The story of allusions 1 Life is picturesque. It can be vigorous without extravagant colors, but it can't lack the embellishment of good stories. Sitting in the sunset, recalling those kind stories, the ease of life is intoxicating.
Kindness does not need to be vigorous.
Another downpour. After the wind roared, the sky and the earth suddenly looked like a veil and gray. I don't know how long it took, but the true colors of that path were exposed to people. Since then, people passing by have nowhere to waste, and cars passing by are beyond recognition. There are always a group of people, wearing boots and holding shovels, sweating like rain on this road. Nobody knows who they are. Maybe they live nearby, but I clearly know that they are not cleaners or managers of this section. They are a group of kind people.
That was many years ago. At that time, the road was not as smooth and tidy as it is now, but what has remained unchanged for so many years is the kind hearts of those people.
Kindness, sometimes just a little effort.
It's autumn again, and the leaves on the tree have already been blown away by the wind. Busy day and night winds blow away the warmth and bring sand. Even those honest bicycles parked on the side of the road will not let go. On the road, looking around, only a father and son are left. They struggled in the strong wind. They passed by bicycles that had been paralyzed on the ground. Suddenly, they slowed down their hurried steps, turned around, lifted their tattered bicycles one by one, leaned against the wall, and left in a hurry.
I was lucky enough to see the panorama of their behavior. From them, I saw a kind light, even the bleak weather gave people a kind of warmth.
When kindness is cast in a person's character, no matter how small she is, she is noble. The story of kindness is integrated into her life, even if it is dull, it is full of warmth.
Days always pass through your fingertips like fine sand, and slip away inadvertently, but those stories related to kindness are still in your mind.
Sunset has blushed in the passage of time, hiding behind, leaving only those kind stories in front of us.
Story 2 There was a man named Xu in the Han Dynasty. His father had passed away, leaving two younger brothers, one named Xu Pu, who were still very young. Wu Xu often asked his two younger brothers to stand by and watch while he was plowing. In the evening, Wu Xu taught his two younger brothers to read. My brother didn't listen to the lesson, so he knelt in the temple and repented.
Later, Wu Xu promoted Lian Xiao, but because his two younger brothers were not famous, he divided the property into three parts, took away the most fertile fields and vast houses, and gave all the bad ones to his younger brother. So people in the society praised his two younger brothers, but looked down on Wu Xu.
When the two younger brothers are elected, he will join the clan and cry to explain why he wanted to make a name for his younger brother and give all his possessions to his two younger brothers.
Li Shimin, the second son of Tang Taizong (599-649), said that when Li Shimin was four years old, a scholar saw the sky and said, "With the appearance of dragons and phoenixes, the surface of the sky and the sun will be crowned, which will certainly help the world and people." After the scholar went, he adopted his language and became known to the people.
He reigned from 629 to 649. At the end of Sui Dynasty, he advised his father to oppose Sui Dynasty. When he was eighteen, he raised a righteous man. Great-grandfather won the world because of him. When Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, he was made king of Qin. The Emperor of Heaven and the King of Qi tried to murder him many times, but in the end they all failed. Dou Jiande, Liu Heita and other peasant insurgents have been suppressed, and the separatist forces such as Wang and others have been eliminated.
In the ninth year of Wude (626), he staged a coup in Xuanwumen, and he became a prince and continued to reign. During his reign, he implemented the system of land equalization, land equalization and the system of officers and men, and strengthened the assessment of local officials; He also revised the genealogy and developed the imperial examination system. He often takes "the death of the Sui Dynasty as a warning" and is good at benevolence and can remonstrate. At that time, the social and economic recovery was praised by the old officials as "the rule of Zhenguan".
In the fourth year of Zhenguan (630), he defeated East Turkistan and was honored as Tiankhan by Tiele and other nationalities. He also developed transportation in the western regions and promoted trade and cultural exchanges. In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Princess Wencheng gave Songzan Gambu, the king of Tubo, which promoted the economic and cultural development of Tubo and strengthened the close friendship between the two groups. Later, he fought for years, built palaces, increased taxes, and deepened class contradictions. Emperor Taizong was called a saint because of his merits and virtues. After Emperor Taizong succeeded to the throne, he took Wei Zhi as the Cambodian doctor and remonstrated more than 200 things before and after.
