The origin of Tarzan 10

Mount Tai mentioned in this idiom does not refer to the famous mountain in Shandong Province, but a famous bamboo craftsman in ancient China.

According to legend, Lu Ban, a famous carpenter in the Spring and Autumn Period in China, once recruited a group of apprentices. Lu Ban cherishes his reputation very much, and every once in a while, he has to eliminate a few "unsuccessful" people from his apprentices. Among Lu Ban's apprentices, there was a young man named Taishan, who looked bad and did not make much progress in his skills.

In order to maintain the reputation of "Banmen", Lu Ban resolutely resigned from Mount Tai.

A few years later, once Lu Ban led his apprentices to wander through the market, and suddenly found that there were a lot of bamboo furniture on the stalls, and the skills reached the point of perfection, and customers rushed to buy them. Lu Ban, who loves talents, wanted to get acquainted with this bamboo master, so he asked people. People told him that it was the apprentice of Master Luban, the famous Taishan.

Lu Ban was taken aback, remembering that he had made a mistake about Mount Tai, he was deeply ashamed, and sighed: "I really don't know Mount Tai with my eyes!" ”

Excerpt from sandysong

The allusion to the idiom "you have eyes but don't know Mount Tai" is related to Luban.

Tai Shan was a famous carpenter in the Spring and Autumn period of China, and he had a group of apprentices, including a young man named Tai Shan, who seemed to have average skills and did not make much progress. For the sake of his reputation and signboard, Lu Ban resolutely resigned from Mount Tai.

A few years later, once Lu Ban took his apprentices to wander in the market, and suddenly found a lot of well-made bamboo furniture on the stalls, and after asking people, he learned that this was made by his apprentice Taishan. Lu Ban remembered that he had made a mistake about Taishan, and he regretted it and sighed: "Alas!

I really don't know Tarzan with my eyes."

With the development of history, the deeds of Luban and Mount Tai have been summarized into an idiom allusion. Therefore, "having eyes but not knowing Mount Tai" does not describe a person's ignorance, but describes being blinded by some subjective thoughts, so as to not recognize the master in front of him.

Tarzan:

Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as the paradise of "straight to the emperor's seat", became the sacred mountain that the people worshipped, and the emperor sacrificed, and there was a saying that "Mount Tai is safe, and the four seas are safe". From Qin Shi Huang to the Qing Dynasty, there have been 13 generations of emperors who have climbed Mount Tai in person to seal Zen or sacrifice, and 24 generations of emperors have sent officials to worship 72 times. There are more than 20 ancient buildings and more than 2,200 steles and stone carvings left on the mountain.

Because of the high status of Mount Tai in the mountains of China, therefore, Mount Tai evolved into a person of high ability or high status.

There are eyes that do not know the explanation of TarzanThe Taishan in the Eyes does not refer to Mount Tai, one of the five mountains, but to Mount Tai, the apprentice of Lu Ban. It is often used as a metaphor for a person's very narrow view and inability to distinguish a master in a certain field or a person of high status.

There are allusions to the fact that you don't know Mount TaiThe allusion to the sight of not knowing Mount Tai is from the carpenter master Lu Ban, when one of his apprentices was named Mount Tai, but Lu Ban thought that he had no talent and ability, so he expelled him from the door, and later saw the exquisite furniture on the street, and learned that it was made by Mount Tai, and said the words that there were eyes and did not know Mount Tai.

1. Mount Tai here actually refers to a person's name, Mount Tai is a cautious apprentice of the carpenter's master Lu Ban.

2, "I don't know Mount Tai with eyes"** in such a small story: the ancestor of the craftsman is Lu Ban, and his craftsmanship is ingenious and very clever. Legend has it that he once made a bird out of wood and flew in the sky for three days and three nights without coming down. But such a master also has times when he looks away.

3. Kuanmo Luban recruited a lot of apprentices, in order to maintain the reputation of the class, he regularly inspected and eliminated some people, including one named Taishan, who looked stupid, came for a while, and his skills did not grow, so Luban swept him out. A few years later, Lu Ban wandered on the street and suddenly found a lot of well-made furniture, which was made vividly and very popular with people. Lu Ban thought who this person was, so powerful, someone told him on the side:

It's your apprentice Taishan. Lu Ban couldn't help but say with emotion: "I really don't know Mount Tai!" ”

We often say that "you have eyes but don't know Mount Tai", which means that you have eyes, but you don't recognize Mount Tai. In life, it is often compared to clumsy eyesight, shallow knowledge, and lack of outstanding talents. According to records, there are two interesting legends about the origin of this saying, both of which are related to Lu Ban, the ancestor of the Chinese construction industry.

[One of the sources of allusions].

According to the folk elders, Mount Tai was a famous bamboo craftsman in ancient China, who once served as Luban's apprentice. Lu Ban is extremely strict with his apprentices and never lets go of their shortcomings easily. Why is that?

It turned out that Lu Ban cherished his hard-won reputation very much, and in order to maintain his reputation, he established his own management system, and every once in a while he had to eliminate individual "unsuccessful" people from his apprentices.

But one year, a young man named Taishan was dismissed by Luban because his skills had not grown much.

Spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom and fall. Once Lu Ban saw a batch of exquisitely made bamboo furniture in the market, he wanted to get acquainted with this master of making bamboo ware. So Lu Ban asked the locals about the name of the person who made the furniture, and was surprised to hear that he was Taishan who had been driven down the mountain by himself.

So, Lu Ban was very ashamed of the mistake of Taishan, and sighed: "I really don't know Taishan!" ”

[Allusion Origin II].

According to legend, Lu Ban has been working outside for ten years after his marriage, and his name is Taishan. The son never met. When Tarzan grew up, he went to find his father.

One day, Lu Ban put a beam on a large temple, and onlookers were amazed by his superhuman skills. Suddenly, a passing boy with an umbrella in one hand and a burden on his back said, "It's good, it's just a little high." ”

After speaking, Lu Ban followed the sound and looked, only to see that this young man had clear eyebrows, dignified appearance, and extraordinary bearing, and was secretly surprised in his heart, thinking that this young man would definitely surpass him, he couldn't help but feel jealous, and picked up a wooden stick and threw it, hitting the young man's head, and the young man died immediately.

A few days later, Luban went home to visit relatives, the husband and wife were reunited, and his wife asked him if he had seen his son Taishan? It doesn't matter if you don't say it, as soon as you mention it, Lu Ban thinks of the boy who was stoned to death by himself. So he told him about the young man.

After the husband and wife carefully checked their physical features, Lu Ban knew that the young man who died unjustly was his son Taishan, and sighed: "Alas! I don't know Tarzan with my eyes!

What's the use of keeping this blindness? ”

Let's say it, Lu Ban immediately gouged out his left eye. From then on, Lu Ban worked with one eye, and he was no longer jealous and conservative.

It is said that the later carpenters were moved by the spirit of Lu Ban to know his mistakes and change them, and in order to commemorate Lu Ban, he always closed one eye when checking the straightness of the wood, and it has been passed down to this day.

The "Taishan" in Tarzan refers to the name of Luban's apprentice. According to legend, there was a man named Taishan, who was the apprentice of Lu Ban, a famous carpenter in ancient times. Because he always likes ingenuity, he troubled his master, and in order to maintain the reputation of "Banmen", Lu Ban resolutely resigned from Mount Tai.

Lu Ban is a native of Lu in the Spring and Autumn Period, surnamed Ji, Gong Yi, and the word Yizhi.
