What is the meaning of the ancient Chinese fable, the building of a house made of wet wood?

Wet wood building tells us that we should not only look at the present when doing things, but also be able to anticipate the adverse situations that may arise in the future. Because wet wood will dry out after a few years, the wood will deform with it, and eventually affect the safety of the house.

The feeling of reading a wet wooden house.

Gao Yang. should be intended to build a house. He called in a great deal of workers to cut down the trees, and when the trees that had just been cut were piled up in the yard, he said to the carpenter

Now that the timber is ready, there are not a lot of them, and you can start working. ”

The carpenter said, "No! The timber has just been cut and has not dried, so if you smear it with mud, you must have it.

will be bent. The house was built with freshly cut wet wood, and although it looked strong when it was just built, it was about to collapse in a few days. ”

Gao Yang should say: According to your words, my house can't be insured? Because in the future, the wood will be drier and harder, and the soil will be drier and lighter, and the harder and harder wood will bear the lighter and lighter soil, and the house will naturally not be damaged. ”

The carpenter had nothing to answer, so he had to do as he was told.

Gao Yangying's house looked good when it was first built, but it collapsed later.

What kind of inspiration does the fable "make a house of raw wood" give us?

The truth is: we must respect practical experience and objective laws in doing things, and if we are always self-righteous and blindly do things.

The result is bound to fail.

In ancient times, that wood became beautiful when it was wet.

In ancient times, the man thought that wood would look good when it was wet, but it was not safe.

The fact that Gao Yangying's house collapsed not long after it was lived in shows that in everything we do, we must respect practical experience and objective laws, and we must not act subjectively and brutally. Otherwise, there is no impunity.

You say that the meaning of the ancient Chinese fable of the moth is the moth, what can you think of that thing? Of course it's not good, understand that good things have a worm gram, you say compare him to a moth, you say. Got it.

Personally, I think the implication is to prevent the slightest.

There is a wooden pavilion on the pond in the garden, which is elegant and chic. Later, moths grew inside. The moths go to the pillars, beams, jue heads, and eaves of the empty water pavilion, and swim leisurely in it, enjoying themselves.

When the skin of the wood finally wore through, the moths found their position, and they were all chilled. Because they see that there is water underneath, and if the pavilion collapses, they will also be destroyed.

The moths held an emergency meeting, at which they were enthusiastic and generous, and many very correct opinions were expressed and very correct proposals were put forward. In order to save the pavilions from collapse and save their own fate, the urgent measure is to stop the decay completely. In the end, the resolution was adopted unanimously.

Every moth praised it as a good resolution. However, every moth thinks that it doesn't matter much if such a big water pavilion is eaten by itself. They all thought so, and they all did so, and the erosion of the water pavilion did not decrease at all.

Things are getting worse and worse. As meetings continue to be held, calls for a halt to the moth have intensified, and the wording of the resolution has become more severe and urgent. But the situation is still the same, and each moth goes back to its own little bit as usual.

Until one day, the water pavilion finally collapsed and drowned, and the meeting of the moths came to an end.

Ancient fables are "a genre of literary work, anecdotes with allusions or ironies." It not only has the function of persuasion and irony, but is also a literary work with an anecdote. The range of fables is wide, Fables from the pre-Qin to the Qing dynasty are included; Some are narrower and only contain fables from a certain period

People often have the illusion that most of the main characters in fables are animals, but this is not necessarily the case. As far as China is concerned, of course, there are those who use animals as the main roles, But there are also many things that have to do with the world; Sometimes they borrow characters from time to add interest to the story, making the whole narrative seem more realistic· Fables enrich the language of our country· The simple and concise form of fables has become an inseparable part of the Chinese language

Ancient Chinese fables.

The ancient fables of our country collected in this book can be summarized into three categories according to their ideological content.

The first type is to tell profound philosophies in vivid and lively metaphors, which not only give people the enjoyment of beauty, but also give people wisdom. Since the pre-Qin period in our country, there have been many philosophical fables, forming a major feature of ancient Chinese fables, many of which shine with the ideological brilliance of simple materialism or dialectics, and the "Frog of the Well" in the "Zhuangzi" in this book shows that the world is vast, and people should not be confined to their own narrow sights and hears and be arrogant. The "Worrying Heaven" in "Liezi" shows that the sky is just an accumulation of gas, and there is no place without gas; The earth is nothing but clods of earth, and clods of earth are filled in all directions, and there is no place where there is no land.

Therefore, the idea that the heavens and the earth are about to collapse is groundless. "The Easiest Way to Draw Ghosts" shows that starting from objective reality, it is the most difficult to do things according to objective laws, and it is necessary to work hard. And it is easy to stay away from the reality and talk nonsense.

