It was a paradise isolated from the outside world, without exploitation or oppression, and everybody living and working in peace and contentment. The fisherman left the villagers and went home.

The onlookers felt that this was odd, and asked why he hadn't painted the eyes. He answered, 'Eyes are crucial for dragons. With the eyes painted on, the dragons would fly away.'

He learns from his parents and listens to what they day. To lie to him is to teach him to lie to others. If a mother lies to her son, he will not trust her anymore.

A tiger caught a fox in a forest, and was just about to eat it, when the fox said, 'You mustn't eat me. I was sent by Heaven to rule the animals. By eating me, you will violate the command of Heaven.

1.疑邻盗斧
从前有个乡下人，丢了一把斧子。他以为是邻居家的儿子偷去了，于是处处注意那人的一言一行，一举一动，越看越觉得那人像是盗斧的贼。后来，丢斧子的人找到了斧子，原来是前几天他上山砍柴时，一时疏忽失落在山谷里。找到斧子后，他又碰见了邻居的儿子，再留心看看他，怎么也不像贼了。
疑邻盗斧：不注重事实根据，对人、对事胡乱猜疑。
2.揠苗助长
春秋时期，宋国有一个农夫，他总是嫌田里的庄稼长得太慢，今天去瞧瞧，明天去看看，觉得禾苗好像总没有长高。他心想：有什么办法能使它们长得高些快些呢？
有一天，他来到田里，把禾苗一棵一棵地往上拔。一大片禾苗，一棵一棵地拔真费了不少的力气，等他拔完了禾苗，已经累得筋疲力尽了，可是他心里却很高兴。回到家里还夸口说：“今天可把我累坏了，我帮助禾苗长高了好几寸！”他儿子听了，赶忙跑到田里去看，发现田里的禾苗全都已经枯死了
3.不可救药
周朝有位卿士叫凡伯。凡伯不但有诗才，而且善于治理国事。后来，他在周厉王身边辅佐朝政。可是，周厉王飞横跋扈，枉法断事。奸臣则百般诌媚讨好。凡伯直言相劝，列数朝政弊端，奸臣却在周厉王耳边说他的坏话。周厉王对凡伯十分厌烦，从此，奸臣出入宫廷，不把凡伯放在眼里。凡伯十分愤慨，写了一首诗，后来收入《诗经》。诗中抨击奸臣说：“作恶多端，不可救药！”
“不可救药”：病重到不能用药救活。后比喻事物坏到无法挽救的地步。
4.乘风破浪
古代南北朝的时候，宋国有位将军姓宗名悫，他从小就很勇敢，也很有抱负。有一天，宗悫的叔父问他有什么志向，宗悫回答道：“愿乘长风，破万里浪。”意思是：我一定要突破一切障碍，勇往直前，干一番事业。宗悫经过勤学苦练，努力奋斗，终于成为一位能征善战的将军。
后来，人们就用“乘风破浪”来形容不怕困难，奋勇前进的精神
5.一衣带水
南北朝的时候，北方的北周和南方的陈国以长江为界。
北周的宰相杨坚，废了周静帝，自己当皇帝，建立了隋朝。

后来人们就用“一衣带水”来比喻只隔了一条狭窄水域的，靠得非常近的两地。
6.高山流水
