In addition to Yan Zi Makes Chu , there is also a story of who is wise and eloquent 5

Zhuge Liang's tongue fights the Confucians.

Ikkyu (I don't know if it counts).

When Xie Shang was in the Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Xie Shang, who was very sensible since he was a child.

When Xie Shang was eight years old, his father, Xie Kun, became a taishou. Taishou was a high-ranking magistrate with great power. Therefore, many people came to flatter Xie Shang's father, and the guests in the house kept coming and going.

Once, Xie Kun led Xie Shang to meet guests. When the guests saw that the child was very smart and cute, they asked him questions to test him. Xiao Xie Shang replied fluently, no one could trouble him, and the guests couldn't stop praising him.

Xie Shang has a good sense of praise for people. He knew that some people were sincere; Some people are out of the entertainment scene and go along with it; And many more praise themselves too much in order to curry favor with their fathers.

Xie Shang was very unaccustomed to vulgar people who praised him, so he wanted to find an opportunity to refute these people.

Coincidentally, once, Xie Shang's family held a banquet with full guests. A guest saw Xie Shang present and said to Xie Kunxian: "In the end, there is a father and a son." We are too strategic, and our son is young and smart. Gongzi Xie is really a Yan Hui in the middle of a house! ”

Yan Hui was a famous and intelligent young man in ancient times, and he was the most proud student of Confucius. Xie Shang felt that he was not as good as Yan Hui, and that person's praise was too much. So, he immediately stood up and retorted to him: "There is no one in the full seat who is better than Confucius, ** Yan Hui?" ”

The implication is that a virtuous person like Yan Hui was educated by Confucius. Now, none of you adults are as learned as Confucius, so how can you cultivate a student as knowledgeable as Xiang Yanhui? The answer is supplemented by Cao Chong.

Cao Cao was not only a successful politician, military strategist, and writer, but also a successful father. Several of his sons have outstanding merits, and his favorite is Cao Chong. In ancient times, the so-called prodigies were mostly outstanding in language, but Cao Chong showed superb thinking ability to solve problems.

When Cao Chong was seven years old, he weighed the elephant by the method of equal substitution, which not only shocked the people at that time, but also passed down through the ages, becoming one of the most classic stories of children's intellectual enlightenment.

There is also an allusion: Sun Quan once sent a beautiful pheasant. Cao Cao wanted to watch the pheasant dance, but he tried his best, but this rare bird just didn't sing or dance, which made people sigh in vain.

Cao Chong came up with a way to make a large mirror and put it in front of the pheasant. The pheasant saw the same kind in the mirror, and had the heart to win, and immediately danced up.

The historical story "Yan Zi Makes Chu" recounts the affairs of Yan Zi of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period to Chu State. The text mainly talks about the king of Chu wanting to insult Yan Zi, and Yan Zi refuted the king of Chu and maintained the dignity of the country with his ingenuity and-for-tat.

In total, three trivia stories are told.

1.The king of Chu asked Yan Zi to drill the dog hole, and Yan Zi counterattacked the king of Chu with the method of the king of Chu 2The king of Chu used the excuse that there was no one in the Qi country, satirized Yan Zi's incompetence, and satirized the incompetence of the Qi country. Yan Zi also belittled the king of Chu and the state of Chu.

3.The king of Chu ridiculed the Qi people for being uneducated, and Yan Zi gave an example to prove that the reason was that the water and soil of the two countries were different.

It shows the spirit of Yan Zi's wit and agility, being able to speak well, and safeguarding the dignity of the motherland.

Have all one's goods in the window.

Qi Jinggong said to Yan Zi: "In the East China Sea, there is a bronze current. In this red water, there are jujube trees, which only bloom and do not bear fruit, what is the reason? ”

Yan Zi replied: "Once upon a time, Qin Miaogong patrolled the world on a dragon boat and wrapped steamed dates in yellow cloth. The dragon boat swam to the East China Sea, and Qin Miaogong abandoned the yellow cloth wrapped in dates, which made the yellow cloth stain the sea red, so the sea water was bronze.

And because the jujube has been steamed, it only blooms after planting and does not bear fruit. ”

Jing Gong said dissatisfied: "I pretended to ask, why are you talking nonsense to me?" ”