There are more fables that satirize the various manifestations of idealism and metaphysics from the opposite side, and vividly depict some ugly states that cling to metaphysics. "Sprouts to Grow" tells people how ridiculous it is to make stupid actions that violate objective laws; "One Man Pierces the Well" illustrates that when conducting investigation and research, it is inevitable that there will be no mistakes based on hearsay and subjective speculation; As for the Zheng people in "Zheng Ren Buying Shoes", he is a typical example of dogmatism.

The second category is to have"Persuade the good and punish the evil"nature, many of which also give positive inspiration. The "Rodent Law" shows that it is despicable to have an improper mind and not hesitate to harm a benefactor for one's own selfish interests; "Why Wait for the Next Year" and "Orangutan Alcoholism" advise people to correct their mistakes, don't excuse them, and make them knowingly; "Centipede Arrogance" and "Victory and Defeat" educate people not to be arrogant and complacent, and blindly underestimate the enemy.

There are also some negative elements in this kind of story, such as the outdated view of self-preservation and karma, for which we should be good at discerning and criticizing.

The third category is:"Expose the hidden and show its evils", ironically. Some of them are aimed at current politics and denounce bad customs and bad habits, exposing the darkness and decay of feudal society to a certain extent. "Forcibly Taking People's Clothes" and "Gao Xin's Thirst for Killing" reveal the ingenuity and extreme cruelty of the wicked in the world; "More Experience" and "Cat Wishing Mouse Longevity" ridicule the hypocrisy of hypocrites; "Fighting for the Goose" rebukes the culture of advocating empty talk and engaging in meaningless arguments; "The Charming Tiger" and "The Mountain Charm Lacquer Mirror" point out that liking and hating criticism will reap the consequences; "Pedantic Firefighting" and "Fu Xian" show the pedantic and ridiculous observance of feudal etiquette.

In addition, there are also special talks about learning attitudes, learning methods, and the art of struggle, especially a few stories about Bole Soma, which I feel have new meaning when I read them today.

Fable 1, origin: The word fable was first seen in the "Zhuangzi Fables": Fable XIX, by means of external arguments, and the world chapter is true of tautology, and fables are wide.

The former points to the technique of using external objects to make arguments, while the latter sees allegory as a tool for conveying ideas.

2. Heterogeneous Names: In the history of Chinese literature, the word fable has not become a common name for this genre. For example, "Han Feizi" called "Chu Shuo", Liu Xiang called "Beilu" called "Occasional Words", and Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties called "Yu"; Individual authors use other stylistic forms to create fables, such as "precepts" (such as Liu Zongyuan's three precepts), biography (such as "The Legend of the Wolf in Zhongshan"), and "Shuo" (such as "Ai Zi Miscellaneous Sayings").

3. Definition: Fable is a literary genre. It's a story that's both ironic and educational.

The main character in the story can be a human, an animal, or an inanimate. Its expression, whether it is a metaphor for the past or the present, or a metaphor for people, or a metaphor for the small, or a metaphor for the other, all convey profound truths through specific and simple stories.

4. Development: Ancient Chinese fables have a long history and have taken shape in the pre-Qin period. It has successively gone through five stages: the reasoning fables of the pre-Qin period, the exhortation fables of the Han Dynasty, the mocking fables of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the satirical fables of the Tang and Song dynasties, and the witty fables of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

A classic Chinese fable of three people in the same room.

There are three people with different temperaments and hobbies, and they live in the same room, and they often argue about things.

One day, when A came back from outside, he felt hot and dry because he was in a hurry outside, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted that the house was too stuffy and hot, and opened all the doors and windows wide. B stayed at home for a day, ** didn't go, and felt cold, so he blamed A for not opening the doors and windows. The two of them didn't let each other go, one wanted to open, one wanted to close, one said it was boring, the other said it was cold, and they made trouble for a long time over a little thing.

When C came back from outside, he knew what was going on when he heard what A and B had to say, but both A and B thought that C was stupid by nature, so they couldn't listen to C's persuasion at all, and they both thought that only they were right.

Again, B buys a papier-mâché lantern from the market, and as soon as he enters, A is opposed by A, who blames B for not buying a silk-covered lantern, which is beautiful and noble; B said that papier-mâché lanterns are as beautiful as they are lit, but the price is much cheaper than silk lanterns. A says that paper lanterns are cheaper, but not as durable as silk lanterns; B says that if you buy one silk lantern, you can buy ten paper lanterns; A said that he would rather buy one silk lantern than ten paper lanterns; B says that ten paper lanterns can change the color of the variety ......C was sandwiched between the two of them, and he persuaded A and B for a while, but he still couldn't get A and B to stop arguing.

A and B always emphasize their reasons when arguing, focusing only on their own right side, but not seeing their own extremes. C, on the other hand, is a bit dumber than A and B, but because he did not participate in the quarrel, he can see the problem more objectively, so he can judge who is right and who is wrong.

When we deal with others in ordinary times, we should not be stubborn and subjective like A and B, but we should be like C, objective and calm, so that our minds can distinguish right from wrong.
