You can't beat this dog(白往黑歸)
(Yang Zhu) is one of the most famous
philosophers in Chinese history.
He lives with his brother, whose name is
(Yang Bu).
One day (Yang Bu) went to visit a friend.
It suddenly rained heavily on the way.
He arrived at this friend's house.
The white clothes on his body are
completely wet.
This friend said to him,
The two of us are about the same figure.
Let me change you one of my clothes to prevent you from catching a cold.
He put on the black clothes his friend gave
him.
The conversation between the two of them
ended.
It was still raining when he was going
home.
This friend said to him,
Your clothes have not dried yet. You go
home wearing my clothes and return my clothes to me next time.
He agreed and thanked this friend.
He took his friend's umbrella and walked
back to his home.
He arrived at his home.
A white dog ran out and barked at him. This
dog was raised by him.
He was very angry and scolded the dog
loudly.
This stupid dog, I have raised you for so
many years, don't you know me?
He picked up a stick in the yard and was
about to beat the dog.
(Yang Zhu) Because he heard the barking of
the dog, he went to the yard to find out the situation.
He saw that (Yang Bu) wanted to hit the
dog, so he immediately stopped him.
He said to (Yang Bu).
You can't hit this dog,
Suppose your dog was a white dog when he
went out, but turned into a black dog when he came back.
You might also misunderstand that he is not
your dog.
If you think from another position, you
will have the same reaction as him.
This idiom is used to remind us that we
should put ourselves in the perspective of others to look at problems, and we
must learn to understand others.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
If a person misunderstands you, will you
first review this person or yourself? When you encounter a misunderstanding,
what mentality would you use to solve this problem?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
白往黑歸(You can't beat this dog)
白往黑歸(你不能打這一隻狗)
(楊朱)是中國歷史上最著名的哲學家之一。
他跟他弟弟住在一起，他的弟弟名字叫做(楊布)。
有一天(楊布)去拜訪一個朋友。在途中突然下起大雨。
他到達這個朋友的家。
他身上的白色衣服已經整件都淋溼。
這個朋友便對他說，
我們兩個的身材差不多，我先拿一件我的衣服給你換，以免你感冒。
他就換上朋友給他的黑衣服。
他們兩個人談話結束。
他要回家的時候還在下著雨。
這個朋友便對他說，
你的衣服還沒有乾，你穿著我這件衣服回家，下次再把我的衣服還我。
他表示贊同並謝謝這位朋友。
他拿著朋友的雨傘，走回自己的住家。
他抵達自已的家。
一隻白色的狗跑出來對著他狂吠，這隻狗是他飼養的。
他很生氣並且大聲地罵這隻狗。
這隻笨狗，我已經飼養你那麼多年，你還不認識我嗎。
他拿起院子中的一根棍子，就要打這隻狗。
(楊朱)因為聽到狗吠聲，他走到院子想了解一下情況。
他看見(楊布)想要打狗，他立刻出手制止他。
他對(楊布)說。
你不可以打這隻狗，
假如你這隻狗出門的時候是一隻白狗，但回來的時候變成一隻黑狗。
你說不定也會誤會他不是你的狗。
若換個位置思考，你也會跟他產生一樣的反應啊。
這句成語被用來提醒我們應該設身處地站在別人的角度去看待問題，我們要學會理解別人。
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。
若一個人誤會你，你會先檢討這個人還是自己?你在遭遇誤會的時候，你會用甚麼心態去解決這個問題呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