春秋时代，有个叫俞伯牙的人，精通音律，琴艺高超，是当时著名的琴师。俞伯牙年轻的时候聪颖好学，曾拜高人为师，琴技达到水平，但他总觉得自己还不能出神入化地表现对各种事物的感受。伯牙的老师知道他的想法后，就带他乘船到东海的蓬莱岛上，让他欣赏大自然的景色，倾听大海的波涛声。伯牙举目眺望，只见波浪汹涌，浪花激溅；海鸟翻飞，鸣声入耳；山林树木，郁郁葱葱，如入仙境一般。一种奇妙的感觉油然而生，耳边仿佛咯起了大自然那和谐动听的音乐。他情不自禁地取琴弹奏，音随意转，把大自然的美妙融进了琴声，伯牙体验到一种前所未有的境界。老师告诉他：“你已经学了。”
一夜伯牙乘船游览。面对清风明月，他思绪万千，于是又弹起琴来，琴声悠扬，渐入佳境。忽听岸上有人叫绝。伯牙闻声走出船来，只见一个樵夫站在岸边，他知道此人是知音当即请樵夫上船，兴致勃勃地为他演奏。伯牙弹起赞美高山的曲调，樵夫说道：“真好！雄伟而庄重，好像高耸入云的泰山一样！”当他弹奏表现奔腾澎湃的波涛时，樵夫又说：“真好！宽广浩荡，好像看见滚滚的流水，无边的大海一般！”伯牙兴奋色了，激动地说：“知音！你真是我的知音。”这个樵夫就是钟子期。从此二人成了非常要好的朋友。
故事出自《列子·汤问》。成语“高山流水”，比喻知己或知音，也比喻音乐优美。
7.一字之师
指改正文章中一个非常关键的字的老师。
该语出自宋代陶岳《五代史补》。
唐朝时期，是我国封建社会发展中一个非常繁荣的时期，文学艺术也很发达，其中以诗最具有代表性。当时，不仅诗人多，创作的诗多，而且在艺术上、内容水平上都很高。
在当时众多的诗人中，有一个诗人叫齐已，某年冬天，他在大雪后的原野上，看到傲雪开放的梅花，诗兴大发，创作了一首《早梅》诗，咏诵在冬天里早开的梅花。诗中有两句这样写道：前村深雪里，昨夜数枝开。写好后，他觉得非常满意。
有一个叫郑谷的人，看到齐已写的这首诗后，认为这首诗的意味未尽。于是，他经过反复思考推敲，将这两句诗改为：前村深雪里，昨夜一枝开。因为他认为既然数枝梅花都开了，就不能算是早梅了。
郑谷的这一改动，虽然只将数字改为一字，只有一字之改，但却使《早梅》更贴切题意了，诗的意境也更完美了。齐已对郑谷的这一改动非常佩服，当时即称郑谷为自己的一字师。
8.专心致志
从前有一个下棋能手名叫秋，他的棋艺非常高超。
秋有两个学生，一起跟他学习下棋，其中一个学生非常专心集中精力跟老师学习。另一个却不这样，他认为学下棋很容易，用不着认真。老师讲解的时候，他虽然坐在那里，眼睛也好像在看着棋子可心里却想着：“要是现在到野外射下一只鸿雁，美餐一顿该多好。”因为他总是胡思乱想心不在焉，老师的讲解一点也没听进去。
结果，虽然两个学生同是一个名师传授，但是，一个进步很快，成了棋艺高强的名手，另一个却没学到一点本事。
9.按图索骥
孙阳有个儿子，看了父亲写的《相马经》，以为相马很容易，就拿着这本书到处找好马。他按照书上所绘的图形去找，一无所获。又按书中所写的特征去找，最后发现有一只癞蛤蟆很像书中写的千里马的特征，便高兴地把癞蛤蟆带回家，对父亲说：“爸爸，我找到一匹千里马，只是蹄子稍差些。”父亲一看，哭笑不得，没想到儿子竟如此愚笨，便幽默地说：“可惜这马太喜欢跳了，不能用来拉车。”接着感叹道：“所谓按图索骥也。”
10.南柯一梦
成语释疑： 形容一场大梦，或比喻一场空欢喜。
成语出处： 唐·李公佐《南柯太守传》
成语故事： 淳于棼是唐朝人。有一次，因为他喝醉酒，忍不住在庭院的槐树下休息起来，没想到他因此就睡着了。在梦里，他看到槐安国的国王派人接他到槐安国去，随后把自己心爱的公主嫁给了他，并且派他担任南柯郡的太守。
在这段时间里，淳于棼把南柯治理得很好，国王也很欣赏他。他五个儿子都有爵位，两个女儿也嫁给王侯，所以，他在槐安国的地位非常高。
后来，檀萝国攻打南柯郡，淳于棼的军队输了，接着他的妻子也因重病死了。这一切的不幸，让淳于棼不想在南柯郡继续住下去，就回到京城。可是，在京城里，有人在国王面前说淳于棼的坏话，国王没有查证，就把他的孩子抓起来，还把他送回原来的家乡。一离开槐安国，淳于棼就醒了，才知道原来这是一场梦。
不久，淳于棼发现庭院里的槐树下有一个蚂蚁洞，洞里有泥土推成的宫殿汉城池等等，他才恍然大悟，梦中所见到的槐安国，应该就是这个蚂蚁洞。而槐树的最高的树枝，可能就是他当太守的南柯郡。
