About (Changsun Sheng). There is a story
about him in history books.
During the period from 200 AD to 589 AD,
China was very turbulent for more than 300 years.
Many kingdoms quickly rose up, and many
kingdoms quickly died out.
In the following AD 589-907, China
prospered for more than 300 years.
This period is the famous Sui Dynasty and
Tang Dynasty in China.
(Changsun Sheng) was born at this moment of
generational change.
In this era because of frequent wars, all
the nobles are good at horseback riding and archery.
He showed extraordinary talent when he was
young.
Both of his skills far exceed those of his
peers.
At that time, there was a kingdom in China
that was the Kingdom of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
The Northern Zhou Kingdom and the Turkic
Kingdom wanted to strengthen the relationship between the two kingdoms through
intermarriage.
(Changsun Sheng) was chosen as the escort,
he protected the princess to the Turkic Kingdom.
The Turkic Kingdom is a kingdom composed of
nomads. They especially respect people who are good at horse riding and archery.
The king of the Turkic Kingdom became good
friends with him.
They often go out hunting together.
Once, when a group of them were hunting,
suddenly the sound of an eagle came from the sky.
Everyone looked up.
There are two eagles fighting for a rabbit
in the air.
The king said to him.
Eagles are the hardest bird to shoot. It is
rare for them to fly at low altitude. Can you shoot them down?
He accepted the challenge.
He drew an arrow, then aimed to shoot the
arrow.
This arrow pierced through the bodies of
two eagles at the same time, and (Chang Sun Sheng) shot two eagles with just
one arrow.
The people at the scene were stunned.
This story later became an idiom.
This idiom is used as a metaphor for
achieving two goals in one move. This is also one of the most commonly used
idioms in China.

他是一位傑出的將軍。他也是中國歷史上著名的神箭手之一。
關於(長孫晟)。歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。
中國在西元200-西元589年這段期間內，300多年的時間非常動亂。
很多王國快速興起，很多王國又快速消亡。
在隨後的西元589-西元907年，中國繁榮了300多年。
這段時間就是中國著名的隋王朝與唐王朝。
(長孫晟)就出生在這個世代交替的時刻。
在這個時代因為戰爭頻繁，所有的貴族都擅長騎馬與射箭。
當他年輕時便展現了過人的天賦。
他這兩項技能都遠遠超過同輩的友人。
當時中國有一個王國是北周王國，
北周王國與突厥王國要藉由通婚，強化兩個王國的關係。
(長孫晟)被選作護送的使者，他保護著公主到達突厥王國。
突厥王國是一個由遊牧民族組成的王國。他們特別尊敬擅長騎馬與射箭的人。
突厥王國的國王與他兩個人成為好朋友。
他們常常一起出去打獵。
有一次，他們一群人去打獵的時候，突然空中傳來老鷹的聲音。
大家抬頭一看。
有兩隻老鷹正在空中爭奪一隻兔子。
國王便對他說。
老鷹是最難射到的一種鳥，難得他們飛在低空，你可以把他們射下來嗎。
他接受了這個挑戰。
他抽出一支箭，然後瞄準射箭。
這一支箭同時貫穿兩隻老鷹的身體，(長孫晟)只用一支箭就射下了兩隻老鷹。
現場的人都驚呆了。
這個故事後來也成為一句成語。
這句成語被用來比喻一次舉動就同時達到兩個目標。這也是一句中國人最常使用的成語之一。
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。
你有過這種經驗嗎，做一件事情然後同時得到兩種不同的結果呢。你認為成功是偶然的嗎還是需要刻苦的練習呢。
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
