Can you see the performance on stage(矮子看戲)
During the Southern Song Dynasty in China.
There is a famous scholar whose name is Zhu Xi.
In the conversation with the students, he
shared his own learning experience.
He said.
After the course was over, a student found
that he still had a lot of things he didn't understand.
He then went to the teacher and asked a lot
of questions.
After he got the teacher's answer, he went
on to confirm one by one whether he knew everything.
And he uses this knowledge in life
This student is not smart.
But in the end he can fully acquire this
knowledge.
In addition, the learning style of most students
is like a short person watching a stage play.
Many people blocked his sight. He can't see
what is being performed on the stage now.
But when everyone laughed, this person also
laughed.
One person next to him asked him.
Can you see the performance on stage. Why
are you laughing.
He replied.
I can't see it. But everyone laughed, it
must be that the content of this stage show is very interesting.
So I laughed.
This idiom is used to remind us that we
should build our own independent judgment ability instead of blindly following
others to act.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you think that what everyone agrees with
must be right? Do you follow suit because everyone does the same thing?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.

矮子看戲)Can you see the performance on stage)
在中國的南宋王朝時代。有一個著名的學者，他的名字叫做朱熹。
他在與學生對談中，分享了自已學習的經驗。
他說。
在課程結束之後，有一個學生發現自已還有許多不懂的地方。
他就再去找老師問了很多問題。
他得到老師的解答之後，他接著逐一確認自已是否都已經了解。
而且他把這些知識使用在生活上
這一個學生並不聰明。
可是最終他可以完全獲得這項知識。
另外大多數學生的學習方式，就好像一個矮個子的人去觀看一齣舞台劇。
很多人擋住了他的視線。他看不清楚現在舞台上正在演出甚麼。
但眾人笑的時候這個人也跟著大笑。
旁邊有一個人就問他。
你看得到舞台上的演出嗎。你笑甚麼。
他回答。
我看不見啊。但是大家都笑了，一定是這這齣舞台戲的內容很有趣。
所以我就笑了。
這句成語被用來提醒我們，我們應該建立自已獨立的判斷能力，而不是盲目地跟著別人去行動。
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。
你認為大家都認同的事情就一定會是對的嗎?你會因為大家做一樣的事情你就跟著做嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
