  词 目 鸣金收兵
  发 音 míng jīn shōu bīng
  释 义 用敲锣等发出信号撤兵回营。比喻战斗暂时结束。 鸣金,敲锣,古代作战收兵信号。
  出 处 《荀子·议兵》:“闻鼓声而进,闻金声而退。”
  示 例 见孙安勇猛,卢先锋令~。
  ★明·施耐庵《水浒全传》第九十七回
  击鼓和鸣金是古代军事指挥的号令。击鼓就是敲战鼓;“鸣金”就是“鸣钲”,并非“鸣锣”《说文解字》“钲,似铃,柄中上下通”。钲是古代的一种乐器.用铜制成.颜色似金.
  《荀子 汉兵》:“闻鼓声而进,闻金声而退。”意击鼓号令进攻,鸣金号令收兵。 关于“击鼓鸣金”的来历,有一种传说供大家参考:黄帝在与蚩尤作战时制造的是革鼓。他从东海流波山上猎获了一种叫做‘夔’的动物,它的形状像牛,全身青黑色,发出幽幽的光亮,头上不长角,而且只有一只脚。这种动物目光如电,叫声如雷,十分威武雄壮。当时黄帝为它的叫声所倾倒,就剥下它的皮制成八十面鼓,让玄女娘娘亲自击鼓,顿时声似雷霆,直传出五百里。这就是后世“击鼓进军,鸣金收兵”的来历。