Wei Zhi dared to make faces and protest, not afraid of life and death, not afraid of losing his official position. He once suggested that "it is bright to listen to others, but it is dark to listen to others". Every time I advised Emperor Taizong to take the death of Sui as a mirror, I thought that the monarch was like a boat and the people were like water. "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." We must "be prepared for danger in times of peace, do nothing, pay less taxes and pay less taxes." Emperor Taizong also trusted and respected Wei Zhi very much. Emperor Taizong once loved a beautiful harrier and was playing with great interest. When he saw Kevin·Z coming, he immediately hid in his arms. Wei Zhi has been playing for a long time, and he will suffocate in the arms of Emperor Taizong.
One morning, the monk in the bamboo forest just came back from begging in the city, and suddenly he felt the house and the ground shaking, and then he heard someone exclaim that the Buddha was injured. Everyone ran to the Buddha's residence.
The Buddha was sitting in the room, and the wound was on his foot. Ananda was carefully dressing the wound, and there was a bloody wooden stick lying on the ground. As we all know, Buddha must have been injured by a wooden stick.
"The Buddha is indestructible. Why can a wooden stick hurt people?" A disciple asked.
The Buddha said, "This is karma. That was many years ago. At that time, I was a businessman. I crossed the sea with a friend and made a lot of money soon. On the way home, our ship docked at a port, which is a bustling city. My friend was so fascinated by the beautiful women there that he forgot to go home. A kind-hearted boatman told us that this place will be hit by a tsunami every year, and if we don't leave, the danger will come. My friend was infatuated with the city and turned a deaf ear to the boatman's warning. It's no use trying to persuade him. He has completely lost his mind. There is only one boat, and I can't leave him alone. One night, we quarreled about it. At the critical moment of life and death, I was so angry that I couldn't care less. I grabbed the stick around me and swung it at him. His foot was hurt by me. Now, it's not hard for you to know why I was injured, right? Buddha should be in this world. Like all sentient beings, there are old people, old people, sick people and dead people. Because there are consequences, Buddha must not violate the law of cause and effect. "

My father married his second wife, and she gave birth to two younger brothers in succession. People are selfish, because they are not biological, so stepmother treats children differently. Stepmothers are usually very bad to their children. In the severe winter, the stepmother dressed her two children in warm cotton-padded clothes, and even when they played outdoors, their faces were red. Poor Zi Qian was wrapped in a thin dress made of reed flowers. The weather is cold and the wind is biting. Zi Qian is often stiff and blue with cold.
One cold winter, Zi Qian's father was on a business trip and asked Zi Qian to drive. In the ice and snow, where can Zi Qian's clothes made of reeds resist the cold in winter? My hands are frozen stiff and my lips are purple with cold. A cold wind blew, and Zi Qian's trembling body couldn't catch the reins. When he missed, the driver's saddle fell off, causing a great shock to the carriage.
The father sitting in the back shook badly and was very angry. He thought, even the carriage is too big to drive well! You have to get out and yell. When I was about to scold, I suddenly found that my face was purple and I was shaking all over. Strangely, he stepped forward and pulled open Qian's skirt. Suddenly, his face changed greatly and his eyes were moist: it turned out that Zi Qian's "cotton coat" was full of reeds, but there was no shadow of cotton! Father flew into a rage, but he didn't expect his wife who shared the bed to be so vicious, and immediately decided to kick her out. Hearing this, Zi Qian sat down on the ground, hugged his father with tears and said, "When my mother was here, I was the only one who was cold. However, if the mother is away, the three children at home will be cold and hungry. "
Father was very moved and stopped driving his wife away. Seeing that Min Ziqian didn't hold a grudge at all, her stepmother regretted it and later took care of Min Ziqian as her own child.

