He went back to do his previous job(重作馮婦)

 He went back to do his previous job(重作馮婦)

 

From 475 BC to 221 BC, there are a total of 254 years.

This period of time is called the era of warring states in Chinese history.

 

During this period of time, China split into more than 20 kingdoms, each of which competed with each other for resources, and wars broke out everywhere.

 

There is an important scholar in Confucianism whose name is (Meng Ke).

He is a famous thinker and he is also very enthusiastic.

 

He once went to the Qi Kingdom, Song Kingdom, Teng Kingdom, Wei Kingdom and Lu Kingdom to promote his political ideas.

In his book, he recorded a story that happened in the Qi Kingdom.

 

After he stayed in the Qi Kingdom for a few years, the king of the Qi Kingdom treated him very politely.

But because the king has not adopted his political ideas, he decided to leave the Qi Kingdom.

 

At that time, the kingdom was experiencing a famine, and a friend of his was talking to him. His friend's name is (Chen Zhen).

 

(Chen Zhen) said.

We happened to be famine when you came to our kingdom a few years ago.

You suggested that the king take out food for disaster relief.

At that time, the king listened to your opinion, and many victims were saved as a result.

 

Now you are leaving our Qi Kingdom. We happened to be famine again.

Many victims of the disaster hope that you once again suggest that the king provide food for disaster relief.

But you probably won't do that anymore.

 

He replied.

My current situation looks like (Feng Fu). .

 

(Chen Zhen) asked.

Who is (Feng Fu).

 

He told a story.

(Refer to this blog 2021/08/12)

 

After telling the story, he paused for a few seconds and then said to (Chen Zhen).

What do you think I will do in my current situation.

 

This idiom means that after a person leaves the job, after a period of time, he goes back to do his previous job again.

 

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

Do you think that if he suggested that the king provide relief, would the king accept his suggestion? If you were him, what would you do?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

重作馮婦(He went back to do his previous job)

 

 

西元前475年到西元前221年,共有254年。

 

這一段時間在中國歷史上被稱作戰國時代。

這一段時間內,中國分裂成20多個王國,每個王國彼此爭奪資源,到處爆發戰爭。

 

儒家有一個重要的學者,他的名字叫做(孟軻)。

他是一個著名的思想家,他也非常的有熱忱。

 

他曾經到齊王國、宋王國、滕王國、魏王國與魯王國等地方去宣傳他的政治理念。

他的書中,記載了一個他在齊王國發生的故事。

 

他在齊王國待了幾年後,齊王國的國王對他很禮遇。

但是由於國王一直沒有採納他的政治主張,所以他決定要離開齊王國。

 

當時王國正好遭遇飢荒,他的一個朋友正在與他對談。他這個朋友的名字叫做(陳臻)

 

(陳臻)說。

前幾年你來到我們王國的時候我們剛好遇到飢荒。

你當時建議國王拿出糧食賑災。

那一次國王聽你的意見,很多災民也因此得救。

 

現在你已經要離開我們齊王國了。我們又剛好遭遇飢荒。

有很多災民都希望你再次建議國王拿出糧食賑災。

但是你大概不會這樣做了吧。

 

他回答。

我現在的情況,跟(馮婦)好像啊。。

 

(陳臻)問。

誰是(馮婦)

 

他就說了一個故事。

(參考本部落格2021/08/12)

 

說完這個故事,他停頓了幾秒鐘然後對(陳臻)說。

你覺得以我現在的這種處境,我會如何做呢。

 

 

這句成語的意思是一個人離開工作崗位之後,過了一段時間,他再次回去做他之前的工作。

 

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。

你認為他如果建議國王賑災,國王會接受他的建議嗎?你如果是他,你會怎樣做呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
