He lowers his head and feels depressed(垂頭喪氣)
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 eighth paragraph of this
article is as follows.
After the master heard the questions of the
five poor ghosts, he did not know how to answer.
The five poor ghosts continued to speak to
him.
What kind of person do you want to be?
Everyone has different ideas and choices on this issue.
If you had a piece of precious jade, would
you exchange it for a piece of ordinary leather?
If you have delicious food to eat, would
you envy others for eating vegetable porridge?
Your current behavior, although not
recognized by the external world, is in line with the will of God.
If you have doubts about what we said, then
you can look at the ancient classic books, and you can confirm that what we
said is correct.
Are you really sure you want us to leave
you?
In this world, only we know you best, and
we have never left you in your most difficult times.
After the master heard these words, he fell
into a long silence.
He lowered his head and felt very depressed.
After ten minutes, he made up his mind, and he stood up firmly and bowed to
these poor ghosts.
He says.
Please stay by my side, please continue to
stay in my home, I will treat you as a VIP courtesy.
This idiom means that a person feels
depressed with their head down.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
If you were him, what choice would you make
in the end? What do you think he wanted to express when he wrote this article?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
垂頭喪氣(He lowers his head and feels
depressed)
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。
這篇文章的第八段的大意如下。
這個主人聽到這五個貧窮鬼的提問後，他不知道該如何回答。
這五個貧窮鬼繼續對他說。
你要成為一個怎樣的人呢，關於這個問題，每個人的想法與選擇都是不同的。
你如果有一塊貴重的玉，你會把它拿去跟別人交換一塊普通的皮革嗎?
你如果有仙饌可以吃，你會羨慕別人吃蔬菜稀飯嗎?
你現在的行為，雖然不被外界的世俗所認同，卻是符合天的旨意。
我們說的這些話，你如果有懷疑，那麼你可以看一下古代的經典書籍，你就可以印證我們所說的話是對的。
你真的確定要請我們離開你嗎?
這世界上，只有我們最了解你，我們在你最困難的時候也從未離棄你。
這個主人聽到這些話後，他陷入長長的沉默。
他低著頭感覺很沮喪，十幾分鐘後，他下定決心，他堅定站起來跟這幾個貧窮鬼鞠躬。
他說。
請你們留在我的身邊，請你們繼續留在我家裡，我會把你們當作貴賓禮遇接待你。
這句成語的意思是一個人低著頭感覺很沮喪。
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。
你如果是他，你最後會做怎樣的選擇呢?你覺得他寫這篇文章，想表達什麼呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
