will suffer misfortune. In the Xiaoya section of The Book of Songs, the oldest collection of poems in China, there is a poem entitled The First Month, which contains "Whose home is this?" It can be seen that the ancients hated crows, but few people loved them. The so-called "love me, love my dog" is because I love that person, and even his crows don't think it's ominous and annoying. This idiom has always been used as a metaphor for pushing love. Because you love a person deeply, you love his relatives, friends and other people or other things. This is called "love me, love my dog" or "love me, love my dog".
Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Give Li Shehong" (Shehong, a place name, in present-day Sichuan; In Li's poem, the first two sentences are: "A husband has a place to live, and his hobby is good." There is a sentence in Song Dynasty's Poem of Lianxi written by Zhou Dunyi: "Angry crabs in the water, love my house and my dog". In the poem "Boyi" written in the Song Dynasty, there is also a saying that "when it is clear, I look at the birds in front of the door and people look at your family", all of which use the idiom "love me, love my dog".
Eight, save for a rainy day-Zhou Wuwang led the army to destroy the business, sent active ministers to various places to be governors, and left the Duke of Zhou to assist in the court affairs. After the death of King Wu, the young king managed state affairs with the support of Duke Zhou. Some people spread rumors that Duke Zhou would be deposed as king. Duke Zhou said that he would take precautions like a bird, rectify state affairs, eliminate rebellion, and then retire himself.
When Zhou Liwang ruled the Zhou Dynasty, many industries that civilians depended on for their livelihood were turned over to the royal family, and people's livelihood and grievances were boiling for a while.
Li Wang refused to listen to persuasion and used spies to deal with the people. He sent people to Weiguo (Qixian County, Henan Province) and invited many wizards to patrol the streets of Haojing (west of Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province) to eavesdrop on people's conversations. Anyone they accused of rebellion or slander was imprisoned and executed.
Soon, Hao Jing could no longer hear the voice of criticizing Li Wang. Later, people simply stopped talking, and relatives and friends only dared to express their dissatisfaction with Li Wang with their eyes when they met on the road.
Zhou Youwang's concubines don't like to laugh, so Zhou Youwang ordered a bonfire to light the alarm, so the ministers led the troops to give first aid, but there was no enemy. I smiled happily when I saw this situation. Zhou Youwang said, "When you fall in love with a princess, you are full of charm. This is the credit of Uncle Guo. " So he gave Shi Guo's father two hundred pieces of gold. The princes' hearts are fading.
Eleven wine pool meat forest-wine pool meat forest: According to legend, wine pool meat forest is a long night drink in Yinzhou. At first, it refers to a decadent and extremely luxurious life, and later it also describes a lot of wine and meat. "Historical Records Yin Benji": "Take wine as a pool and hang meat as a forest." "Han Zhang Qian Biography": "Reward, wine pool meat forest." Zhou Wang listened to da ji's words and built a wine pool and a meat forest. He was reckless, unruly and wanton. (Xu Ming Lin Zhong's "Love of the Gods" back to the seventeenth)
Twelve squires are willing to take the bait-Jiang Taigong, also known as Jiang Shang, is a master in the East China Sea. He was the chief strategist and supreme military commander of Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and also the founding father of Western Zhou Dynasty. He is the founder of Qi and Qi culture, and also an outstanding strategist, strategist and politician with far-reaching influence in ancient China. He is known as the "Seven Ancestors of Zhou Shi" and "One Hundred Masters" and occupies an important position in the history of China. Jiang Shang was born in a humble background, and he was wandering and miserable for the first half of his life, but he was knowledgeable and ambitious, and he firmly believed that he could make a difference. It is said that Xibe Jichang respects sages and practices extensive benevolent policies. More than seventy years old, Xiqiao all the way. But after coming to Xiqiao, he did not rush to introduce himself, but came to live in Panxi (now Baoji County, Shaanxi Province) on the north bank of Weishui. After that, he fished on the Weihe River every day, waiting for the arrival of the wise monarch. Jiang Shang's fishing method is strange, short and long, the line is straight, no bait is used, the fishing rod does not hang into the water, and it is three feet high from the water. While fishing, he said to himself, "Jiang Shang fishes, who wants to take the bait?" A woodcutter named Wu Ji, seeing that Jiang Ziya had no bait, sneered: "Fishing like you, let alone three years, even a hundred years, can't catch a fish." Jiang Shang said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know another. It is not a gentleman's move to take fish from a song. I'd rather accept it directly than from the song. My hook is not for fishing, but for kings and princes. " Later, he did catch Zhou Wenwang Jichang. Ji Changxing was in urgent need of talents and learned that Jiang Shang, who was old and thin, was very talented. He fasted for three days, bathed himself, took a dowry, and personally went to Panxi to apply for a job, and named Jiang Shang as a photo. Jiang Shang assisted King Wen, prospered the country and founded the country, and helped Zhou Wuwang Ji Fa, the son of Ji Chang, destroy the business. I was also sealed in the state of Qi by King Wu, and my desire to make contributions was realized. Jiang Ziya caught a "prince's big fish". The idiom "Jiang Taigong fishes, and the willing takes the bait" comes from this. Jiang Taigong's straight hook fishing is a kind of moral integrity, preferring to take the straight hook rather than the straight hook.
