So from then on he gave up farming, and stood by the tree stump waiting for the hare to come and run into it.
Butfromthen on, he never saw another hare run into the tree stump.

In the reign of Emperor the Second of the Qin Dynasty (221-207 B.C.), the prime minister Zhao Gao, obsessed with ambitions, was planning to usurp the throne day and night. But he did not know how many of the ministers in the court were allowed to be ordered about by him and how many of them were his opponents. So he thought out a way to test how high his prestige among the ministers was and also to find out who dared to oppose him.
One day when court was held, Zhao Gao let someone bring a stag to the court and, with a broad smile on his face, he said to Emperor the Second of the Qin Dynasty:"Your Majesty, here is a fine horse Im presenting to you." Looking at the animal, Emperor the Second thought that it was obviously a stag and that it couldnt be a horse. So he said smilingly to Zhao Gao:"Mister Prime Minister, you are wrong. This is a stay. Why do you say it is a horse?" Remaining calm, Zhao Gao said:"Will your Majesty please see more clearly? This really is a horse that covers a thousand li a day." Filled with suspicion, Emperor the Second looked at the stag again and said:"How can the antlers be grown on the head of a horse?" Turning around and pointing his finger at the ministers, Zhao Gao said in a loud voice:"if our Majesty do not believe me, you can ask the ministers."
The nonsense of Zhao Gao made the ministers totally at a lose, and they whispered to themselves: What tricks was Zhao Gao playing? Was it not obvious whether it was a stag or a horse? But when they saw the sinister smile on Zhao Gaos face and his two rolling eyes which were gazing at each of them, they suddenly understood his evil intentions.
Some of the ministers who were timid and yet had a sense of right eousness did not dare to say anything, because to tell lies would make their conscience uneasy and to tell the truth would mean that they would be persecuted by Zhao Gao later. Some ministers with a sense of justice persisted that it was a stag and not a horse. There were still some crafty and fawning ministers who followed Zhao Gao closely in ordinary times. They immediately voiced their support to Zhao Gao, saying to the emperor:"This really in a horse that covers a thousand li a day."
After the event, Zhao Gao punished by various means those ministers with a sense of justice who were not obedient to him, even with whole families of some of those ministers executed.
This story appears in "The Life of the First Emperor of the Qin Dynasty" in The Historical Records written by Sima Qian. From this story people have derived the set phrase "calling a stag a horse" to mean deliberately misrepresenting some thing and misleading the public.
秦二世時(shí)，丞相趙高野心勃勃，日夜盤算著要篡奪皇位?？沙写蟪加卸嗌偃四苈犓麛[布，有多少人反對(duì)他，他心中沒底。于是，他想了一個(gè)辦法，準(zhǔn)備試一試自己的威信，同時(shí)也可以摸清敢于反對(duì)他的人。
一天上朝時(shí)，趙高讓人牽來(lái)一只鹿，滿臉堆笑地對(duì)秦二世說(shuō)：“陛下，我獻(xiàn)給您一匹好馬?！鼻囟酪豢?，心想：這哪里是馬，這分明是一只鹿嘛！便笑著對(duì)趙高說(shuō)：“丞相搞錯(cuò)了，這里一只鹿，你怎么說(shuō)是馬呢？”趙高面不改色心不跳地說(shuō)：“請(qǐng)陛下看清楚，這的確是一匹千里馬?！鼻囟烙挚戳丝茨侵宦梗瑢⑿艑⒁傻卣f(shuō)：“馬的頭上怎么會(huì)長(zhǎng)角呢？”趙高一轉(zhuǎn)身，用手指著眾大臣，大聲說(shuō)：“陛下如果不信我的話，可以問(wèn)問(wèn)眾位大臣?！?BR> 大臣們都被趙高的一派胡言搞得不知所措，私下里嘀咕：這個(gè)趙高搞什么名堂？是鹿是馬這不是明擺著嗎！當(dāng)看到趙高臉上露出陰險(xiǎn)的笑容，兩只眼睛骨碌碌輪流地盯著趙高臉上露出陰險(xiǎn)的笑容，兩只眼睛骨碌碌輪流地盯著每個(gè)人的時(shí)候，大臣們忽然明白了他的用意。
一些膽小又有正義感的人都低下頭，不敢說(shuō)話，因?yàn)檎f(shuō)假話，對(duì)不起自己的良心，說(shuō)真話又怕日后被趙高所害。有些正直的人，堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為是說(shuō)明書而不是馬。還有一些平時(shí)就緊跟趙高的*佞之人立刻表示擁護(hù)趙高的說(shuō)法，對(duì)皇上說(shuō)，“這確是一匹千里馬！”
事后，趙高通過(guò)各種手段把那些不順從自己的正直大臣紛紛治罪，甚至滿門抄斬。

