He is like a fly flying around.He is like a dog without ideals. (蠅營狗苟)
During the Tang Dynasty in China, there was
a famous official who was also a famous writer. His name is (Han Yu).
There is a very unique custom among ancient
Chinese folk.
At that time, on the last day of the first
month, people would put porridge and shabby clothes at the door of their homes
to worship the poor ghosts.
People at the time believed that this was
the only way to keep these poor ghosts away.
He wrote an interesting and meaningful
article on this subject.
The gist of the sixth paragraph of this
article is as follows.
The master paused, the master getting more
and more angry.
Said the master.
You live in my house, you influence my
behavior,
You have made me miserable, you have made
me disgusted by others.
My current situation is caused by you.
You made me so poor to this day, and you
made me fall into lies and ridicule from others.
There are two thoughts inside of me, and
these two thoughts tug at each other.
I regret my behavior every morning, but by
the evening I revert to my old behavior pattern.
You are despicable and shameless to pester
me. Every time I finally drive you away, you come back to me in a blink of an
eye. "
The meaning of this idiom is to describe a
person who is looking for opportunities everywhere in the hope of making profits,
and a person who has no lofty ideals.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you ever tried to correct those bad
habits but have been unable to succeed? When the forces of good and evil within
you are pulling each other, which voice will you most likely listen to?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain
蠅營狗苟(He is like a fly flying around.He is
like a dog without ideals.)
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)。
中國古代民間有一種很有特色的風俗。
當時的人們會在正月的最後一天，在自己家的門口，放上稀飯與破舊的衣服祭拜貧窮鬼。
當時的人們認為，只有這樣做才可以使這些貧窮鬼遠離。
他以此為主題，寫過一篇有趣又含義深刻的文章。
這篇文章的第六段的大意如下。
這個主人停頓了一下，這個主人愈來愈生氣。
這個主人說。
你們住在我的家裡，你們影響了我的行為，
你們讓我遭遇災禍，你們使我被他人所厭惡。
我現在的狀況都是你們所造成的。
你們使我到現在還是如此貧窮，你們讓我陷入別人謊言與譏諷。
我的內心裏面有兩個想法，這兩個想法彼此拉鋸。
我每天早上都悔恨我的行爲，但是到了傍晚卻又恢復原有的行為模式。
你們卑劣無恥地糾纏我，我每次好不容易把你們趕走，你們轉眼卻又回到我身邊。”
這句成語的意思是形容一個人到處找機會希望可以賺取利益，一個人沒有崇高的理想。
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。
你是否有想要改正那些壞習慣但是一直無法成功呢?當你的內心善與惡的力量彼此拉扯時，你多半會聽從那一個聲音呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