淳于棼想起梦里南柯的一切，觉得人世非常无常，所谓的富贵功名实在很容易就消失，于是，他最后就归隐道门了。
11.班门弄斧
鲁班是战国时代的鲁国人。他是一个善于制作精巧器具的能手，人们叫他“巧人”，民间历来把他奉为木匠的始祖。谁敢在鲁班门前卖弄使用斧子的技术，也就是说，想在大行家面前显示自己的本领，这种太不谦虚的可笑行为，就叫做“鲁班门前弄大斧”，简称“班门弄斧”。这和俗语所说的“关公面前耍大刀”的意思差不多。
其实，“班门弄斧”这句成语早在唐朝就有它的雏形了。文学家柳宗元在一篇序文中就有这样一句：“操斧于班郢之门，斯颜耳！”意思是说，在鲁班和郢人（也是一个操斧能手）的门前表现用斧子的本事，脸皮也太厚了。
这句成语有时也用作自谦之词，表示自己不敢在行家面前卖弄自己的小本领。
12.杯弓蛇影
有一天，乐广请他的朋友在家里大厅中喝酒。那个朋友在喝酒的时候，突然看见自己的酒杯里，有一条小蛇的影子在晃动，他心里很厌恶，可还是把酒喝了下去。喝了之后，心里到底不自在，放心不下。回到家中就生起病来。
隔了几天，乐广听到那个朋友生病的消息，了解了他得病的原因。乐广心里想：“酒杯里绝对不会有蛇的！”于是，他就跑到那天喝酒的地方去察看。原来，在大厅墙上，挂有一把漆了彩色的弓。那把弓的影子，恰巧映落在那朋友放过酒杯的地方，乐广就跑到那个朋友那里去，把这事解释给他听。这人明白了原因以后，病就立刻好了。
后来人们就用“杯弓蛇影”比喻疑神疑鬼，自相惊扰。
13.伯乐相马
传说天上管理马匹的神仙叫伯乐。在人间，人们把精于鉴别马匹优劣的人也称为伯乐。
第一个被称作伯乐的人本名孙阳，他是春秋时代的人。由于他对马的研究非常出色，人们便忘记了他本来的名字，干脆称他为伯乐，一直到现在。
一次，伯乐受楚王的委托，购买能日行千里的骏马。伯乐向楚王说明，千里马少有，找起来不容易，需要到各地巡访，请楚王不必着急，他尽力将事情办好。
伯乐跑了好几个国家，仔细寻访盛产名马的燕赵一带，辛苦倍至，但还是没发现中意的良马。一天，伯乐从齐国返回，在路上，看到一匹马拉着盐车，很吃力地在陡坡上行进。马累得呼呼喘气，每迈一步都十分艰难。伯乐对马向来亲近，不由走到跟前。马见伯乐走近，突然昂起头来瞪大眼睛，大声嘶鸣，好像要对伯乐倾诉什么。伯乐立刻从声音中判断出，这是一匹难得的骏马。
14.不可多得
东汉末年，有个名士祢衡，才华出众。当时，太中大夫孔融对他特别赏识，把他推荐给汉献帝。他写道：“帝室皇居，必蓄非常之宝。若衡等辈，不可多得。”
汉献帝不敢作主，把孔融的荐表交给曹操。曹操爱才，就召见祢衡。哪知祢衡蔑视曹操，对他很不礼貌。曹操就派祢衡当鼓吏，在大宴宾客时，命他击鼓助兴。谁知祢衡一边击鼓，一边大骂曹操，使曹操十分难堪。曹操派祢衡去荆州劝降刘表，想借刘表之手杀他。想不到刘表把祢衡当作上宾，每次议事或发布文告，都得由祢衡表态。后来祢衡又对刘表不恭。刘表就派他到部将黄祖那里当书记。祢衡恃才傲慢，非常狂妄，后来，终于被黄祖所杀。
成语“不可多得”由此而来，形容非常稀少、非常难得。多用于赞扬有才能的人
15.不可救药
周朝有位卿士叫凡伯。凡伯不但有诗才，而且善于治理国事。后来，他在周厉王身边辅佐朝政。可是，周厉王飞横跋扈，枉法断事。奸臣则百般诌媚讨好。凡伯直言相劝，列数朝政弊端，奸臣却在周厉王耳边说他的坏话。周厉王对凡伯十分厌烦，从此，奸臣出入宫廷，不把凡伯放在眼里。凡伯十分愤慨，写了一首诗，后来收入《诗经》。诗中抨击奸臣说：“作恶多端，不可救药！”
“不可救药”：病重到不能用药救活。后比喻事物坏到无法挽救的地步。
16.不学无术
汉武帝在位的时候，大将军霍光是朝廷举足轻重的大臣，深得武帝信任。武帝监死前，把幼子刘弗陵（昭帝）托付给霍光辅佐。昭帝去世后，霍光立刘询做皇帝（宣帝）。霍光掌握朝政大权四十多年，为西汉王朝立下了不小的功勋。
