During the Warring States Period in China,
(Han Fei) wrote a fable story.
There is a businessman from Chu Kingdom who
took many precious jewels to the market for sale.
The rarest of this batch of jewelry is a
particularly large and beautiful pearl.
This businessman specially ordered a small
box with top-grade wood.
After the box was finished, the businessman
used many beautiful emeralds and roses to decorate the box.
The businessman put this beautiful pearl in
this box.
There was a man passing by his stall, and
he was attracted by the beautiful box and the pearls inside.
The man considered it very seriously, and
then he bought it with cash.
But something surprising happened. After
the man paid the money, he returned the pearl to the businessman, and he
happily took the beautifully crafted box and left.
This idiom is used as a metaphor, and some
people are confused by the gorgeous appearance and give up the real valuable
substance.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
What do you think is the most important
thing in your life? If life is a business, do you think you finally got a box
or a pearl?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
中國的戰國時代，(韓非)寫了一個寓言故事。
有一個楚國的商人，他帶著許多珍貴的珠寶去市集銷售。
這一批珠寶中，最稀有的是一顆特別大、特別漂亮的珍珠。
這個商人他特別用頂級的木材訂製了一個小盒子。
盒子做好了之後，這個商人又用了許多美麗的翡翠與玫瑰花來裝飾這個盒子。
這個商人把這一顆美麗的珍珠放在這個盒子中。
有一個人經過他的攤位，他被這個漂亮的盒子與裡面的珍珠所吸引。
這個人很認真考慮，然後他掏出現金購買了它。
但是令人驚訝的事情發生了，這個人付完錢後，他把珍珠還給了商人，然後他高興的拿著這個作工精美的盒子離開了。
這個成語被用作比喻，有一些人被華麗的外表所迷惑，而放棄了真正有價值的實質內容。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為自己的生命中，真正最重要的事情是什麼呢?如果人生是一場買賣，你覺得你最後拿到的是盒子，還是珍珠呢?
期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
