关于历史成语故事
成语故事是我国历史的一部分,成语是历史的积淀,每一个成语的背后都有一个含义深远的故事,是我国几千年以来人民智慧的结晶。以下是小编整理历史成语故事,欢迎阅读参考。
塞翁失马
在两个国家的边境上,住着一个老头儿。有一回,老头儿家的一匹马跑丢了。左右邻居知道了,都来安慰老头儿。老头儿并不着急,他说:“这算不得什
么。跑了一匹马,未必不是件好事。”过了几天,跑丢的那匹马自己回来了,还带回来一匹千里马。左右邻居知道了,都来向老头儿道贺。老头儿并不高兴,他说:
“这算不得什么。白得一匹千里马,可能会惹出什么祸事来。”老头儿有个儿子,最喜欢骑马。有一天,他骑着那匹千里马出去玩儿。
马飞奔起
来,他拉不住缰绳,摔下马来,折断了大腿骨。左右邻居听说了这件事,又都来安慰老头儿。老头儿仍旧不着急,他说:“这算不得什么。孩子的大腿骨固然摔断
了,也未必不是件好事。”过了一年,两个国家发生了战争。边境上的年轻人有的被这边拉去当兵,有的被那边拉去当兵,十个倒有九个没回来。那老头儿的儿子因
为脚跛了,没被拉去,因而得到了保全。
“塞翁失马”就是从这个故事来的,通常跟“安知祸福”连在一起用。如果发生了一件坏事情,但是事情发展下去,可能有好的结果,就可以用“塞翁失马”来作比喻。有人遭到了什么不幸通常也用“塞翁失马,安知祸福”来安慰他。
指鹿为马
秦二世时,丞相赵高野心勃勃,日夜盘算着要篡夺皇位。可朝中大臣有多少人能听他摆布,有多少人反对他,他心中没底。于是,他想了一个办法,准备试一试自己的.威信,同时也可以摸清敢于反对他的人。
一天上朝时,赵高让人牵来一只鹿,满脸堆笑地对秦二世说:“陛下,我献给您一匹好马。”秦二世一看,心想:这哪里是马,这分明是一只鹿嘛!便笑着对赵高说:“丞相搞错了,这里一只鹿,你怎么说是马呢?”赵高面不改色心不跳地说:“请陛下看清楚,这的确是一匹千里马。”秦二世又看了看那只鹿,将信将疑地说:“马的头上怎么会长角呢?”赵高一转身,用手指着众大臣,大声说:“陛下如果不信我的话,可以问问众位大臣。”
大臣们都被赵高的一派胡言搞得不知所措,私下里嘀咕:这个赵高搞什么名堂?是鹿是马这不是明摆着吗!当看到赵高脸上露出阴险的笑容,两只眼睛骨碌碌轮流地盯着赵高脸上露出阴险的笑容,两只眼睛骨碌碌轮流地盯着每个人的时候,大臣们忽然明白了他的用意。
一些胆小又有正义感的人都低下头,不敢说话,因为说假话,对不起自己的良心,说真话又怕日后被赵高所害。有些正直的人,坚持认为是说明书而不是马。还有一些平时就紧跟赵高的奸佞之人立刻表示拥护赵高的说法,对皇上说,“这确是一匹千里马!”
事后,赵高通过各种手段把那些不顺从自己的正直大臣纷纷治罪,甚至满门抄斩。
故事出自《史记·秦始皇本纪》。成语“指鹿为马”比喻故意颠倒是非,混淆黑白。
伯乐相马
春秋时期,秦国有个叫孙阳的人,非常善于识别马匹的优劣。于是人们用神话中掌管天马的星官名字伯乐来称呼他。
一次,伯乐路过一个地方,看见一匹很瘦很瘦的马。那匹瘦马拉着一车盐巴,慢慢地向前走着。它越走越慢,已经累得浑身大汗淋漓,几乎走不动了。伯乐乘的马赶上了那匹瘦马拉的盐车。伯乐仔细看了一下,不禁惊叫起来:“唉呀,这是一匹千里马啊。”他立刻跳下了车,脱下自己的袍子盖在瘦马的身上。他为千里马受委屈而难过得痛哭起来。那匹千里马遇到了知音,仰起头来放声嘶叫。那叫声直云霄,好像金石般铿锵动人。

A blessing in disguise
There lived an old man on the border of two countries. Once, the old mans horse was lost. The neighbors came to comfort the old man. The old man was not in a hurry. He said, "its nothing
Yao. Running a horse is not necessarily a good thing. A few days later, the lost horse came back and brought back a horse. The neighbors came to congratulate the old man. The old man was not happy. He said:
"Its nothing. A horse in a thousand miles can cause trouble. The old man had a son who liked to ride a horse. One day, he went out for a ride on the thousand-mile horse.
The horse ran up
He could not pull the REINS, he fell off his horse and broke his leg. The neighbors heard about it, and all came to comfort the old man. The old man was still in a hurry. "its nothing," he said. The babys thighbone is certainly broken
Its not necessarily a bad thing. After a year, two countries went to war. Some of the young men on the border were taken by this side, and some of them were taken to the army, and nine of the ten did not return. The old mans son
He was lame for his feet and was not pulled, so he was saved.
The story comes from the story, which is often used in conjunction with the "blessing of an evil man". If a bad thing happens, but things go on, there may be good results, and we can use the metaphor of "the lost horse". He was comforted by the misfortune of others, and often by the misfortunes of men.
