导语：中国最好的故事在县城，这些故事生猛、真实，带着土腥气，讲述时不需要矫饰，这些故事有世俗功利的一面，但牵扯到骨与血的时候，却一点儿也不掺假。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的作文素材，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

我每次回家，都觉得家乡县城越来越像贾樟柯镜头里的汾阳，充满了故事。

这故事由青春、记忆以及勃兴的当下组成，这故事散落在县城街道、新老建筑以及一张张熟悉的面孔上。

回到老家的第二天，县城飘起了小雨，我牵着五岁女儿的小手，漫无目的地闲逛着。平时不爱走路的她，那天没有“求抱抱”，而是安静地跟随我走着，这个城市对她而言，仿佛没有一点陌生感。

我觉得这是一件挺神气也挺神奇的事。

自己也不曾想到，会有一天牵着女儿的手，走在少年时呼喊过、狂奔过的街道上。出生在别的城市的女儿，在她父亲的家乡，会留下什么样的记忆?她长大之后，是否还会带着她的孩子来这里，是否还会体会到安宁、自在的气息?

我见到了弟弟妹妹们，当年他们都是孩子，现在也有了自己的孩子。

我见到了家人、亲人、同学、朋友，见到了县城里的官员、社会上的小混混，见到了出租车司机、饭馆老板、卖煎饼的、卖水果的，见到了城管车、摆摊小贩……

不管认识不认识，不管见面亲热不亲热，我都是一个外来人，是待几天后要走的，他们的话里透着客气;吃饭埋单的时候，我永远没有机会，因为总是有人说，你是客，远来的都是客。

有一段时间，我也一度这么认为，可今年心里就悬了一个大大的问号，我怎么就是客了呢?

这个县城过往的故事满满地塞在我的记忆里，有的写了出来，有的不舍得写。

中国最好的故事在县城，这些故事生猛、真实，带着土腥气，讲述时不需要矫饰，这些故事有世俗功利的一面，但牵扯到骨与血的时候，却一点儿也不掺假。

小城依然年轻，而我对它有了依恋和了解的愿望，是因为我开始变老了。

中国古代民间四大传说故事：《牛郎织女》《孟姜女哭长城》《梁山伯与祝英台》《白蛇传》。

一、梁山伯与祝英台

从前有个姓祝的地主，人称祝员外，他的女儿祝英台不仅美丽大方，而且非常的聪明好学。但由于古时候女子不能进学堂读书，祝英台只好日日倚在窗栏上，望着大街上身背着书箱来来往往的读书人，心里羡慕极了!难道女子只能在家里绣花吗?为什么我不能去上学?她突然反问自己：对啊!我为什么就不能上学呢?

想到这儿，祝英台赶紧回到房间，鼓起勇气向父母要求：“爹，娘，我要到杭州去读书。我可以穿男人的衣服，扮成男人的样子，一定不让别人认出来，你们就答应我吧!”祝员外夫妇开始不同意，但经不住英台撒娇哀求，只好答应了。

第二天一清早，天刚蒙蒙亮，祝英台就和丫鬟扮成男装，辞别父母，带着书箱，兴高采烈地出发去杭州了。

到了学堂的第一天，祝英台遇见了一个叫梁山伯的男同学，学问出众，人品也十分优秀。她想：这么好的人，要是能天天在一起，一定会学到很多东西，也一定会很开心的。而梁山伯也觉得与她很投缘，有一种一见如故的感觉。于是，他们常常一起诗呀文呀谈得情投意合，冷呀热呀相互关心体贴，促膝并肩，两小无猜。后来，两人结拜为兄弟，更是时时刻刻，形影不离。

春去秋来，一晃三年过去了，学年期满，该是打点行装、拜别老师、返回家乡的时候了。同窗共烛整三载，祝英台已经深深爱上了她的梁兄，而梁山伯虽不知祝英台是女生，但也对她十分倾慕。他俩恋恋不舍地分了手，回到家后，都日夜思念着对方。几个月后，梁山伯前往祝家拜访，结果令他又惊又喜。原来这时，他见到的祝英台，已不再是那个清秀的小书生，而是一位年轻美貌的大姑娘。再见的那一刻，他们都明白了彼此之间的感情，早已是心心相印。

