There is one more among the people"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant"Legend has it that once upon a time a peasant went up the mountain to chop wood, and saw a small snake frozen and stiff, very pitiful. The farmer carried it in his arms and brought it home to feed it.
The little snake slowly grew into a big snake, and when it was able to live, the peasants put it in the stone cave behind the mountain, drank the mountain spring when they were thirsty, and ate wild fruits when they were hungry, and the big snake was naturally very grateful to the peasants. After a few days, a small Ganoderma lucidum grew at the mouth of the stone cave of the big snake. It is carefully guarded and cultivated, and the longer the Ganoderma lucidum grows, the longer it grows, the more magical it becomes.
People want to get it, but because of the protection of the snake, no one dares to come closer. When the emperor knew about this matter, he asked people to post an emperor list around: Whoever can pick this Ganoderma lucidum will be rewarded.
This farmer wants to get.
reward, so he begged the serpent to give him the lingzhi. The serpent agreed to his request, and the peasants offered the lingzhi to the emperor and were rewarded with a batch of gold and silver treasures. After a few more days, the queen's eyes were blind, and the imperial doctor said that only the eyes of the dragon and snake could be cured.
The emperor thought of this farmer who offered Ganoderma lucidum, so he ordered him to gouge out the eyes of the big snake. After promising him that he had done it, he would be made prime minister. The peasant became rich and wanted to be an official, so he came again and begged the serpent to give him an eyeball.
The serpent had no choice but to let him gouge out an eyeball, and the queen's eye was restored.
The peasant became prime minister. After he became the prime minister, he was pampered and enjoyed endless glory and wealth, for fear that he would die one day and leave behind this family fortune. So, I thought of the method of immortality.
I heard that eating the heart of the dragon snake can lead to immortality, so I went to the mountains to find the big snake and asked to give him another heart to fulfill his immortality. When the serpent saw that he was so greedy and insufficient, he opened his mouth and told him to dig it. As soon as the greedy prime minister got closer, he was swallowed by the serpent and never returned.
Ancient allusions and folklore are different. One is to talk about the greed of snakes"The snake swallows the elephant";One is that man is greedy, man is swallowed by snakes"Snake swallowing phase", which is presumably the result of the evolution of oral literary transmission. There is no need to distinguish the authenticity, it is all a metaphor for the lack of greed and the bad end.
Educate people to restrain their desires and not to look forward to the moon with the stars. As the saying goes:"Contentment and happiness".
Of course, this sentence is negative and wrong when used in career, academically, but it has its merits in restraining selfish desires and greed.
The meaning of the snake swallowing the elephant is: The human heart is not enough and the snake swallows the elephant: or for"The snake swallows the elephant"。
Legend has it that there was a snake in Sichuan in ancient times with a big head and a big mouth, so much so that it swallowed an elephant, and it took three years to spit out the bones of the famous place. It is a metaphor for the lack of people's hearts, the insatiable greed for the afternoon, and the inch of the foot, this mountain looks at the mountain high.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Yu Boya, who was proficient in music and rhythm, and had superb piano skills, and was a famous violinist at that time. When Yu Boya was young, he was smart and studious, and he once worshipped a master as a teacher, and his piano skills reached a level, but he always felt that he could not express his feelings about various things in a supernatural manner. When Boya's teacher knew what he was thinking, he took him on a boat to Penglai Island in the East China Sea, so that he could enjoy the scenery of nature and listen to the sound of the waves of the sea.
Boya raised his eyes and looked out, only to see the waves surging and splashing; Seabirds are flying and chirping; The mountains and forests are lush and green, like entering a fairyland. A wonderful feeling arises spontaneously, and the ears seem to be stirring up the harmonious and beautiful ** of nature. He couldn't help but play the piano, the sound turned at will, and the beauty of nature was integrated into the sound of the piano, and Boya experienced an unprecedented realm.
The teacher told him, "You've already learned." ”
Overnight boat trip to Boya. Facing the breeze and bright moon, he had a lot of thoughts, so he played the piano again, and the sound of the piano was melodious, and it gradually got better. Suddenly, I heard someone on the shore shouting.
When Boya heard the sound, he came out of the boat, and saw a woodcutter standing on the shore, and he knew that this man was a bosom friend, so he immediately invited the woodcutter to come on board and played for him with great interest. Boya played a tune in praise of the mountains, and the woodcutter said, "How good!
Majestic and solemn, like the towering Tarzan! When he played the surging waves, the woodcutter said, "How good!
It is vast and vast, as if you see the rolling water and the boundless sea! Boya was excited, and said excitedly: "Bosom friend!
You are truly my bosom friend. "This woodcutter is Zhong Ziqi. Since then, the two have become very good friends.
