有人问,古代最早用活人殉葬,后来改用俑来殉葬,是进步,是好事,为什么用“始作俑者”这个成语比喻“带头做坏事的人”呢?“始作俑者”出自《孟子·梁惠王上》,是孟子引述孔子的话时说的。原句是:“仲尼曰:始作俑者,其无后乎!”意思是:“开始用俑殉葬的人。大概没有后嗣了吧!”后来人们用“始作俑者”来比喻恶劣风气的开创者。 Some people ask that the earliest ancient people sacrificed their lives with living people, and later turned to use figurines to sacrifice life, which is a good thing. Why is it used as an idol metaphor? Who leads the bad things? “Mencius Liang Hui Wang,” Mencius quoted Confucius as saying. The original sentence is: “Zhong Nai said: the initiator, no reclusive! ” Means: “began to use figurines burial people. Probably no heirs! ” Later, people use the “initiator” to describe the poor The pioneer of the atmosphere.
