Idiom story

Story 1 in the spring and Autumn period, Wu Shen (the first voice) of the state of Chu and Chao (the second voice) of the state of CAI were good friends. Wu Ju, Wu Shen's son, and Sheng Zi, the son of Zi Chao, were also good friends. Wu Ju fled to the outskirts of Zheng capital because of his father-in-law's crime, and met Sheng Zi. They immediately pulled the grass from the roadside and spread it on the ground. They sat face to face and talked to each other. Phonon finally countered Wu Ju. Story 2 Wu Ju, also known as Jiao Ju, was a doctor of the state of Chu in the spring and Autumn period. He was a good friend of Sheng Zi, a doctor of the state of CAI. It turned out that Wu Ju's father, Wu Shen, was also a good friend with son's father, Zi Chao. Wu Ju's wife is Wang Zimu's daughter. Wang Zimu was granted the title of Shen (the place name of Chu, in the north of Nanyang County, Henan Province), so he was called Shen Gong. Shen Gong committed a crime and fled secretly. At that time, there was a rumor that "muweiye, Prince Shen, fled. His daughter Jing Wuju informed him and sent him away." When the rumor spread like this, Wu Ju could not help but be afraid, so he quickly fled to the neighboring state of Zheng. When Wu Ju was in the state of Zheng, he felt that he was unreliable and was ready to flee to the state of Jin again. It happened that Sheng Zi was sent to the state of Jin on business. After passing through the state of Zheng, he met Wu Ju on the outskirts of the capital of Zheng. Both sides were surprised when they met old friends in other places. Of course, they were very happy. So "Banjing phase and food, in terms of Fugu.". ——Class, is the meaning of laying, Jingtiao, is Jingtiao. Because we met on the way in the suburbs, there was no seat, so we laid Vitex and sat on the ground. Besides, eat something and talk about all kinds of old scenes of interaction in the past. This is the origin of the idiom "ban Jing Dao Gu". When old friends meet, they do not stick to the etiquette. They sit down and talk about their old parents from the mountain, which is called "Banjing Daogu.",. The so-called "Dao Gu" is the idle thought of reminiscing about the past. "Chunyu Kun said," if you don't see each other for a long time when you make friends, you'll see each other when you die. If you're happy with each other, you'll be able to drink five or six duels when you talk with each other. " Besides, Wu Ju and Sheng Zi are outside Zheng Guocheng, and they are known as "ban Jing Dao Gu". At that time, Wu Ju naturally talked about the reason, process and future plan of his escape from Chu. Hearing this, Sheng Zi felt aggrieved and said to Wu Ju, "it's better for you to live in Jin Yin for a while. I will try to get you back to Chu as soon as possible. " When Sheng Zi finished his work in the state of Jin, he came to the state of Chu. The "Ling Yin" (equivalent to the prime minister) Zi mu (Qu Jian) of the state of Chu met him and asked him about the state of Jin. He also asked, "which state is better than the state of Chu?" Sheng Zi replied: "there are many talented doctors in the state of Jin, but most of them came from the state of Chu. Although Chu had talent, Jin applied it. " Zi Mu said, "is there no talent for selection in the state of Jin?" Phonon said: "there are also, but there are still many Chu materials." Then, Sheng Zi lists several talents of Chu who went to the state of PU, such as Xigong, Yongzi, Ziling and Ben Huang. He points out that most of the talents of Chu went to the state of Jin because of the corruption of internal affairs and the poor use of people. He also points out that the reason why Chu was defeated by Jin Wei several times in the past is that these people were planning for the enemies of Jin. After hearing this, Zimu suddenly realized that he couldn't help crying out: "ah, that's it Taking advantage of this, Sheng Zi mentions Wu Ju's story. He thinks that it's a malicious rumor made by people who are jealous of him. He scares away a rare talent in vain. Zimudang immediately ordered that Wu Ju's reputation and title be restored, and sent jiaoming (Wu Ju's son) to the state of Jin immediately to take Wu Ju back.
