Translation: There was an old man in the Song Kingdom who raised monkeys, liked monkeys, and raised them in groups, he could understand the meaning of monkeys, and monkeys could also understand the old man's mind. The elderly man who keeps monkeys would rather reduce the amount of food he and his family eat to meet the needs of the monkeys.

Soon, his family will run out of food, and he will limit the amount of food for the monkeys. But fearing that the monkey would not obey him, he first deceived the monkey and said, "Is it enough to give you three acorns in the morning and four in the evening?"

The monkeys all stood up and were furious. And he said, "Give you acorns, four in the morning and three in the evening, right?"

The monkeys were very happy and then they all lay on the ground.

Sniper is a smart man.

This story originates from "Zhuangzi * Theory of Things".

One year, when there was a lack of food, the monkey keeper said to the monkey, "Now there is not enough food, we must save some food." How about eating three acorns in the morning and four in the evening?

The monkeys were very angry when they heard this, and they shouted noisily, "Too little! Why don't you eat as much in the morning as you do in the evening?

The monkey keeper hurriedly said, "So how about eating four in the morning and three in the evening?" When the monkeys heard this, they were all overjoyed, and felt that they had eaten more in the morning than in the evening, and that they had triumphed.

In fact, the total number of acorns has not changed, but the distribution method has changed, and the monkeys have turned their anger into joy. Theorists who pursue name and reality always try to distinguish between the different properties of things, without knowing that things themselves have identity. In the end, like a monkey, he was blinded by the morning and evening and the morning and evening.

The original meaning of the morning and evening refers to the fact that the essence remains the same, and people are deceived by changing the name. Song "Ercheng Quanshu, Testament, Eighteen, Mr. Yichuan's Words": "If the saint is not known, how can the heart of the saint be the art of the future generations?"

Unfortunately, the people who later applied this idiom did not know the origin of the three and the twilight, and confused it with "the twilight of the dynasty". The latter refers to the Warring States Period, when the two great powers of Qin and Chu were opposed, and some weak countries fell to Qin for a while, and then to Chu. Just like 10 years ago, when the United States and the Soviet Union were vying for hegemony, some African countries sometimes turned to the United States and sometimes to the Soviet Union.

Originally, it had nothing to do with this, but as a matter of falsehood, over time, everyone was accustomed to understanding "three days and four days" as unprincipled and capricious.

He is intelligent, capricious, and sees the essence through the phenomenon, and no matter how many forms there are, there is only one essence.

Sniper is a smart man.

Are you doing workbooks?

The translation of this text is wrong, and it should be the person who raised the macaque, not the sniper.

Seeking adoption!!

is a relatively intelligent person who takes advantage of the monkey's cleverness.

Old-fashioned, flexible people.

This story illustrates the short-sightedness of monkeys. The monkey only sees the immediate benefits, and does not think about the results. There are also many such people in today's society, who only see a small profit in front of them. and did not take into account the big picture. We have to learn from this story.

While we criticize monkeys for not looking at the essence of things, only paying attention to the form of things, and raising monkeys for being treacherous and scheming, we should learn the flexible and changeable working methods and thinking patterns of monkey keepers, and use them as our negative teaching materials to absorb and learn dialectically.

朝三暮四 [zhāo sān mù sì].

Interpretation: The original metaphor was that a wise person is good at using means, and a stupid person is not good at discerning things, and later the metaphor is capricious. There was a man who played with monkeys who fed the monkeys acorns, and he told the monkeys that he would give each monkey three acorns in the morning and four in the evening, and all the monkeys were anxious when they heard this. Later, he said that if he gave four in the morning and three in the evening, all the monkeys would be happy (see Zhuangzi Qi Wu Treatise).

Source: "Zhuangzi Qi Wu Theory": "Sniper Gong Fu said: 'Chao three and Mo (twilight) four. All the snipers were furious. ”

Example sentence: He is always in the morning and evening, and has no backbone.

Originated from Zhuang Zhou's "Zhuangzi Qi Theory of Things". The original moral of this story is a clever satire of the two foolishness of management and management, and the latter is ridiculed for being "laughing and generous" because he "can't see Mount Tai with a leaf";However, the former, who seems to be proud, is only used to solving the immediate predicament, and is accustomed to some 'self-deception, human rights, and the strategy of delaying the army', and naturally ends up being resented because it is not a long-term solution. Now, it is implied that the goal is not firm or emotionally dedicated.

Allusion to "Zhuangzi Qi Theory of Things": "Sniper Gong Fu Qi, said: 'Three in the morning and four in the twilight.'"

All the snipers were furious. He said, 'Then it will be four and three at dusk.'

All snipers are pleased. The name is not lost and the joy and anger are used, and it is also because it is. It is a saint and a right and wrong, which is said to be two lines.

The "sniper" here refers to the monkey, and the "sniper" is the person who plays the monkey.

