The Eastern Han Dynasty in China had a
famous minister named (Kong Rong). He is a descendant of the 20th generation of
Confucius.
He lived in the last years of the Eastern
Han Dynasty. The king of the Eastern Han Dynasty had no actual power, and all
power was in the hands of an important minister whose name was (Cao Cao).
He wrote a letter to (Cao Cao).
Time flies so fast and can never stay.
I am 52 years old this year, and you are 2
years younger than me, so you are also 50 years old.
I know that you have very lofty ideals. You
hope to unify the entire China. You hope to end the current chaotic situation.
You want to enable people to regain a peaceful life.
But you have to achieve this goal, there is
an important key.
The key is that there are as many capable
people in our kingdom as possible.
You know this historical story of how the
Yan Kingdom went from being weak to being strong during the Warring States
Period in China.

in vain article)
Gold gems do not have feet, but why do
these items fall into people's hands?
This is because people like gold, so they
will try their best to get it.
If you want more of these capable people to
come to our kingdom, this may seem difficult, but it is actually easier than
you get a lot of gold.
You just have to act and clearly express
your desires.
When these capable people know that they
have the opportunity to develop their talents in our kingdom.
These capable people will find a way to
come to our kingdom by themselves.
I have a good friend whose name is (Sheng
Xiaozhang).
He is such a capable person.
Moreover, his life is very difficult
recently, and his life is in danger at any time.
If we write a letter to hire him, he will
definitely come to serve our kingdom.
Please forgive me for talking too much, I
know you are smarter than me, and you know the truth.
I will write this letter just to remind
you.
After the (Cao Cao) read this letter, he agreed
with his proposal, and did so.
This idiom is used as a metaphor for a
thing that can spread quickly without being promoted
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Do you always want to complete all the work
by yourself? Do you think a capable person or gold is more valuable?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.

中國的東漢王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(孔融)。他是孔子的第20代的子孫。
他所生活的年代是東漢王朝的末年，東漢王國的國王沒有實際的權力，所有的權力掌握在一個重要的大臣手上，這個大臣的名字是(曹操)。
他寫過一封信給(曹操)。
時間過得真快而且永遠無法停留。
今年我已經52歲了，你比我小2歲，所以你也已經50歲了。
我知道你有很遠大的理想，你希望能夠統一整個中國，你希望結束目前混亂的情勢。你希望使人們重新獲得和平的生活。
但你要達成這個目標，有一個重要的關鍵。
這個關鍵就是我們王國中，能幹的人要愈多愈好。
中國的戰國時代，燕王國是如何從弱小變為強大，這個歷史故事你是知道的。
(參見本部落格2020/11/02，千金買骨(The money is not in vain)這篇文章)
黃金寶石並沒有腳，但為何這些物品會落到人們的手上呢。
這是因為人們喜歡黃金，所以會想盡辦法得到。
你如果想要更多這些能幹的人來到我們王國，這件事看起來困難但其實比你去得到許多黃金更簡單。
你只要行動並清楚地表現出你的渴望。
當這些能幹的人知道他們在我們王國能夠有機會發揮他們的才能。
這些能幹的人就會自己想辦法過來我們王國。
我有一個好朋友，這個好朋友的名字叫做(盛孝章)。
他就是這樣一個能幹的人。
而且最近他的生活很困苦，他隨時會有生命危險。
如果我們寫一封信聘請他，他一定會來為我們王國效力。
請原諒我的多言，我知道你比我聰明，你懂得這個道理。
我會寫這一封信，只是想要提醒你而已。
(曹操)看了這一封信後，很認同他的提議，就照這樣去做了。
這句成語被用來比喻一件事物不用推廣，也能迅速傳播
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。
你總是希望自己完成所有的工作嗎?你認為一個有能力的人與黃金那一個會比較貴重呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
