Thunder but no rain
We often refer to the phenomenon and behavior of "all talk but no action" or "boast in words and make small fuss in actions" as "thunder but no rain" or "thunder is loud but raindrops are small". . Do you know what is going on? This can only be understood from the Jade Emperor in the sky to the earth master underground.
From ancient times to the present, people have wanted to live a good life where the weather is smooth and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. This power lies in the hands of the Jade Emperor's four generals. Probably in order to "take care of the relationship between husband and wife", the Jade Emperor specially arranged the two couples Thunder God , Shan Po and Yushi Feng Po together. Needless to say, their division of labor is obvious as soon as they hear their names.
At first, these four divine generals worked really well together, and indeed brought "good weather, peace and good years" to the world. People respected them, respectfully called them "father-in-law" and "mother-in-law", built temples for them, built golden bodies, and offered incense... However, the good times did not last long, and the two couples gradually became a little discordant, mainly because of the "Thunder God" and the "Rain Master" Henpecked" is afraid of his wife. Only when the mother-in-law takes the lead can the father-in-law dare to follow. This is also the phenomenon of "the wind comes and the rain comes, and the lightning and thunder roar." It's still like this.
This little problem is not a big deal, but the two couples sometimes split up into two, each doing their own thing, and the people can't stand it. Why? The main reason is that their personalities don't get along. Lei Gong likes to brag, and Mrs. Shan always They love to show off themselves everywhere; the withdrawn Rain Master can't stand the couple. In addition, the Jade Emperor never checks the thunder, only listens with his ears. When the thunder rings or shines, he thinks it's raining again. Lei Gong also followed his fancy, making noises every three days regardless of anything, which won the appreciation and respect of Jade Emperor .
As a result, Rain Master and Feng Po were not convinced! They believed that it was "the two of us" who determined droughts and floods in the world! Not "them two"! In anger, they carried Thunder God and Shan Po on their backs and kept blowing the wind. The rain kept falling. The two pairs of them were competing like this, and the land master couldn't hold back his anger. He didn't wait until the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, so he hurriedly went to the heaven to complain to the Jade Emperor: "God, it's terrible, there is no thunder. If we don't dodge, the wind will blow hard and the rain will fall, which will make my people suffer!" The Jade Emperor was furious and ordered the Rain Master and Feng Po to go to Lingxiao Palace for trial, and severely rebuked them as "monkey men" Godism", and appointed Lei Gong as the leader of the Rain Master on the spot, and also stipulated that "Lei Gong will not thunder, and the Rain Master will not be allowed to rain!" This made Gong Shan and his wife even more flattered and arrogant.
But after coming down to the palace, Rain Master and Feng Po still refused to listen to their orders. In order to show that they were "loyal to their duties", Lei Gong and Shan Po continued to thunder and lightning every day. At first, the Rain Master was afraid of violating the "Heaven Rule", so he had to deal with a few light rains and give him a "big thunder and small rain." Later, the Thunder God blew louder and louder, causing random flashes, and the Rain Master and Feng Po couldn't help it. As long as the wind doesn't blow, there won't be any rain. As a result, there was lightning and thunder every day, and there was no wind or rain every day. After a few months, the crops in the world withered, and the fields smoked... The land lord was dusty again, and the sky was complaining...
The Jade Emperor thought that the imperial edict had been completed Down below, Thunder is the leader. As long as the thunder continues and the flashes of light continue to shine, there will be no shortage of rain in the world. Today, after listening to the report from the God of the Land, I realized that no matter how strict the rules of the sky are, there are still people who disobey them. We must severely punish the Rain Master Feng Po to rectify the rules of heaven!
The Land Master knows in his heart that hard work is not the answer. If the Rain Master and Feng Po are punished, The mother-in-law became very angry. Suddenly the wind was so strong that it uprooted trees and knocked down houses, and the rain was so heavy that ditches filled the river and the crops were submerged. After a while, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. The ditches and rivers were so dry that they bottomed out and the fields were cracked. How could the people live? He quickly knelt down and begged for mercy and said: "The Jade Emperor, please calm down. Please forgive me for speaking frankly: Lei Gongshan Po has a manic temper. She not only looks down on the rain." Shi Fengpo, you are still trying to flatter others by trying to flatter the superiors and deceiving the inferiors to please your old man. In fact, their words are of no use.If you don't want to be cursed by the common people, you have to rely on the hard-working Rain Master Feng Po to make the weather smooth!" The Jade Emperor suddenly realized after hearing this, and secretly blamed himself for improper employment. He wanted to demote Thunder God and Shanpo, but he thought that sometimes It was still necessary to create a dazzling momentum, so they reversed their duties and asked the Rain Master to "lead" Lei Gong. It would rain first and then thunder. Who knew that the Rain Master would "reform" the Jade Emperor? Still not interested, he said: "We are both capable, so we don't want them to be fooling around! "
The land master is a "good fortune and righteous god". He never wants to offend others, and he doesn't want to see others fall out. He always tries his best to make people work together in harmony. He showed off his old face and coaxed Yushi Fengpo and said: "Call me They dodge to light the way for you, and thunder to clear the way for you. What's wrong with that? Master Yu felt that no matter how much he disagreed, he would still be sorry for the good old man Tu Tu, so he held his nose and drank the sour soup and agreed: "Looking at your face, there are many things in summer, so it's better to take them with you, but in winter there are less things, so I decided not to take them with you!" "After all, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to make a final decision. Therefore, from then on, it was only windy and rainy in the winter, and there was no thunder or lightning.
Although the Jade Emperor has finalized the decision, Lei Gongshan and Po Po were shocked because of the big bang. The character of shouting in the air cannot be changed, and she often looks for opportunities to express herself with lightning and thunder. At this time, the rain master Fengpo just stands still and gives them "thunder, no rain" to humiliate them
