idiom "pointing to a deer for a horse" with pictures
Let me first talk about the story of " pointing to a deer for a horse "
In my opinion, the most meaning of "liar" is an idiom - "pointing to a deer for a horse".
The idiom "pointing to a deer is a horse" comes from a historical allusion, first from "Records of the Grand Historian: The Original Annals of Qin Shihuang".
Some people say that the decline of the Qin Empire began with ideological confusion. "Charactering a deer to make a horse" is a sign of the demise of the Qin Empire, and its harm is no less than the "tyranny" and "burning books and burying scholars" of Qin Shihuang .
Episode 210 BC, Qin Shihuang suddenly died of illness on his way to the "Eastern Tour".
When Qin Shihuang "dead", there was only one person around him. This person was the eunuch who was in charge of chariots and horses for First Emperor .
Because the "work" is special, Zhao Gao must always be with Qin Shihuang. This is a "privilege" that only eunuchs have. Even Prime Minister Li Si and Prince Hu Hai do not have this "privilege".
So, except for Zhao Gao and the two little eunuchs under him, no one else knew that the First Emperor had "dead".
At this time, Zhao Gao had bad intentions. He wanted Qin Shihuang's youngest son Hu Hai to be the emperor, but he did not want Qin Shihuang's eldest son Fusu to inherit the throne.
Why Zhao Gao "favored" Hu Hai so much? First, because Hu Hai was both weak and incompetent, greedy for pleasure, easy to serve, and easy to fool. Second, Hu Hai obeyed Zhao Gao's plan, because Zhao Gao was Hu Hai's "Taifu" (that is, Hu Hai's teacher).
There is another factor. Zhao Gao and the eldest son of the First Emperor Fusu have always been incompatible. If Fusu inherits the throne, Zhao Gao may lose his status and even his life will be difficult to save.
After making up his mind, Zhao Gao first trapped Hu Hai, and then colluded with Hu Hai, threatened and tempted Prime Minister Li Si and forced Li Si to submit.
After Li Si chose to compromise, Zhao Gao and three others forged a "noble edict" and gave Fusu to death, making Hu Hai the crown prince. At the same time, the news of the First Emperor's death was kept secret and the funeral was not made secret. After
and other Fusu committed suicide by slapping his neck and transporting the body of the First Emperor back to Xianyang (the "imperial capital at that time), Zhao Gao announced the news that the First Emperor "death" was in the world.
Hu Hai inherited the throne and became the emperor in this way, known in history as " Qin II ".
Zhao Gao made great contributions to Hu Hai's "stand out". After Hu Hai ascended the throne, he "repaying his favor" and named Zhao Gao as " Doctor-Linger ". Zhao Gao thus "turned over" and jumped into a "high official" second only to Li Si's position.
A eunuch can achieve such "achievement", which is logically satisfied, but Zhao Gao's ambition is far more than that.
He first designed to kill Li Si and became the prime minister himself. Zhao Gao has since been ranked "below one person and above ten thousand people", and has a glory for a while.
However, Zhao Gao has a humble background and is also a eunuch. Although he has a high position and a powerful position, he is not so down-to-earth.
He is worried that all civil and military officials will not accept him, and he is even more worried that someone will reveal his past from the emperor.
So, Zhao Gao thought of a trick, Zhao Gao hopes to establish his authority with a "test".
There was a "morning court" when the ministers worshipped Qin II, Zhao Gao asked someone to lead a deer.
Zhao Gao said to Qin II: "This is a thousand-mile horse I finally got, and I specially led it over to His Majesty. ”

Qin Ershi said: "Has the Prime Minister been wrong? This is clearly a deer, how could it be a thousand-mile horse? "
Zhao Gao smiled and said nothing. He turned around and asked loudly to the ministers: "Look, is this a deer or a horse? "
The ministers looked at each other. Do you still need to ask? It's a deer or a horse, and everyone can recognize it.
Because they can't guess the intention of Zhao Gaowen, the ministers remained silent. No one dared to speak. As ministers, there would still be such "civilization".
Zhao Gao asked again, "You go and take a look, see clearly, and then tell the emperor, is this a deer or a thousand-mile horse?"
At this time, several ministers who are good at "flattering and distinguishing the appearance" spoke: "The Prime Minister is right. This is not a deer, it is clearly a horse, and it is also a thousand-mile horse that travels thousands of miles a day!"
Seeing a smile on Zhao Gao's face, more ministers spoke, and they insisted that "this is a thousand-mile horse". They not only praised this "thousand-mile horse", but also flattered, expressing their admiration for Zhao Gao, the "Bo Le".