此后，梁山伯请人到祝家去求亲。可祝员外哪会看得上这穷书生呢，他早已把女儿许配给了有钱人家的少爷马公子。梁山伯顿觉万念俱灰，一病不起，没多久就死去了。

听到梁山伯去世的消息，一直在与父母抗争以反对包办婚姻的祝英台反而突然变得异常镇静。她套上红衣红裙，走进了迎亲的花轿。迎亲的队伍一路敲锣打鼓，好不热闹!路过梁山伯的坟前时，忽然间飞沙走石，花轿不得不停了下来。只见祝英台走出轿来，脱去红装，一身素服，缓缓地走到坟前，跪下来放声大哭，霎时间风雨飘摇，雷声大作，“轰”的一声，坟墓裂开了，祝英台似乎又见到了她的梁兄那温柔的面庞，她微笑着纵身跳了进去。接着又是一声巨响，坟墓合上了。这时风消云散，雨过天晴，各种野花在风中轻柔地摇曳，一对美丽的蝴蝶从坟头飞出来，在阳光下自由地翩翩起舞。

二、牛郎织女

牛郎只有一头老牛、一张犁，他每天刚亮就下地耕田，回家后还要自己做饭洗衣，日子过得十分辛苦。谁料有一天，奇迹发生了!牛郎干完活回到家，一进家门，就看见屋子里被打扫得干干净净，衣服被洗得清清爽爽，桌子上还摆着热腾腾、香喷喷的饭菜。牛郎吃惊得瞪大了眼睛，心想：这是怎么回事?神仙下凡了吗?不管了，先吃饭吧。

此后，一连几天，天天如此，牛郎耐不住性子了，他一定要弄个水落石出。这天，牛郎象往常一样，一大早就出了门，其实，他走了几步就转身回来了，没进家门，而是找了个隐蔽的地方躲了起来，偷偷地观察着。果然，没过多久，来了一位美若天仙的姑娘，一进门就忙着收拾屋子、做饭，甭提多勤劳了!牛郎实在忍不住了，站了出来道：“姑娘，请问你为什么要来帮我做家务呢?”那姑娘吃了一惊，脸红了，小声说道：“我叫织女，看你日子过得辛苦，就来帮帮你。”牛郎听得心花怒放，赶忙接着说：“那你就留下来吧，我们同甘共苦，一起用双手建设幸福的生活!”织女红着脸点了点头，他们就此结为夫妻，男耕女织，生活得很美满。

过了几年，他们生了一男一女两个孩子，一家人过得开心极了。一天，突然间天空乌云密布，狂风大作，雷电交加，织女不见了，两个孩子哭个不停，牛郎急得不知如何是好。正着急时，乌云又突然全散了，天气又变得风和日丽，织女也回到了家中，但她的脸上却满是愁云。只见她轻轻地拉住牛郎，又把两个孩子揽入怀中，说道：“其实我不是凡人，而是王母娘娘的外孙女，现在，天宫来人要把我接回去了，你们自己多多保重!”说罢，泪如雨下，腾云而去。

牛郎搂着两个年幼的孩子，欲哭无泪，呆呆地站了半天。不行，我不能让妻子就这样离我而去，我不能让孩子就这样失去母亲，我要去找她，我一定要把织女找回来!这时，那头老牛突然开口了：“别难过!你把我杀了，把我的皮披上，再编两个箩筐装着两个孩子，就可以上天宫去找织女了。”牛郎说什么也不愿意这样对待这个陪伴了自己数十年的伙伴，但拗不过它，又没有别的办法，只得忍着痛、含着泪照它的话去做了。

到了天宫，王母娘娘不愿认牛郎这个人间的外孙女婿，不让织女出来见他，而是找来七个蒙着面、高矮胖瘦一模一样的女子，对牛郎说：“你认吧，认对了就让你们见面。”牛郎一看傻了眼，怀中两个孩子却欢蹦乱跳地奔向自己的妈妈，原来，母子之间的血亲是什么也无法阻隔的!

王母娘娘没办法了，但她还是不甘心织女再回到人间，于是就下令把织女带走。牛郎急了，牵着两个孩子赶紧追上去。他们跑着跑着，累了也不肯停歇，跌倒了再爬起来，眼看着就快追上了，王母娘娘情急之下拔出头上的金簪一划，在他们中间划出了一道宽宽的银河。从此，牛郎和织女只能站在银河的两端，遥遥相望。而到了每年农历的七月初七，回有成千上万的喜鹊飞来，在银河上架起一座长长的鹊桥，让牛郎织女一家再次团聚。

三、白蛇传

清明时分，西湖岸边花红柳绿，断桥上面游人如梭，真是好一幅春光明媚的美丽画面。突然，从西湖底悄悄升上来两个如花似玉的姑娘，怎么回事?人怎么会从水里升出来呢?原来，她们是两条修炼成了人形的蛇精，虽然如此，但她们并无害人之心，只因羡慕世间的多彩人生，才一个化名叫白素贞，一个化名叫小青，来到西湖边游玩。