The Yellow Emperor also expands on this story in detail, saying that there was a man who raised macaques in the Song Kingdom, because he raised too many macaques and his family was short of wealth, so the macaques raised people planned to restrict the macaques' food. He said to the monkey, Give three acorns in the morning and four in the evening, and the monkey was furious, and the monkey did not rejoice until he said four in the morning and three in the evening. This is the story of "three days and four days", which means that the essence remains the same, and people are fooled by changing their eyebrows.

But now we are more metaphorical and capricious.

The god of labor is one, and he does not know the same, which is called the three. "Trying your best to seek "one", but not knowing that it is the same, this is "Chao Three". The total number and essence of Chao 3 and Chao 4 and Chao 3 have not changed in total, they are both seven, but the order is different, and the impact on the monkeys is also different.

Example: Yuan Qiaoji's "Hillside Sheep, Winter Writing" song: "Yesterday is not today, and the idiot does not understand the glory and withering.

Synonyms are chaotic and capricious.

Antonyms are conformist and immutable riddles.

84 hours. The four Chinese idioms, fables, and allusions originate from the Zhuangzi * Theory of Things.

Original text: Song has a sniper, loves sniping, and raises a group. It can solve the meaning of sniping, and sniping is also.

The heart of justice. Damage his family's mouth and fill the desire of snipe. Russia is scarce, will limit its food, afraid that the public will not be tamed, the first said: "With Ruomao, towards four and three at dusk, enough?" "From the sniper to the rejoicing.

Comment: The original meaning of this story is to expose the deception of snipers and warn people to pay attention to reality and avoid being deceived by rhetoric. But then, the meaning of the story changed a bit, and it was extended to be capricious, and it was used to condemn the kind of people who often change their words and do things, and are irresponsible.

Vernacular allusion: During the Warring States Period, there was an old man who raised monkeys in the Song Kingdom, and he raised many monkeys in the yard of his home. After a long time, the old man and the monkey were able to communicate and speak.

The old man gave each monkey four chestnuts every morning and evening. After a few years, the old man's economy became less and less abundant, and the number of monkeys increased, so he wanted to change the number of chestnuts per day from eight to seven, so he discussed with the monkeys and said, "From today onwards, I will give you three millet seeds every morning, and four chestnuts as usual in the evening.

When the monkeys heard this, they all thought that there was one less in the morning? So they started squeaking and screaming, and they were jumping around as if they were very unwilling.

When the old man saw this, he quickly changed his words and said, "Then I will give you four in the morning and three more in the evening, so it should be okay, right?" ”

When the monkeys heard this, they thought that the morning corn had changed from three to four, and as before, they rolled on the ground with joy.

It turns out that we all misunderstood "three days and four days", and there is such an interesting story behind it!

The meaning and explanation of the morning and evening, come in and listen.

Morning three and four is an idiom, derived from Zhuang Zhou's "Zhuangzi Qi Theory of Things", the original metaphor used deception to deceive people, and later used as a metaphor often changing hexagrams, capricious, changeable, and unpredictable.

"Three days and four evenings" warns people to pay attention to reality and avoid being deceived by superficial illusions. Now it refers to people who speak and do things capriciously, and often change hexagrams.

Go back to the roots, ......It's not quite the same.

The original Song has a sniper, loves sniping, raises a group, and can solve the meaning of sniping. Snipers also have the heart of justice. Damage his family's mouth and fill the desire of snipe.

Russia and craftsmanship will limit their food. I am afraid that the sniper will not be tamed by himself, so he said: "With Ruomao, three and four, enough?" ”

All the snipers were angry.

He said: "With Ruomao, four and three at dusk, enough?" ”

"All the snipers were overjoyed.

"Liezi. Translation of the Yellow Emperor.

There is a good monkey keeper in the Song Kingdom, who loves monkeys and raises a lot. (He) can understand the meaning of the monkey, and the monkey also understands the mind of the sniper. (Sniper) saves the family's rations and satisfies the monkey's appetite.

Soon there will be a shortage of food, and they will have to limit what they eat. Lest the monkeys disobey themselves, they lie to them first, saying, "Is it enough to give you acorns, three in the morning and four in the afternoon?"

The monkeys all jumped up and got angry. After a while he said, "Give you acorns, four in the morning and three in the afternoon, is that enough?"

The monkeys all lay on the ground to express their joy.

If you don't dig deeper, in modern times, "three days and four evenings" and "four days and three nights" both have the meaning of "capriciousness".

It turned out to be to expose the deception of snipers and warn people to pay attention to reality and prevent being deceived by rhetoric. Later, the meaning changed somewhat, and was extended to mean capriciousness, which was used to condemn the kind of irresponsible meaning that often changes in speech and behavior.

It turns out that we all misunderstood "three days and four days", and there is such an interesting story behind it!

Civil servants judge by common sense, what does the fourth of the morning and evening mean? It's been a long time.

Song has a sniper and loves to snipe. Raising a group can solve the meaning of sniping; Snipers also have the heart of justice. Damage his family's mouth and fill the desire of snipe.

Russia is scarce. It will be limited to food. I am afraid that the sniper will not be tamed by himself, so I will say first:
