During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a painter named Wen Tong who was good at painting bamboo. He planted bamboos in front of and behind the house. Regardless of the four seasons, weather, and time, he would carefully observe the growth and changes of the bamboos, such as the length and thickness of the bamboo branches, the shape and color of the leaves, and so on. After a long period of observation, he had a clear understanding of the appearance of bamboo in different situations. Every time before he painted, he would have the shape of the bamboo he wanted to paint in his mind. Then, he would quickly start painting, and the bamboo he drew was all realistic and lifelike. Chao Buzhi praised him for his "success in the heart" when he painted bamboo. Later, he came up with the idiom "having a well-thought-out plan", which was often used to describe having a comprehensive consideration and plan in his heart before doing anything.

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped.

Grade 13 Short Idiom Story

Here are some short idiom stories suitable for third years: ** Mencius 'mother moved three times ** When Mencius was three years old, his father passed away. He and his mother lived near the cemetery at first, and Mencius often saw funerals. Worried that it would affect his studies, Mother Meng moved to a place near the market. However, the scene of slaughtering pigs and selling meat in the market was not conducive to his studies, so she moved to a place near the school.

He found that the rich man next door lit candles every night. The room was very bright, so he secretly chiseled a small hole in the wall and used the light from the small hole to study hard. Later, he became a very knowledgeable person. This idiom refers to trying to study hard. ** I have a plan ** The Song Dynasty painter Wen Yuke was especially good at painting bamboos. The bamboos he painted were vivid and lifelike. In order to draw bamboo well, he planted a lot of bamboo in front of and behind the house, carefully observing the shape and changes of bamboo in the four seasons. Therefore, every time he painted, he already had a vivid and realistic image of bamboo in his mind. This idiom is used to indicate that one has ample preparation and assurance before doing something. ** Practice makes perfect ** Chen Yaozi of the Song Dynasty shot an arrow through a thin branch. Just as he was feeling smug, an old man selling oil next to him placed a copper coin on the mouth of the oil gourd. He scooped a spoonful of oil and poured it down from a high place. The oil passed through the small hole in the copper coin and flowed into the oil gourd. Chen Yaozi was very surprised. The old man said that practice made perfect. This idiom means that once you are familiar with something, you will get the hang of it. ** Waiting for the rabbit ** There was a farmer in the State of Song who was working in the fields when a rabbit ran into a tree stump in the field and broke its neck.

Because many people said so, he believed it. Later, someone reminded him that the school would not make such a sudden decision.

Idiom story

Idiom stories were a form of literature with rich cultural implications. They described the origin, meaning, and usage of an idiom by telling a short story. These stories were often based on historical events, famous people's stories, myths and legends, or folk tales. For example, the story of " Grind a Needle with an Iron Pestle " was about Li Bai who did not like to study when he was young and often played truant. One day, he saw an old woman grinding a thick iron pestle into an embroidery needle. The old woman's perseverance made Li Bai feel ashamed. From then on, he studied hard to become a poet. This idiom meant that as long as there was perseverance, one could succeed. " Dances upon hearing the rooster " referred to Zu Ti and Liu Kun of the Jin Dynasty. They were ambitious. In order to serve the country, they got up every day after the rooster crowed to practice their swordsmanship. No matter the weather, they never stopped. In the end, they became all-rounded talents who were both capable of literature and martial arts. This idiom described people who worked hard to achieve something and people with lofty aspirations to cheer up in time. The phrase " mend the fold after a sheep is lost " originated from the " Strategy of the Warring States ". A minister of the State of Chu, Zhuang Xin, pointed out to King Xiang of Chu the danger of indulging in pleasure and neglecting the state affairs. The meaning was to find a way to remedy the problem after it had gone wrong to prevent further losses. There was also the phrase " Great wisdom looks foolish ", which meant that people with great wisdom looked stupid, while people with wisdom were extremely self-restrained and did not show their talents. This was from Su Shi's " Congratulations on the Retiring of Young Master Ouyang." These idiom stories had a very good educational significance. They could be used in Chinese and history teaching in middle schools, and they could also be used as extra-cursory reading materials for people to read during leisure time, so as to enrich their knowledge and increase their wisdom in a relaxed atmosphere.

Buddhist idiom, four-word idiom story

Here are some Buddhist idioms: ** Flowers ** During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang, Buddhism flourished. Emperor Wu of Liang took the lead in praying to the gods and worshiping Buddha, vigorously building temples, and even hiring ancient Indian monks to preach in China, translate Buddhist scriptures, and train Chinese disciples. The atmosphere of preaching was extremely prosperous. In order to promote Buddhism, Buddhists made up many legends. Among them, Master Yunguang's speech moved the heavens, and flowers fell from the sky one after another, which was surprising. Originally, this idiom was used to describe a person's speech that was full of sound and color and was extremely pleasant to the ears. However, in the Song Dynasty, the original Taoist monk compiled the Jingde Chuandeng Record, which recorded the stories of Zen masters and disciples. It mentioned that one must truly understand Buddhism and object to talking too much. Therefore, this idiom gradually evolved into a more exaggerated and unrealistic idiom, becoming a derogatory idiom. ** Borrow flowers to offer Buddha ** This idiom came from the Karma Sutra of the Past and Present. In the story, when the Burning Lamp Buddha was alive, the Buddha was a Brahmin named Cloud Boy. When Dipankara Buddha came to Lotus City, all the people in the city went to offer sacrifices. Little Cloud also wanted to offer lotus flowers as offerings, but all the lotus flowers in the city had been bought. Later on, a woman gave the lotus she used to support Little Daoist Yun. Little Cloud Child took the lotus to the place of the Buddha and scattered the seven lotus flowers on the Buddha. The lotus flowers turned into a canopy on the top of the Buddha. The Cloud Child draped his leather coat and hair over the mud road where the Burning Lamp Buddha passed by. Because of these merits and virtues, Dipankara Buddha bestowed upon Little Cloud the title of Sakyamuni, saying that he would attain the path of Buddha in the future. Now, this idiom was used to describe doing a favor for someone else's things. ** Goddess Scatters Flowers ** From the Vimalakirti Sutra. The story goes that there was a heavenly maiden in the Vimalakirti room. When she saw that all the adults were listening to the Dharma, she appeared and scattered Tianhua (flowers) on all the Bodhisattvas and the eldest disciple. When the flowers fell on all the Bodhisattvas, they fell, but when they fell on the eldest disciple, they stuck to him and did not fall. Later, it was often described as throwing things or snowing heavily. ** True colors ** It was originally a Buddhist saying. Master Huineng of the Tang Dynasty was the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. His family was poor when he was young and he did not go to school. At the age of 24, he was enlightened when he heard people chanting Buddhist scriptures while selling firewood. He went to Dongchan Temple in Huangmei County to study Buddhism with Master Hongren, the fifth ancestor of Zen. Hongren wanted to choose an heir and let his disciples do gatha. At that time, Shen Xiu wrote,"The body is a bodhi tree, the heart is a mirror platform; always wipe the Buddha, do not let it stir up dust." Everyone praised him, but Hongren knew that he had not seen his true nature. After Huineng heard Shenxiu's gatha, he recited,"Bodhi is not a tree, and a mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the world, so how can there be dust?" The "original appearance" here originally referred to the human nature, and later it was used as a metaphor for the original appearance. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!" The novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
