We understand how you miss your home.

Can you promise us a request after you leave?

It's the best(首屈一指)

 

 

It's the best(首屈一指)

 

In the Qing Dynasty of China, there was a famous thinker named (Zheng Guanying).

He wrote a book in which he sorted out what he observed about the social conditions in China at that time, and put forward many ideas on how to solve the social problems at that time.

 

This book is the book with the most editions in modern Chinese publishing history.

 

A brief summary of a small passage from the book is as follows. '

 

China has a long history, and many books have been handed down from ancient times to the present, but there has never been a public library mechanism.

In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, after referring to the methods of many Western countries, the king of the Qing Dynasty established China's first official library in the capital.

 

At that time, many wealthy people in various provinces also followed the example of the king and independently established private libraries.

As far as the author knows, there are at least 9 private libraries with rich collections in Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province in China.

 

Unfortunately, most of the books in these libraries were lost due to the war.

 

When the author was writing this book, the largest library he knew was founded by the Lu Shi family in the city of Wuxing. In the era when the author lived, this library had the largest collection of books among all private libraries.

 

The author sighs that China has a vast territory and a large number of people, and the population is out of proportion to the library.

Therefore, the author suggests that the central government should plan and allocate funds to establish public libraries in each province, so that more people can have the opportunity to read more books.

 

The direct translation of this idiom means giving a thumbs up to show that a person or a thing is the best.

 

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

How many libraries are there in the city you live in? How long has it been since you went to the library?

I hope this story can give you some new harvest.

Ban Chao(班超/仲升) (AD 32-AD 102)

His surname is (Ban), his parents gave him the name (Chao), and his friends called him (Zhongsheng) when he grew up. He was born in Shaanxi Province, China.

 

班	A group of people lined up in order. A group of people who form a work or study organization. One of the Chinese surnames.
超	Beyond the meaning. The meaning of jumping.
仲	The second male among brothers.
升	The meaning of liter. One of the Chinese surnames.

 

He was a famous and great general in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

History books record a story about him.

 

He defeated more than 50 kingdoms successively in Gansu Province, Qinghai Province, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang Province in China, as well as parts of Central Asia.

He became the supreme military commander of this vast region.

 

He officially retired at the age of 71, and the name of the general who replaced him was (Ren Shang)

On the eve of his return to the capital, the two of them had a conversation.

 

Ren Shang said.

You have served this place for 30 years and I have been called to take your place today.

I feel that my wisdom is not enough, please share your wisdom with me so that I can do this job well.

 

Ban Chao replied.

I am very old, how stupid I am compared to you, since you asked me, let me share with you a few things that I think you should pay attention to.

 

Although the kingdoms around our legion respect us very much, they have not completely surrendered to us in their hearts.

 

Many of these soldiers stationed at the border were sent here because of crimes. Every soldier is very brave but also very reckless.

 

According to my observations in the past few days, you have a rather anxious personality, and you are very strict in dealing with others.

 

If you manage these soldiers completely according to the regulations, these soldiers will hate you.

 

You should interact with these soldiers as friends on weekdays.

When they make small mistakes, you should treat them with mercy.

If they make a really big mistake, you punish them according to the regulations.

 

You have to use the same attitude to interact with other kingdoms, and these kingdoms will truly trust you.

 

After Ren Shang heard these words, he despised Ban Chao's words of wisdom.

He didn't follow Ban Chao's advice.

 

A few years later, all the surrounding kingdoms rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers of the legions he led did not obey his orders and commands, so he was dismissed from office and sentenced to death.

 

 

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

I hope this story can give you some new harvest.

I miss my hometown(代馬依風)

I miss my hometown(代馬依風)

 

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a famous general named (Ban Chao).

History books record a story about him.

 

He is a great general.

He defeated more than 50 kingdoms successively in Gansu Province, Qinghai Province, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang Province in China, as well as parts of Central Asia.

He became the supreme military commander of this vast region.

 

At the age of 68, he wrote a letter to the king.

 

When a fox in the wild is dying, the fox's head is turned in the direction of its birthplace.

When the wind blows from the north, many horses born in the north will make a sad cry.

 

I am very old, and I may die at any moment, but I dare not look in the direction of the capital, because it would make me very sad.

 

If I die tomorrow, my soul will remain in this desolate desert.

I am willing to stick to my post until the moment I die.

But please let me retire if you like, I hope to see the scenery of my hometown again before I die.

 

But because he was too important to the stability of the border, the king did not grant his request.

 

Two years later, his sister also wrote a letter to the king on his behalf.

My brother has been stationed in that far frontier for the Han Dynasty for 31 years.

It was a dangerous environment. My brother always fought forward in every battle. He was seriously injured several times. He almost died several times.

 

Those people who went to the border with him at the beginning are all dead, and he is the only one left alive.

He is seventy years old this year. He is old and sick.

His hair was all white, his movements were clumsy, and his judgment had deteriorated.

 

I haven't seen him for more than 30 years, and I have almost forgotten what he looks like.

 

He is a very responsible person, but he is really too old. If there is a major war on the border now, although he is willing in his heart, his body can no longer be as strong as when he was young.

 

He wants to return to China very much and our family misses him very much. We implore the king to arrange a successor for him as soon as possible so that he can return to the capital to reunite with our family.

 

Let him enjoy the last moments of his life.

 

The king was moved by the letter.

A few days after the king read the letter, he sent a young general to take his place.

 

Ban Chao officially retired when he was 71 years old, and he returned to the capital of the Han Dynasty in August of the same year.

In September of that year, he passed away. He died peacefully and contentedly in his hometown.

 

The direct translation of this idiom means that the horse from the north screams because of the wind blowing from the north.

This idiom is used to describe a person who misses his hometown.

 

Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or thought do you have after hearing this story?

Where is your hometown? If you could choose, where would you want to die?

I hope this story can give you some new harvest.
