He is an outstanding poet. He is one of the most famous poets in Chinese history.

 

There is a story about him recorded in history books.

 

The Tang Dynasty was an era of poets. Almost everyone could write poems and loved to write poems.

 

He was less than 20 years old. He left his hometown and went to the capital of the Tang Dynasty to visit a famous poet.

The name of this poet is (Gu Kuang).

 

The two of them met

 

He says.

Hello. I am Bai Juyi. I am honored to have this opportunity to visit you.

I brought a book for you. This book is my collection of poems.

 

When (Gu Kuang) took the book, he smiled and said to him.

Your name is very interesting.

The literal explanation is that living is easy, and you don't have to worry about anything in life.

 

But maybe you don’t know that the current price level in the capital is very expensive. The cost of living is much higher than in your hometown.

If there is not enough economic foundation, it is quite difficult to live in the capital.

 

He didn't know what to respond. He blushed.

 

(Gu Kuang) opened the book and started reading these poems.

 

He was surprised to find that these poems were really well written.

These poems do not seem to be written by a young man who is not yet 20 years old.

He was immersed in these poems.

 

After more than ten minutes, he read a poem. He felt that the poem was mature in technique, smooth in structure, and profound in meaning.

 

He couldn't help standing up and sighing.

 

He said to Bai Juyi.

 

I take back what I just said.

These poems you wrote are so good. Your talent is amazing.

Even if the price level in the capital is ten times more expensive than it is now, I think you can easily live in the capital.

 

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

If you were (Gu Kuang), would you admit that your previous views were wrong? Before you talk to others, will you be affected by some objective factors, such as age and gender?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

他是一位傑出的詩人。他是中國歷史上最著名的詩人之一。

 

歷史書上記載過一個關於他的故事。

 

唐王朝是一個詩人的時代,幾乎所有人都會寫詩而且熱愛寫詩。

 

他還不到20歲時。他離開家鄉,他到唐王朝的首都去拜訪一位著名的詩人。

這個詩人的名字叫做(顧況)

 

他們兩個人見了面

 

他說。

您好。我是白居易。很榮幸有這機會來拜訪您。

我帶了一本書要送給你,這本書是我的詩集。

 

(顧況)接過書後笑著對他說。

你的名字很有趣。

字面上來解釋就是居住很容易,不用為生活中的任何事情煩惱。

 

但是或許你不知道,現在首都的物價水平很貴啊。生活成本比你個故鄉高得多。

如果沒有足夠的經濟基礎,要在首都中生活可是相當不容易啊。

 

他不知道該回應甚麼。他臉紅了。

 

(顧況)打開了這本書接著開始讀這些詩。

 

他很驚奇的發現這些詩寫得真好。

這些詩完全不像是一個還沒有20歲的年輕人寫的。

他沉浸在這些詩裡面。

 

過了十幾分鐘,他讀到一首詩,他覺得這首詩技巧成熟而且結構流暢而且有很深刻的意涵。

 

他忍不住站起來嘆了一口氣。

 

他對白居易說。

 

我收回我剛才的話。

你寫的這些詩太好了。你的才華太驚人了。

就算首都的物價水平比現在更昂貴十倍,我認為你也可以輕鬆的在首都居住。

 

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。

你如果是(顧況),你會承認自已先前的看法是錯的嗎。你在與他人對話前,是否會被一些客觀因素,如年齡性別等等影響你的看法呢。

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