偏偏老天爷忽然发起脾气来，霎时间下起了倾盆大雨，白素贞和小青被淋得无处藏身，正发愁呢，突然只觉头顶多了一把伞，转身一看，只见一位温文尔雅、白净秀气的年轻书生撑着伞在为她们遮雨。白素贞和这小书生四目相交，都不约而同地红了红脸，相互产生了爱慕之情。小青看在眼里，忙说：“多谢!请问客官尊姓大名。”那小书生道：“我叫许仙，就住在这断桥边。”白素贞和小青也赶忙作了自我介绍。从此，他们三人常常见面，白素贞和许仙的感情越来越好，过了不久，他们就结为夫妻，并开了一间“保和堂”药店，小日子过得可美了!

由于“保和堂”治好了很多很多疑难病症，而且给穷人看病配药还分文不收，所以药店的生意越来越红火，远近来找白素贞治病的人越来越多，人们将白素贞亲切地称为白娘子。可是，“保和堂”的兴隆、许仙和白娘子的幸福生活却惹恼了一个人，谁呢?那就是金山寺的法海和尚。因为人们的病都被白娘子治好了，到金山寺烧香求菩萨的人就少多了，香火不旺，法海和尚自然就高兴不起来了。这天，他又来到“保和堂”前，看到白娘子正在给人治病，不禁心内妒火中烧，再定睛一瞧，哎呀!原来这白娘子不是凡人，而是条白蛇变的!

法海虽有点小法术，但他的心术却不正。看出了白娘子的身份后，他就整日想拆散许仙白娘子夫妇、搞垮“保和堂”。于是，他偷偷把许仙叫到寺中，对他说：“你娘子是蛇精变的，你快点和她分手吧，不然，她会吃掉你的!”许仙一听，非常气愤，他想：我娘子心地善良，对我的情意比海还深。就算她是蛇精，也不会害我，何况她如今已有了身孕，我怎能离弃她呢!法海见许仙不上他的当，恼羞成怒，便把许仙关在了寺里。

“保和堂”里，白娘子正焦急地等待许仙回来。一天、两天，左等、右等，白娘子心急如焚。终于打听到原来许仙被金山寺的法海和尚给“留”住了，白娘子赶紧带着小青来到金山寺，苦苦哀求，请法海放回许仙。法海见了白娘子，一阵冷笑，说道：“大胆妖蛇，我劝你还是快点离开人间，否则别怪我不客气了!”白娘子见法海拒不放人，无奈，只得拔下头上的金钗，迎风一摇，掀起滔滔大浪，向金山寺直逼过去。法海眼见水漫金山寺，连忙脱下袈裟，变成一道长堤，拦在寺门外。大水涨一尺，长堤就高一尺，大水涨一丈，长堤就高一丈，任凭波浪再大，也漫不过去。再加上白娘子有孕在身，实在斗不过法海，后来，法海使出欺诈的手法，将白娘子收进金钵，压在了雷峰塔下，把许仙和白娘子这对恩爱夫妻活生生地拆散了。

小青逃离金山寺后，数十载深山练功，最终打败了法海，将他逼进了螃蟹腹中，救出了白娘子，从此，她和许仙以及他们的孩子幸福地生活在一起，再也不分离了。

四、孟姜女

秦朝时候，有个善良美丽的女子，名叫孟姜女。一天，她正在自家的院子里做家务，突然发现葡萄架下藏了一个人，吓了她一大跳，正要叫喊，只见那个人连连摆手，恳求道：“别喊别喊，救救我吧!我叫范喜良，是来逃难的。”原来这时秦始皇为了造长城，正到处抓人做劳工，已经饿死、累死了不知多少人!孟姜女把范喜良救了下来，见他知书达理，眉清目秀，对他产生了爱慕之情，而范喜良也喜欢上了孟姜女。他俩儿心心相印，征得了父母的同意后，就准备结为夫妻。

成亲那天，孟家张灯结彩，宾客满堂，一派喜气洋洋的情景。眼看天快黑了，喝喜酒的人也都渐渐散了，新郎新娘正要入洞房，忽然只听见鸡飞狗叫，随后闯进来一队恶狠狠的官兵，不容分说，用铁链一锁，硬把范喜良抓到长城去做工了。好端端的喜事变成了一场空，孟姜女悲愤交加，日夜思念着丈夫。她想：我与其坐在家里干着急，还不如自己到长城去找他。对!就这么办!孟姜女立刻收拾收拾行装，上路了。

一路上，也不知经历了多少风霜雨雪，跋涉过多少险山恶水，孟姜女没有喊过一声苦，没有掉过一滴泪，终于，凭着顽强的毅力，凭着对丈夫深深的爱，她到达了长城。这时的长城已经是由一个个工地组成的一道很长很长的城墙了，孟姜女一个工地一个工地地找过来，却始终不见丈夫的踪影。最后，她鼓起勇气，向一队正要上工的民工询问：“你们这儿有个范喜良吗?”民工说：“有这么个人，新来的。”孟姜女一听，甭提多开心了!她连忙再问：“他在哪儿呢?”民工说：“已经死了，尸首都已经填了城脚了!”

猛地听到这个噩耗，真好似晴天霹雳一般，孟姜女只觉眼前一黑，一阵心酸，大哭起来。整整哭了三天三夜，哭得天昏地暗，连天地都感动了。天越来越阴沉，风越来越猛烈，只听“哗啦”一声，一段长城被哭倒了，露出来的正是范喜良的尸首，孟姜女的眼泪滴在了他血肉模糊的脸上。她终于见到了自己心爱的丈夫，但他却再也看不到她了，因为他已经被残暴的秦始皇害死了。

这几天，一则《来生，还想牵你的手!宁波夫妻同时住院却无法相见!丈夫器官衰竭，最后心愿让人泪崩》刷爆了朋友圈，全国多家媒体微信纷纷转发，引发网友热议。

冯爷爷已经去世，

那动人的一握，

竟真成永诀。

记者昨天赶到老人家，

倾听那一张张老照片背后的记忆，

人世间最美好的事，

莫过于牵着所爱的人的手，

走过这一辈子，

致一份寻常的爱情。

人生的最后一刻，

他说：想再牵一次老伴的手

鄞州人民医院ICU科室护士长王艳芳向记者还原了两位老人见面时的动人一幕——10月下旬的一天，下午3时左右，看护人员推着张萍的病床，走进了电梯。看着电梯上的数字从14慢慢向下，逐渐变成3，张萍的眼睛开始湿润。之后，她的病床被推进了冯明所在的病房，两张床紧紧挨在了一起。

两人见面的那一幕，让所有人动容。张萍拉起丈夫的手，紧紧抓住，“我会照顾好自己的。等我好了，我就去找你。”那一瞬间，整个病房的空气都仿佛凝固住了。

“执手”老夫妻的故事原来这么多……

人世间最美好和悲凉的一刻，莫过于此。

半个小时后，张明离开了医院，乘救护车回到了家中。当天，张明永远地闭上了双眼。这一次见面，成为了永别。

丈夫离去，

她说：余生要用回忆去填满

因为深爱，所以感同身受。牵过丈夫的手后，张萍总觉得哪里不对，坚持要回家。一回家才发现，冯明已经不在了。

冯明的二女儿张艺梅昨天对记者说，听到冯明去世的消息时，张萍很平静，像是早就做好了心理准备。不过，这段日子张萍也经常在暗地里抹眼泪，有时候还会产生幻听，总觉得是冯明在呼唤她。

前几天，脾气一向温和的张萍对所有人发了一顿脾气。一问原因，才知道是冯明有好几天没出现在她梦里了。张萍说，结婚66年了，她从没有像现在这样想他。如果冯明一直不出现，她想去找他。

昨天，在宁舟新村的家中，面对记者，张萍回忆起了俩夫妻年轻时的往事。

冯明和张萍都是离休干部，1950年结婚。66年前，俩人结婚时，没有任何房产，也就是现在大家所说的“裸婚”。当时，在宁波海曙，冯明借了一间同事的宿舍，简单布置了一下，和张萍举行了婚礼。那个借来的宿舍，就算是婚房了。

本来一切都很顺利，可到了当天傍晚，宿舍的主人回来了，张明顿时傻了眼。经过商量，新婚之夜，冯明和张萍睡在床上，宿舍主人睡在地上。这件事成了张萍心中最美好的回忆。

另一件事，发生在婚后第三年。继大女儿之后，二女儿张艺梅出生了。随后，疼爱妻子的冯明坚持要让女儿跟着妻子姓张。此后，张艺梅就成了四个儿女中唯一一个跟着张萍姓的孩子。