Allusion 10 story: Zhu Bu dā o ré n
Explanation: "Knife catcher" originally refers to Cao Cao. In ancient times, knives were used as pens. After bamboo slips appeared, they were used to correct mistakes on bamboo slips, and later they were called "knife catchers". Zhang Hung-chien's Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio: "Lu Long made Zhao greedy and violent, and the people suffered." Fan Sheng was killed by a stick. When the students saw his grievances, they would complain to the Ministry of Education about a knife and a pen ... Zhao took over his big stick with a huge sum of money, and a group of students were arrested and chased after the man who grabbed the knife. "
Original: I met the Xiongnu envoy, thinking that he was in poor shape and not far from the country, so Cui Daizhi and the emperor seized the knife and made a bed. After that, the spy asked, "Where's Wang Wei?" The Xiongnu messenger replied: "Wang Wei is very elegant; But grabbing a knife by the bed is a hero. "Wei Wu heard about it and came to this special envoy.
Explanation: bed: refers to sitting on the couch; Knife catcher: refers to the waiter with a pen. In ancient times, there were special officials with knives and pens. Therefore, the "knife" here is a small tool used to correct typos in bamboo slips, similar to the role of pens. A metaphor for someone who writes a composition for others. Grasping a knife means holding a knife, holding a knife. ; Ugly shape: ugly image; Generation: replacement.
Usage: as object and attribute; Used in written language
Textual research: authoritative reference books in China, such as Modern Chinese Dictionary, all interpret the word "knife" as "killing knife", or it is vague. The fifth edition of Modern Chinese Dictionary explains this:
Cao Cao told Cui Yan to go to see the Xiongnu envoy instead of himself, but he stood by the bed with a knife. After the interview, he asked the Xiongnu emissary, "Where is Wang Wei?" Answer: "Wang Wei is very ambitious, but grasping a knife by the bed is a hero." (See "Shi Shuo Xin Yu Rong Zhi") Later, it was called catching a knife to write an article.
20xx 165438+ 10, a famous scholar, Mr. Song Chuanwei, published a paper "The Millennium Mistakes of Knife Catching Chivalrous Man" in Peking University Chinese Forum based on his years of textual research and reasoning, which questioned these authoritative explanations and found them inconsistent and unconvincing. In his paper, Mr. Song Chuanwei boldly denied the traditional explanation and thought that the so-called "killing knife" here should actually be a writing tool. It is believed that the purpose of "catching a knife" is not to kill people, but to be a "secretary" around the master, so that the authoritative reference books can explain "writing for others" logically. In this way, the analysis of "grasping" and "knife" in the words "grasping the knife", "grasping the knife to write ghosts" and "knife pen official" is solved.
Synonym: bedside knife catcher
Idiom story: During the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Cao, who was suspicious by nature, met with Xiongnu envoys, in order to show his mighty image, Cui, a beautiful man, pretended to be him, and he stood by the bed dressed as a warrior with a knife. After the meeting, he ordered the spy to ask the Huns' emissary about Wang Wei. Hun emissary said that the real hero is the man who catches the knife by the bed.

Self-sufficient and rough "Yi".
Less than "men" in distant countries.
Cui's Special Envoy (Jean)

The story of allusions 1 1 Wu Yidong is a famous calligrapher. His works have won prizes in some competitions in the whole province, and people often ask him for Mo Bao.
This morning, the phone at home rang and Wu Yidong picked up the receiver. The other party enthusiastically asked, "Are you Mr. Wu Yidong?"
Wu Yidong replied: "Yes, what do you want?"
"Oh, well, I'm Xiao Wang, the editor-in-chief of Contemporary China Calligraphy Elite Festival. We have heard a lot about you, and we invite you to enter the canon ... "
Wu Yidong rudely interrupted without waiting for the other party to finish: "I don't want to enter, I don't want to enter!"
Such a thing happens to Wu Yidong almost every day. Strangers often call and send letters, inviting him into this celebrity book, the master library. At first, Wu Yidong was quite interested. Feeling that your name and works have entered these dictionaries means that you have been recognized and even "immortal". Why not? So, he gave the works and money to the collectors, and nine times out of ten, the meat buns hit the dogs-never to come back. It is also annoying to receive a few books occasionally: rough printing, typos, and even an official book number. Wu Yidong understands that these people are cheating you out of money under the guise of asking you to enter the canon. I will never be cheated again and refuse such a thing.
