Did you ask the right person (與狐謀皮)
During the Spring and Autumn Period in
China, the king of the Lu Kingdom hoped to improve the effectiveness of the
government.
He summoned (Zuo Qiuming) who had studied
the history of the kingdom.
The king told {Zuo Qiuming}. .
Confucius is a man of high morals, so I am going
to hire him to take charge of the Judicial Court in the kingdom.
Because this position is very important, I
will first invite some ministers in the kingdom to discuss it.
(Zuo Qiuming) Answered the king. Everyone
will definitely oppose this matter.
The king was very curious. He asked (Zuo
Qiuming) why are you so sure that everyone will oppose this appointment.
(Zuo Qiuming) told a story.
Once there was a man who wanted to make a
leather jacket, so he went to the place where foxes lived in the forest.
He said to the foxes. I am going to make a
leather jacket. Who of you wants to give me the fur?
As soon as he finished saying this, all the
foxes hurriedly hid.
This person wants to cook a pot of broth.
He went to the place where the sheep lived in the forest.
He said to the sheep, I want to cook broth.
Who of you wants to give me the meat?
As soon as he finished saying this, all the
sheep ran away.
(Zuo Qiuming) said his conclusion at this
time.
My king, because the administrative
officials of our kingdom are becoming more and more corrupt,
So you want to hire this clean and honest
Confucius as a judicial officer to supervise them.
This personnel order will obviously harm
their interests. How could these vested interests agree?
So I suggest you, if you find someone to
discuss this matter, you find people who have no stake in the decision. You can
get the correct result.
The king nodded in agreement.
This idiom is used to describe a thing, if
the thing you want to do is in conflict with the interests of others, this
thing is impossible to accomplish.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you agree with (Zuo Qiuming)'s point of
view? Do you consider the person's position before asking other people's
questions?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.

與狐謀皮(Did you ask the right person)
中國的春秋時代，魯王國的國王希望能夠提升政府的效能。
他召見了對王國之前的歷史很有研究的(左丘明)。
國王告訴{左丘明}。。
孔子是一個道德很高尚的人，所以我準備聘請他來負責王國內的司法院。
因為這件職務很重要，所以我還會先邀請一些王國內的大臣們一起討論。
(左丘明)回答國王。大家一定會反對這件事。
國王很好奇，他問(左丘明)，你為何如此確定大家會反對這個任命案呢。
(左丘明)便說了一個故事。
從前有一個人，他想做一件皮衣，他就到森林裡面狐狸群住的地方。
他對狐狸們說。我他打算做一件皮衣，你們誰願意把身上的毛皮給我呢。
他這句話一說完，所有狐狸都趕緊躲藏起來。
這個人他想煮一鍋肉湯。他就到森林裡面羊群住的地方。
他對羊群說，我想煮肉湯，你們誰願意把身上的肉給我呢?
他這句話一說完，所有的羊都趕緊逃跑。
(左丘明)這時候說了他的結論。
我的國王啊，因為我們的王國的行政官員現在愈來愈腐敗，
因此你想聘任這一位為人清廉的孔子擔任司法官去監督他們。
這一件人事命令很明顯會損害他們的利益。這些既得利益者怎麼可能會同意呢?
所以我建議你，若你要找人商量這件事情，你要找那些跟這個決定沒有利害關係的人。你才可以得到正確的結果。
國王點頭表示贊同。
這個成語被用來形容一件事情，若是你要做的事情與別人的利益相牴觸，這件事情是不可能完成的。
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。
你認同(左丘明)的觀點嗎?你在問別人問題之前，會先考慮這個人的立場嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
