His surname is (Ning) and the name given to him by his parents is (Cheng). He was born in Henan Province, China.

 

Tranquil meaning. It is also one of the Chinese surnames.

The meaning of completion. The meaning of success. It is also one of the Chinese surnames.

 

He was a famous minister in the Han Dynasty.

History books record a story about him.

 

He has a fierce personality, he dares to take great risks, and he has the character of a gambler.

He used his own power and loopholes in the law to achieve his goals.

 

He looks down on anyone.

He despised his superiors, he oppressed his subordinates and those who were inferior to him.

 

In 144 BC, he ushered in the peak of his career.

He was appointed by the king as a senior official in the capital's security and police affairs.

Using his position, he collected many criminal evidences of nobles in the capital.

He used the criminal evidence he possessed to control these nobles.

If these nobles do not listen to his blackmail, he will formally prosecute these criminal nobles.

Many nobles in the capital are under his control, so many nobles hate him very much.

 

In 140 BC, a new king took office,so he was dismissed, and he became a middle-ranking clerk.

These nobles who had been oppressed by him were very happy. These nobles fought back, and he was arrested and sentenced.

The wolf keeps the sheep(如狼牧羊)

 

There was a famous minister in the Han Dynasty, his name was (Yi Zong).

He has a very fierce personality, he is very arrogant towards people, and he is very greedy for money.

 

The people hated him very much, and the people had a bad opinion of him. Two examples are as follows.

He is an official like a wolf, and we live in this city like a flock of sheep under his rule.

We would rather see a tigress protecting her cub than Ning Cheng.

 

On his first day in office, he led a group of soldiers to the provincial capital of Nanyang Province.

He saw (Ning Cheng) standing at the gate of the provincial capital of Nanyang.

 

(Ning Cheng) was very respectful and polite to him.

(Ning Cheng) showed his obedience and awe.

 

He ignored (Ning Cheng).

As if he didn't see (Ning Cheng), he walked into the provincial capital with this group of soldiers, entered the governor's office, and immediately started to act with this group of soldiers.

 

He is very smart. Before he came to this city, he had already passed the authorization of the king, and he had collected complete (Ning Cheng) criminal evidence.

 

He knew that the most important task the king sent him here was to disintegrate (Ning Cheng)'s evil forces.

He arrested (Ning Cheng) and his accomplices that day.

 

(Ning Cheng) did not expect this situation at all. Before he had time to prepare and counterattack, his family power was completely disintegrated.

 

The direct translation of this idiom means that the wolf guards the flock of sheep

During the period of his administration, as long as he found that these families had violated the law, he would not tolerate it and deal with it according to law.

 

According to the records in the history books, during his tenure as the governor of this province, anyone who lost money or valuables in any situation and anywhere, this person can quickly retrieve the lost property.

 

All the people in this province abide by the law very much, and no one will take these lost things as their own.

He was a famous minister in the Han Dynasty.

History books record a story about him.

 

Since the founding of the Han Dynasty, each province has its own independent coinage rights.

Due to the differences in the specifications and sizes of coins minted in each province, starting from 140 BC, the king of the Han Dynasty began a series of currency system reforms.

 

At that time, there was another serious problem. There were many criminals in the private sector who minted coins privately.

The actions of these criminals caused serious problems in the financial system and taxation of the Han Dynasty.

 

119 BC. He was transferred back to the capital, and his duty was to arrest those criminals who minted coins privately.

 

In 117 BC, the king issued a new tax law.

The content of this tax law is as follows.

If you know someone who is evading taxes, you should take the initiative to report these people.

If it is verified that the content of your report is true, then all the property of these tax evaders will be confiscated, and you can get one-half of the confiscated property.

 

He does not agree with this order issued by the king. He believes that this order will seriously damage the foundation of trust between people, and he believes that this order does not really solve the problem of tax evasion caused by the confusion of the currency system. So he resisted the order.

 

The king was very angry when he heard that he had publicly resisted this order.

He was arrested by the king, who sentenced him to death.

 

In 113 BC, after many failures, the king of the Han Dynasty made a major change in the sixth reform.

The king issued an order to transfer the minting power to the central government, and the central government would mint and issue coins uniformly.

正義的意思。公義的意思。也是中國人的姓氏之一。

放縱的意思。直的意思。

 

他是漢王朝一個著名的大臣。

歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。

 

漢王朝從建國開始,每個省都擁有各省獨立的鑄幣權。

由於每個省所鑄造的錢幣規格與大小有落差,所以從西元前140年開始,漢王朝的國王開始一連串的幣制改革。

 

當時還有一個嚴重的問題,民間有很多不法份子會私鑄錢幣。

這些不法份子的行為造成漢王朝的金融系統與稅收發生嚴重的問題。

 

西元前119年。他被調回首都,他的職責是抓捕那些私鑄錢幣的不法份子。

 

西元前117年,國王頒布一條新的稅務法令。

這條稅務法令的內容如下。

如果你認識的人有逃漏稅,你就應該主動檢舉這些人。

如果經由查證,你所舉報的內容屬實,那麼這些逃漏稅的人將被沒收全部的財產,而你可以獲得這筆被沒收財產的二分之一。

 