每一次提起二女儿的名字，张萍都能感受到丈夫对自己的浓浓爱意。

生活节俭，坚持助学，

他们给子女留下了最好的精神财富

张艺梅对记者说，她最骄傲的，不仅仅是父母之间的恩爱，而是父亲给他们这一代留下来的精神财富。

冯明很有爱心，平日里，做人也非常低调。退休前，他是当地民政局的干部，张萍则是一名小学老师。夫妻俩都是节俭的人，家里的东西不到用不了绝对不会扔掉，但他们会把存下来的钱留给需要帮助的人。

张艺梅说，冯明很喜欢看报纸，经常会收集一些贫困孩子的信息，然后点对点进行联系。之后，他会定期汇钱，用来帮助他们完成学业。而在外面，冯明从来不对人说这些。

其实，就在冯明去世后的一个星期，张萍还嘱咐女儿给居委会送去4000元钱。张萍觉得，就算丈夫已经不在，还是要帮他做这件事情。

如今，在父亲的影响下，四个儿女都有了定期捐钱的习惯。虽然钱不多，但他们都觉得这件事应该坚持下去。

冯明会写诗，还写着一手好字。13年前，张艺梅收集父亲年轻时所写的诗歌，并精心制作成一本小册子。在这本小册子上，记录着冯明人生各个阶段所写的诗歌，其中既有对自己人生经历的感慨，也有下乡劳动时对妻子的想念。而年纪大了以后，他也时常会写一些对儿女的期盼的诗。

来生，再牵手!

持子之手与子偕老，

为这样的感情动容!

小编突然很感慨，

想说愿天下有情人终成眷属，

相爱到老!

南瓜灯(Jack-O-Lantern)是庆祝万圣节的标志物。下面语文迷网整理了关于南瓜灯的故事作文，希望对你有帮助。

One story about Jack， an Irishman， who was not allowed into Heaven because he was stingy with his money. So he was sent to hell. But down there he played tricks on the Devil (Satan)， so he was kicked out of Hell and made to walk the earth forever carrying a lantern.

Well， Irish children made Jacks lanterns on October 31st from a large potato or turnip， hollowed out with the sides having holes and lit by little candles inside. And Irish children would carry them as they went from house to house begging for food for the village Halloween festival that honored the Druid god Muck Olla. The Irish name for these lanterns was "Jack with the lantern" or "Jack of the lantern，" abbreviated as " Jack-o-lantern" and now spelled "jack-o-lantern."

The traditional Halloween you can read about in most books was just childrens fun night. Halloween celebrations would start in October in every elementary school.

关于万圣节有这样一个故事。是说有一个叫杰克的爱尔兰人，因为他对钱特别的吝啬，就不允许他进入天堂，而被打入地狱。但是在那里他老是捉弄魔鬼撒旦，所以被踢出地狱，罚他提着灯笼永远在人世里行走。

在十月三十一日爱尔兰的孩子们用土豆和萝卜制作“杰克的灯笼”，他们把中间挖掉、表面上打洞并在里边点上蜡烛。为村里庆祝督伊德神的万圣节，孩子们提着这种灯笼挨家挨户乞讨食物。这种灯笼的爱尔兰名字是“拿灯笼的杰克”或者“杰克的灯笼”，缩写为Jack-o-lantern 。

现在你在大多数书里读到的万圣节只是孩子们开心的夜晚。在小学校里，万圣节是每年十月份开始庆祝的。孩子们会制作万圣节的装饰品：各种各样桔红色的南瓜灯。

一则小小的故事蕴含着大大的道理。下面是语文迷为大家整理的幽默哲理故事，希望对你有帮助。

1、晚饭后，母亲和女儿一块儿洗碗盘，父亲和儿子在客厅看电视。

突然，厨房里传来打破盘子的响声，然后一片沉寂。

儿子望着他父亲，说道：「一定是妈妈打破的。」

「你怎么知道?」

「她没有骂人」

【哲理故事启示】我们习惯以不同的标准来看人看己，以致往往是责人以严，待己以宽。

2、理由充份

一辆载满乘客的公共汽车沿着下坡路快速前进着，有一个人后面紧紧地追赶着这辆车子。

一个乘客从车窗中伸出头来对追车子的人："老兄!算啦，你追不上的!"

