With confidence
Wen Tong, a painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, has the same characters.His bamboo paintings are famous far and wide, and many people come to ask for paintings every day.What is the secret of Wen Tong's bamboo painting?It turned out that Wen Tong planted all kinds of bamboos in front of and behind his house. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain or shine, he often went to the bamboo forest to observe the growth and changes of bamboo, pondering the length and thickness of bamboo branches, the shape of leaves, color.

Whenever I have a new feeling, I go back to the study, spread paper and ink, and draw the impression in my heart on the paper.Over time, the images of bamboo in different seasons, different weathers, and different times are deeply imprinted in his mind. As long as he concentrates on picking up the brush and standing in front of the drawing paper, the various forms of bamboo that he observes on weekdays will immediately emerge. in sight.So every time he draws bamboo, he looks very calm and confident, and all the bamboos he draws are lifelike and vivid.

When people praised his paintings, he always said modestly: "I just painted the bamboo that I have thought about and matured in my heart."

A young man wanted to learn how to draw bamboo, and learned that the poet Chao Buzhi had studied Wen Tong's paintings very well, so he went to ask for advice.Akira Buzhi wrote a poem for him, in which there are two sentences: "If you can draw bamboo, you have a plan in mind."

The story comes from Su Shi's "Wen and Kegu Yanzhu Ji" in the Northern Song Dynasty. "Have a plan in mind" means that you have made full preparations before doing something, and you are very sure of the success of the matter;

Peaches and plums, the next from Seikei

During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a famous general named Li Guang.He fought more than 70 battles with the Xiongnu, and his outstanding military exploits made him deeply loved by officers, soldiers and common people.

Although Li Guang held a high position, commanded thousands of troops, and was a hero in defending the country, he was not at all arrogant.He not only treats people kindly, but also shares joys and sorrows with soldiers.Whenever the court gave him a reward, he would first think of his subordinates, and he would always distribute those rewards to the officers and soldiers; when marching and fighting, he would endure hunger just like the soldiers when food or water supply was not available. Hungry; when fighting, he took the lead in fighting and was brave and tenacious. As long as he gave an order, everyone would fight the enemy bravely without fear of sacrifice.What an admirable general this is!

Later, when the sad news of General Li Guang's death reached the barracks, all the soldiers in the army wept bitterly, and even many people who were not familiar with the general sighed for him.In people's minds, General Li Guang is the great hero they admire.

When Sima Qian, a great historian of the Han Dynasty, wrote a biography of Li Guang in "Historical Records", he used the proverb "If you don't talk about peaches and plums, you will form a path by yourself" to praise Li Guang's virtue of being sincere and not in vain.

"Peaches and plums don't talk, and the next one forms a path", which means that peaches and plums have fragrant flowers and sweet fruits. Although they can't speak, they still attract people to enjoy the flowers and fruits under the trees, so that people under the trees are very happy. Stepped on a path.

Arrow on the string
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords from all over the country often launched wars to compete for territory.Under Yuan Shao, a warlord in Hebei, there was a talented scholar named Chen Lin who was in charge of clerical work.At that time, the power of another warlord Cao Cao was growing rapidly, threatening Yuan Shao more and more, so Yuan Shao decided to attack Cao Cao.

One day, Yuan Shao called Chen Lin and asked him to write an article denouncing Cao Cao.Therefore, Chen Lin drafted an essay titled "A Call to Yuzhou for Yuan Shao" according to Yuan Shao's intention.In this article, Chen Lin not only counted Cao Cao's various crimes, but also insulted Cao Cao's three generations of ancestors.

Cao Cao often suffers from headaches.On this day, when he was falling ill, Cao Cao saw this proclamation sent by his subordinates.Because the article was written vividly and wonderfully, Cao Cao became more and more excited the more he read it, and he didn't even have a headache anymore.Although Cao Cao was also very angry at Chen Lin scolding himself and his ancestors in the article, he still admired Chen Lin's talent very much and felt sorry for Chen Lin serving Yuan Shao.

Later Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, and Chen Lin surrendered to Cao Cao.One day, Cao Cao asked Chen Lin: "When you wrote a letter to condemn me, you just scolded me alone. Why did you scold my three generations of ancestors?" Chen Lin said: "At that time I was working under Yuan Shao, and he ordered I wrote it, and I wrote it. It’s like an arrow is on the string, and I have to send it, and there is no way to do it.” Cao Cao understood Chen Lin’s situation at the time, so he did not punish him, and never mentioned this matter again.

Later, people used "the arrow is on the string" as a metaphor for the urgency of the situation and the time when things have to be done.Sometimes it is also used in conjunction with "have to send".

Gold and jade
During the Ming Dynasty, there was a fruit seller in Hangzhou who was very good at preserving oranges.The tangerines he preserved would not rot after a winter and a summer. The skins of the tangerines were as moist as jade, and their color was bright yellow, like gold.Although the price of tangerines has increased tenfold, everyone is still vying to buy them.

Someone bought one from him, and just peeled off the skin, a stench rushed straight to his forehead, and the flesh inside was as dry as cotton wool.The buyer was very upset, and asked the man who sold the mandarin oranges, "You have to put on a pretense to buy your mandarin oranges. Is it for offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, or for guests? Do you just use the color of the skin to deceive people? It's dishonest to do business like this!"

The fruit seller smiled and replied: "I have been doing this business for many years, and I live on it. I am willing to sell it, and others are willing to buy it. No one has any objections. Why is it that you are the only one who doesn't like this?" Are you satisfied? There are so many deceiving people in the world, am I the only one? Don’t think about it, those people who wear military charms in their waists and sit on tiger-skin chairs are showing off their power as if they are talents defending the country. Do you really have the ability to lead troops to fight like Sun Wu and Wu Qi?"

"Those who wear gauze hats on their heads and jade belts around their waists look as if they are the talents who manage the country. Can they really build up the achievements of Yi Yin and Gao Yao? Thieves are everywhere, and they don't know how to defend; the people are extremely miserable. They don't know how to relieve; the officials do wrong, they don't know how to prohibit; the morals and laws are corrupt, they don't know how to govern; Well-fed and drunk, all of them are unattainable and awe-inspiring, but which one doesn't look like gold and jade on the outside, but is a ball of broken cotton wool inside? Why didn't you, sir, see this? People, just see my tangerines?"

The fruit seller used oranges to scold the feudal bureaucrats.The buyer stopped making a sound after hearing this.

"Jinyuqiwai" and "baixuqiinside" are often used together, meaning that the appearance is good-looking, but the content is a mess. In addition to being used to describe such a person, it can also be used to describe such a thing. "Broken wadding" is "broken cotton wadding".
