The really important words should be simple(要言不煩)

 

There is a very important classic in China. The name of this classic is (Book of Changes).

(Book of Changes) This book is considered to be the foundation of all classic Chinese books.

 

Many scholars have studied this book throughout their lives.

This book is also used by some people as an important reference book for predicting the future and fortune-telling.

 

There was a famous fortune teller in the Three Kingdoms Period in China, his name was (Guan Lu).

 

There is a story about him in history books.

 

One day, two officials were talking to him. One of these two officials is called (He Yan) and the other is called (Deng Yang).

 

(He Yan) asked him 9 questions in a row.

Based on his experience in studying the Book of Changes, he puts forward a corresponding suggestion for each question.

 

When (He Yan) listened to his answer, said to him.

You are really amazing. I think you are the number one expert in the subject of I Ching.

 

When (Deng Yang) heard (He Yan) finish this sentence, (Deng Yang) said to him.

You are called the master of the Book of Changes. But why did you seldom quote the words in the Book of Changes when you were just talking.

 

He answered with a smile.

Only those who really understand the Book of Changes can express the profound truths contained in the Book of Changes with simple words and sentences that everyone understands.

 

When (He Yan) heard his answer.

(He Yan) shouted and said

I agree with this argument. The really important words should be simple.

 

This idiom is used to describe a person's words simple but important.

 

 

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

Do you think it is easy to say simple things complicated or to say complicated things simple and easy? What do you think will be the performance of scholars who truly understand a specific knowledge?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

要言不煩(The really important words should be simple)

 

中國有一本非常重要的經典,這本經典的名字叫做(易經)

(易經)這本書被認為是所有中國經典書籍的根本。

 

歷代有很多學者終生研究這一本書。

這本書也被一些人用來作為預測未來與算命的重要參考書。

 

中國的三國時代有一位著名的算命先生,他的名字叫做(管輅)

 

歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。

 

有一天,有兩個官員正在與他對話。這兩個官員一個叫做(何晏),另一個叫做(鄧颺)

 

(何晏)連續問了他9個問題。

他根據他研究易經的心得,針對每個問題提出一個相對應的建議。

 

(何晏)聽完他的解答後對他說。

你真的太厲害了,我認為你是當代第一的易經這門學科的專家。

 

(鄧颺)聽到(何晏)說完這句話後,(鄧颺)對他說。

你被稱作是易經的大師。但是為何你剛剛在言談之中,你很少引用易經中的話語呢。

 

他笑著回答。

真正懂得易經的人,才就能夠用簡單的,大家都懂的字句去表達易經這本書中蘊含的深奧道理。

 

(何晏)聽到他這句回答。

(何晏)大聲叫好並說

我認同這個論點。真正重要的話語就應該是簡單的。

 

這句成語被用形容一個人說話言詞簡單但重要。

 

 

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。

你認為把簡單的事情說的複雜容易還是把複雜的事情說的簡單容易呢?你認為真正懂得一門專門知識的學者會有怎樣的表現呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