Not discouraged at all, Xiao Wang continued to introduce: "Look, Mr. Wu, our ceremony ..."
Wu Yidong refused to let the other party finish, and flatly refused: "Stop talking, I won't enter if I can't say it!" Said. "Pa" to buckle the phone. Wu Yidong said in his heart, you just can't be soft-hearted against such a liar.
Wu Yidong is so happy. Less than half an hour later, the phone rang again. When I answered it, it was still Xiao Wang. Wu Yidong sent him two words and the phone was cut off. After a while, the phone rang again. Wu Yidong will pick up again, or Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang on the other end of the phone seems to be an indomitable person who will never give up until he reaches his goal, which makes Wu Yidong very angry. There is no way, Wu Yidong had to hide, saying that I can't afford to hide if I'm not to be taunted. The phone rang again and again, and Wu Yidong stood by and refused to answer the phone.
No sooner had the telephone stopped here than someone knocked at the door over there. Wu Yidong opened the door and saw that it was Mr. Chen across the hall. When Mr. Chen came in, he asked, "Why didn't you answer the phone? Your wife called my house. Are you all right? "
Wu Yidong explained a few words to Mr. Chen in distress situation and was busy calling his wife back. When Mr. Chen saw him put the phone down, he said, "You can't help hiding like this. You must find a way to deal with them. You can't always be passively beaten. "
Wu Yidong said with a wry smile, "If you can't hide, how can you deal with them?"
Lao Chen smiled and pointed to his forehead and said, "You, use your head!"
After Mr. Chen left, Wu Yidong felt that what Mr. Chen said was reasonable. He had to find a way to deal with them, otherwise he would be harassed by the phone all day. How can he make people feel at ease?
In the afternoon, Wu Yidong just got up from a nap when the phone rang again. He picked up the receiver and picked it up. It was still Xiao Wang. Wu Yidong said in his heart, I was afraid you wouldn't call, but I didn't expect to call so soon. Wu Yidong has long thought about the way to deal with it. He sat comfortably on the sofa and slowly talked to Xiao Wang while drinking tea: "Comrade Xiao Wang, I really can't help you. Tell me about your gift, be specific. "
As soon as Xiao Wang opened the door, he enthusiastically introduced, "Mr. Wu, this ceremony has been held since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The calligrapher's dictionary with the highest domestic specification, level and authority ... "
Wu Yidong picked up the receiver and picked it up.
"Xiao Wang, can you introduce the editor-in-chief, editor, publishing house, etc. Edit this grand ceremony in more detail? I have been cheated before, but now I can't do it if I am not careful. " Wu Yidong took a sip of tea and said to Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang may say that he is tired, and he can hear a hesitant voice in the receiver: "Well, listen to me and tell you slowly."
After Wu Yidong and Wang asked this question, they asked, "What about the question after that?"
Xiao Wang took the trouble to introduce it, like a few treasures.
Wu Yidong's hand holding the microphone is numb. After changing hands, he asked slowly, "hey, what's the weather like in your place these days?" Is it raining? "
Hearing this, Xiao Wang became alert: "You, why do you ask this? What does this have to do with the ceremony? "
Wu Yidong smiled and said, "Didn't you pull me into the canon just to make money?" If I don't join, you will force me to join. I had a long talk with you today, asking you to pay more phone bills. Remember, this is a long distance call, and it costs three cents per minute. From the beginning to now, the call time has reached two hours and 47 minutes. Calculate how much telephone bill you have to pay. "
Xiao Wang was dumbfounded: "You, you lie and fool people!" "
Wu Yidong smiled: "Deception? I learned it from you! "
Say that finish, Wu Yidong 1 of "pa" hung up the phone.
The story of allusions 12 1943 One day, in a small mountain village in Laiyuan, Hebei Province, the devils were cleaned, and the Eighth Route Army and cadres organized villagers to move. The second primary school moved to the long lane with the villagers.