"我必须追上它，"这人气喘吁吁地说："我是这辆车的司机"

【哲理故事启示】有些人必须非常认真努力，因为不这样的话，后果就十分悲惨了!然而也正因为必须全力以赴，潜在的本能和不为人知的特质终将充份展现出来。

3、原来如此

甲：「新搬来的邻居好可恶，昨天晚上三更半夜、夜深人静之时然跑来猛按我家的门。」

乙：「的确可恶!你有没有马上报警?」「没有。我当他们是疯子，继续吹我的小喇叭。」

【哲理故事启示】事出必有因，如果能先看到自己的不是，答案就会不一样。在你面对冲突和争执时,先想一想是否心中有亏，或许很快就能释怀了。

4、误会

某日，张三在山间小路开车。

正当他悠哉地欣赏美丽风景时，突然迎面开来一辆货车，而且满囗黑牙的司机还摇下窗

户对他大骂一声："猪"

张三越想越纳闷，也越想越气，于是他也摇下车窗回头大骂："你才是猪!"

才刚骂完，他便迎头撞上一群过马路的猪。

【哲理故事启示】不要错误的诠释别人的好意，那只会让自己吃亏，并且使别人受辱。在不明所以之前，先学会按捺情绪，耐心观察，以免事后生发悔意。

5、后生可畏

小男孩问爸爸："是不是做父亲的总比做儿子的知道得多?"

爸爸回答："当然啦!"

小男孩问："电灯是谁发明的?"

爸爸："是爱迪生。"

小男孩又问："那爱迪生的爸爸怎么没有发明电灯?"

【哲理故事启示】很奇怪，喜欢倚老卖老的人，特别容易栽跟斗。权威往往只是一个经不起考验的空壳子，尤其在现今这个多元开放的时代。

6、父子二人经过五星级饭店门口，看到一辆十分豪华的进口轿车。

儿子不屑地对他的父亲说：「坐这种车的人，肚子里一定没有学问!」

父亲则轻描淡写地回答：说这种话的人，口袋里一定没有钱

【哲理故事启示】你对事情的看法，是不是也反映出你内心真正的态度?

7、不必紧张

小明洗澡时不小心吞下一小块肥皂，他的妈妈慌慌张张地打电话向家庭医生求助。

医生说："我现在还有几个病人在，可能要半小时后才能赶过去。"

小明妈妈说："在你来前，我该做甚么?"

医生说："给小明喝一杯白开水，然后用力跳一跳，你就可以让小明用嘴巴吹泡泡消磨时间了。"

【哲理故事启示】Take it easy!放轻松些，生活何必太紧张?事情既然已经发生了，何不坦然自在的面对。担心不如宽心，穷紧张不如穷开心。

8、有两个台湾观光团到日本伊豆半岛旅游，路况很坏，到处都是坑洞。

其中一位导游连声抱歉，说路面简直像麻子一样。

而另一个导游却诗意盎然地对游客说：诸位先生，我们现在走的这条道路，正是赫赫有名的伊豆迷人酒窝大道。」

【哲理故事启示】虽是同样的情况，然而不同的意念，就会产生不同的态度。思想是何等奇妙的事，如何去想，决定权在你。

9、同样是小学三年级的学生，在作文中说他们将来的志愿是当小丑。

中国的老师斥之为：「胸无大志，孺子不可教也!」

外国的老师则会说：「愿你把欢笑带给全世界!」

【哲理故事启示】身为长辈的我们，不但容易要求多于鼓励，更狭窄的界定了成功的定义。

10、有一个欧巴桑在首饰店里看到二只一模一样的手环。一个标价五百五十元，另一个却只标价二百五十元。

她大为心喜，立刻买下二百五十元的手环，得意洋洋的走出店门。

临出去前，听到里面的店员悄悄对另一个店员说：「看吧，这一招屡试不爽。」

【哲理故事启示】试探如饵，可以轻而易举的使许多人显露出贪婪的本性，然而那常常是吃亏受骗的开始。

11、乞丐：「能不能给我一百块钱?」

路人：「我只有八十块钱。」

乞丐：「那你就欠我二十块钱吧」

【哲理故事启示】有些人总以为是上苍欠他的，老觉得老天爷给的不够多、不够好，贪婪之欲早已取代了感恩之心。

春节，中国人最重要的节日。是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。

节，是农历的岁首，春节的另一名称叫过年，是中国最盛大、最热闹、最重要的一个古老传统节日，也是中国人所独有的节日。是中华文明最集中的表现。自西汉以来，春节的习俗一直延续到今天。春节一般指除夕和正月初一。但在民间，传统意义上的春节是指从腊月初八的腊祭或腊月二十三或二十四的祭灶，一直到正月十五，其中以除夕和正月初一为高潮。如何过庆贺这个节日，在千百年的历史发展中，形成了一些较为固定的风俗习惯，有许多还相传至今。在春节这一传统节日期间，我国的汉族和大多数少数民族都有要举行各种庆祝活动，这些活动大多以祭祀神佛、祭奠祖先、除旧布新、迎禧接福、祈求丰年为主要内容。活动形式丰富多彩，带有浓郁的民族特色。2006年5月20日，“春节”民俗经国务院批准列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。

