Stories about employee arrogance

1. The story of Yelang’s arrogance

During the Han Dynasty, there was a very small county in southwest China called Tongzi County. Twenty miles east of Tongzi County, there is a small country called Yelang Kingdom. Although Yelang Kingdom is an independent country, its territory is very small, as big as a small county in China. But the king of Yelang Kingdom is very arrogant and proud! I think my own country is very big, but I don’t know how big the neighboring countries are! Once, the Han Dynasty sent someone to visit the king of Yelang Kingdom. He asked proudly: "Which country is bigger, your Han Dynasty or our Yelang Kingdom?" When the people of the Han Dynasty heard this, they couldn't bear it. I just want to laugh!

From now on, people will use the phrase "Yelang is arrogant" to describe those people who have little knowledge and are arrogant and proud.

According to Han Ban Gu's "Han Shu·Southwestern Yi Biography" After Zhang Qian returned from his mission to the Western Regions, he reported in detail to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty the geographical environment, customs and customs of the Western Regions. Emperor Wu was impressed by Zhang Qian's success in his mission to the Western Regions, which inspired him to be ambitious and asked him to go to the southwest to communicate with the Daxia Kingdom at that time, which is today's Yunnan and Guizhou areas.

Zhang Qian and his party went to Kunming, Dian Kingdom and Yelang. The King of Dian asked Zhang Qian and others: "Compared with us, which one is greater, the Han Dynasty?" Later, when the envoys of the Han Dynasty were drinking with King Yelang, King Yelang also asked the same question: "Which one is greater, the Han Dynasty or Yelang? ?"

Zhang Qian knew in his heart that Yelang's territory was only as large as that of the Han Dynasty. But King Yelang didn't go out because of the high mountains and dense forests. He thought Yelang was a big country in the world.

"Yelang is arrogant" is a metaphor for being ignorant and arrogant.

2. Fables describing pride and arrogance

1. "The Proud Pheasant"

Selected from "Aesop's Fables".

Pheasant Tianshan is beautiful, covered with colorful feathers, shining brightly and dazzlingly under the sunlight, which is amazing. Pheasant is also very proud of its beautiful feathers and cherishes its beauty very much.

When it is walking in the mountains, as long as it comes to the water and sees its own shadow in the water, it will dance gracefully, and while dancing, it will proudly appreciate its unique dance reflected in the water.

When Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao was in power, someone presented him with a pheasant from the south. Cao Cao was very happy and summoned famous musicians to play beautiful music for him so that the pheasants could dance and sing.

The musicians played and played hard, but the pheasant didn't buy it at all, turned a deaf ear, and neither sang nor danced. Cao Cao's men brought delicious food and placed it in front of the pheasant. The pheasant didn't even look at it and walked around listlessly with its head hanging down.

In this way, no matter how hard everyone tried, they still couldn't make the pheasant dance. Cao Cao was very disappointed and angry, and scolded his men: "There are so many of you, and you can't even deal with a pheasant, how can you do big things!"

Cao Cao had a very beloved little son named Called Cao Chong. Cao Chong has been smart since he was a child, and he is well-read and knowledgeable. At this time, he used his brain and had an idea, so he stepped forward and said to Cao Cao: "Father, I heard that pheasants are always proud of their feathers, so when they saw If you see your own reflection in the water, you will dance to appreciate your beauty. Why not ask someone to bring a big mirror in front of the pheasant, so that the pheasant will automatically dance when it looks at the reflection. ." After hearing this, Cao Cao applauded and immediately asked someone to bring the largest mirror in the palace and place it in front of the pheasant. The pheasant walked slowly to the mirror and saw his own incomparable beauty at a glance, which was much clearer than what he saw in the water.

It first flapped its wings and chirped excitedly at itself in the mirror for a long time, then twisted its body, stretched its steps, and danced gracefully. Cao Cao was stunned by the pheasant's charming dance. He clapped his hands repeatedly and praised him so much that he forgot to ask someone to take the mirror away.

The poor pheasant, admiring himself in the mirror, tirelessly sang and danced endlessly in front of the mirror. Finally, it exhausted its last bit of strength and fell to the ground dead.

The pheasant is indeed beautiful, but its vanity is so strong that it is fooled by others.

We cannot let vanity and competitiveness overcome our reason, otherwise we will suffer a disastrous defeat.

3. Idiom stories about satirizing those who are arrogant

Yelang is arrogant

Source: "Historical Records·Biographies of Southwest Yi": "The king of Dian and the Han envoy said: 'Which Han is bigger than me?' The same is true for Yelang Hou. Because the roads are not clear, each thinks he is the master of a state, not knowing how vast the Han is."

Interpretation of Yelang: ancient times The name of the ethnic group and country refers to the local political power established by ethnic minorities in southwest my country from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties. Yelang's territory was very small. Marquis Yelang had never been to the Han Dynasty and thought that his territory was larger than that of the Han Dynasty. Later, "Yelang is arrogant" is used as a metaphor for arrogance.

