I want to live like a hermit(枕石漱流)
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty of China, there
was a famous minister named (Sun Chu).
The history book records a story from his
youth.
He is in conversation with a good friend
whose name is (Wang Ji).
He says.
I am so tired of my current life, I really
want to stay away from the crowd, I want to leave this bustling city.
(Wang Ji) said.
Then where are you going, where do you want
to live.
He replied.
I want to live on a mountain without
people, I want to live alone and quietly.
Have you ever heard a poem written by (Cao
Cao).
The poem describes a person living quietly
on the mountain alone. This person uses stream water as a pillow, and then he
rinses his mouth with stones.
I am longing for this kind of life, how
leisurely it feels.
(Wang Ji) said to him with a big smile.
You made a slip of the tongue.
I remember that the content of this poem
should be that there is a person living quietly on the mountain alone. This
person uses a stone as a pillow, and then he rinses his mouth with stream
water. Haha.
He answered calmly and immediately.
I said this deliberately.
I use stream water as a pillow, so I want
to clean my ears.
I use stones to rinse my mouth so that I
want to exercise my teeth.
This idiom is used to describe a person
living a life like a hermit.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story?
If you have a choice, do you want to stay
away from the city or live in the city? If you make a mistake, will you
directly admit your mistake or find a way to cover it up?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
枕石漱流(I want to live like a hermit)
中國的東晉王朝，有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫(孫楚)。
歷史書上記載了他年輕時的一個故事。
他與一個好朋友正在對談，這個好朋友的名字叫做(王濟)。
他說。
我好厭倦我現在的生活啊，我好想要遠離人群，我想要離開這個繁華的城市。
(王濟)說。
那你要去哪裡呢，你想要到甚麼地方生活。
他回答。
我想要居住在一個沒有人的山上，我想要一個人孤單的安靜地過日子。
你有聽過(曹操)寫的一首詩嗎。
這首詩裡面描述，有一個人安靜地獨自在山上生活，這個人拿溪水當枕頭，然後他用石頭來漱口。
我很嚮往這種生活，這種感覺多麼的悠閒啊。
(王濟)大笑著對他說。
你犯了一個口誤。
我記得這首詩的內容應該是有一個人安靜地獨自在山上生活，這個人拿石頭當枕頭，然後他用溪水漱口。哈哈。
他很平靜的立刻回答。
我是故意這樣說的啊。
我拿溪水當枕頭，這樣我想要清洗我的耳朵啊。
我拿石頭來漱口，這樣我想要鍛鍊我的牙齒啊。
這句成語被用來形容一個人過著一種隱士一般一般的生活。
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?
如果可以選擇，你希望遠離都市還是生活在都市中呢?若你犯錯時，你會直接承認錯誤還是想辦法掩蓋呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
