What are the five-character common sayings?

There are five common sayings, such as: going to a doctor in a hurry, not missing a word, driving a duck to the shelves, asking questions without fire, asking questions without knowing, breaking a jar, hating iron and not turning it into steel, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

1. Go to the doctor in a hurry

Explanation: I am seriously ill and ask doctors everywhere. It is a metaphor for asking for help or thinking about ways when things are in an emergency.

from: Qing Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions" back to 57th: "Baoyu laughed and said,' The so-called" sick and rushed to the doctor "." "

2. There is no ambiguity in the eight characters.

Explanation: The metaphor is that things have not yet been made. Later, it evolved into no way, no eyebrows, no clue, and no relevance.

from: Sun Jinbiao, Qing Dynasty, Volume 3: "Popular Compilation:' Zhu Zi and Liu Zicheng's Book: the sage has opened the eight characters, and people don't understand it by themselves." According to today, there is a proverb that' eight characters don't see two left', which seems to be because of this. He who has no end to everything is said to have never seen two sides of the eight characters.

the vernacular translation: Zhu Xi's book with Liu Zicheng says: "The sages have left and pressed to both sides like the word" eight ",but people don't understand its meaning." According to the current proverb, it seems that the meaning comes from this. Anyone who doesn't have a clue is called a character that has never seen two.

3. Drive the ducks to the shelves

Explanation: It is a metaphor for forcing people to do things that they can't do.

from "Mother and Son, Your Majesty and Minister" by contemporary Levin: "Of course, this is not about driving ducks to the shelves. Besides, I know the importance, so don't worry. "

4. There is no smoke without fire

Explanation: There will be no waves without wind. Metaphorically, things happen for a reason.

from: Modern Gao Yubao's "Gao Yubao" Chapter 1: "There is no smoke without fire. If we can hear it, we will not be in the sky. As long as we are cruel, we will not be unable to find it."

5. I don't know if I ask three questions

Explanation: I originally meant that I didn't know the beginning, development and result of something, but now it is used to indicate that I don't know anything about the actual situation.

from: Zuo Qiuming's Twenty-seven Years of Mourning for the Duke in Zuo Zhuan in the Spring and Autumn Period: "A gentleman's plan is also taken from the beginning, the heart and the end, and then he enters into it. It's not hard for me to come in without knowing it today! "

Vernacular translation: The beginning, development and result of a gentleman's plan should be understood before it is implemented. Now it is very difficult for me to act without knowing these three things.