During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC), prince Zhou Xu of the State of Wei killed his brother and became the new emperor. Zhou Xu was a tyrant. He oppressed his people and indulged in wars of agGREssion. By launching wars, he tried to divert the peoples attention and reduce their discontent with him in order to consolidate his dictatorship.
The Duke of the State of Lu leant about Zhou Xus usurpation of state power and his ambitious plan, he asked a senior official, "What do you think about Zhou Xus move? "The official answered, "He indulges in wars , bringing his people much disaster. He wont get their support. And hes capricious, so few of his close friends follow him. He can never achieve his success. In addition, war is like fire. If one launches wars endlessly without restraint, hell eventually burn himself. "
Sure enough, the people of Wei with the help of the State of Chen overthrew Zhou Xu and killed him in less than a year.
Later, people use it to mean that those who do evil will finally ruin themselves.
春秋時(shí)期，衛(wèi)國(guó)的王子州吁殺死了他的哥哥衛(wèi)桓公，成為了衛(wèi)國(guó)的國(guó)君。州吁是個(gè)暴君，他壓迫百姓，到處侵略別的國(guó)家。他想利用戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)來(lái)分散百姓的注意力，減少人們對(duì)他的不滿，鞏固他的專政。
魯國(guó)的君王知道州吁篡奪了王位，還想吞并其他國(guó)家，就問(wèn)他手下的一名官員："你認(rèn)為州吁的目的能達(dá)到嗎?"那位官員說(shuō)道："州吁到處打仗，給人民來(lái)了災(zāi)難。人民不會(huì)支持他。他這個(gè)人又反復(fù)無(wú)常，身邊沒有什么親信。他不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的野心。而且，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)就象火。無(wú)休止地打仗，最后，火會(huì)燒到自己身上。 "
果然，不到一年，衛(wèi)國(guó)人民就在陳國(guó)的幫助下*了州吁的統(tǒng)治，并處死了他。

相傳在兩千年前，燕國(guó)壽陵地方有一位少年，不知道姓啥叫啥，就叫他壽陵少年吧!
這位壽陵少年不愁吃不愁穿，論長(zhǎng)相也算得上中等人材，可他就是缺乏自信心，經(jīng)常無(wú)緣無(wú)故地感到事事不如人，低人一等——衣服是人家的好，飯菜是人家的香，站相坐相也是人家高雅。他見什么學(xué)什么，學(xué)一樣丟一樣，雖然花樣翻新，卻始終不能做好一件事，不知道自己該是什么模樣。
家里的人勸他改一改這個(gè)毛病，他以為是家里人管得太多。親戚、鄰居們，說(shuō)他是狗熊掰棒子，他也根本聽不進(jìn)去。日久天長(zhǎng)，他竟懷疑自己該不該這樣走路，越看越覺得自己走路的姿勢(shì)太笨，太丑了。

邯鄲人走路的姿勢(shì)究竟怎樣美呢?他怎么也想象不出來(lái)。這成了他的心病。終于有一天，他瞞著家人，跑到遙遠(yuǎn)的邯鄲學(xué)走路去了。
一到邯鄲，他感到處處新鮮，簡(jiǎn)直令人眼花繚亂?？吹叫『⒆呗罚X得活潑、美，學(xué);看見老人走路，他覺得穩(wěn)重，學(xué);看到婦女走路，搖擺多姿，學(xué)。就這樣，不過(guò)半月光景，他連走路也不會(huì)了，路費(fèi)也花光了，只好爬著回去了。

相傳在兩千年前，燕國(guó)壽陵地方有一位少年，不知道姓啥叫啥，就叫他壽陵少年吧!
這位壽陵少年不愁吃不愁穿，論長(zhǎng)相也算得上中等人材，可他就是缺乏自信心，經(jīng)常無(wú)緣無(wú)故地感到事事不如人，低人一等——衣服是人家的好，飯菜是人家的香，站相坐相也是人家高雅。他見什么學(xué)什么，學(xué)一樣丟一樣，雖然花樣翻新，卻始終不能做好一件事，不知道自己該是什么模樣。
家里的人勸他改一改這個(gè)毛病，他以為是家里人管得太多。親戚、鄰居們，說(shuō)他是狗熊掰棒子，他也根本聽不進(jìn)去。日久天長(zhǎng)，他竟懷疑自己該不該這樣走路，越看越覺得自己走路的姿勢(shì)太笨，太丑了。
有一天，他在路上碰到幾個(gè)人說(shuō)說(shuō)笑笑，只聽得有人說(shuō)邯鄲人走路姿勢(shì)那叫美。他一聽，對(duì)上了心病，急忙走上前去，想打聽個(gè)明白。不料想，那幾個(gè)人看見他，一陣大笑之后揚(yáng)長(zhǎng)而去。
邯鄲人走路的姿勢(shì)究竟怎樣美呢?他怎么也想象不出來(lái)。這成了他的心病。終于有一天，他瞞著家人，跑到遙遠(yuǎn)的邯鄲學(xué)走路去了。
一到邯鄲，他感到處處新鮮，簡(jiǎn)直令人眼花繚亂?？吹叫『⒆呗罚X得活潑、美，學(xué);看見老人走路，他覺得穩(wěn)重，學(xué);看到婦女走路，搖擺多姿，學(xué)。就這樣，不過(guò)半月光景，他連走路也不會(huì)了，路費(fèi)也花光了，只好爬著回去了。
