5 super smart limerick stories that must be told to your children

Many truths have been wisely explained by our ancestors. The Ten Most Famous Poems of Xin Qiji, The Water Dragon Ode, and the complete collection of Xin Qiji\’s poems in PDF, 5 limerick stories, tell you the wisdom of the five great ancestors: The sky is not too high, but the human heart is the highest. 01. Wang Po made wine. In ancient times, there was a Wang Po who made a living by making wine. There was a Taoist priest who often stayed at her house and drank hundreds of bottles of wine without giving her any money. Grandma Wang didn\’t care. One day, the Taoist priest said, \”I drank so much wine from you and I don\’t have any money to give you, so I will dig a well for you.\” After the well was dug, all the wine came out, and Wang Po naturally became rich. Later, the Taoist priest asked Wang Po if the wine was good. Wang Po said that the wine was good, but there was no lees used to feed the pigs. After hearing this, the Taoist smiled and wrote a limerick on the wall: The sky is not high, but the human heart is the highest. The well water is sold as wine, and there is no lees. Since then, no more wine has come out of that well. Lao Tzu said: \”Being contented is not humiliating, knowing stopping is not dangerous, and can last for a long time.\” This means that those who know contentment are not humiliated, and those who know enough is not dangerous, and can last for a long time. When a person should be content but is not, he will become a slave of greed. The most important thing in life is to simplify the needs of life. For example, if you keep your desires to a minimum, focus your effective energy on the right desires, such as keeping healthy, taking care of your family, caring for your friends, and pursuing delicious food. Only by indulging in various desires to the point of being unable to extricate ourselves can we obtain true happiness in life. 02. The No. 1 Scholar contends for success. A boat carries two No. 1 scholars in civil and military affairs and a pregnant woman. Because they were both the champions of the dynasty, neither the civil or military champions were convinced by the other, so they started bragging during the conversation. Wen Zhuangyuan recited a limerick: My pen is sharp, my inkstone is round. Three good articles, one of them won the top prize. After chanting, Wen Zhuangyuan stared at Wu Zhuangyuan arrogantly. Not to be outdone, Wu Zhuangyuan also chanted a poem: My arrows are sharp and my bows are round. Immediately shoot three arrows and get the top prize in martial arts. The attitude of the two No. 1 Scholars can be described as arrogant, boasting about their literary and martial arts. Wen Zhuangyuan said that he was good at writing, and Wu Zhuangyuan said that he was good at using bows and arrows. At this time, the pregnant woman watching the excitement suddenly said: My toes are pointed, my belly is round. One child gave birth to two sons, both civil and military champions. The two champions were speechless after hearing this. The pregnant woman\’s poem is a mockery of the two of them. She brags about her talents. What\’s the big deal? Aren’t you all born in your mother’s womb? People are vain animals who hope to be recognized by others. When this vanity takes the form of self-aggrandizement and self-aggrandizement, it can turn into arrogance. Wang Yangming said: \”The most serious illness in life is just the word \’arrogance\’.\” The reason why arrogance ranks first among the seven deadly sins is because lustful people know that they are lustful, greedy people know that they are greedy, and they can still know it, and arrogant people know that they are greedy. People never feel that they are arrogant. 03. The scholar was drunk. Once upon a time, a scholar went to his father-in-law\’s house to celebrate his birthday. Because everyone was trying to persuade him to drink, he couldn\’t resist, so he got extremely drunk. The sister-in-law helped him go to the study to rest. Unexpectedly, the confused scholar thought it was his wife, so he said a few drunken words that made people blush, and then fell asleep. My sister-in-law was very angry after hearing this. Before she left, she wrote a poem on the paper on the desk: I helped you sleep with kindness, but you dared to make fun of me. He is a scholar, so it makes no sense. After a while, my brother-in-law came into the room to pour tea and saw on the tableThere was a poem, so I picked it up and read it. After reading it, I couldn\’t help but laugh, so I wrote another poem: Let him get drunk when he is drunk, why should he help him sleep? When a cat sees a fish, how can he not taste it? Later, the scholar woke up and saw a poem on the table. After reading it, he felt extremely ashamed. He knew that he must have lost his temper after drinking and offended his sister-in-law. He also laughed at his brother-in-law, so he reciprocated the poem: Drunk as mud, holding his beloved wife in a hazy state. When I woke up, I realized my mistake and it turned out to be my aunt. Just after I finished writing, my mother-in-law came in, saw these three poems, and hurriedly wrote another one with kind words to comfort her: The little girl is ignorant and writes messy words on the paper. We are a family, so why take it seriously. A misunderstanding caused by drunkenness was resolved in such a relaxed and humorous atmosphere, and everyone was happy. Many disasters in the world are caused by misunderstandings. Therefore, communication is the most important thing between people. If people are right, the world will be right. Give others more opportunities to explain, and be more patient in explaining to others, and you will have fewer regrets in life. I don’t ask + you don’t tell = distance I asked + you didn’t tell = estrangement I asked + you said = respect what you want to say + I want to ask = tacit understanding I won’t ask + you said = trust If the heart is close, words and deeds It must be as natural as flowing water; if your heart is alienated, your words and deeds will be as desolate as the trees in autumn. I am not afraid of being separated by the world, I am just afraid that my heart is in the north and south. 04. Heavy Snow in Chang\’an One day in ancient times, heavy snow fell from the sky in Chang\’an City. It was extremely cold. A scholar who had eaten a full meal and came out to digest food saw the snowflakes falling. He became inspired by poetry and blurted out: \”The heavy snow is falling to the ground.\” He just read a sentence, It happened that a promoted official passed by and heard about it. He expressed his gratitude to the emperor for his great kindness and said, \”This is the royal auspiciousness.\” Next to him, a businessman who had made a fortune selling cotton clothes and trousers was so excited that he also added: \”Again. What about the next three years?\” This sentence angered a beggar on the roadside who was dying of cold and hunger. He trembled and cursed: \”Bullshit on your mother!\” Each of these four people from all walks of life made up one sentence. A limerick: The heavy snow is falling to the ground, which is the royal auspiciousness. Why not give it another three years? Damn your motherfucker! Different people, different situations, have different views on the same thing. What you like may be exactly what others hate. The butt determines the head, and the position determines the thinking. A person\’s perspective and standpoint when looking at a problem are limited by his position. His position limits his field of vision, causing him to only see a certain aspect of the problem, and his ability is limited. At this time, he is passive. A person will choose a position and angle that is favorable to his position to discuss a matter of interest. At this time, he is proactive. 05. The rich man recited poems. There used to be a rich man who usually did nothing but liked to recite limericks to show off himself. One day he saw a woodcutter, sweating profusely, walking out of the mountains carrying a load of firewood, and asked him to put down his load and listen to his poetry. He pointed to the load of firewood and chanted: There are trees on the mountain but not firewood. Cut down the trees and turn them into firewood. It would be a lot of trouble to turn it into firewood, so it would be better to grow firewood in the first place. The woodcutter was out of breath from exhaustion. When he heard the rich man\’s poem, his anger rushed to his forehead. He had an idea and recited a poem: The master doesn\’t eat shit when he eats. When the rice goes into the stomach, it turns into shit. It would be too much trouble to turn into shit, it would be better to eat shit in the first place. It is not enough to only look at the results of things and ignore the process of things. Nothing is black and white, and it is too simple to use results to prove whether things are good or bad.Being rude alone can cause harm.
