Quarrying a pile of soil by the river, Li Bai is famous for ages;

There are poems coming and going, making a big axe in front of Lu Ban.

This is the name of Li Bais Tomb written by a poet in the Ming Dynasty. Li Bai was a world-famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, and his fame spread through the ages after his death. How many literati pass by Li Bai's tomb and miss stopping for a minute to express their inner feelings by chanting poems. And their behavior can only be arty, "playing tricks in front of Lu Ban", which is too much.

Lu Ban was a native of Lu during the Warring States Period. He is an expert in making exquisite instruments. People call him an "able man", and people always regard him as the ancestor of carpenters. Who dares to show off his axe skills in front of Lu Ban, that is to say, to show off his skills in front of experts? This ridiculous behavior of being too modest is referred to as "playing axe in front of Lu Ban" or "playing axe in front of Lu Ban". This is similar to the saying of "playing broadsword in front of Guan Gong".

In fact, the idiom "teaching people to use an axe" took shape as early as the Tang Dynasty. Writer Liu Zongyuan has such a sentence in a preface: "Fuck the axe at the door of the class, Yaner!" It means too thick-skinned to show off the skills of using an axe in front of Lu Ban and Ren Ying (also skilled axe hands).

Panic about the shadow of the bow in the cup-fear of the shadow

One day, Le Guang invited his friends to drink in the hall at home. When that friend was drinking, he suddenly saw the shadow of a small snake shaking in his glass. He was disgusted, but he drank the wine anyway. I feel uncomfortable and uneasy after drinking it. I got sick when I got home.

A few days later, Le Guang heard the news that his friend was ill and knew the reason why he was ill. Le Guang thought, "There will never be a snake in the glass!" So he ran to the place where he was drinking that day. It turns out that there is a colorful bow on the wall of the hall. The shadow of the bow happened to fall where his friend put down his glass, so Yue Guang ran to his friend and explained the reason. After the man understood the reason, he immediately recovered.

Later, people used the metaphor of "a cup bow and a snake shadow" to be suspicious and ask for trouble.

Bole comments on horses-praising people who are good at discovering talents

Legend has it that the fairy who manages horses in the sky is called Bole. In the world, people call people who are good at distinguishing the good from the bad horses Bole.

The first person is Bole, whose real name is Sun Yang, and he was born in the Spring and Autumn Period. Because of his excellent research on horses, people forgot his original name and have simply called him Bole until now.

On one occasion, Bole was entrusted by the King of Chu to buy a good horse that could walk thousands of miles every day. Bole explained to the king of Chu that swift horses are rare and hard to find. He needs to travel around the country. Please rest assured that the king of Chu will try his best to get things done.

Bole traveled to several countries and carefully inspected Zhao Yan, which is rich in famous horses. It's hard, but I still haven't found a good horse I like. One day, Bole came back from Qi. On the way, he saw a horse pulling a salt cart and struggling on a steep slope. This horse is tired and it is difficult to take every step. Bole has always been very close to horses and can't help walking up to him. When the horse saw Bole approaching, it suddenly raised its head, widened its eyes and screamed loudly, as if to tell Bole something. Bole immediately judged from his voice that this was a rare good horse.

It's hard to get

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous man named Mi Fei, who was outstanding in talent. At that time, Kong Rong, a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, especially appreciated him and recommended him to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. He wrote: "The emperor's room and royal residence must store extraordinary treasures. If it is equal, it is rare. "

Xian Di didn't dare to decide, so he handed Kong Rong's recommendation form to Cao Cao. Cao Cao loves talents, so he summoned Mi Heng. I didn't know that Mi Heng looked down on Cao Cao and was rude to him. Cao Cao appointed Mi Fei as the drummer and ordered him to play drums to entertain guests at the banquet. Who knows that Miheng beat the drums and cursed Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao very embarrassed. Cao Cao sent Miheng to Jingzhou to surrender Liu Biao, trying to kill him by Liu Biao's hand. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao regarded Mi Fei as a guest of honor, and every time he discussed or issued a proclamation, Mi Fei made a statement. Later, Mi Heng was disrespectful to Liu Biao. Liu Biao sent him to Huang Zu's department as a secretary. Miheng is arrogant and domineering. Finally, he was killed by Howie.

The idiom "rarity" comes from this and describes it as very rare and rare. Mostly used to praise talented people.
