Everyone has a different opinion on this(言人人殊)
Among the founding heroes of the Han
Dynasty in China, there was a famous general who was also the second prime
minister of the Han Dynasty. His name is (Cao Can).
His story is recorded in the history books.
After the establishment of the Han Dynasty,
the king sealed a piece of land to his eldest son. The name of the king's
eldest son is (Liu Ying).
The main area of this land is in
present-day Shandong Province.
There are more than 70 cities in this land,
and the city of (Qufu) where the founder of Confucianism (Confucius) lived is
one of them.
Because (Liu Ying) was very young, the king
ordered him to assist (Liu Ying) in governing the land.
At this time, the Han Dynasty was not long
established, so many systems and norms had not yet been established.
He spent the first half of his life on the battlefield,
and he had no experience in governing a piece of land.
He summoned many Confucian scholars and
local elders from this land.
He held a symposium to listen and gather
their opinions.
The outcome of this meeting was not good,
because everyone felt that their views were right, and often everyone had
different views on one thing.
He was troubled because he didn't know how
to integrate everyone's opinions.
A few days later, he heard that there was a
reclusive old Taoist scholar on this land, and he went to ask the old scholar
for advice.
The old scholar said to him.
The idea of Taoism is very simple, you
don't need to make too many too detailed rules, you just need to make the basic
principles clear.
The simpler the way and ideas you manage
the people, the easier it will be for the people to follow, and the people will
naturally be able to live in peace.
He agreed with the opinion of this old
Taoist scholar, and he suggested (Liu Ying) to govern this piece of land
according to the Taoist management method.
(Liu Ying) Follow his advice.
A few years later, the results of this land
governance were very good, and he was deeply trusted by (Liu Ying).
This idiom means that everyone has a
different opinion on the matter.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you ever been in a situation where you
don't know how to integrate everyone's opinions? If you were him, would you
humbly ask different people for their opinions?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.

中國的漢王朝的開國功臣中，有一個著名的將軍，他也是漢王朝的第二任宰相。他的名字叫做(曹參)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
漢王朝建立後，國王封了一塊土地給他的長子。國王的長子的名字叫做(劉盈)。
這塊土地的主要範圍在現今的山東省。
這塊土地中有70幾座城市，儒家的創始者(孔子)所居住的(曲阜)市就是其中之一。
因為(劉盈)很年輕，所以國王命令他協助(劉盈)治理這一塊土地。
此時漢王朝建立不久，所以很多制度與規範都尚未建立。
他的前半生都在戰場上，他也沒有治理一塊土地的經驗。
他便召集了這塊土地上的許多儒家的學者還有當地的耆老。
他舉辦了一場座談會，傾聽並且蒐集這些人的意見。
這場會議的結果並不好，因為每個人都覺得自己的看法是對的，往往針對一件事情每個人都有各自不同的觀點。
他很困擾因為他不知道該如何整合所有人的意見。
幾天後，他聽說這塊土地上，有一位隱居的道家的老學者，他就去請求這位老學者提供意見。
這位老學者對他說。
道家的想法很簡單，你不要制定太多太細的規則，你只要把基本原則說清楚。
你管理人民的方式與想法愈簡單，人民愈容易遵從，人們自然可以安定的生活。
他很認同這位道家的老學者的看法，他就建議(劉盈) 照著道家的這套管理方式治理這一塊土地。
(劉盈)聽從他的建議。
幾年後，這塊土地治理的成果非常的好，他因此深獲(劉盈)的信任。
這句成語的意思是每個人對這件事都有不同的看法。
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。
你是否曾遇過不知道如何整合大家意見的情況呢?你如果是他，你是否會虛心地向各種不同的人請教他們的意見呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
