 Does your knowledge stand up to practical verification (紙上談兵)


During the Warring States Period in China, the king of the Zhao Kingdom faced a choice.

 

The war between the Kingdom of Qin and the Kingdom of Zhao has been deadlocked for a long time.

Therefore, he wanted to appoint another young general as the front-line commander in chief. The young general's name is (Zhao Kuo).

 

(Zhao Kuo)'s father is dead, but his father was a great general of the Zhao Kingdom when he was alive.

(Zhao Kuo) very much admired his father's ability to defend the kingdom, so he studied many books on war methods since he was a child.

 

(Zhao Kuo)'s father and him often discussed many important battles in Chinese history.

In response to these cases, (Zhao Kuo)'s comments are also very accurate.

 

But his father is very worried, because his father can see his pride and arrogance from (Zhao Kuo)'s expression.

His father repeatedly warned him before his death.

 

I believe the knowledge you get from reading books is useful. But if you really go on the battlefield, you must remain flexible and cautious.

War is not as simple as playing a game. War is cruel. Every decision you make may affect the life or death of everyone.

 

(Zhao Kuo) After hearing his father's warning, he didn't take it seriously. He despised his father's motto.

The king of the Zhao Kingdom finally decided to appoint (Zhao Kuo) as the commander-in-chief of the war.

 

The outcome of this war was tragic. Zhao Kingdom was defeated. 400,000 soldiers in Zhao Kingdom were killed.

 

This idiom is used to describe some people who are familiar with theory but cannot solve practical problems.

 

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

Do you actually apply the knowledge you have acquired and then review the results of the practice? Do you keep an open mind when facing other peoples warnings?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

紙上談兵(Does your knowledge stand up to practical verification)

 

在中國的戰國時代,趙王國的國王面臨一個抉擇。

 

秦王國與趙王國雙方的戰爭已經僵持了很久了。

因此他想另外派任一個年紀輕的青年將軍擔任前線總司令。這位青年將軍的名字叫做(趙括)

 

(趙括)的父親已經死了,但他的父親活著的時候是趙王國的一個偉大的將領。

(趙括)非常崇拜自己父親能夠保衛王國,所以他從小就讀很多有關戰爭方法的書。

 

(趙括)的父親跟他,兩個人也常常會討論中國歷史上的許多場重要的戰役。

針對這些案例,(趙括)的評論也都非常的精準。

但是他的父親卻很憂心,因為他的父親從(趙括)的表情中,看出他的驕傲與自大。

 

他的父親在生前一再告誡他。

你看書得到的知識我相信是有用的。但是若你真的上戰場,你必需保持彈性與謹慎。

戰爭不像是玩一場遊戲一樣簡單,戰爭是很殘酷的,你的每一個決定都有可能影響到所有人的生或死。

 

(趙括)聽到父親的告誡後,他不以為意,他輕視父親的箴言。

趙王國的國王最後決定指派(趙括)擔任戰爭的總司令。

 

這場戰爭的結局很悲慘,是趙王國大敗,趙王國有40萬名軍人被殺。

 

這句成語被用來形容一些人,對於理論很熟悉,但無法解決實際的問題。

 

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。

你所習得的知識,是否有實際運用然後檢討其實踐結果呢?你在面別人的告誡時,是否保持一種開放的心態呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
