Wash away the dirt from a piece of jade and
polish it carefully(刮垢磨光)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous official who was also a famous writer. His name is (Han Yu).
He is very upright. He wrote an article.
The content of this article is a
conversation between a Confucian teacher and his students.
At the Confucian Academy in the capital, a
senior teacher told all the students in class.
We live in pretty good times, our current
king is fair, and we have a lot of officials now who are clean and competent.
The current king has established a very
good system.
This system can help our kingdom to collect
and select talents.
This system can also give you young people
the opportunity to hone,
You young people are like pieces of jade
just unearthed.
Just take the dirt off your body and polish
it carefully, and you can show your worth.
So I encourage you, you should focus on
improving your own work ability and moral level.
As long as you become a professional and
upright person, you will surely be valued by the king, and you will surely
become an important pillar in our kingdom.
There may be a few government officials who
are not impartial, but you should not focus on these people.
You have to believe that as long as you get
better you will be seen.
This idiom means to remove a person's lack
and make it shine.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you keep yourself from working hard
because of the injustice of others? What kind of person do you want to hone
yourself into?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
刮垢磨光)(Wash away the dirt from a piece of
jade and polish it carefully)
中國的唐王朝時代，有一位著名的官員，他也是一個著名的文學家。他的名字是(韓愈)。
他非常正直。他寫過一篇文章。
這篇文章的內容是一個儒家老師與他的學生們的對談。
在首都的儒家學院，一個資深的老師在課堂上他對所有的學生說。
我們生活在一個相當好的時代，我們現在的國王很公正，我們現在有很多官員都很清廉且有能力。
現在的國王建立了一套很好的制度。
這套制度可以幫助我們王國蒐集人才與挑選人才。
這套制度也能夠讓你們這些年輕人獲得磨練的機會，
你們這些年輕人就像是一塊塊剛出土的玉石。
只要把你們身上的污垢清除掉再仔細打磨，你們就可以展現出你們的價值。
所以我鼓勵你們，你們應該把焦點放在提高自己的工作能力與道德水平。
只要你們成為一個專業又正直的人，你們就一定會受國王重視，你們一定可以成為我們王國中的重要棟樑。
或許有少數的政府官員不夠公正，但你們不應該把焦點放在這些人身上。
你們要相信，只要你們變得更好你們就一定會被看見。
這句成語的意思是將一個人的缺失除去，使其光芒顯現。
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。
你會因為別人的不公正而讓自己不努力進取嗎?你想磨練自已成為怎樣的人呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
