What you hear and see will affect you
unknowingly.(耳濡目染)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous writer who was also a very good minister. His name was (Han Yu).
When he was 47 years old, he had a good
friend who died. The name of this good friend is (Fang Qi).
(Han Yu) wrote an epitaph for him.
The key points in the article are as
follows.
When I recalled my good friend, I first
thought of his grandfather and father.
Both his grandfather and father are very
upright people, and both have held important positions in the central
government.
I think because he has lived in this
environment since he was a child,
He saw and heard the actions and words of
his grandfather and father every day.
Therefore, although he did not study
specifically, he has many good virtues like his grandfather and father.
His work ability is very good, and he has
great management ability, but he never boast of his ability.
His life is simple, but if his relatives
and friends are in need, he will do his best to help and he is not stingy.
Regardless of whether he encounters good
times or bad times, he always maintains a humble attitude.
Although this good friend of mine has
passed away, when I saw his son, I saw that many of his virtues were left in
his son.
I wrote this epitaph in memory of him.
This idiom is used to describe what a
person often hears and sees will have a great impact on him.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.
What do you think is the most effective way to educate a child? When you die, what kind of memory do you want to leave to your family?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
耳濡目染(What you hear and see will affect you
unknowingly.)
中國的唐王朝時代，有一個著名的文學家，他也是一個很優秀的大臣，他的名字是(韓愈)。
他47歲的時候，他有一個好朋友死了。這個好朋友名字叫做(房啓)。
(韓愈)為他寫了一篇墓誌銘。
文章中重點如下。
當我追憶我這位好朋友時，我先想到了他的爺爺與爸爸。
他的爺爺與爸爸都是一個很正直的人，也都曾經擔任過中央政府很重要的職位。
我想因為他從小就生活在這個環境中，
他每天看見與聽見他的爺爺與父親的行為與言語。
因此他雖然沒有特地學習，但他身上有許多跟他的爺爺與父親一樣的好的美德。
他的工作能力很好，也有很棒的管理能力，但是他從不誇耀自己的能力。
他的生活很簡約，但是如果他的親朋好友有需要，他會盡全力去幫忙而且毫不吝嗇。
他不管遭遇順境或是逆境時，他都一樣保持謙和的態度。
我的這個好朋友雖然已經過世，但我看到他的兒子時，我看見他的許多美德在他兒子身上留了下來。
我為了紀念他所以我寫了這篇墓誌銘。
這句成語被用來形容一個人經常聽到看到的東西會對他產生很大的影響。
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。
你認為教育一個小孩最有效的方式是甚麼呢?當你死後，你想留下甚麼樣的記憶給自已的家人呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
