A little bit of fur from a mythical beast(吉光片羽)
In the Northern Song Dynasty of China,
there was a famous scholar named Zhang Junfang.
He edited a set of books in which he
recorded in detail the historical origin of Taoism, recorded many famous Taoist
priests in history, and also compiled various important scriptures and training
methods of Taoism.
In the 100th volume of this book, a
mythical beast that once lived in ancient China is recorded.
The name of this kind of mythical beast is
(Jiguang).
It lives in swamps, and it looks like a
horse. Its body is white with patterns, but its mane is red
Its fur is very special. If you use its fur
to make a piece of clothing, you will find that the clothing is waterproof and
fireproof, and it is very comfortable to wear.
This kind of beast is very rare, few people
have seen it.
In a book of the Han Dynasty, a story is
recorded.
In the Han Dynasty of China, the seventh
king was (Liu Che).
He is one of the most famous and respected
kings in Chinese history.
His reign as king was one of the most
powerful periods in Chinese history.
When he was in power, one year, the king of
the Huns gave him a piece of clothing.
This dress is made of the fur of this
mythical beast.
(Liu Che) submerged this garment in water,
and the experimental results showed that the garment was indeed waterproof.
He likes this dress so much that he often
wears it.
The direct translation of this idiom means
a little fur of a mythical beast.
This idiom is used to describe something
that is very precious and rare.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
Do you support or oppose the use of fur to
make clothes? Do you believe that there were many mythical beast in this world?
I hope this story can give you some new
harvest.
吉光片羽(A little bit of fur from a mythical
beast)
中國的北宋王朝，有一個著名的學者叫做張君房。
他主編了一套書，在這套書中他詳細記錄道教的歷史源流、記錄了歷史上許多著名的道士，也彙整了道教的各種重要經書與修練方法。
在這本書的第100卷中，紀錄了一個曾經存活在中國古代的神獸。
這種神獸的名字叫做(吉光)。
牠生活在沼澤地中，牠的外型很像是一匹馬。牠的身體是白的，帶著花紋，但是鬃毛是紅的
牠的毛皮非常的特別，如果你用牠的毛皮做成一件衣服，那麼你會發現這件衣服可防水又可以防火，而且穿起來非常的舒服。
這種神獸非常的罕見，很少有人看到過牠。
在漢王朝的一本書中，記錄了一個故事。
中國的漢王朝，第七任國王是(劉徹)。
他是中國歷史上最著名、最被眾人推崇的國王之一。
他當國王的期間，是中國歷史上最強盛的幾個時期之一。
他在位的時候，有一年，匈奴王國的國王送給他一件衣服。
這件衣服就是用這種神獸的毛皮所做成。
(劉徹)把這件衣服浸入水中，實驗結果顯示這件衣服果然可以防水。
他很喜歡這件衣服所以常常穿這件衣服。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是罕見的神獸的一點點毛皮。
這句成語被用來形容非常珍貴又稀少的事物。
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。
你支持還是反對使用皮草來製作衣服呢?你是否相信這世界上曾經有許多神獸呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