Wu Lianchang took the infantry to the other side of the mountain and said that he would form a circle and wait for the devils to drill.
Here comes the devil.
Wang Erxiao saw that the devils were moving in the sparsely populated direction of the city, and he was so anxious that he hummed the song of carrying cattle and left.
The devil saw the second primary school on the hillside and asked it to lead them.
The second boy took the strong cow and the devil away.
Erxiao led the devil in circles in the mountains, and the cunning devil became suspicious. The head of the devil was inserted into the combat knife to intimidate the second primary school. Second, he is very calm in vigilance, but he pretends to be afraid. He told the devil that there was a road and he could find the eighth road through it. The devil said, "You are lying. You want to cheat the imperial army. " Two novels: "Forget it, I don't want to go anyway." The devil trusted Erxiao and left with him.
When they arrived at the hidden ravine of the Eighth Route Army, the Second Primary School ran back to the mountain warily from the ravine. Wu Lianchang called the second boy to run slowly, while shooting and killing the devil aiming at the second boy. However, the Japanese squad leader caught up with Erxiao with a big gun, plunged the bayonet into Erxiao's figure and picked Erxiao on the hillside.
The second primary school rises like a leaf, and all the leaves on the mountain fall together. Every leaf and every green grass is dyed red with blood.
The Eighth Route Army attacked and wiped out the devils. As if to repay a debt of gratitude, the big bull killed the devil squad with a sharp horn.
The villagers put the second child on a stretcher. Wu Lianchang called the second primary school, the villagers called the second primary school, but the second primary school closed its eyes slightly. He'll never hear it again.
The sun seems to be dyed red, and there are white leaves floating on the Qian Shan. The scenery is beautiful.
The story of allusions 13 Zen theory of a flower
Disciples like to dress up and spend too much time on it every day.
One day, the Zen master asked his disciples, "How big is a flower?"
"Some are as big as fingers, some are as big as fists, some are as big as palms, and there are washbasins on them." Disciple said.
"How big is the fragrance of flowers?" The Zen master asked again.
"How big is the fragrance of flowers?" Disciples are puzzled.
"Oh, I mean, how much space can the flowers spread out?" The Zen master said.
"Some can occupy the whole room, some can occupy a square, and if there is wind, some flowers can spread for miles." Disciple said.
"How many washbasins are there in miles?" The Zen master said: "If the fragrance of flowers is compared to the soul of flowers, then the fragrance of a living soul will always spread longer and have a deeper influence than its beautiful body."
Snake Zen
In the cold winter, Zen master and his disciples saw a frozen snake on the roadside. The Zen master tried to come forward to save it, but his disciples stopped him: "Master, have you forgotten the story of the farmer and the snake?"
"Of course not." The Zen master said.
"Then why did you save it?" The disciple asked.
"To save it, do you have to hold the snake in your arms like a farmer?" When the Zen master finished, he found some firewood and lit a fire next to the frozen snake. Under the warmth of the fire, the snake slowly woke up.
"The means of doing good will never be single, but varied." The Zen master said: "In the face of evil people, what we have to do is not to give up doing good because we are afraid of bad news, but to choose the means of doing good wisely so that our good will not be rewarded."
Zen's theory of light
When the Zen master talked about the topic of "showing off", the disciple asked, showing off is just showing off yourself and not hurting others. What's wrong with showing off?
The Zen master asked, why can't we see the stars during the day?
Because the sun is too strong during the day, too strong sunlight covers the faint starlight, so no stars can be seen during the day. Disciple said.
The Zen master said that in our imagination, the stronger the light, the clearer and clearer we can see. Who knows, too strong light can sometimes blind our eyes more than darkness.
At this point, the Zen master returned to the topic of "showing off". The Zen master said that showing off is dazzling, covering others' light is to show off oneself, and deceiving others is to show off oneself. Isn't this harming others and yourself?
Shadow theory of Zen Buddhism
The Zen master had two disciples, but for a while, the two disciples were at odds and separated from each other, with a shadow in the middle.
