Words have no wings but they fly faster than they fly (不翼而飛)
In the Spring and Autumn Period of China,
there was a newly appointed king in the Qi Kingdom. His name was (Jiang Xiaobai).
He was very young when he took office. The
age that still likes to play.
Therefore, he arranged a travel plan for
himself. He wanted to see everywhere in his kingdom.
He wanted to go east to play in the water.
Then go south by the beach, walking and playing along the way.
An old minister of the Qi Kingdom heard
this plan of the king and told the king that he could refer to the old king's
itinerary.
The young king didn't know the schedule of
the old king, so he asked a wise minister in the country.
The wise minister said to him.
I am very supportive of your trip. What do
you want from this trip? Does your trip have a purpose?
There are four reasons for the king of a kingdom
to travel.
The first is that the king travels in the
spring. The king can visit the farmers in the kingdom. Is there enough seeds to
plant? Is there any place that needs government assistance?
The second is that the king goes on a trip
in the autumn. At this time, the purpose of the trip is to care about the
farmers' harvest this year. If it is not good, the government should arrange a
subsidy plan.
The third is that the king has no purpose
in traveling, he just wants to hang out, and in order to support his trip, he
may also increase the people's taxes.
The fourth is that the king doesn't want to
work at all. He evades his responsibilities, so he spends more days traveling
than he does at work.
The old king usually chose the first two
travel purposes. So the people in our kingdom live very richly.
Which one do you choose?
After the new king listened. He thanked the
wise minister.
The wise minister saw that the new king was
very humble. He continued to speak to the king.
There are several things in our lives that
we can’t see, but these things can have a great impact on us.
The first is words, and the second is the
emotions between people. The third is the change of the natural environment.
You are now a king, so I suggest that you
should be cautious about what you say, care about the needs of the people, and
face changes in the environment with a serious attitude.
If you do this, I believe our country will
continue to prosper and prosper.
The new king once again thanked the wise
minister.
This idiom only extracts one sentence in
the story, and it is mainly used as a metaphor for having to be cautious with
one's own words, because it will spread quickly as soon as you export it.
But over time, it is now used as a metaphor
for the loss of objects for no reason.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you like traveling? What if you like
your purpose of traveling? Do you think these three things we can't see are
important?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
不翼而飛(Words have no wings but they fly
faster than they fly)
中國的春秋時代，齊王國有一個新就任的國王，他的名字叫做姜小白。
他就任的時候年紀還很輕。還是很喜歡玩的年紀。
因次他便為自己安排了一個旅行的計畫。他想要到自己王國到處看看。
他想先往東方走去海邊玩水。然後海邊往南走，一路上邊走邊玩。
齊王國的一位年紀很大的大臣，聽到這個國王的這個計畫，便跟國王說他可以參考老國王的行程。
年輕的國王不知道老國王的行程安排，就問了國家內一個很有智慧的大臣。
這位有智慧的大臣便對他說。
我很支持你的這次旅行，你想要藉由這次旅行得到甚麼呢。你的旅行是否有目的呢。
一個王國的國王出門旅行的理由，總共有下列四種，
第一種是國王在春天去旅行，國王可以訪問王國境內的農夫們、有足夠的種子可以撥種嗎?有沒有需要政府協助的地方呢。
第二種是國王在秋天出去旅行，這個時節，旅行的目的就是關心農夫們今年的收成好嗎，萬一不好，政府就應該安排補助計畫。
第三種是國王出遊並沒有目的，他只是想到處閒逛，而且為了支持他的這次旅行，他還可能會增加人民的稅賦。
第四種是國王根本不想工作，他逃避自己的責任，所以他外出旅遊的日子超過他辦公的日子。
老國王通常都選擇前面兩種旅行目的。所以我們王國內人民生活得很富足。
你要選哪一種呢。
新國王聽完後後。便對這位有智慧的大臣表示感謝。
這位有智慧的大臣看見新的國王態度很謙卑。他便繼續對國王說。
我們生活中有幾種東西我們看不見，但是這幾樣卻會對我們造成很大的影響。
第一個是言語，第二個是人與人之間的情感。第三個則是自然環境的變化。
你現在的身分已經是國王了，所以我建議你，應該謹慎自己說出口的話，更應該關心人民的需要，更應該用嚴肅的態度去面對環境的變化。
若你這樣做，我相信我們的國家會持續的繁榮強盛。
新國王再次感謝這位有智慧的大臣。
這句成語只擷取這故事中的一句話，主要被用來比喻必須謹慎自己的言語，因為一出口便會快速傳播。
但經過時間的演變，現在則多被用來比喻物品無故遺失。
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。
你喜歡旅行嗎，若你喜歡你的旅行目的是甚麼呢?你認為這位有智慧的大臣說的這三件我們看不見的東西重要嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