春节的来历有一种传说，中国古时候有一种叫“年”的怪兽，头长触角，凶猛异常。“年”长年深居海底，每到除夕才爬上岸，吞食牲畜伤害人命。因此，每到除夕这天，村村寨寨的人们扶老携幼逃往深山，以躲避“年”兽的伤害。有一年除夕，从村外来了个乞讨的老人。乡亲们一片匆忙恐慌景象，只有村东头一位老婆婆给了老人些食物，并劝他快上山躲避“年”兽，那老人捋髯笑道：“婆婆若让我在家呆一夜，我一定把‘年’兽撵走。”老婆婆仍然继续劝说，乞讨老人笑而不语。 半夜时分，“年”兽闯进村。它发现村里气氛与往年不同：村东头老婆婆家，门贴大红纸，屋内烛火通明。“年”兽浑身一抖，怪叫了一声。将近门口时，院内突然传来“砰砰啪啪”的炸响声，“年”浑身战栗，再不敢往前凑了。原来，“年”最怕红色、火光和炸响。这时，婆婆的家门大开，只见院内一位身披红袍的老人在哈哈大笑。“年”大惊失色，狼狈逃蹿了。第二天是正月初一，避难回来的人们见村里安然无恙十分惊奇。这时，老婆婆才恍然大悟，赶忙向乡亲们述说了乞讨老人的许诺。这件事很快在周围村里传开了，人们都知道了驱赶“年”兽的办法。(客家人的传说)从此每年除夕，家家贴红对联、燃放爆竹;户户烛火通明、守更待岁。初一一大早，还要走亲串友道喜问好。这风俗越传越广，成了中国民间最隆重的传统节日。

The winter solstice, the winter solstice as the "holiday" in han dynasty, the rulers to congratulate ceremony known as "He Dong", official holidays, routine officialdom popular each "winter" worship custom. "Were" has such records: "before and after the winter solstice, the gentleman place static body, baiguan, scenes, and then pick an auspicious day Chen save trouble." So on the court and off to rest, to the army on standby, frontier retreat, business travel out of business, family and all distinctions to food, visit each other, a joyous festival "place static body". When in the six dynasties, the winter solstice is called "the age", people to elders to extend holiday greetings to your parents; After the song dynasty, the winter solstice festival gradually become the sacrifice to ancestors and gods.

Tang and song period, the winter solstice is to worship the day of worship ancestors, the emperor held outside the day to worship, the people in this day to the parents or elders worship. Ming and qing dynasties, the emperor have to worship, of "winter solstice jiao days". There has to be given to a emperor, table officials ritual, but also to each other for congratulations, like New Years day.

Winter festival also called yesterday, hand in winter. It is one of the 24 solar terms, is a traditional festival of China, have "the winter solstice as big as a year". Winter solstice supplements, is Chinas traditional customs, folksay: fill a lump-sum winter, in the coming year without pain. Summer volts, winter lump-sum. The winter solstice mend, nutrients.

冬至到了，汉代以冬至为“冬节”，官府要举行祝贺仪式称为“贺冬”，官方例行放假，官场流行互贺的“拜冬”礼俗。《后汉书》中有这样的记载：“冬至前后，君子安身静体，百官绝事，不听政，择吉辰而后省事。”所以这天朝廷上下要放假休息，军队待命，边塞闭关，商旅停业，亲朋各以美食相赠，相互拜访，欢乐地过一个“安身静体”的节日。魏晋六朝时，冬至称为“亚岁”，民众要向父母长辈拜节;宋朝以后，冬至逐渐成为祭祀祖先和神灵的节庆活动。

唐、宋时期，冬至是祭天祀祖的日子，皇帝在这天要到郊外举行祭天大典，百姓在这一天要向父母尊长祭拜。明、清两代，皇帝均有祭天大典，谓之“冬至郊天”。宫内有百官向皇帝呈递贺表的仪式，而且还要互相投刺祝贺，就像元旦一样。

冬至节亦称冬节、交冬。它既是二十四节气之一，是中国的一个传统节日，曾有“冬至大如年”的说法。冬至进补，是我国传统风俗，俗语云：三九补一冬，来年无病痛。夏养三伏，冬补三九。冬至补一补,一年精气足。

Winter solstice is the earliest Chinese festival, call it yesterday, as early as the han dynasty had formed when we are familiar with todays twenty-four solar terms. Twenty-four solar terms, every 15 days for a throttle, a throttle is divided into three. As the winter solstice is divided into "hou earthworms knot; 2 hou elk horn, three HouShuiQuan move." Are the ancients from traditional agricultural production routine. Fade as the farming civilization, modern agriculture is affected by season is not very big, such as the vegetables all the year round in the greenhouses, traditional throttle effect on guidance and restriction of agricultural farming is also a little bit fade.