刘询继承皇位以后，立许妃做皇后。霍光的妻子霍显是个贪图富贵的女人，她想把自己的小女儿成君嫁给刘询做皇后，就乘许娘娘有病的机会，买通女医下毒害死了许后。毒计败露，女医下狱。此事霍光事先一点也不知道，等事情出来了，霍显才告诉他。霍光非常惊惧，指责妻子不该办这种事情。他也想去告发，但又不忍心妻子被治罪，前思后想，还是把这件伤天害理的事情隐瞒下来了。霍光死后，有人向宣帝告发此案，宣帝派人去调查处理。霍光的妻子听说了，与家人、亲信商量对策，决定召集族人策划谋反，不想走漏了风声，宣帝派兵将霍家包围，满门抄斩。
东汉史学家班固在《汉书霍光传》中评论霍光的功过，说他“不学无术，暗于大理”，意思是霍光不读书，没学识，因而不明关乎大局的道理。成语“不学无术”，指没有学问，没有本领
17.才高八斗
南朝谢灵运，是一位写了大量山水诗的文学家。他聪明好学，读过许多书，从小受到祖父谢玄的厚爱。
他出身于东晋大士族，因他袭封康乐公的爵位，世人称他“谢康乐”。他身为公侯，却并无实权，被派往永嘉任太守。谢灵运自叹怀才不遇，常常丢下公务不管，却去游山玩水。后来，他辞官移居会稽，常常与友人酗酒作乐。当地太守派人劝他节制一些，却被他怒斥了一顿。可是，谢灵运写的山水诗，却深受人们的喜爱。他每写出一首新诗，立刻就会被人争相抄录，很快流传开去。
宋文帝接位后，将他召回京城做官，把他的诗作和书法赞为“两宝”。谢灵运更加骄傲了，他说：“天下才有一石，曹子建独占八斗，我得一斗，天下共分一斗。”
成语“才高八斗”由此而来，形容人的文才极高。
18.草木皆兵
东晋时代，秦王苻坚控制了北部中国。公元383年，苻坚率领步兵、骑兵90万，攻打江南的晋朝。晋军大将谢石、谢玄领兵8万前去抵抗。苻坚得知晋军兵力不足，就想以多胜少，抓住机会，迅速出击。
谁料，苻坚的先锋部队25万在寿春一带被晋军出奇击败，损失惨重，大将被杀，士兵死伤万余。秦军的锐气大挫，军心动摇，士兵惊恐万状，纷纷逃跑。此时，苻坚在寿春城上望见晋军队伍严整，士气高昂，再北望八公山，只见山上一草一木都像晋军的士兵一样。苻坚回过头对弟弟说：“这是多么强大的敌人啊！怎么能说晋军兵力不足呢？”他后悔自己过于轻敌了。
出师不利给苻坚心头蒙上了不祥的阴影，他令部队靠淝水北岸布阵，企图凭借地理优势扭转战局。这时晋军将领谢玄提出要求，要秦军稍往后退，让出一点地方，以便渡河作战。苻坚暗笑晋军将领不懂作战常识，想利用晋军忙于渡河难于作战之机，给它来个突然袭击，于是欣然接受了晋军的请求。
谁知，后退的军令一下，秦军如潮水一般溃不成军，而晋军则趁势渡河追击，把秦军杀得丢盔弃甲，尸横遍地。苻坚中箭而逃。
故事出自《晋书;苻坚载记》。成语“草木皆兵”，形容神经过敏、疑神疑鬼的惊恐心理。
19.乘风破浪
古代南北朝的时候，宋国有位将军姓宗名悫，他从小就很勇敢，也很有抱负。有一天，宗悫的叔父问他有什么志向，宗悫回答道：“愿乘长风，破万里浪。”意思是：我一定要突破一切障碍，勇往直前，干一番事业。宗悫经过勤学苦练，努力奋斗，终于成为一位能征善战的将军。

20.大材小用
南宋末，金国不断南侵。辛弃疾参加了抗金义军。后来，他在南宋朝廷里，历任湖北、江西、湖南、建安抚使。
他不仅是个爱国英雄，还写了很多充满战斗激情的词文。由于主和派的打击，他在上饶带湖旁，度过18年退隐生活。1203年，朝廷任命他为浙东安抚使兼绍兴知府。他常与住在绍兴鉴湖旁的爱国诗人陆游议论国家大事。第二年春，宋宁宗要他去京城，征询他对北伐金国的意见。临行前，陆游送他一首长诗《送辛幼安殿撰造朝》。诗中说：辛弃疾是管仲、萧何一流人物，做浙东安抚使大材小用了。
辛弃疾到了京城，皇帝只安排他做镇江府知府。不久，这位爱国英雄在忧愤中病逝。
后来，人们以“大材小用”作成语，比喻才能高，职位低，不能充分发挥作用。
21.大公无私
春秋时，有一天，晋平公问祁黄羊：“南阳县官缺额，你看派谁去最合适？”祁黄羊想了想，说：“派解狐去最合适！”晋平公觉得很奇怪：“解狐不是你的仇人吗，你为什么要推荐他？”祁黄羊答道：“你只问我什么人最适合这个职位，并没有问我解狐是不是我的仇人呀！”
晋平公采纳了祁黄羊的意见，派解狐到南阳县去上任。果然，解狐很有作为，为当地百姓办了不少好事，受到人们的称颂。
