There is a large plum grove in front(望梅止渴)
(Liu Yiqing) is one of the most famous
editors in Chinese history. There is a story in the book he edited.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty in
China, China was in turmoil at that time.
There is a famous general whose name is
(Cao Cao).
He led the government troops of the Han
Dynasty on an expedition.
The troops marched for a long distance, but
unexpectedly there was no place to replenish water along the road.
All the soldiers became thirsty and
anxious.
(Cao Cao) knew he had to solve this problem
quickly.
He ordered several officers to go on
horseback to find a place to replenish water.
At the same time, he instructed one of
these officers to return immediately in half an hour.
After half an hour, the officer came back.
He reported his findings loudly to (Cao
Cao).
He said. Not far in front, there is a large
plum forest, and all the plum trees are covered with plums.
Everyone can eat plums to quench their
thirst.
When the soldiers heard the news, everyone
secreted saliva from their mouths when they thought of the sour plums.
Everyone lifted their spirits, and the
restless mood calmed down.
A few more hours passed. Another officer
came back and said that he had found a place to add water.
This crisis in the army was lifted.
This idiom is used to describe a person's
wish cannot be realized, he has to use fantasy to comfort himself or others.
But there is another positive meaning,
which is to remind a person that when encountering difficulties, he should use
his desire for success to motivate himself to persevere.

望梅止渴(There is a large plum grove in front)
(劉義慶)是中國歷史上最著名的主編之一，在他編輯的書上有一個故事。
在中國的東漢時代末年，當時的中國動亂不安。
有一位著名的將軍，他的名字叫做(曹操)。
他帶領著漢朝的政府軍隊出征。
部隊長途行軍，但沒想到沿路上竟然都沒有補充水的地方。
所有的士兵愈來愈口渴也愈來愈焦慮。
(曹操)知道他必須要趕緊解決這個問題。
他命令幾個軍官，叫他們騎馬去尋找可以補充水的地方。
同時他指示這幾個軍官中的其中一位半個小時後立刻回來。
過了半個小時，這個軍官回來。
他跟(曹操)大聲的報告他的發現。
他說。前面不遠處，有一片很大的梅樹林，所有的梅樹上面長滿了梅子。
所有人都可以吃梅子來止渴。
士兵們聽到這個消息，每個人想到酸酸的梅子的時候嘴巴中都分泌出了唾液。
所有人都提振起精神，躁動的情緒也就平靜下來。
又過了幾個小時。另一個軍官回來說他已經發現了補充水的地方。
軍隊的這個危機便解除。
這句成語被用來形容一個人的願望無法實現，他只好用空想來安慰自己或他人。
但另外有一個積極的意思，那就是提醒一個人在遇到困難時，應該用自己對成功的渴望來激勵自己堅持下去。
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。
