According to Sima Qian's report to Ren Shaoqing in the Han Dynasty, "the fierce tiger is in the deep mountains, and all kinds of animals are terrified, and in the trap, he shakes his tail to seek food, and the accumulation of power is gradually coming."

Idiom usage

It is used as predicate and attributive. In Zhang Binglin's letter to Wu junsui: "I've been detained for a long time, but I haven't heard it yet! I'm afraid my skin is not enough for the sky. " Luo Binwang of Tang Dynasty wrote a poem in prison: "when you enter the prison, you shake your tail, and the maze is exposing your cheek." In song and Tang Geng's Ci Gou Jing Shan Jian Ji Yun: "but it's taboo to feel the throat turning, so who's pitying to shake the tail." In Pu Songling's strange tales from a lonely studio, the Shen family: "Yu's father is all aristocratic, and he is ashamed of wagging his tail, so he disdains to ask for each other."

Idioms and allusions

The original text a person's inherent death, death is heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, so it's different to use it. It's very important that the Supreme Master should not humiliate himself, his body, his color, his words, his body, his easy clothes, his hair and his baby, his skin and his body. It is said that "the punishment is not superior to that of a senior official", which means that it is necessary to be strict. The fierce tiger is located in the deep mountain, and all kinds of animals are terrified. In the trap, it shakes its tail and asks for food. Therefore, scholars have drawn a picture of the land as a prison, and they are not able to enter into the situation. They cut wood as an official, and they are not right to discuss it. Today, when I have brothers and brothers, I am exposed to wooden ropes, my skin is exposed to violence, I am exposed to Bangchui, and I am secluded in the circular wall. When I see the warders, I will shoot them, and I will be alert when I see the apprentices. Who? It's also the potential of accumulating power. And has been so far, words do not insult, the so-called Qiangyan ear, how expensive! People always have to die, some more than Mount Tai, some less than a feather, because they have different functions in death. It is better for a person not to humiliate his ancestors, then himself, his face, his words, his bondage, his ochre clothes, his torture, his hair shaving and his iron lock, and his physical destruction At the bottom of the list is the stigma of corruption, which brings the stigma to the top. "The book of Rites" says: "do not punish or humiliate people above the doctor." that is to say, the scholars can not but strictly maintain their integrity. Tigers in the mountains, animals feel fear, but once it fell into the trap and cage wrapped, they shake their heads and tail to people for food, this kind of surrender to the power of the habit is gradually formed. So there was such a scholar who drew a circle on the ground to serve as a prison. He did not dare to go in, nor did he dare to raise his head to answer. Instead, he decided to commit suicide before he was humiliated. Now, I was bound with my hands and feet, put on the instruments of torture, stripped off my clothes, whipped, and locked up in a prison with four high walls. At this time, I kowtow at the sight of the warder, and tremble at the sight of the warder. Why? Because I gradually accumulated the fear of the warder's power. It's not shameful to say that you have not been humiliated when you have come to this point. What's more noble?
