All the people present laughed(哄堂大笑)
During the period from 907 A.D. to 960
A.D., China was very turbulent for more than 50 years.
Many kingdoms rose up quickly, and many
kingdoms quickly died out. This period is called the Five Dynasties and Ten
Kingdoms.
There was a famous writer in the Song
Dynasty. His name is (Ouyang Xiu). (A.D. 1007-A.D. 1072).
In the book he wrote, a story that happened during this period is recorded.
There are two important government
officials, one is (Feng Dao) and the other is (He Ning).
One day, (He Ning) invited (Feng Dao) to
his home for a banquet.
(He Ning) See (Feng Dao)'s shoes. He said
to (Feng Dao).
Wow. You are newly bought shoes. Your shoes
are so beautiful.
I also bought a pair of shoes the other
day.
The pair of shoes I bought are almost
exactly the same as yours.
How much do you buy for this pair of shoes?
(Feng Dao) Slowly raised his left foot and
answered.
900 yuan.
When (He Ning) heard this answer, he turned
his head angrily and said to his housekeeper.
Could you please explain, why did you ask
for 1,800 yuan for the pair of shoes you bought for me a few days ago?
Why are those shoes so expensive.
The housekeeper answered in horror.
I don't know why the price difference is so
much. The price of this pair of shoes is 1,800 yuan, so I spent 1,800 yuan to
buy it.
The atmosphere at the scene became very
tense.
At this time, (Feng Dao) slowly raised his
right foot and said.
This is also 900 yuan.
The atmosphere eased suddenly, and everyone
at the scene laughed.
This idiom was used to describe that all
the people present laughed.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you think (Feng Dao) is telling the
truth? When you face a problem, do you delay judgment to avoid getting angry on
the spot?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
哄堂大笑(All the people present laughed)
中國在西元907-西元960年這段期間內，50多年的時間非常動亂。
很多王國快速興起，很多王國又快速消亡。這段時間被稱為五代十國。
宋王朝有一位著名的文學家。他的名字叫做(歐陽修)。(西元1007年-西元1072年)。
在他寫的書中，紀錄了一個在這段時間內發生的故事。
有兩個重要的政府官員，一個是(馮道)，另一個是(和凝)。
有一天，(和凝)邀請(馮道)到他家參加一場宴會。
(和凝)看見(馮道)的鞋子。他對(馮道)說。
哇。你這是新買的鞋啊。你這雙鞋真好看。
我前幾天也買了一雙鞋。
我買的那一雙鞋、跟你的這雙鞋幾乎一模一樣呢。
你這一雙鞋買多少錢呢。
(馮道)慢慢地舉起左腳並回答。
900元。
當(和凝)聽到這個答案後，他很生氣地轉頭對他的管家說。
請你說明一下，你前幾天幫我買的那一雙鞋，你為何請款1800元?
為何那一雙鞋子那麼貴。
管家驚恐地回答。
我不知道啊為何價格差那麼多啊。這雙鞋標價價1800元，所以我就花了1800元購買啊。
現場氣氛變得很緊張。
這時候，(馮道)才又慢慢地舉起他的右腳說。
這也是900元。
氣氛一下子緩和下來，現場所有的人都笑了。
這句成語被用來形容所以在場的人全部都笑了。
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。
你覺得(馮道)說的是實話嗎?你在面對問題的時候，是否會延遲判斷避免當場發怒呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