Of course, there are two "unaware of the times" among the ministers. They are unwilling to go against their conscience and do not want to "talk with their eyes open."
A minister said bluntly: "It's obviously a deer, how could it be a horse?"
Another minister pointed to those who "pointed to the deer as a horse" and said: "What's wrong with you? What does deer look like? What does horse look like? Do you have no discernment?"
The two ministers were immediately besieged by everyone. Because there were many people and the two ministers were weak and could not be argued.
At this time, Zhao Gao turned around and said to Qin Ershi: "Your Majesty, we all think that this is a horse, a thousand-mile horse that travels thousands of miles a day!"
Qin Ershi was confused by what happened in front of him. He was too lazy to think too much, so he said casually: "You are right, it is a thousand-mile horse!"
Not long after, the two ministers who told the truth encountered misfortune. The two ministers were respectively charged with different crimes. One minister was demoted to the people, and the other minister was imprisoned and was eventually "beheaded".
Passed this "test", Zhao Gao "shocked" all the ministers of the dynasty. From then on, Zhao Gao said one is one, two is two, and no one dared to disobey his will.
At the same time, Zhao Gao gave his student (Qin II) a "vibrant demonstration class". From then on, Qin II became even more indistinguishable from black and white, and indistinguishable from smell.
In broad daylight, Zhao Gao used lies to cover up the truth. This behavior of "pointing a deer to a horse" and turning black and white is extremely absurd. It is the misfortune of the Qin Empire and the sorrow of human society.
Nowadays, people call confusing right and wrong and turning black and white "pointing to a horse".
"Pointing a deer as a horse" is a derogatory term. What is terrible is that the phenomenon of "pointing a deer as a horse" permeates our lives. This phenomenon is commonplace. Many people have long been accustomed to it and are not surprised, but they do not know its terribleness.
Why do some people say "liar"?
Why do some people like to tell "lies" and are used to telling "lies"?
Because telling "lies" can confuse black and white and reverse right and wrong, because telling "lies" can satisfy its own interests and achieve its ulterior motives.
Some "lies" are ridiculous, while others are deceived. In some special areas, the consequences of "pointing a deer to make a horse" are even more serious. At the least, it will cause you to lose money, and at the worst, it will cause you to fall into the ground.
Therefore, it can be said that "pointing a deer to be a horse" is not a random unfabricated history, nor is it an interesting anecdote that attracts people's attention. In our lives, there are many examples of "pointing a deer to be a horse" real version.
For example, many leaders are used to covering the sky with one hand. They ignore the facts and say that "east" is "east", "west" is "west", "right" is "right", and "wrong" is "wrong", and their subordinates cannot argue. Leaders like
will definitely have some people who "know the current affairs". They obey orders and will not express them easily even if they have different opinions.
If someone tells the truth and makes a different voice, it will be criticized and trained at the least, and the worst will affect promotion and reuse.
In short, one sentence: Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

Another example, in order to satisfy their own interests, some people do not hesitate to distort facts, even fabricate facts, and confuse the public.
Through "blind operations", they can say that the "black" is "white", the "white" is "black", and the "harmful" is "harmless", so that the "innocent" becomes "responsible", and the "main responsibility" becomes "secondary responsibility".
Some people even use the "technology" of "pointing a deer to a horse" to the extreme, and can actually turn "sincere" into "innocence", and can also turn "sincere" into "sincere".
You will find that their performance has two common characteristics - one is the confusion of black and white, the confusion of right and wrong, and the other is distinguishing colors and changing according to the wind;
You will also find that their practices all reflect 8 words - using power to suppress others and bullying others with power.
"Referring to a deer as a horse" is the inevitable result of unrestrained power and the source of "unwritten rules" such as "power is greater than law, and power is willful".
It goes without saying that "pointing a deer to make a horse" is already a major concern in today's society. It destroys the "rules of the game" that everyone must abide by, destroys "fairness and justice", seriously affects "credibility", and also challenges the bottom line of human conscience.
has said too many "liars", and those who tell "liars" themselves believe it, and no one dares to believe it occasionally, saying "truth".
There is a situation where some people will ignore morality, say some false statements that are contrary to facts, and do things that are contrary to their conscience.
It can be said with certainty that these people are not confused at all, but are "extremely smart" and "very conscious of the current affairs".
The reason they say that and do that is not for their own selfish interests or out of fear of "power".
This kind of "self-interest" is either "reputation", "human favor", or "status", "prospect", or is a naked interest.
What’s ridiculous is that some people are “too deeply involved in the play”, and over time, their cognitive ability of things has also “sinked”. If you say too many "liar things", the person who tells "liar things" himself believes it is true.

When I wrote this, I thought of the "high-speed train rear-end collision accident" many years ago. A famous saying was circulated at that time: "This is a miracle of life. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." The background of the birth of this "famous quote" is: the rescue operation has ended. Just as the relevant personnel began to bury the carriage, the disaster relief personnel actually found a surviving child in the carriage...
Sadly, because of too many "liar words", people's ability to distinguish between true and false has "degraded" or has become numb.
Even if you occasionally say "truth", not many people are willing to believe your words, because it is difficult to tell whether your words are true or false.
Moreover, the more confident you speak, the more sincere you speak, the less credible your "truth" will be.
Conclusion
"False" is flying all over the sky, but those who say "false" can gain both fame and fortune;
"truth" is hard to say, and those who say "truth" are often unpopular, and even scolded, attacked, and "marginalized";
"false" has been said too much, and many people who say "false" are already insensitive and used to it;
are used to listening to "false", and people can no longer distinguish "truth" and "false";
People treat "false" as "truth" and "false" as "false". It is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
This is a regression in history, a decline in human ethics and morality, and a misfortune and sorrow in human society.
As a person, you must have a clear conscience. Only in this way can you be open and honest
Everyone must know, "A lie needs to be remedied with a hundred lies." You will bear a heavy burden because of your "lie", and you will be condemned by your conscience, and you will be unstable and worried about it.
Once the truth is revealed, if it comes to the point of being "thousands of people", you will be ruined and will never be reborn.
Doing "deception of the world and stealing fame, and mutual anger between man and god", saying lies that are contrary to facts and conscience, so you are betrayed your life's infamy, and your purpose is to greed for temporary fame and fortune. Why are you doing?
"Life is in the world, and plants are in autumn." Life is short, and a person should have a clear conscience, so that he can live a open and free life.
People should understand more, "The end of a lie must be a disaster"!
It is actually not difficult to say the truth, it depends on whether you can achieve a "clear conscience"!
