Wang Lu was very greedy and took many  bribes. One of his secretaries was equally corrupt, and often schemed  for Wang Lu&#8217;s deeds. One day a man went to the magistrate to lodge a complaint against the  secretary. The secretary&#8217;s crimes were almost the same as the crimes the  magistrate himself committed. Wang Lu was so frightened that he forgot  his proper role in handling the case. Instead of issuing a judgment, he  couldn&#8217;t help writing these words co<em><\/em>ncerning the complaint: &quot;By stirring  the grass, you have startled me who am like a snake under the grass!&quot; <\/p>\n<p>  <span>Explanation:<\/span><br \/>  &quot;Stir the grass and startle the snake,&quot; the original meaning is that  punishment for someone can serve as a warning to others. But people now  use the idiom to indicate that premature actions which put the enemy on  guard.<\/p>\n<p>  <span>Usage Example:<\/span><br \/>  The thief has already come in, so it&#8217;s best not to stir the grass and  startle the snake so that he will not discover that there are people at  home.<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-1024794824\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u6253\u8349\u60ca\u86c7 D\u0103c\u0103oj\u012bngsh&eacute; To stir the grass and startle the snake The Story: Long long ago, a county magistrate named Wang<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chinese-idiom","category-chinese-words-phrases"],"views":1171,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4252\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chinesemoment.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