One day, in front of two disciples, the Zen master burned a shadow, splashed it with water, buried it with soil, and found a fan to blow at the shadow.
After that, the Zen master asked two disciples: Was the shadow destroyed by fire, submerged by water, buried by soil, or blown away by the wind?
No. The two disciples answered in unison.
At this time, the Zen master took out his flashlight and shone at the shadow. Suddenly, the shadow disappeared.
"The same is true of the shadow between people. The best way to eliminate the shadow is not violence, not attack, not revenge, but to contain it and illuminate it with inner light, so as to truly eliminate the shadow between each other. " The Zen master said.
Zen mind theory
The Zen master has many disciples, but one of them is greedy. One day, the disciple tried to ask the Zen master, "Does the heart have boundaries?"
"Of course." The Zen master said.
"Then why do you often tell us that a person's heart can hold the whole universe? Isn't the universe borderless? " The disciple asked.
"The universe also has boundaries. If the universe expands infinitely and breaks through a certain boundary, it will explode and destroy itself. " The Zen master said: "The same is true of people's hearts. When greed and desire expand infinitely and break through boundaries and bottom lines, they will also destroy themselves! "
Disciple broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
Story 14 There was an old cat and a little pig who learned to take a mud bath. It goes to the pond to roll mud every day, and then washes it with water, alas! Clean the brush and get rid of lice!
One day, it rolled in the mud again, tired of playing, and fell asleep in the grass. A group of mice passed by, found a big mud cat, and transported it back to the cave to blow on it. Pull your tail, pull your beard and kick your ass. Everyone was tired and hungry until they went out to find food, leaving only a little mouse to watch the door.
The old cat swallowed her anger and whispered, "Little mouse, hook up, let's be good friends!" " "
The little mouse was startled. Hearing the mud cat talking, he put his hand behind his back and said, "Hum! Big mud cat, don't be shy! How can a mouse make friends with you? "
"The little mouse tired not tired? Let's knock on the back together. "
The mouse curled its mouth and said, "Hum! Don't play games, big cat. The mouse king will go out and buy a knife and cut off your head! "
"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha, I'm not afraid of beheading!"
The little mouse froze, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't laugh, big mud cat, I'll burn you!" " "
"I am happier with fire, and the mud cat is getting more and more embarrassed!"
The little mouse is angry, bring a basin of dirty water!
"The mud cat turned into a pile of mud when it saw water." The old cat pretended to be afraid and began to cry.
Hey! Hearing this, the little mouse was very excited! "Wow," a big basin of dirty water was thrown up. The mud cat became a big live cat with a splash and a meow. It jumped up, caught the little mouse on the spot and swallowed it in one gulp.
"I don't blame the mouse for being stupid, but my old cat is too smart!" It swaggered out of the cave while singing.
The story of allusions 15 Two generations of love opened a new dye house in the town to dye cloth for nearby villagers. Once, there was a new little judge in the town. He lived in a rich man's house. The rich feel very honored and show off everywhere. He boasted to the two generations: "This new judge is one of the few smart judges in the world. He is knowledgeable and his head is full of wisdom. " "It's possible," Avanti said. "Because now a judge only looks at who gives more money and doesn't need wisdom, so wisdom is stored in his mind." Hearing this, the rich man snorted angrily and went back to tell the judge. The judge was very angry. He wanted to get revenge on the two generations.
On this day, the judge took a piece of cloth from the rich man's house, went to the dyehouse of two generations of love, and said in an arrogant tone: Two generations of love, dye this cloth for me, and let me see how good you are! "What color do you want to dye, judge first.
Healthy? "I want to dye ordinary colors. It is not red, blue, black, white, green, purple, yellow or gray. You got it? Two generations of feelings as a dyer! " The judge is up to no good. He said:' I heard that your wisdom not only exists in your mind, but also can be used. Can you dye it? The rich man who followed the judge was also very arrogant. He said: Afandi: If you can't dye the color the judge wants, the judge won't forgive you easily! Two generations knew that they were deliberately making trouble, but he took the cloth without care and said, "What's the difficulty?"? I will dye it according to the judge's instructions.
