My crime is serious so I should be sentenced to 10,000 death sentences.(罪當萬死)
In the Han Dynasty of China, there was a
humorous, funny and upright official named (Dongfang Shuo).
He lived from 154 BC to 93 BC.
He was about the same age as the seventh
king of the Han Dynasty (Liu Che), and many stories about the two of them are
recorded in history books.
(Liu Che) In his fourth year as king, he
fell in love with hunting.
The capital of the Han Dynasty at that time
was located near the city of Xi'an in what is now China's Shaanxi Province.
There is a famous mountain near Xi'an
called (Zhongnan Mountain).
The king likes to leave the palace late at
night and go hunting in the mountains with many entourages.
Because there are many people hunting with
him, during the journey from the capital to Zhongnan Mountain, the farmlands of
many people were trampled by these hunters, and the lives of these farmers were
greatly affected, so the people complained .
The king wanted to emigrate all the people
he influenced to other places.
He wanted to designate the land from the
imperial palace to Zhongnan Mountain and the entire Zhongnan Mountain as his
own private hunting ground.
When Dongfang Shuo heard about this, he
wrote a letter to the king.
he said to the king.
This piece of land is very fertile, and a
lot of food can be grown here every year, and many people make a living from
agriculture.
There are many rivers passing through this
land, and many people make a living by fishing.
There are many precious mineral deposits
and forest resources in the Zhongnan Mountains, and many people rely on the
products on this mountain to make a living.
If you're taking these people's lands
because you like to hunt, I think you should think again.
Because your behavior will lead to a
decrease in the country's fiscal and tax revenue, because these people will not
be able to survive.
Moreover, these people have lived on this
land for several generations. If you force them to move to other places, they
will feel resentful towards you.
Think about it, you already have unlimited
wealth as a king, why should you pay too much attention to the fun of hunting?
In ancient Chinese history, several kings
aroused the anger of the people in order to satisfy their own desires, and
these kings were all overthrown later.
I sincerely express my opinion, and I
should feel that my crime is extremely great to you against your ideas, and I
should be sentenced to ten thousand death sentences.
But I still want to advise you. Hope you
can think again about whether to do this.
This idiom means that my crime is too
serious, and I should be sentenced to 10,000 death sentences.
This idiom is used to describe a person who
is very sinful.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
If you were him, would you dare to advise
the king? If you were the king, would you accept his criticism?
I hope this story can give you some new
harvest.
罪當萬死(My crime is serious so I should be
sentenced to 10,000 death sentences.)
中國的漢王朝有一個幽默又風趣又正直的官員，他的名字是(東方朔)。
他生活的年代是西元前154年到西元前93年。
他與漢王朝的第七任國王(劉徹)的年齡相近，歷史書上記載了很多關於他們兩個人的故事。
(劉徹)當上國王的第四年，他迷上了打獵。
當時漢王朝的首都的位置位於現在中國的陝西省的西安市附近。
西安市附近有一座著名的山叫做(終南山)。
國王喜歡深夜離開皇宮，帶著許多隨從一起到山上打獵。
因為與他一起打獵的人很多，因此從首都到終南山中間的這一段路程中，很多老百姓的農田被這些打獵的人踐踏，而且這些農民們的生活受到很大的影響，所以老百姓們發出怨言。
國王便想要把這些被他影響的所有百姓都移居到其他地方。
他想要把從皇宮到終南山的這一塊土地與整座終南山都劃定成為自已的私人獵場。
東方朔聽到這件事，他便寫了一封信給國王。
他對國王說。
這一塊土地非常肥沃，每年都可以在這裡種植出許多的糧食，有許多百姓以農業維生。
這一塊土地上有很多條河川經過，許多百姓以漁業維生。
終南山脈中有很多珍貴的礦藏與森林資源，許多百姓都憑藉著這座山上的物產維生。
如果你因為喜歡打獵就奪取這些百姓們的土地，我認為你應該再次深入考慮。
因為你這個行為會導致就是國家的財稅收入會減少，因為這些百姓會無法維生。
而且這些百姓都已經居住在這片土地上好幾代了，你強行命令它們遷居其他的地方，他們會對你產生怨恨的心。
你想想看，你擔任國王已經有了無限的富貴，為何又要過分的看重這打獵的樂趣呢?
中國古代歷史上，有好幾個國王為了滿足他們自已的慾望所以導致了百姓們的憤怒，這些國王後來都被推翻。
我真誠地提出我的意見，我違背你的想法，對你來說應該覺得我的罪惡極大，我應該被處以一萬個死刑。
但是我仍然要勸告你。希望你可以再次思考是否要這樣做。
這句成語的意思是我的罪太重了，應該處我1萬個死刑。
這句成語被用來形容一個人非常的罪惡。
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，你敢勸告國王嗎?你如果是國王，你可以接受他的批評嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
