      mistaking a shadow of a bow in the cup as a snake-beset with imaginary fears   
      According to History of fin Biography of Yue Guang, once a county magistrate, Yue Guang invited his secretary, Du Xing to dinner at his home. There was a red bow hanging on the north wall of Yuc"s dining room and its shadow was just reflected in Du"s wine cup. Du misunderstood the shadow as a snake. Although he was very frightened, he dared not turn down his superior"s offer, and he had to swallow this wine with his eyes closed. After he went back, he fell sick at once. Knowing this fact, Yue Guang invited Du Xing to dinner again. Yue offered him still sitting in his original seat, then the shadow like snake was reflected in Du"s cup as before. Yue pointed the shadow and said:"The snake in your cup is nothing but the reflcetion of the red bow on the north wall." Hearing this, Du"s illness disappeared at once.
       From this story comes the idiom: "Bei Gong She Ying"--mistaking the shadow of a bow in a cup as a snake.
      Now we usually use it to describe that one is terribly suspicious and creates disturbance within his ranks.
      
      据《晋书・乐广传》记载,一次,州官乐广请他的师爷杜兴在他家吃饭。在他家厅堂的北墙上挂了一张红弓,影子正好倒映在杜兴的酒杯中。杜兴误以为那是一条蛇的影子,但又不敢拒绝喝他上级所敬的酒,就强忍着把酒喝下。他回家后立即病倒了。
      乐广了解此事后,于是又请杜兴来饮酒,仍让他坐在原来的坐位上,那张弓的影子又映在杜兴的酒杯里。乐广说:“这不过是北墙上红弓的影子而已,哪有什么蛇啊!”杜兴听后,疑虑消失,病全好了。
      由此故事,引来“杯弓蛇影”这个成语。后多用此形容某人疑神疑鬼,自相惊扰。