有一天，晋平公又问祁黄羊：“现在朝廷里缺少一位法官，你看谁能胜任？”祁黄羊回答：“祁午最能胜任！”晋平公说：“祁午是你的儿子，你推荐自己的儿子，不怕人家讲你吗？”祁黄羊说：“你只问我谁可胜任法官，并没有问我祁午是不是我的儿子呀！”
祁午当了法官后，非常称职，深受人民的爱戴。
孔子十分称赞祁黄羊，说他是个公正严明的人，称得上是“大公无私”。
成语“大公无私”形容一心为公，没有私心。也指处理事情公正，不偏向任何一方。
22.大义灭亲
春秋时期，卫国的州吁杀死哥哥卫桓公，自立为国君。
州吁驱使百姓去打仗，激起人民不满。他担心自己的王位不稳定，就与心腹臣石厚商量办法。
石厚就去问的父亲——卫国的大臣石碏（que），怎样巩固州吁的统治地位。石碏对儿子说：“诸侯即位，应得到周天子的许可，他的地位就能巩固。”石厚说：“州吁是杀死哥哥谋位的，要是周天子不许可，怎么办？”石碏说：“陈桓公很受周天子的信任，陈卫又是友好邻邦。”石厚没等父亲把话说完，抢着说：“你是说去请陈桓公帮忙？”石碏连连点头。
州吁和石厚备了许多礼物，却被陈桓公扣留了。原来，这是石碏的安排。
卫国派人去陈国，把州吁处死。卫国的大臣们为石厚是石碏的儿子，应该从宽。石碏就派自己的家臣到陈国去，把石厚杀了。史官认为石碏杀了儿子是“大义灭亲”。
成语“大义灭亲”现在指为了维护国家和人民利益，对犯罪的亲属不徇私情。
23.东施效颦
古时候，越国有两个女子，一个长得很美，叫西施，一个长得很丑，叫东施。东施很羡慕西施的美丽，就时时模仿西施的一举一动。有一天，西施犯了心口疼的病，走在大街上，用手捂住胸口，双眉紧皱。东施一见，以为西施这样就是美，于是也学着她的样子在大街上走来走去，可是街上行人见了她的这个样子，吓得东躲西藏，不敢去看她。后来人们就用“东施效颦”来比喻不知道人家的好处和本身的缺点在哪里，胡乱模仿。其中的“效”是“仿效”，“颦”是“皱眉”的意思。
24.飞鸟惊蛇
释亚楼是唐代一位和尚。他久居寺庙，烧香念经。别的和尚空闲时就偷偷下棋睡觉，释亚楼却买了砚墨笔纸练习书法。有时深更半夜，他还在苦苦练习。一年年过去，他写字的功夫越来越深。许多烧香拜佛的人，也来请他写字。他都一一答应。 他的草书，写得尤其飘逸奔放。有人问他：“草书怎样算好？”释亚楼写了八个字：“飞鸟出林，惊蛇入草！”
“飞鸟惊蛇”形容字体飘逸像小鸟飞翔，笔势遒劲连蛇也受惊吓。
25.邯郸学步
相传在两千年前，燕国寿陵地方有一位少年，不愁吃不愁穿，论长相也算得上中等人材，可他就是缺乏自信心，经常无缘无故地感到事事不如人，低人一等——衣服是人家的好，饭菜是人家的香，站相坐相也是人家高雅。他见什么学什么，学一样丢一样，虽然花样翻新，却始终不能做好一件事，不知道自己该是什么模样。
家里的人劝他改一改这个毛病，他认为是家里人管得太多。亲戚、邻居们说他是狗熊掰棒子，他也根本听不进去。日久天长，他竟怀疑自己该不该这样走路，越看越觉得自己走路的姿势太笨、太丑了。
有一天，他在路上碰到几个人说说笑笑，只听得有人说邯郸人走路姿势很美。他一听，急忙走上前去，想打听个明白。不料想，那几个人看见他，一阵大笑之后扬长而去。
邯郸人走路的姿势究竟怎样美呢？他怎么也想象不出来，这成了他的心病。终于有一天，他瞒着家人，跑到遥远的邯郸学走路去了。
一到邯郸，他感到处处新鲜，简直令人眼花缭乱。看到小孩走路，他觉得活泼、美，学；看见老人走路，他觉得稳重，学；看到妇女走路，摇摆多姿，学。就这样，不过半月光景，他连走路也不会了，路费也花光了，只好爬着回去了。
故事出自《庄子秋水》。成语“邯郸学步”，比喻生搬硬套，机械地模仿别人，不但学不到别人的长处，反而会把自己的优点和本领也丢掉。
26.好好先生
东汉时期，有个名叫司马徽的人，很善于识别人才。但由于当时政治斗争十分尖锐复杂，他就装糊涂，别人无论和他讲什么事，不管是好是坏，他都回答“好”。
有一天，他在路上碰到一位熟人。那人问他身体怎样，一向安好吗？他回答：“好”。
