Idioms and allusions

origin

In the sixth volume of Zhuangzi Ji Shi, Wai Pian Qiushui, young master Mu Yinji sighed, looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "did you not hear the frog of Fu Gu well? The turtle in the East China Sea said: "I am happy with you! When you jump out of the well, you enter the cliff where you are resting. When you go to the water, you hold your arms. When you step into the mud, you don't destroy your tarsal. When you return to the crab and fight against the enemy, you can't do it. And I'm good at crossing a gully and a well. That's the end of it. Master Xi comes here from time to time. " The turtle in the East China Sea has not entered the left foot, but its right knee is full. So he wandered around and told the sea, "a man is far away, not big enough; a man's height is not deep enough. In Yu's time, there were nine years of poverty in ten years, and the water was used to add benefits; in Tang's time, there were seven years of drought in eight years, but the cliff was not damaged. It's also the great joy of the East China Sea. " So when the frog in the well hears it, he will be surprised, and the rules will be lost. And I don't know what's right and what's wrong, but I still want to see what Chuang Tzu said. It's just like I've been forced to bear the burden of the mountain, and it's not enough for me to gallop the river. What's the difference between the two? And the other side ascended the great emperor in the yellow spring, no south, no north, but four solutions, and fell into the unexpected; no East, no West, began in xuanming, but in Datong. Zi is a rule. However, to seek for it and to seek for it and to argue for it is to use his eyes to see the sky and his awl to point to the earth! My son is gone! Besides, I didn't hear of Fu Shou Ling alone. Yu Zi's learning and practice were in Handan and other places? He didn't get the power of the country, but he lost it. So he went straight to his ear. If I don't go now, I will forget my son and lose my career. "

translation

Wei Mou sighed deeply, then looked up and said with a smile, "haven't you ever heard of the frog in the shallow well? The frog said to the turtle in the East China Sea, "I'm so happy! I jump and play on the railings of the well head. When I enter the well, I rest where the bricks on the well wall are damaged. Diving into the water, the well water overflows into my armpit and holds up my chin. Stepping into the mud, the muddy water covers my instep. Looking back at the red insects, crabs and tadpoles in the water, no one can be as happy as me! Besides, my happiness of monopolizing a pit of water and occupying a shallow well is extremely satisfactory. Why don't you come to the well at any time? " The turtle in the East China Sea has not yet stepped into the shallow well with its left foot, and its right knee has been caught. After a while's hesitation, he stepped back and told the frog in the shallow well the situation of the sea, saying: "the distance of thousands of miles is not enough to describe its size; the height of thousands of Ren is not enough to explore its depth. In the era of Xiayu, there were nine floods in ten years, but the sea water would not increase; in the era of Shangtang, there were seven droughts in eight years, but the water level on the bank would not decrease. It's the greatest happiness of Donghai that it doesn't change because of the short and long time, and it doesn't change because of the amount of rainfall. " The frog of shallow well was at a loss after hearing this. Besides, Gongsun Long's intelligence is not enough to know the realm of right and wrong, but he still wants to observe Chuang Tzu's words. It's like driving mosquitoes to carry mountains and horses to run in the river. He must be incompetent. And you are not intelligent enough to know the most mysterious words, but to cater to those temporary victories. Isn't that like a frog in a shallow well? Moreover, Chuang Tzu's idea is to ascend to heaven in the extreme yellow spring. Regardless of the north and south, he is free from obstacles, deep and silent, and can't be detected. Regardless of the East and West, he starts from the deep and mysterious place and returns to the broad and accessible place. You have rigidly used the method of observation to explore its mysteries, and used argumentative words to seek its true meaning. It's just peeping at the sky with a bamboo tube and measuring the earth with an awl. Isn't it too small! You'd better go! And haven't you ever heard that the boy from Shouling of Yan state went to Handan of Zhao state to study walking? Failed to learn Zhao's skills, and lost his original skills, and finally had to crawl back. If you don't leave me as soon as possible, you will forget your original ability and lose your original study. "
