天高地厚

from 成语典故

天高地厚 【释义】本义指天地广大辽阔。后人以此句斥责那些自以为是的人。比喻不知任务艰巨、事理复杂。也有比喻恩情深厚的。 【出处】春秋·佚名《诗经·小雅·正月》 远古时期,传说天地开辟以前宇宙是混混沌沌的一团气,好像鸡蛋一样。盘古氏把这一团气劈开以后,于是轻清之气上浮就成了天,天之精华凝结而为日月星辰,这时的天,一天比一天高出一丈左右;重浊之气下沉就成了地,地之灵气融结为山川河流,这时的地,一天比一天加厚一丈左右,天能覆万物、地能载万物,所以天地间万物群生,唯人最贵,为万物之灵。 过了1万8千年,天地仍在增高、加厚。但天有多高、地有多厚,谁也说不清,却只能说天很高地很厚,而“盘古氏”劈开气团,立了开天辟地之功,成为人类征服自然的伟大气魄和创造精神的象征。 《诗经·小雅·正月》中说:“谓天盖高,不敢不局;谓地盖厚,不敢不嵴。”由此引申出“天高地厚”这条成语。