Story:

From the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were many ethnic minority tribal alliances living in southwest my country. The larger one was known as "Yelang" and was mainly distributed in the western part of Guizhou today. , the northern area. At that time, both men and women in Yelang wore their hair in high buns, exposed their right arms when working, and lived a primitive farming life.

"Huayang Guozhi" records: Legend has it that a woman was washing clothes by Dunshui (now Beipanjiang River in Guizhou). Suddenly she saw a three-section bamboo floating on the water, and there was a cry inside. When she cut it open, it turned out to be a bamboo. Take the boy back and raise him. The boy grew up to become the leader of the tribe. Known as the Bamboo King. Later history books stated that King Yelang's surname was Zhu.

In the late Warring States period, the Qin State captured Ba and Qianzhong (today's Sichuan and Guizhou areas) in the west of the Chu State. In order to counterattack the Qin State, King Qingxiang of Chu sent General Zhuang Qi to lead his troops westward along the Yangtze River to regain the large area of ??land occupied by the Qin State. Zhuang Qi's battle went very smoothly. Not only did he recapture central Guizhou in one fell swoop, he also took advantage of the victory and marched straight into Dianchi Lake (now Kunming, Yunnan). The surrounding tribal alliances such as Yelang and Qielan surrendered and submitted to Chu. Zhuang Qi was about to lead his troops back to Chu. Unexpectedly, the Qin army counterattacked and occupied central Guizhou again, cutting off Zhuang Qi's return route. Zhuang Qi had no choice but to retreat to Dian Lake, and was elected as the king of Dian by Yelang, Qielan and other tribal leaders.

After Qin Shihuang unified China, he sent people to build roads leading to Yelang and the remote areas in the southwest, set up counties and counties there, and sent officials to govern. Yelang and other places were officially included in the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Soon, the Qin Dynasty perished, and the newly-established Han Dynasty was busy quelling civil strife and dealing with the border troubles of the Huns in the north, and had no strength to take care of the far southwest region. As a result, Yelang and other places broke away from the jurisdiction of the central government and called themselves princes one after another, becoming local separatist regimes.

At this time, Duotong, the leader of Yelang, called himself Marquis of Yelang. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, Yelang Hou Duotong never traveled far. There were more than a dozen tribes near Yelang, but none were as big as Yelang. Duotong believed that Yelang was the largest country in the world. One day, Duotong and his entourage were traveling on horseback. He raised his whip and pointed ahead and said: "Look! This boundless territory. Is there any country bigger than it?" The flattering cronies responded and said: "What the king said is, what can be done in the world?" Bigger than Yelang!" When the monarchs and ministers came to the foot of the mountain, they all looked up at the mountains in front of them and said, "The towering mountains are rising out of the clouds. Can you find another mountain as tall as this in the world?" The followers said in unison: "Absolutely. No way!" They swam to the river again, and Duotong dismounted and said, "The surging river is long and wide. This must be the longest and largest river in the world." The followers all said, "That's no wonder!" After passing this. After this trip, Yelanghou became even more arrogant.

At this time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was already on the throne, and the country was unprecedentedly powerful. In 122 BC, Emperor Wu sent an envoy to Shendu (that is, ancient India; Shen, pronounced yuan). Passing by Yelang. Yelang Hou was isolated from the Central Plains for a long time and did not understand the situation of the Han Dynasty, so he asked the envoy: "Which one is bigger, Han or Yelang?" When the Han envoy heard Duotong ask such a question, he smiled and said: "The Han Dynasty's There are dozens of prefectures and counties, and Yelang's territory is not as big as a single county in the Han Dynasty. Which one do you think is bigger?" After hearing this, Duotong couldn't help but be stunned. In the same year, Lu Jia in the southern Guangdong region conspired to launch a rebellion. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decided to crusade and sent troops from Ba, Shu, Yelang and other places to join the battle. After the pacification of southern Guangdong, Duotong immediately surrendered to the Han Dynasty and was named King Yelang. Yelang returned to the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Source: "Zuo Zhuan·The Second Year of Chenggong": "The Marquis of Qi said: 'Yu Gujian destroyed this and went to Chao Shi!' He galloped without hesitation. "

Interpretation: refers to the enemy in front of you; Chao (zhao, move) food: eat breakfast. "To destroy this morning meal" means to eat breakfast after destroying the enemy in front of you. It describes the determination to fight and the eagerness to destroy the enemy.

Story:

In the spring of 589 BC, the Qi army attacked the northern border of Lu, occupied most of the land, and then defeated the reinforcements of Wei. Qi Qinggong, who commanded this battle, was very proud.