13. Stay away from three big families: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jin Xiangong listened to rumors, killed Prince Shen Sheng, and sent someone to arrest Shen Sheng's half-brother Zhong Er. After hearing this news, Zhong Er fled the State of Jin and went into exile for 19 years. After many hardships, Zhong Er came to the State of Chu. King Chu thought that Zhong Er would make great achievements in the future, so he greeted him with a gift from the monarch and treated him like a distinguished guest. One day, the King of Chu gave a banquet in honor of Zhong Er. Two people drinking wine, chatting, the atmosphere is very harmonious. Suddenly, the king of Chu asked Zhong Er, "If one day you return to the State of Jin and become a monarch, how can you repay me?" Zhong Er thought for a moment and said, "Beautiful waitress, precious silk, Your Majesty, you have a lot of rare bird feathers, ivory leather and even more Chu. What rare things does Jin have for your majesty? " The king of Chu said, "You are too modest. Even so, you should show me something? " Zhong Er smiled and replied, "If thanks to you, I can really return to China to take power, and I am willing to get along with your country. If one day, Jin Chu goes to war, I will definitely order the troops to retreat first (one house equals thirty miles). If I can't get your forgiveness, I'll fight you again. " Four years later, Zhong Er really returned to the State of Jin and became a monarch. This is the famous Jin Wengong in history. The state of Jin became stronger and stronger under his rule. In 633 BC, the two armies of Chu and Jin fought. In order to fulfill his promise, Jin Wengong ordered the troops to retreat 90 miles and stay in Chengpu. When Chu Jun saw that 8 Jin J was retreating, he thought the other side was afraid and immediately pursued it. The Jin army took advantage of the weakness of the Chu army's pride in underestimating the enemy, concentrated its forces and defeated the Chu army greatly, and won the battle of Chengpu. The story comes from Zuo Zhuan Xi Gong Twenty-two Years. This idiom means not arguing with others or making concessions on your own initiative.
The 14th King of Chu won the championship: After the State of Chu became strong, King Zhuang led a demonstration in the suburb of Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, and asked the delegates about the size of the tripod, which was called "the King of Chu won the championship" in history. Ding is a symbol of the throne, which shows that it has the ambition to replace Zhou Wang and dominate the world.
1500 steps through Yang-"Historical Records Zhou Benji": "Chu has Yang, who is good at shooting, is also good at shooting. Go to the willow tree and shoot it with a hundred steps. "
Sixteen unique images-tear off the knotted belt. According to "On Fu Yuan 'en" written by Liu Xiang in the Han Dynasty, Chu Zhuangwang hosted a banquet for his ministers, and the wine went out until sunset. Some people wear beautiful clothes. A beauty saved her crown and told the king that she was burned in the fire and wanted to get rid of it. If the king disobeyed, the princes were exhausted and angry, and they were all happy. In the last three years, Jin Chu went to war, and some Chu generals defected to the enemy and died, defeating the Jin army. When the king asked, he was the one he knew before.
In 605 BC, Chu Zhuangwang put down the rebellion and was very happy. He sent his troops back to Korea and held a grand celebration party and banquet in the palace. King Zhuang thinks that his ministers can drink as much as they like. In the evening, I haven't finished drinking. King Zhuang ordered the candles to be lit and the carnival continued. King Zhuang was very happy to see the ministers, so he asked his beloved Princess Jixu to propose a toast to everyone. Ji Xu is very beautiful, and coming out to toast everyone adds a bit of cheerful atmosphere to everyone. Just as she gave everyone a toast, a strong wind blew out all the candles in the hall. Someone grabbed Ji Xu's sleeve and tried to flirt with her. Ji Xu is very clever. She didn't tell anyone, but took the opportunity to tear off the tassel on the man's hat and asked Zhuang Wang to find out the man and deal with him. After hearing this, Wang Zengda said loudly that everyone should enjoy drinking at the party today and take off their hats and tassels. After the ministers took off their hats and tassels, King Zhuang ordered the candles to be lit. Ji Xu was very surprised by this. After the meeting, Ji Xu complained that Zhuang Wang didn't take it out on her. King Zhuang said with a smile, "Everyone is happy. Now some people are excusable for being rude after drinking. If you kill the hero for this matter, it will make the patriotic soldiers chilling and the people will no longer try their best for Chu. Have to admire Chu's thoughtfulness. "
Later, Chu Zhuangwang personally led an army to attack Zheng, only to be ambushed by Zheng. At this critical juncture, Tang Qian, deputy commander of Chujun, rushed into the encirclement alone and rescued Chu Zhuangwang. King Zhuang rewarded Tang Qian, but Tang Qian politely declined to say, "At the farewell party, it was the minister who pulled Ji Xu's sleeve. He thanked King Zhuang for not killing him, so he gave his life today." Zhuang Wang was deeply touched after hearing this.
Later, it was used as a symbol of generosity. People use this allusion to show magnanimity, which is used in Cao Zhi's "Seeking a Self-test Table" in the Three Kingdoms: "The minister who stole the horse spared me, and Chu and Zhao helped him."
