Dangerous as an egg, the metaphor of the situation is very dangerous, like a pile of eggs, at any time there is a possibility of collapse and breaking.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Duke of Jinling ordered the construction of a nine-story platform for pleasure. Gaotai was repaired for three years, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among the domestic people, and the ministers also persuaded the Jin Linggong not to do such a thing as laboring and hurting the people's wealth. However, Jin Xiangong insisted on not listening, and also killed the minister who came to offer advice.
When Xiangguo Xun of the Jin Dynasty heard this, he came to see the Linggong of Jin, who took the crossbow and greeted him. Xun Xi knew that Jin Linggong didn't want to hear his advice, so he said, "I'm not here to give advice, but I can build twelve chess pieces and nine eggs." Xun Xi then went to the table and took out twelve chess pieces, one by one, and laid them flat on the ground, and then took out nine eggs and put them on them one by one. He first placed five pieces on top of the pieces, three on the second floor, and one on the third floor.
Jin Xiangong looked at the barely shelved egg on the tip of the pile, and nervously shouted, "It's too dangerous!" It's too dangerous! Xun Xi said meaningfully at this time, "This is not dangerous, there are more dangerous things than this." The nine-story platform you built has only been in construction for three years, and the people are not happy, the national treasury is empty, if it is invaded by foreign countries, is not our country as dangerous as this tired egg? Jin Linggong listened, was shocked, and quickly ordered to stop building the platform.
Later, people derived the idiom "dangerous as a tired egg" based on the thrilling skill of The Xun Xi Stack Egg. Used to describe an extremely dangerous situation or situation.
