忧心如焚

from 成语典故

忧心如焚 【释义】形容十分焦急就像心里火烧一样。 【出处】春秋·佚名《诗经·小雅·节南山》 周幽王是有名的昏君。他重用太师尹氏,致使政治日趋混乱,国势日趋衰败,人心离散。当时,有一个名叫家父的大臣,对国家的政治情况非常忧虑。他写了一首诗,题为《节南山》。在这首诗中,他揭露了太师尹氏的罪恶,表达了老百姓的忧愤。这首诗一共有十章,在第一章中写道: 节彼南山,维石岩岩。 赫赫师尹,民具尔瞻。 忧心如惔,不敢戏谈。 国既卒斩,何用不监? 这首诗的大意是说:高峻的南山啊,上面有垒垒的岩石。威名显赫的尹太师啊,人民的眼睛都在盯着你。人民忧愁得心中好像火烧一般,可是谁也不敢笑谈。周朝眼看就要完蛋,天公为何不睁眼看看? 周幽王不听大夫们的忠告,最终被杀死在骊山脚下,导致西周灭亡。诗中的“忧心如惔”后演化成“忧心如焚”的成语。
