It turns out that there are so many idioms and allusions in Daxing, you certainly don't know!

Interpretation: kettle: pot. Break the rice cooker and sink the ferry. Metaphor does not leave a retreat, and you must win the battle.

2. Be on the sidelines

Interpretation:? Wall: barrier. View: Watch. Originally, it meant that the two sides were at war and stood on the rampart and watched. After many metaphors stand by and watch, don't help.

Source: Historical Records of Xiang Yu: "When Chu attacked Qin, all generals looked at it from the wall."

3. take one as ten

explanation: when: quite. One man resists ten men. Describe the army as brave and good at fighting.

Source: Historical Records of Xiang Yu: "All Chu soldiers are equal to ten, Chu soldiers call for action, and all governors and troops are afraid."

These three idioms all come from the Julu War described in Historical Records. Xingtai and Qin belonged to Julu County. The famous Julu War in history took place in Julu and Pingxiang areas of Xingtai.

at the end of the Qin dynasty, many heroes arose. Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu made Chu Huaiwang's grandson Xin emperor, also known as Chu Huaiwang, with its capital in Xuyi. Zhang Er and Chen Yu made Zhao Xie king, made their capital in Xindu (Xingtai City) and built Zhao State.

in 218 BC, Zhang Han, a general of the Qin dynasty, led an army northward to attack Zhao and capture Handan. Zhao Jun, exhausted, retreated from Xindu to Julu, and was besieged by the departure of Qin General Wang. At that time, there were more than 311,111 people in Qin Jun who attacked Zhao in Hebei. At this time, there are not many troops in Julu City, and the food and grass will be exhausted. Although Zhao Jiang Chen Yu led tens of thousands of troops to the north of the giant deer, he did not dare to send troops and build a camp wall to protect himself. Other armies of Qi and Yan, which aided Zhao, were also shocked by the momentum of Chi, and they all built a base and stuck to it, afraid to go to war.

When the giant deer was besieged, Zhao asked Chu for help. Chu Huaiwang took Song Yi as the general, Xiang Yu as the second general, and led the army north to save Zhao. However, Song Yi was frightened by Qin Jun's arrogance, and stayed in Xiangyang (now Caoxian County, Shandong Province) for 46 days without daring to move forward. Xiang Yu killed Song Yi in anger, and Chu Huaiwang made Xiang Yu a general.

Xiang Yu advanced Ying Bu and General Pu to attack Qin with 21,111 troops. Then he led the main force to cross the river. In order to show his determination to fight to the death with Qin, he ordered the soldiers to sink the ship, smash the rice cooker and burn down the camp, with only three days' dry food.

Xiang Yu first surrounded Wang Li with thunder, and after nine round trips, he cut off the Qin Jun passage and achieved great results. Qin Jiang Su Jiao was killed, Wang Li was taken prisoner, and he committed suicide because of the news. In the battle, the Chu army "took one as ten" and "shouted loudly". The other armies that helped Zhao watched from the camp wall, too frightened to go to war. After that, Xiang Yu defeated Qin Jun again and again, and Zhang Han had to raise the flag, so Xiang Yu gained great prestige.

The Battle of Julu wiped out 311,111 people in Qin Jun. This played a decisive role in finally overthrowing the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Sima Qian, a great writer, described and edited this great battle in detail in Historical Records of Xiang Yu, which has become an immortal pen with a long history. "Burn one's bridges", "sit on the sidelines" and "take one as ten" have gradually become three popular idioms.

4. Catch a knife for others

Explanation: Catch a knife: write an article for others. Refers to others doing things, especially writing articles.

Source: Liu Yiqing's "Shi Shuo Xin Yu Rong Zhi" in the Southern Dynasties: "After that, the spy asked,' What about Wang Wei?' The Xiongnu envoy replied,' The King of Wei looks very elegant, but it is a hero to catch a knife at the bedside.' Wang Wei heard of it, and came after this envoy.

To catch a knife for another person is an idiom that is often used to describe a writer's ghost writing, and the story of this idiom is closely related to Cui Yan, an ancient person in Xingtai.

It originated from a story in the Three Kingdoms Period:

After Wei and Cao Cao unified the north, they gained great prestige, and various ethnic tribes attached themselves to it. The northern Xiongnu sent messengers to send a large number of rare treasures, and the messengers asked to meet Cao Cao. Cao Cao summoned Cui Ying, who has a high voice and a bright eye, and asked him to meet the emissary instead of himself. During the interview, Cui Yan sat in the middle and accepted the congratulations from the Xiongnu messenger, but Cao Cao was dressed as a bodyguard, holding a steel knife and standing beside the couch.

After the interview, Cao Cao sent a spy to ask the Hun emissary what his impression was. Without thinking, the messenger said, "Wang Wei is handsome, elegant demeanour is elegant, and the man who grabs the knife by the couch is dignified and very accessible. He is a real hero!"

Cui Yan, the word Ji Jue. Qinghe, Xingtai, originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, resigned because his contribution was not accepted. When Cao Cao captured Jizhou, among the civil servants obtained by Corporal Lixian, Cui Yan, with a strong posture and a loud voice, was a man who was not angry but powerful. Later, because of his opposition to Cao Cao, the king of Wei, he was thrown into prison and killed in prison.

Later generations praised him: "Cui Yan, the Qinghe River, has a strong nature; Campus tiger eye, heart of stone; Evil is easy to change, and the sound festival is obvious; Loyal to the Han Lord, it will be famous throughout the ages! "

5. Does Yangchun have feet? -Song Jing

Explanation: Used to praise wise officials.

When people are salty, they call Jing a spring with feet, and wherever they go, they are like spring and warm things." Later, he was praised as a wise official with "Yangchun has feet".

A scholar in a weak crown, an official has served as a party captain, a Fengge Sheren, an imperial censor, an assistant minister in the official department, an official minister, and an official minister in the criminal department.

He was appointed as the founding father of Guangping County, and served for 52 years by Wu, Zhongzong, Ruizong, Shang Di and Xuanzong. All his life, he made great efforts to revitalize the Tang Dynasty, and finally made concerted efforts with Yao Chong to transform a Tang Dynasty full of internal troubles and foreign invasion into a world-leading Tang Empire in politics, economy, culture and military affairs, which was called "the prosperous time of Kaiyuan" in history.

When he got to the place, he was honest and devoted to public service, and tried his best to do good things for the people, so that the local folk customs became simple and every household lived and worked in peace.

when he was the governor in Guangzhou, Guangdong people used bamboo to build houses, and fires often broke out. Song Jing taught them to build houses with bricks and tiles, which reduced fires and benefited the people. Later, he became prime minister. Once, when his distant uncle Song Yuanchao participated in the selection of the official department, he told the examiner about his special relationship with Song Jing, hoping to take care of him. After being learned by Song Jing, he specially took care that the official department could not do it for other officials.

At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty liked a eunuch named Wang Maozhong very much, and there were many people fawning on him in the imperial court. Wang Maozhong's goddaughter was getting married, and Tang Xuanzong asked him what he still lacked. Wang Maozhong said that a guest could not be invited. Tang Xuanzong said: That must be Song Jing. Under Song Jing's rule, the Tang Dynasty appeared a situation of not picking up the remains, which was called "the flourishing age of Kaiyuan" in history.

At that time, people praised Song Jing as a spring with feet. Wherever it went, it brought light and warmth.

Daosheng entered Huqiu Mountain in Suzhou today, and it is said that he once gathered stones as a disciple and talked about the Nirvana Sutra. When it comes to explaining the Buddha's nature, all the stones nodded (see Volumes 26 and 36 of the Buddha's Annals).
