He does nothing.(無所事事)
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.
The name of the founding king of the Han
Dynasty was (Liu Bang). He appointed a founding hero as his prime minister
whose name was (Xiao He).
In 193 BC (Liu Bang) died, his son
succeeded him and (Xiao He) continued to serve as prime minister.
194 BC. (Xiao He) passed away.
After (Xiao He) passed away, (Cao Can)
served as the second prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
When he took over as prime minister, he
fired some well-spoken and ambitious officials.
He selected some simple and upright people
from all over the country to serve as officials of the central government.
He didn't do anything else after that.
He stayed in the official residence all
day. Officials from various departments came to see him in the official
residence.
Officials from various departments asked
him.
Please give us instructions to let us know
what we should do.
He told the officials.
Regarding the work content of your
department, has the previous prime minister established a system and norms that
can be followed?
The officials answered.
The work content of my department, the
former prime minister has established a set of systems and norms.
He told the officials.
Please work according to the system and
norms established by the previous Prime Minister.
If you have no other questions, let's eat
and drink together.
He stayed at home almost every day for
drinks and meals with officials from various departments who came to him every
day. He doesn't do anything, he gets drunk every day.
Seeing his actions, the king was very
anxious.
The king and his son were about the same
age, and the king and his son grew up together.
His son served as the king's special
assistant.
One day the king said to his son.
Your father is someone I respect very much.
He used to help me govern the territory I own, which includes more than 70 cities.
But since he was the prime minister of the
Han Dynasty, he has eaten and drank every day with officials from various
departments.
He did not have any reform and innovation
at all.
I feel very puzzled. When you go home, you
ask him in private, why did he do this? What are his reasons and ideas for
doing this?
His son asked him these questions at dinner
one day.
After hearing these questions from his son,
he said to his son angrily.
Your job is to be the special assistant to
the king, the job of prime minister is not within your scope of work.
This idiom means that he does nothing.
Dear friends, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Why do you think he made these strange
moves? If you could take over as the general manager of your company, what
reforms would you want to propose?
I hope this story will give you something
new to gain.
無所事事(He does nothing.)
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。
漢王朝的開國國王的名字叫做(劉邦)。他任命一個開國英雄作為他的宰相，這個宰相的名字叫做(蕭何)。
西元前193年(劉邦)逝世，他的兒子繼承他的王位，(蕭何)繼續擔任宰相。
西元前194年。(蕭何)逝世。
(蕭何)過世後，(曹參)擔任漢王朝的第二任宰相。
他接任首相的職位之後，他解僱了一些口才很好而且很有企圖心的官員。
他從全國各地挑選了一些單純又正直的人來擔任中央政府的官員。
接下來他再沒有做其他的任何事。
他整天待在官宅中。各個部門的官員來到官宅中見他。
各個部門的官員問他。
請你發出指令，讓我們知道我們該做那些事。
他對這些官員說。
關於你這個部門的工作內容，前任首相是否已經建立了可供遵循的制度與規範呢?
這些官員回答。
我這一部門的工作內容，前任首相已經建立了一套制度與規範。
他對這些官員說。
請你們就照前任首相建立的制度與規範去工作。
如果你們沒有其他問題，那讓我們一起吃飯與喝酒吧。
他幾乎每天都待在家中跟每天來找他的各個部門的官員喝酒與吃飯。他什麼事都不做，他每天都喝醉。
國王看見他的這些行為，心中非常的焦慮。
國王與他的兒子的年齡相近，國王與他的兒子兩個人從小一起長大。
他的兒子擔任國王的特別助理。
有一天，國王就對他的兒子說。
你的父親是我很尊敬的人，他以前協助我治理我所擁有的那包含70幾座城市的領土管理的非常好。
但是自從他從擔任漢王朝的首相後，他每天與各個部門的官員吃飯與喝酒。
他完全沒有任何改革與創新。
我覺得很納悶，你回家後私底下問問他，他為何這樣做呢?他這麼做的理由與想法為何呢?
有一天，他的兒子在晚餐的時候就問他這些問題。
他聽到他的兒子所問的這些問題後，他很生氣的對他的兒子說。
你的職務是擔任國王的特別助理，首相的職務不在你的工作範圍。
這句成語的意思是他甚麼事情都不做。
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。
你認為他為何會有這些奇怪的舉動呢?你如果能夠接任你的公司的總經理，你會想提出那些改革方案呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
