I'm like a frightened snake in the grass(打草驚蛇)
Between the Tang Dynasty and the Song
Dynasty, China was very turbulent for about 70 years.
Many warlords rely on force to form small kingdoms.
The life spans of these kingdoms are quite
short.
One of the kingdoms is the Southern Tang
Kingdom.
In the Kingdom of Southern Tang. There is a
county called (Dangtu). The county head's name is (Wang Lu).
In that turbulent era, government officials
in every kingdom were corrupt.
(Wang Lu) is no exception.
When he was reading the official document
one day, he saw a letter of complaint.
Several people jointly accused a county
government official of corruption and accepted bribes.
He was taken aback.
Because this county government official is
his lackey, the general public does not know that he is using this official to
accept bribes.
He did not handle this case.
He wrote his instructions to the accused
official on this document.
These people are like people walking on the
grassland. They use sticks to tap the grass as they walk.
I am like a snake hiding in the grass, and
I have discovered the arrival of these people.
Our next behavior must be more careful.
A few years later, the Southern Tang
Kingdom perished, and the official documents of the county government were
exposed.
The people discovered the truth about this
matter.
This is a commonly used idiom that reminds
us that before dealing with the enemy, we should remain calm and avoid the
enemy being alert and precautionary.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
If someone wants to bribe you, what choice
would you make? If you have a lot of money but are worried and afraid every
day, would you be willing?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
打草驚蛇(I'm like a frightened snake in the
grass)
在唐王朝與宋王朝中間，中國大約70年非常動亂。
許多軍閥憑藉著武力，成立一個個的小王國。
這些王國的壽命都相當短。
其中有一個王國是南唐王國。
南唐王國中。有一個縣叫做(當塗)。縣長的名字叫做(王魯)。
在那個動亂的時代，每個王國的政府官員都很腐敗。
(王魯)也不例外。
他有一天在看公文的時候，看見一封投訴信。
好幾個百姓聯合控訴一個縣政府的官員貪污並且收受賄絡。
他嚇了一大跳。
因為這個縣政府的官員是他的走狗，一般民眾並不知道他利用這個官員在收受賄絡。
這個案件他沒有處理。
他在這份文件上寫下他給這個被指控的官員的指示。
這些人他們就像是用行走在草原上的人，他們邊走邊用棍子撥打草叢。
我就像是躲在草叢中的蛇一樣，已經發現這些人的到來。
我們接下來的行為要更加小心。
南唐王國幾年後滅亡，縣府的公文曝光。
百姓們才發現這件事情的真相。
這是一句常用的成語，提醒我們在對付敵人之前，應該要保持沉穩，避免敵人有所警覺而預先防備。
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。
如果有人想要賄絡你，你會做甚麼選擇呢?你如果有很多錢但是每天都很擔憂害怕，你願意嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
