In the poem, there are two lines like this: "In the deep snow in the village before last night, several branches opened.
After it was written, he felt very satisfied. A man named Zheng Gu, after seeing the poem written by Qi already, thought that the meaning of the poem had not been exhausted.
So, after much thought and deliberation, he changed these two lines to read: In the deep snow of the former village, a branch bloomed last night.

2. Four-word story idioms(a) Iron and mortar grinding needle allusion Li Bai, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, did not like to study when he was a child, often skipped school and went to the street to wander.
One day, Li Bai didn't go to school again and wandered around the streets, unknowingly arriving at the outskirts of the city. Warm sunshine, happy birds, swaying with the wind flowers and grasses make Li Bai sigh, "such a good weather, if all day in the house reading more meaningless?" Walking, in front of a broken thatched cottage, sitting a full head of white hair of the old woman, is grinding a stick-like thick pestle and mortar.
Li Bai walked over, "Granny, what are you doing?" "I'm going to grind this pestle into an embroidery needle. " The old woman raised her head and smiled at Li Bai, then lowered her head again and continued grinding.
"An embroidery needle?" Li Bai asked again, "Is it an embroidery needle for sewing clothes?" "Of course!" "But the pestle and mortar is so thick, when will it be ground into a fine embroidery needle?" The old woman asked Li Bai rhetorically, "A drop of water can pierce a stone, and the Foolish Lord can move mountains, so why can't an iron mortar and pestle be sharpened into an embroidery needle?" "But you are so old?" "As long as I put in more effort than others, there is nothing I cannot do." The old woman's words made Li Bai ashamed, so he went back and never skipped school again.
The daily study was also especially hard, and finally became a famous poet. Interpretation No matter what you do, as long as you have perseverance, you will surely succeed, and your efforts will not fail you.
If our children are serious, hardworking and persistent in their studies, they will have no problem in getting good grades. (ii) Winking at the cock Allusion Zu Ti of the Jin Dynasty was an open-minded man with great ambitions.
But when he was a child, he was a naughty boy who didn't like to read. Into the youth, he realized that his own knowledge of the poor, deep sense of not reading in order to serve the country, and then read up.
He widely read books, serious study of history, so he was motivated to read books. He widely read books, seriously study history, from which he drew a wealth of knowledge, learning has grown greatly.
He had been in and out of Luoyang, the capital several times, and those who came into contact with him said that Zu Ti was a talented person who could assist the emperor in governing the country. When Zu Ti was 24 years old, he was recommended to become a government official, but he didn't agree to do so, and continued to study tirelessly.
Later, Zu Ti and his childhood friend, Liu Kun, became the head of Si Zhou. He and Liu Kun have deep feelings, not only often lie in the same bed, sleep with the same quilt, but also have the **** the same lofty ideals: to build a career, revitalize the state of Jin, and become a pillar of the country.
Once, in the middle of the night, Zu Ti heard the rooster's crow in his sleep, he kicked Liu Kun woke up, and said to him: "Other people think that it is unlucky to hear the rooster crowing in the middle of the night, I don't think so, why don't we just hear the rooster crowing in the future, and then get up to practice sword how?" Liu Kun readily agreed. So they got up every day after the cock crowed to practice sword, sword light flying, sword sound clanging.
Spring and winter, cold and summer, never stop. After a long period of hard study and training, they finally became capable of writing and fighting, and were able to write well and lead troops to victory.
Zu Ti was appointed as the General of Zhenxi, realizing his wish to serve the country; Liu Kun became the governor, and was in charge of the military of the three states of Jin, Ji, and You, giving full play to his literary talent and martial arts skills.
The idiom of "Winking at the rooster" describes a person who is enterprising, and it is also a metaphor for a person who has the will to make up his mind in time. （This story is from the "Strategies of the Warring States" (战国策).
During the Warring States period, there was a minister of the State of Chu named Zhuang Xin, who said to King Xiang of Chu one day: "When you are in the palace, there is a state marquis on your left, and a summer marquis on your right; and when you go out, the king of Yanling and the king of Shouxiang are always with you. You and these four people specialize in luxury and pleasure, regardless of state affairs, Ying (the capital of Chu, in present-day Jiangling County, Hubei Province, north) must be in danger!" When King Xiang heard this, he was very unhappy and scolded angrily, "Are you senile? Are you deliberately saying these sinister words to confuse people?" Zhuang Xin replied unhurriedly, "I really feel that things must come to this point, and do not dare to deliberately say that Chu has any misfortune.
If you keep favoring this man, Chu will surely perish. Since you don't believe me, please allow me to go to Zhao to hide for a while and see how things will really turn out."
Zhuang Xin went to Zhao for five months, but Qin really sent troops to invade Chu, and the king was forced to go into exile in Yangcheng (northwest of Xixian, Henan Province).
......"
This is a very meaningful story, only know how to enjoy, do not know how to do things, the result is bound to be a tragic failure no doubt.
For example, a businessman made a mistake in estimating the development of things, and made a rash move, and fell into a situation of failure. But he was not discouraged, patiently think things over again, from this mistake to learn a lesson, that "mending the sheep", start from scratch, it is not too late! （According to the ancient Indian Buddhist scriptures, there was a small country in India with a king named King Mirror.
He believed in Shakyamuni's Buddhism, and every day he worshiped Buddha and recited scriptures, very pious. However, the country was popular with a lot of deities and witchcraft, most of the subjects were confused by their sermons, and the people were confused, right and wrong were not clear, which was very unfavorable to the governance of the country.
The Mirror King wanted his subjects to be Buddhist, so he came up with an idea: to educate and guide them by using the method of the blind man feeling the elephant. The Mirror King instructed his ministers to say, "You find some blind men who are completely blind and come to the king's city."
The envoy quickly gathered a group of blind men and led them to the palace. The messenger entered the palace and reported to the Mirror King, "Your Majesty, the blind men you ordered to be found have now been brought to the front of the palace."
The Mirror King said, "You will lead the blind men to the Elephant Garden early tomorrow morning, so that each of them can only touch one part of the elephant's body, and then immediately bring them to the square in front of the palace." The next morning, the Mirror King called all his ministers and tens of thousands of commoners to gather in the square in front of the royal palace, and the boiling people exchanged words, who did not know what important thing the king was about to announce.
In a short time, the messenger arrived leading the blind men.
