Wake up at the first rooster cry (聞雞起舞)
In the Jin Dynasty of China, there was a
famous general whose name was (Zu Ti).
When (Zu Ti) was young, he lived with a
good friend named (Liu Kun).
The two of them have the same ambitions and
interests.
They all want to join the army, and they
all want to serve their country.
One day, when (Zu Ti) was sleeping, he
heard a rooster cry.
(Zu Ti) awakened, so he kicked the one
sleeping on the same bed (Liu Kun).
(Zu Ti) said to (Liu Kun). Did you hear the
rooster crowing?
Because (Liu Kun) was woken up suddenly, he
responded angrily. It's normal for a cock to croak in the early morning, which
is not surprising.
At this time (Zu Ti) apologized to (Liu
Kun) and said. please do not get upset.
I woke up when I heard the rooster cry when
I was sleeping.
I have a feeling that this rooster is
reminding us to get up quickly to exercise and learn.
We are all still young, and we all want to
fulfill our dreams early.
I think we should all get up early
afterwards. At the first rooster cry every day, we get up and study. Do you
think this idea is good?
When (Liu Kun) heard what (Zu Ti) said, his
anger subsided. He smiled and agreed.
This idiom is used to metaphorically have
an aspiring person, set a higher standard for himself and study hard.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
ideas do you have after listening to this story?
How do you treat your dreams? Like (Zu Ti),
or is it delayed every day?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
聞雞起舞 (Wake up at the first rooster cry)
中國的晉朝時代，有一個著名的將軍，他的名字叫做(祖逖)。
在(祖逖)年輕的時候，他與一個名字叫做(劉琨)的好朋友住在一起。
他們兩個人有著相同的志向與興趣。
他們都想要參軍，他們都希望可以報效自已的國家。
有一天，當(祖逖)在睡覺的時候，他聽到了公雞啼聲。
(祖逖)驚醒了，他便用腳踢了睡在同一張床上的(劉琨)。
(祖逖)對(劉琨)說。你聽見公雞啼了嗎。
因為(劉琨)突然被吵醒，所以很生氣的回答。在凌晨公雞啼是很正常的事情啊，這並不奇怪啊。
這時(祖逖)就跟(劉琨)道歉並且說。請你不要生氣。
我剛才睡覺的時候、聽見公雞啼聲所以驚醒了。
我有一種感覺，是這隻公雞在提醒我們趕緊起床鍛鍊與學習。
我們現在都還年輕，也都想要早點完成自已的夢想。
我覺得我們之後應該都早點起床，每天第一聲公雞啼的時候，我們就起床念書。你覺得這個想法好不好。
當(劉琨)聽完(祖逖)說的話，他的氣就消退了。他笑著表示贊同。
這個成語用來比喻有一個有志氣的人，給自已設定更高的標準並且努力學習。
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。
你是如何對待自已的夢想呢?是像(祖逖)一樣，還是每天拖延呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
