Sustained forbearance is more valuable than
gold(百忍成金)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous person whose name was (Zhang Gongyi).
There is a story about him in history
books.
He experienced the Northern Qi Dynasty, Sui
Dynasty and Tang Dynasty in his life.
His family is very prosperous, with many
people. There are more than hundreds of people.
His whole family is very harmonious and
concentric. Therefore, the kings of every dynasty respected him very much and
praised him many times.
When he was old, the king of the Tang
Dynasty specially visited him once.
The king asked during the conversation.
What is your secret to managing such a huge
family?
Can you share it with me.
He smiled and said.
Okay, but this secret is very difficult.
May I write it down and give it to you.
The king nodded happily.
He took out the pen and paper, and he wrote
the first character, which is a character for forbearance.
He wrote the second and third words, both
of which are also the word forbearance.
The king quietly watched him write more
than 100 characters of forbearance in a row.
The king interrupted him to continue
writing.
The king said to him with tears.
Thank you for sharing, this secret is
really difficult, but I will always remember it in my heart.
This idiom means that forbearance is very
precious.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
did you have after hearing this story.
How do you think a group can maintain
harmony? What do you think should be the manifestation of love?
I hope this story will give you some new
gains.
百忍成金(Sustained forbearance is more
valuable than gold)
中國的唐王朝時代，有一個著名的人，他的名字叫做(張公藝)。
歷史書中記載了一個他的故事。
他的一生經歷了北齊王朝，隋王朝與唐王朝。
他的家族非常的興旺，有很多的人。有超過好幾百人。
他的整個家族非常的和諧與同心。所以每一個王朝的國王都對他非常的敬重並且屢次給予他表揚。
在他年老的時候，有一次唐王朝的國王特別來拜訪他。
在對談中國王問。
你管理那麼龐大的家族的秘訣為何呢。
你可以分享給我嗎。
他微笑著說。
好的，但是這個秘訣很困難，我寫下來送給你好嗎。
國王開心的點頭。
他拿出筆與紙，他寫了第1個字，這是一個忍字。
他寫了第2個字，第3個字，這兩個字也都是忍這個字。
國王在旁邊靜靜的看著他連續寫了100多的忍字。
國王打斷他繼續寫字。
國王流著淚對他說。
謝謝你的分享，這個祕訣的確很困難，但我會永遠記在我的心中。
這句成語的意思是忍非常的貴重。
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。
你認為一個群體要如何保持和睦呢?你認為愛的表現應該是甚麼呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
