  故 事 周武王率军灭了商朝后,把有功之臣分封到各地去做诸侯,留下周公在朝辅政。武王死,年幼的成王在周公的扶持下管理朝政。有人散布谣言说周公要废成王,周公表示要像鸟儿那样未雨绸缪,整顿朝政,肃清叛乱,然后自己退隐。
典 故
  1. 武王灭纣后,封管叔、蔡叔及霍叔於商都近郊,以监视殷遗民,号三监。武王薨,成王年幼继位,由叔父周公辅政,致三监不满。管叔等散布流言,谓周公将不利于成王。周公为避嫌疑,远离京城,迁居洛邑。不久,管叔等人与殷纣王之子武庚勾结行叛。周公乃奉成王命,兴师东伐,诛管叔、杀武庚、放蔡叔,收殷余民。周公平乱后,遂写一首《鸱鸮》诗与成王。其诗曰: “趁天未下雨,急剥桑皮,拌以泥灰,以缚门窗。汝居下者,敢欺我哉?”周公诗有讽谏之意,望成王及时制定措施,以止叛乱阴谋。成王虽心中不满,然未敢责之。
  2. “诗经”中有一篇标题为“鸱鸮”的诗,描写一只失去了自己小孩的母鸟,仍然在辛勤的筑巢,其中有几句诗:“迨天之未阴雨,彻彼桑土,绸缪牖户。今此下民,或敢侮予!”意思是说:趁着天还没有下雨的时候,赶快用桑根的皮把鸟巢的空隙缠紧,只有把巢坚固了,才不怕人的侵害。
  后来,大家把这几句诗引伸为“未雨绸缪”,意思是说做任何事情都应该事先准备,以免临时手忙脚乱。