又有一天，有个老朋友到他家里来，十分伤心地谈起自己的儿子死了。谁知司马徽也回答：“好！”那个朋友走后，司马徽的妻子就责备他说：“人家以为你是讲道德的人，所以相信你，把心里话讲给你听。可是你听人家儿子死了，反而说好，这算什么？”司马徽不紧不慢地说：“好！你的话太好了！”他的妻子又好气又好恼，哭笑不得。
后来人们常用“好好先生”来形容那些是非不分，不敢得罪人，只求平安无事的人。
27.后来居上
汲黯是西汉武帝时代人，以刚直正义、敢讲真话而受人尊重。他为人和做官都不拘小节，讲求实效。虽然表面上不那么轰轰烈烈，却能把一个郡治理得井井有条，因此，朝廷把他从东海太守调到朝廷当主爵都尉——一种主管地方吏任免的官职。 有一次，汉武帝说要实行儒家的仁义之政，为老百姓办好事。没等皇帝把话说完，汲黯就说：“陛下内心里那么贪婪多欲，表面上却要装得实行仁政，这是何苦呢？”一句话把皇帝噎了回去。汉武帝登时脸色大变，宣布罢朝，满朝文武都为汲黯捏着一把汗，担心他会因此招来大祸。武帝回到宫里以后，对身边的人说，汲黯这个人也未免太粗太直了。 从此以后，汲黯的官职再也没有提升。他当主爵都尉的时候，公孙弘、张汤都还是不起眼的小官，后来，他们一个劲儿住上升，公孙弘当上了丞相，张汤做上了御史大夫，可他汲黯还蹲在原地没动窝。有一天，汲黯对武帝说，陛下使用群臣，跟码劈柴一样，是“后来者居上”啊！汉武帝当然听得出这是发牢骚。于是，转脸对臣下们说：“人真是不能不学习啊！你们听汲黯说话，越来越离谱了！”
故事出自《史记汲郑列传》。成语“后来居上”，往往指后起的可以胜过先前的，和汲黯说这话的原意，大不相同。

对牛弹琴
Gong Mingyi was a famous musician in ancient times, who played the lute very well.
公明仪是古代一位很有名的音乐家，弹得一手好琴。
One day, while playing the lute indoors, Gong Mingyi saw a cow eating grass leisurely outside the window. He had a sudden whim to play some melodies for the cow. He first played the "Exercise of Qing Jiao", but the cow still kept on eating grass with head lowered. He seemed to realize that the melody was too highbrow for the cow to understand.
有一天，他在室内弹琴，看见一头牛在窗外悠闲地吃着草。他忽然想弹几曲给牛听听。他先弹了一曲“清角之操”。可是，牛还是跟刚才一样，只顾低着头吃草。他似乎意识到，这支曲子太高雅了，牛没有听懂。
So he played several other melodies, imitating the buzzing sounds of swarms of flying mosquitoes, and the bleats of a calf looking for its companions. At this, to his surprise, the cow stopped eating grass, but raised its head, pricked up its ears, wagged its tail and, pacing up and down in small steps, began to listen attentively.
于是，他弹了另外几支曲子，模拟蚊子成群结队飞来飞去的嗡嗡声;模拟小牛犊寻找伙伴的眸眸叫唤声。这样一来，这头牛竟然不吃草了，抬起头，竖着耳朵，甩着尾巴，迈着小步，留心地倾听起来。

