books.
The capital of the Tang Dynasty was named

People in the capital enjoy walking and
picnicking by this pond during their holidays.
One year, the central government announced
a new annual personnel order, and he was assigned to be the governor of
(Xuanzhou).
A few days before taking office, he and a
few good friends went for a walk by the pond.
He and a few of his friends took a walk
along the lake. They sat down by the lake when they were tired, and they
chatted happily and loudly.
Not far from them, a group of young people
were also sitting on the grass by the lakeside drinking and chatting.
One of them, a young man with a very gorgeous
dress, suddenly stood up and scolded them loudly.
You are talking too loudly and disturbing
us, please be quiet.
The young man's behavior annoyed him a

I apologize for disturbing you.
After saying this, he asked the young man.
You are very handsome and your clothes are
gorgeous, what is your occupation?
The young man answered.
I am an official. My position is not high,
I am the mayor of Guangde City in Xuanzhou.
The young man asked him.
So what is your occupation?
He answered.
I am also an official, my position is not high,
I am just a governor, the governor of Xuanzhou.

sobered up.
He and his friends stood up in panic and
apologized to him, and then the group of young people left in a hurry.

他是唐王朝一個著名的宰相。他也是一個虔誠的佛教徒。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
唐朝的首都名字叫做長安，首都的南邊有一個很大的池塘。
首都的人們在放假的時候很喜歡到這個池塘旁散步與野餐。
有一年，中央政府公布新的年度人事命令，他被派調為(宣州)的州長。
就任前幾天，他和幾個好朋友一起到這座池塘邊散步。
他和他的幾個朋友沿著湖邊散步，他們累了就在湖濱坐下，他們開心的大聲聊天。
離他們不遠處，有一群年輕人也坐在湖濱旁的草地上邊喝酒邊聊天。
其中有一個衣服很華麗的年輕人突然站起來大聲地斥責他們。
你們說話的聲音太大聲吵到我們了，你們安靜一點。
這個年輕人的行為讓他有點生氣，所以他走過去對他說。
我為我們打擾到你表示歉意。
說完這句話後，他問這個年輕人。
你長得很帥而且你的衣服很華麗，請問你是什麼職業呢?
這個年輕人回答。
我是一位官員。我的職位也不，我是宣州的廣德市的市長。
這個年輕人問他。
那你是甚麼職業呢?
他回答。
我也是一個官員，我的職位也不大，我只是一個州長，宣州的州長。
這個年輕人一聽到這句話，酒都醒了。
他與他的朋友們都很惶恐的立刻站起來，並且向他表示歉意，然後這群年輕人立刻倉皇離去。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你在與陌生人交談時，會保持適當的禮貌嗎?你會因為一個人的衣物去評價一個人的身分嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