People now pay more attention to the throttle keeping in good health, in winter it was the season of supplements. After spring, summer, autumn three season, the body organs need to enter a state of rest during the winter, physical consumption in winter supplements in the past. Left the teacher said, so also have "winter signings, dozen tiger next year" the proverb.

冬至是中国最早的节日，称之为冬节，早在汉代时候已经形成了我们今天熟悉的二十四节气。二十四节气，每十五天为一个节气，一个节气分为三候。如冬至分为“一候蚯蚓结;二候麋角解，三候水泉动。”都是以古人从传统农业生产生活规律中总结出来的。随着农耕文明逐渐消退，现代农业受季节的影响不是很大，比如大棚里的菜一年四季都可以吃到，传统节气对农业种田的辅导和制约作用也在一点点消退。

现在的人们更多关注的是节气养生，冬季也是进补的季节。经历春夏秋三季后，身体各个器官在冬季需要进入休息的状态，过去身体上的消耗在冬天进补。左老师说，因此也有“冬季进补，来年打虎”的俗语。

A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.

He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich mans house today, for I cannot get over the river."

He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.

Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.

【译文】

一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。

他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”

他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。

不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

从世界各地来看，读书节已成为当代社会的文化景观，而且是最近20年的新风潮。不过，现代意义上的第一个“读书节”，最早可追溯到1926年西班牙国王首次设立的“西班牙自由节”，并把伟大作家塞万提斯的生日10月7日作为这个节日的庆祝日。

From all over the world, Reading Festival has become the cultural landscape of contemporary society, and it is a new trend in recent 20 years. However, the first "Reading Festival" in the modern sense, the earliest can be traced back to 1926, the king of Spain for the first time to set up a "Spanish freedom festival", and the great writer Cervantess birthday in October 7th as a celebration of the holiday.

1930年庆祝活动移到4月23日――塞万提斯的忌日，碰巧这一天也是加泰罗尼亚地区大众节日“圣乔治节”。传说中勇士乔治屠龙救公主，并获得了公主回赠的礼物――一本书，象征着知识与力量。每到这一天，加泰罗尼亚的妇女们就给丈夫或男朋友赠送一本书，男人们则会回赠一枝玫瑰花。由此相沿成习，如今每到这一天，书籍减价10%，玫瑰花的价格则陡然上涨。

Celebration on 1930 to April 23rd -- the anniversary of the death of Cervantes, to this day is also the Catalonia area public holiday "St. Georges day". The legend goes that the knight George slew a dragon and saved a princess, and was granted a gift in return: a book, representing knowledge and power. Every year on this day, Catalonia women will give a book to their husband or boyfriend, the men will give a rose. Thus become a custom through long time usage, and now every day, the book price by 10%, prices rose sharply rise.

世界读书日就来源于此。巧合的是，这天是著名作家塞万提斯、莎士比亚、维加3位著名文学大师的辞世纪念日，又是美国作家纳博科夫、法国作家莫里斯・德鲁昂、冰岛诺贝尔文学奖得主拉克斯内斯等多位文学家的生日。巧合之外，则是人们对书籍的热爱和对阅读重要性的深层认识。主旋律都是一样的：无论是年老还是年轻，无论是贫穷还是富有，无论是患病还是健康，都能享受阅读的乐趣，都能尊重和感谢为人类文明作出巨大贡献的文学、文化、科学思想大师们，都能保护知识产权。

World Book Day comes from this. Coincidentally, this is the famous writer Cervantes died, Shakespeare Vega, 3 famous literary masters of the day, and Nabokov, French writer USA writer Maurice de Rouen, Iceland Nobel prize winner Laks Ness and many other writers day. Coincidentally, is that people love of books and a deep understanding of the importance of reading. The main theme is the same: whether old or young, whether rich or poor, whether it is sick or healthy, can enjoy the pleasure of reading, respect and gratitude can make great contributions to human civilization, literature, culture, scientific thinking gurus, can protect the intellectual property rights.
