He is a genius among geniuses(才高八斗)
There was a famous poet in the period of
the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China, his name was (Xie Lingyun).
There is a story about him in history
books.
His grandfather was a famous official of
the Western Jin Dynasty, and his family had the greatest political power at
that time.
He has been very smart since he was a
child, and he is very much loved by his family.
Once, his grandfather said at a family
gathering.
I am so accomplished, but my son is very
mediocre.
My son is so stupid, but why is his son a
genius.
He did not live in the capital, but the
nobles and commoners in the capital were frantically collecting every poem he
wrote.
His living conditions are so good, and he
is so talented, so he is very proud.
He thinks that he is the most outstanding
person in his contemporaries.
Although he is so conceited, he still has
an idol.
This idol is a genius poet of the Wei
Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms era in China. The name of this poet is (Cao
Zhi).
Once, after drinking with a friend, he said
to his friend with emotion and pride.
If the talents of all people in China are
tangible and measurable, the total of these talents is 10 points.
Cao Zhi alone should account for 8 points
and I have 1 point.
10 points minus 9 points and there is 1
point left, right? The sum of all of you is equal to this 1 point.
This idiom is used to describe a person as
a genius among geniuses.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Who is your idol? Do you like him because
of what qualities or abilities of this idol, or do you like him just because of
his looks?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
才高八斗(He is a genius among geniuses)
中國南北王朝時代有一個著名的詩人，他的名字是(謝靈運)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他的祖父是西晉王朝著名的官員，他的家族擁有當時最龐大的政治實力。
他從小就非常的聰明，他非常的受到家人的寵愛。
有一次，他的祖父在一場家族聚會中說。
我自己是如此的有成就，但是我的兒子卻非常的平庸。
我的兒子是如此的笨，但為何他的兒子卻是一個天才呢。
他沒有住在首都，但是首都中的貴族與平民都瘋狂地蒐藏他寫的每一首詩。
他的生活條件是如此的好，他又如此的有才華，所以他很驕傲。
他認為自已是同時代中最傑出的那一個人。
他雖然如此自負，但他還是有一個偶像。
這個偶像是中國的三國時代，魏王國的一位天才詩人，這個詩人的名字叫做(曹植)。
有一次，他在與朋友喝酒之後，他很感慨又驕傲地對朋友說。
如果整個中國全部所有人的天賦是有形的是可以計量的，這些天賦加起來的合計是10分。
曹植一個人應該就佔了8分而我有1分。
10分減9分還剩下1分對嗎?你們全部所有人的總和就等於這1分。
這句成語被用來形容一個人是天才中的天才。
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。
你的偶像是誰呢?你因為這個偶像的甚麼特質或能力所以喜歡他，還是你只是因為他的長相就喜歡他呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
