解释:三代以九鼎为传国宝,楚子向王孙满问鼎,有觊觎周室之意。比喻暗地里企图篡夺。
出处:《左传·宣公三年》:“楚子伐陆浑之戎,遂至于雒,观兵于周疆。定王使王孙满劳楚子,楚子问鼎之大小轻重焉。”南朝·齐·萧赜《诛张敬儿诏》:“假托妖巫,用相震惑,妄设徵祥,潜图问鼎。”
春秋时期,楚庄王陈兵于洛水,向周王朝示威。周定王派王孙满去犒劳楚子,楚子(楚庄王)问王孙满王室中鼎的大小轻重,显示楚庄王有夺取周朝天下的野心。因为夏商周三代以九鼎为传国之宝,问鼎就是有野心谋位。
Three generations took the nine tripods as the national treasure, and the son of Chu sought the throne from Wang Sunman, which meant to covet the Zhou chamber. It is a metaphor for secretly trying to usurp.
