  故事:公元前547年,楚国出兵攻打郑国,穿封戍和公子合围郑国大夫皇颉,穿封戍俘获了他。在战后,公子围争功,穿封戍不服,请太宰伯州犁裁决。伯州犁有意把手抬高对皇颉介绍公子围,把手降低介绍穿封戍。皇颉会意说是公子围俘获他的。
  典故
  “上下其手”这句成语便是出于这个故事;是表鲁襄公二十六年(公元前547年)夏天,楚国进攻郑国(国都在今新郑市)。楚军的前锋将领有两位,一位是平民出身的猛将穿封戍,另一位是楚康王的弟弟公子圉。穿封戍英勇善战,机智多谋,公子圉出身贵族,胆小怕事,所以每每征战,公子圉总是跟在穿封戍的后面。
  战争刚一打响,穿封戍便一马当先,冲上前去,和郑军守将皇颉厮杀开来。几个回合下来,皇颉渐渐力不从心。仓皇之中,皇颉马失前蹄,滚下鞍来。穿封戍跃马飞奔过去,将皇颉活捉。
  战争结束后,公子圉心里很不舒服,他觉得,这么好一个机会,平民出身的穿封戍竟然抢了风头,自己却颜面扫地。于是,他横下心来,耍赖说皇颉是自己俘虏的。穿封戍早对公子圉的仗势欺人怀有不满,这次自然不肯相让。二人争得面红耳赤,差点动起武来。
  后来,他们请随军的太宰伯洲犁做公证人,判定是谁的功劳。伯洲犁命人把皇颉带来,向他说明原委,然后故意把手抬得很高,毕恭毕敬地指着公子圉说:“这位是公子圉,他是我国国君最宠爱的弟弟!”接着,伯洲犁又把手压得很低,不屑一顾地指着穿封戍说:“这个人叫穿封戍,是我国方城外的一名小县尹。你看清楚了,这二位中的哪一位生擒了你?”
  很明显,伯洲犁有意偏袒公子圉。皇颉从伯洲犁的手势中明白了他的意图,于是指认说是公子圉俘获了自己,还拍马屁说:“公子圉身手过人,骁勇善战,在下服输。”于是伯洲犁便把生擒皇颉的功劳判给了公子圉。不久,公子圉加封,伯洲犁提升,穿封戍被贬,皇颉脱险。示枉法作弊,颠倒是非的意思。 在现在的社会中,这种情形是常常会发生的:譬如有人做了不法的事情,知道罪有应得,难逃被惩处的厄运;于是暗地里进行贿赂,或请托亲友奔走求情,求予包庇,结果大事 化小,小事化无,仍得消遥法外。像这种参与其事的人,从中枉法舞弊,便可以说是:“上下其手”了。
成语故事
  上下其手成语故事 > 上下其手
   春秋楚襄王二十六年。楚国出兵侵略郑国。以当时楚国那么强大,弱小的郑国,实在没有能力抵抗的,结果,郑国遭遇到战败的厄运,连郑王颉也被楚将穿封戌俘虏了。战事结束后,楚军中有楚王弟公子围,想冒认俘获郑颉的功劳,说郑王颉是由他俘获的,于是穿封戌和公子围二人便发生争执,彼此都不肯让步,一时没有办法解决得来。后来,他们便请伯犁作公正人,判定这是谁的功劳。
  伯州犁的解纷办法本是很公正的,他主张要知道这是谁的功劳,最好是问问被俘的郑王。于是命人带了郑王颉来,伯州犁便向他说明原委,接着手伸二指,用上手指代表楚王弟公子围,用下手指代表楚将穿封戌,然后问他是被谁俘获的。郑王颉因被穿封戌俘虏,很是恨他,便指着上手指,表示是被公子围所俘虏。于是,伯州犁便判定这是公子围的功劳。