他不認同國王頒布的這條命令,他認為這條命令將嚴重的破壞人與人之間的信任基礎,而且他認為這項命令並沒有辦法真正解決因為幣制混亂而造成的逃漏稅的問題,所以他抗拒這項命令。

 

國王聽到他公開抗拒這項命令後,國王非常生氣。

他被國王逮捕,國王處他死刑。

 

西元前113年,漢王朝的國王在經過多次的失敗後,國王在第六次的改革中,做了一個重大的改變。

國王發布命令將鑄幣權收歸中央政府,統一由中央政府鑄造與發行錢幣。

這項改革非常的重要,這項改革才真正從根本上讓漢王朝的金融秩序恢復穩定。

 

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。

你如何評價他反抗執行國王的命令的這項行為呢?你認為你的國家的稅務辦法公平嗎?

我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。

It's not looking good right now, but I think we have a good chance of turning it around.

My reasons are threefold.

 

The first point.

Xiang Yu led all the revolutionary armies to distribute the land of the whole of China. He did not distribute according to the merits and influence of each revolutionary army. He distributed a lot of good land to people close to him.

Because of his injustice, many leaders of the revolutionary army were very dissatisfied.

We must grasp this favorable situation and take positive actions.

 

The current situation looks bad for us, but I think the situation will change very soon.

We can't be discouraged, we must use this time to strengthen the training of the army, I believe we can take back the capital of the Qin Dynasty soon, and we can once again grasp the abundant resources near the capital.

The Prime Minister replied with a smile.

My opinion is contrary to yours. I think that although the ruling foundation is not yet solid, we can definitely wipe out all the rebels smoothly. We will be a stable regime.

 

You are our king, the whole of China is yours, and all the land and wealth are owned by you.

The house you live in should naturally show your authority and wealth, dignity and strength.

 

Do you think I've built the palace too high and gorgeous?

So I built it a little bigger, so that future members of the royal family can have a place to live.

He pretended to do this, but secretly arranged other plans.( 明修棧道暗渡陳倉)

 

The name of the founding king of the Han Dynasty was (Liu Bang). The Han Kingdom he led defeated all other kingdoms in the chaotic generation after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

 

History books record a story about him.

 

207 BC. The revolutionary army led by him took the lead in entering the capital of the Qin Dynasty ahead of other revolutionary groups.

 

A few days later, other revolutionary leaders also arrived in the Qin capital with their respective armies.

Among all the revolutionary armies at that time, the most powerful force was the Chu Kingdom led by Xiang Yu.

Relying on his strong military power, Xiang Yu led all the revolutionary armies to distribute the land of the whole of China.

 

Xiang Yu didn't like Liu Bang, so Xiang Yu allocated part of the land in Sichuan Province and Shaanxi Province of China to Liu Bang.

This is a relatively barren land.

 

Liu Bang didn't like this arrangement, but the Chu Kingdom's army had a total of over 400,000 soldiers, while the Han Kingdom's army he led had only 100,000 soldiers, so he was forced to accept it.

 

Following the advice of one of his military staff officers, he destroyed the road from the capital to his own land after going to the land to which he was allotted.

 

This action caused Xiang Yu to misjudge.

Xiang Yu thought he had accepted this unfair arrangement, and he would stay in his own territory forever, and he didn't want to fight for control of the whole of China.

 

In 206 BC, the Kingdom of Chu was at war with other kingdoms.

When Liu Bang saw this situation, he knew his chance had come.

 

He sent some soldiers to repair the road he had destroyed a year earlier.

The road was badly damaged and the progress of restoration was slow.

The garrison in the capital thought that the Han Kingdom's army would not be able to return to the capital immediately, so they relaxed their vigilance.

 

He secretly arranged a group of troops to sneak back to the capital by taking a long way,

This group of troops launched a surprise attack when the garrison in the capital was not prepared.

 

This year, the Han Kingdom he led returned to the capital of the richest Qin Dynasty in China at that time, and occupied all the land around the capital.

After he took control of this land, the advantages and disadvantages of Chu Kingdom and Han Kingdom began to reverse.

 

This idiom means that he pretended to do this thing, but secretly arranged other plans.

This idiom is used to describe a person who attracts the attention of the other party with obvious and irrelevant actions, but takes other actions in private to achieve the original purpose.

 


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

If you were him, would you be willing to wait for a better time? How would you deal with unfair treatment?

I hope this story can give you something to gain.

He puts forward his plan and strategy(運籌帷幄)

 

He puts forward his plan and strategy(運籌帷幄)

 

The name of the founding king of the Han Dynasty was (Liu Bang). The Han Kingdom he led defeated all other kingdoms in the chaotic generation after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

 

History books record a story about him.

 

The king of the Chu Kingdom is Xiang Yu, and the Chu Kingdom is the most powerful rival of the Han Kingdom.

In 202 BC, the army of the Chu Kingdom led by Xiang Yu was wiped out by the Han Kingdom's army.

He unified the whole of China.

 

He gave a great dinner, at which he entertained all his ministers and generals.

In the middle of the dinner, he said to all the ministers and generals.

Please tell us your true thoughts. Compared with the Han Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom is more powerful. Compared with Xiang Yu, his martial arts is better than mine.

But why is it me who wins in the end?

What do you think is the biggest reason.

 

After two wise ministers offered their views, he added another of his own.

 

He said.

I think there is another important reason why I was able to achieve the final victory.

I have an eye for who's really capable, and I'm willing to hire people who are better than me.

 

My most important military staff is (Zhang Liang). He puts forward his plans and strategies in a small military camp, but his decisions can affect the outcome of the war on the front line.

 

My most important Minister of Home Affairs is (Xiao He). He managed the big and small affairs in the Kingdom of Han, he allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and he also properly arranged the supply and transportation of military rations.

 

My most important general (Han Xin). He has the ability to lead and command an army of over a million men, and he wins every battle he goes into battle.

 

My personal ability is not as good as my three subordinates.

They are the best talents of our time.

But they are all willing to work for me, and I can fully empower them.

 

Compared with me, Xiang Yu didn't trust his very clever military staff officer.

His personal ability is indeed very strong, but how can he beat our entire team?

 

 

This idiom means that he proposed his plans and strategies.

 

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

Do you have your own work team? Can you command those subordinates who are more capable than you?

I hope this story can give you something to gain.

The king of the Chu Kingdom is Xiang Yu, and the Chu Kingdom is the most powerful rival of the Han Kingdom.

The king of the Chu Kingdom is Xiang Yu, and the Chu Kingdom is the most powerful rival of the Han Kingdom.

In 202 BC, the army of the Chu Kingdom led by Xiang Yu was wiped out by the Han Kingdom's army.

He unified the whole of China.

Please tell us your true thoughts. Compared with the Han Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom is more powerful. Compared with Xiang Yu, his martial arts is better than mine.

But why is it me who wins in the end?

What do you think is the biggest reason.

 

Two wise ministers answered.

The two of you do have very different personalities.

Your personality is rather arrogant, and you like to swear when you speak.

Xiang Yu has a milder personality, and he speaks more politely than you.

 

According to personality, he should be the one who wins in the end.

But why would he be defeated by you?

We think the biggest reason is because he has a relatively narrow mind and he tends to be suspicious of others.

When the army of the Kingdom of Chu won the battle, he was unwilling to share the fruits of success with his subordinates, and he was unwilling to reward the generals with the land acquired by the war.

 

You are the opposite of him on this point.

You are willing to share the benefits of victory in war with us, and you allow each of us who have meritorious service to obtain their own land.

 

That's why we think you can come out victorious in the end.

 

(Liu Bang) After listening to the words of the two generals, he smiled and said to everyone.

I think your analysis is very reasonable, but you only raised one important point, and there is another more important point that you have overlooked.

 

All the guests at the banquet stopped talking.

Everyone was watching him and waiting for him to make his point.

 

This idiom is used to describe a person's understanding of a thing is not comprehensive.

 

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

Do you think there is only one reason for the success of a thing? Do you think that a person's way of success can be followed and replicated?

I hope this story can give you something to gain.

The name of the founding king of the Han Dynasty was (Liu Bang). The Han Kingdom he led defeated all other kingdoms in the chaotic generation after the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

 

History books record a story about him.

 

207 BC. The revolutionary army led by him took the lead in entering the capital of the Qin Dynasty ahead of other revolutionary groups.

The third king of the Qin Dynasty announced his surrender.

 

He has several subordinates who advise him.

We should kill the king of the Qin Dynasty.

 

He answered.

Since the king of the Qin Dynasty has voluntarily surrendered, we should let him survive.

Killing him was an unjust act.

 

He entered the palace of the Qin Dynasty. He saw a lot of precious and rare treasures inside.

He followed the advice of his staff, he restrained his desire, he was not deceived by these treasures, and he took none of these treasures.

 

He then called the people of the city together.

He said to these people.

 

We have taken this city, and you may fear that your life and property will be threatened.

So I want to tell you.

The purpose of our revolution is to overthrow the leadership of the Qin Dynasty and allow all the people to gain more freedom.

 

Under the rule of the Qin Dynasty, you have to abide by many strict laws.

Starting today, those laws are repealed.

You just need to abide by these three laws that I re-enacted.

 

1- Those who kill will be punished with death.

2- Those who hurt others will be punished.

3- Those who rob other people's property will be sentenced.

 

These three laws are not only obeyed by you, but also by my soldiers.

I pledge my soldiers to safeguard the safety of each of you in life and property.

 

I will wait for other Revolutionary Army leaders to come here, and then all our Revolutionary Army leaders will work together to formulate a more complete set of laws.

 

Everyone was very happy when all the people heard his announcement.

 

This idiom means to agree on several things in advance.

 

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

If you were him, would you be able to resist the temptation of those treasures? If you were him, would you be able to resist the temptation of power.

I hope this story can give you something to gain.