Both Lu and Wei sent envoys to Jin for help. On the order of Duke Jinggong of Jin, General Queke of Jin led 800 chariots and went to ask for help. On the way, they also joined the armies of Lu, Wei and other countries, which were vast and powerful. However, Qi Qinggong relied on his recent military victory and did not take Jin, Lu and other reinforcements seriously. When the armies of the two sides met in Qudi, Qi Qinggong was eager for a decisive battle and wanted a quick victory, so he issued a letter of war to the Jin army and agreed to fight in the morning the next morning. Qi Qinggong finally made it to the early morning of the next day. After being fully dressed, he got on the chariot and commanded the Qi army to enter the position. The Jin army was also ready for battle at this time and was ready.

Qi Qinggong did not wait for his formation to be ready, he beat the war drum and waved his army to attack. He loudly called: "Warriors of Qi State, kill! After defeating the enemy in front of you, let's have a nice breakfast again!" The first offensive of the Qi Army was extremely fierce, and the chariots surged forward like a tide. The sword shot out like rapid rain. The Jin army resisted tenaciously. The commander of the Jin army, Ke Ke, had an arrow lodged in his arm and screamed in surprise. Although the charioteer Jie Zhang was also wounded by an arrow, he took the drumstick from Chu Ke and beat the drum vigorously to encourage the Jin soldiers to rush forward desperately.

The Qi army's position began to loosen. The Jin army attacked more fiercely, and the Qi army was defeated one after another. Qi Qinggong, protected by his master Pang Choufu, fled in a chariot. He was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, thinking that he could "destroy this court food". As a result, he never had time to return to the camp to have breakfast, and ended in a disastrous defeat.

Arrogant

Story:

Qu Xia of Chu State was a general who was incompetent but very proud. In the spring of 701 BC, Qu Xia led the Chu army to fight against the coalition forces of Yun, Sui, Jiao, Zhou, Liao and other vassal states in Pu Sao. Because the opponent's allies were numerous and powerful, Qu Xia was a little panicked. He wanted to ask the King of Chu to send more troops. General Men Lian opposed this, believing that although there were many enemy allies, their hearts were not united and their fighting spirit was weak. As long as Yun's resistance was defeated, the entire alliance would fall apart. He suggested concentrating his forces to quickly attack Pu Sao. Qu Xia finally adopted Men Lian's suggestion and attacked Pu Sao, and he won a complete victory. However, Qu Xia took the credit of others as his own, so he became proud and thought he was a victorious general. From then on, he ignored any enemy.

Two years later, the King of Chu sent Qu Xia to lead troops to attack the Luo Kingdom. On the day of his departure, Qu Xia, fully clothed and neatly dressed, said goodbye to the officials who were seeing him off, then majestically boarded a gorgeous chariot and left. Doc Bobbi attended the farewell. After Qu Xia left, Dou Bobi said to the charioteer: "Mo Ao will be defeated this time when he sends troops! Look at his arrogance, can he still command the battle calmly and correctly?" Dou Bobi thought more and more. Feeling that something was wrong, he ordered him to drive to the palace and ask to see the King of Chu. He suggested that the King of Chu should add more troops to Qu Xia, but the King of Chu did not agree.

The King of Chu returned to the inner palace and talked to his wife Deng Man about the suggestion of fighting Bobi. Deng Man said: "Dou Dafu means that the king should pay attention to General Qu's mood. Since the Battle of Pu Sao, he has become very proud and willful. If he does not warn him to restrain himself, he will definitely suffer defeat." King Chu He also felt justified and sent people to pursue Qu Xia. But the outgoing army had already gone very far, and the envoy couldn't catch up, so let it go. Besides, Qu Xia became even more arrogant when he reached the front line. He forgot that the Battle of Pusao was won by adopting Dou Lian's correct opinions. He actually ordered that "those who dare to remonstrate shall be severely punished" in the army. He was arbitrary and arbitrary, and he continued to do so! When the Chu army crossed the Yan River, there was no order at all. The soldiers rushed to ferry the boats with guns, just like they were in a rout. By the time they arrived at the gates of Luo Kingdom's city, the other party had already prepared an army and was waiting for them. But Qu Xia didn't care and allowed the troops to camp anywhere without taking any precautions. The Luo army united with Lu Rong's army and launched a fierce counterattack. The Chu army was immediately defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

Qu Xia rode a chariot and fled in embarrassment. The arrogant look he had when he set off for the battle had long since disappeared. When he fled to a place called Huanggu in Chu State, he found that he was alone. He was so sad that he felt that he no longer had the face to go back to the capital to see the king and his elders, so he used a belt on a half-dead tree. Ended his life.

Pu Songling, a famous writer in the early Qing Dynasty, wrote in "Strange Stories from a Liaozhai Studio·Jiang Fei": "The raging clouds driving the cannon carts made Yelang arrogant. Relying on the greedy wolf's unfavorable spirit, he regarded He Bo as the most respected person." It was written in Guangxu. The twenty-fourth chapter of "Flowers of Evil", a masterpiece of late Qing Dynasty novels, writes: "The hungry tiger wants to fight, and the night man is arrogant. If our country does not launch a big attack, show off its power, and rely on empty words from various countries to dissuade him, how can he be willing to submit?" "