"My shield is so strong that nothing can pierce it through."
He also sang praises of his spear.

井底之蛙
The Frog in the Shallow Well
(Jing Di Zhi Wa)
Have you not heard of the frog that lived in a shallow well? It said to a turtle that lived in the East Sea, "I am so happy! When I go out, I jump about on the railing beside the mouth of the well. When I come home, I rest in the holes on the broken wall of the well. If I jump into the water, it comes up to my armpits and holds up my cheeks. If I walk in the mud, it covers up my feet. I look around at the wriggly worms, crabs and tadpoles, and none of them can compare with me. Moreover, I am lord of this trough of water and I stand up tall in this shallow well. My happiness is full. My dear sir, why don't you come often and look around my place?"
Before the turtle from the East Sea could get its left foot in the well, its right knee got stuck. It hesitated and retreated. The turtle told the frog about the East Sea.
"Even a distance of a thousand li cannot give you an idea of the sea's width; even a height of a thousand ren cannot give you an idea of its depth. In the time of King Yu of the Xia dynasty, there were floods nine years out of ten, but the waters in the sea did not increase. ln the time of King Tang of the Shang dynasty there were droughts seven years out of eight, but the waters in the sea did not decrease. The sea does not change along with the passage of time and its level does not rise or fall according to the amount of rain that falls. The greatest happiness is to live in the East Sea."
After listening to these words, the frog of the shallow well was shocked into realization of his own insignificance and became very ill at ease.
