A leaf can completely obscure your view(一葉障目)
During the Three Kingdoms Period in China,
there was a famous writer named (Handan Chun). He wrote a book. It is the
earliest collection of jokes in China.
There is a story in this book.
A person in the Kingdom of Chu is reading a
book. An interesting incident is recorded in this book.
When the mantis is hunting the cicada, the
mantis will hide behind a leaf.
Because of this, the cicada cannot see this
praying mantis.
He misunderstood. He thought that there is
a kind of magic leaf in nature, which can keep the mantis from being seen by
the cicada.
He went outside to search around, and he
finally found a praying mantis about to catch a cicada.
He observes quietly.
What is written in this book is correct.
The praying mantis hid behind a leaf, and
then the praying mantis successfully caught the cicada.
He felt excited, he went to pick this leaf,
but accidentally the leaf fell to the ground.
There are many fallen leaves on the ground.
He could not tell which leaf had magic.
He wrapped up all the leaves in that block
on the ground and took home.
After he got home, he tried leaf by leaf.
Every time he took a leaf to cover his
eyes, he asked his wife if she could see him.
Of course his wife can see him every time.
After an hour, his wife was very impatient
and angry.
When he picked up a leaf to cover his eyes,
his wife saw him, but said to him, I can't see you this time.
He was very happy, he thought he finally
found this magical leaf,
The next day, he took this leaf to go
shopping.
He entered a shop, he covered his eyes with
this leaf,
He picked up the goods in the shop and left
without checking out.
The owner caught him and asked him why he
was stealing.
He said to the owner. Why can you see me.
This idiom is used to remind us that a leaf
can cover our eyes. A small prejudice can also prevent us from fully
understanding a thing.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Is there a leaf in your life? How can you
be sure that you are not covered by a leaf that you are not aware of?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
一葉障目(A leaf can completely obscure your
view)
中國的三國時代，有一個著名的文學家名字叫做(邯鄲淳)。他寫了一本書。是中國最早的笑話集。
這本書中有一個故事。
楚王國有一個人正在看一本書。這本書中記載一件有趣的事。
螳螂在捕蟬的時候，螳螂會躲在一片樹葉後面。
因為這樣蟬就看不到這一隻螳螂。
他誤會了，他認為自然界中，有一種魔法葉子，這片魔法葉子可以使螳螂不被蟬看見。
他就到戶外去四處搜尋，他終於發現有一隻螳螂正要捕捉一隻蟬。
他靜靜地觀察。
這本書上寫的是對的。
這一隻螳螂躲在一片樹葉後面，接著這隻螳螂順利地捕到這一隻蟬。
他感覺興奮，他去摘這一片葉子，但不小心這片葉子掉到地上。
地上有許多落葉。他無法分辨那一片葉子具有魔法。
他便把地上那一個區塊的所有葉子都包起來帶回家。
他回家後便一片葉子一片葉子的試。
他每拿一片葉子遮在自已的眼睛前，便問自已的妻子她是否可以看見他。
他的妻子當然每次都看得見他。
過了一個小時，他的妻子很不耐煩也很生氣。
他拿起一片葉子遮住自已眼睛的時候，他的妻子看的見他，但卻對他說，我這一次看不到你了。
他非常開心，他認為他終於找到這一片具有魔法的葉子了，
第二天，他拿著這一片樹葉去逛街。
他進了一間店鋪，他把這一片樹葉遮著自已的眼睛，
他拿起店鋪中的商品他沒有結帳就要離開。
店主人抓住他，並且問他為何要偷東西。
他對店主人說。為何你看得見我。
這句成語被用來提醒我們，一片樹葉就可遮住我們的眼睛。一個小小的偏見也會妨礙我們全面理解一件事情。
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。
你的生活中有片樹葉嗎?你如何確定你沒有被一片你沒有覺察的樹葉遮住眼睛呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
