I should warn myself not to make the same mistake(懲前毖後)
(The Book of Songs) is the earliest
compilation of poems in China.
There are 305 poems in this book.
These poems were written over 500 years,
from the 11th century BC to the 6th century BC.
The content of these poems is mainly
divided into three categories.
The first category is folk poems from all
over China at that time
The second category is the poetry of the
Zhou Dynasty that ruled China at that time.
The third category is the poems used by the
royal family and nobles in the Zhou Dynasty.
This idiom comes from a poem written by the
king of the Zhou Dynasty.
I should learn from the lesson and avoid
making the same mistake again.
I should be careful to avoid being stung by
the grass, and I should be careful to avoid being stung by the bees.
I should remember a lot of offenses, at
first it was like a cute bird in a bird's nest.
But when I didn't pay attention, this
little bird had become a big bird that could only spread its wings and fly
high.
Our kingdom is going through many
tribulations, but I let our kingdom fall into the grass of suffering again.
I should learn from the lesson and avoid
making the same mistake again.
This idiom is used to describe a person
taking past mistakes as a lesson and being cautious not to make mistakes again.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
Have you made any memorable mistakes? In
what way do you remind yourself not to make the same mistake again?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
懲前毖後(I should warn myself not to make the same
mistake)
(詩經)是中國最早的詩歌合輯。
這本書中有305首詩。
這些詩寫的時間橫跨500年，從西元前11世紀到西元前6世紀。
這些詩的內容主要分為三類。
第一類是當時中國各地的民間詩歌
第二類是當時統治中國的周王朝的詩歌。
第三類是周王朝中的王室與貴族祭祀用的詩歌。
這句成語就是出自其中周王朝的國王寫的一首詩。
我應該吸取教訓，避免再犯一樣的錯誤。
我應該小心避免被小草刺傷，我應該小心避免被蜜蜂螫傷。
我應該記得很多的過犯，剛開始的時候就像是一隻鳥巢中可愛的小鳥。
但就在我沒有注意的時候，這隻小鳥已經變成一隻能展翅高飛的大鳥。
我們王國正經歷著許多的患難，但我卻又讓我們王國又陷入苦難的草叢中。
我應該吸取教訓，避免再犯一樣的錯誤。
這句成語是形容一個人以從前的過失為教訓，戒慎不再犯錯。
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。
你有犯過甚麼記憶深刻的錯誤嗎?你用何種方式提醒自已不要再犯一樣的錯誤呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫
