You only see this side of this thing, you don't see the other side of this thing.( 知其一未知其二)

 

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.

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.

 

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.

知其一未知其二(You only see this side of this thing, you don't see the other side of this thing.)

 

漢王朝開國國王的名字叫做(劉邦)。他所領導的漢王國在秦王朝滅亡後的混亂世代中打敗其他所有王國。

 

歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。

 

楚王國的國王是項羽,楚王國是漢王國最強大的競爭對手。

西元前202年,項羽領導的楚王國的軍隊被漢王國的軍隊殲滅。

他統一了整個中國。

 

他舉辦了一場盛大的晚宴,在這場晚宴上,他宴請了所有的大臣與將軍。

 

晚宴進行到一半,他對所有的大臣與將軍說。

請你們說出你們真實的想法,楚王國與漢王國相比,楚王國的國力比較強大,我與項羽相比,他的武功比我更好。

但為何最後勝利的人會是我呢?

你們認為最大的原因為何。

 

有兩個聰明的大臣回答。

你們兩個人的確有著截然不同的個性。

你的個性比較傲慢,而且你說話喜歡罵人。

項羽的個性比較溫和,而且他說話比你有禮貌。

 

如果按照個性來說,他應該才會是最終贏得勝利的人。

但為何他會被你打敗呢。

我們認為最大的原因是因為他的心胸比較狹窄,而且他容易懷疑別人。

當楚王國的軍隊打勝仗後,他不願意與他的部屬分享成功的果實,他不願意把這些因為戰爭所取得的土地賞賜給那些將軍們。

 

這一點上你與他相反。

你願意與我們分享戰爭勝利的好處,你讓我們每個有戰功的人都可以獲得屬於自已的土地。

 

這就是我們認為你能取得最後的勝利的原因。

 

(劉邦)聽完這兩個將軍的話後,他笑著對所有人說。

你們的分析我認為很有道理,但你們只提出了一個重點,還有另外一個更重要的重點你們忽略了。

 

這場宴會中的所有賓客都停止說話。

每個人都注視著他並且等他發表他的觀點。

 

這句成語被用來形容一個人對一件事物的瞭解並不全面。

 

親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。

你認為一件事情的成功只會有一個原因嗎?你認為一個人的成功方式,是可以遵循並且可以複製的嗎?

我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
