You are an outstanding young man(後起之秀)
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty of China, there
was a famous person who was also a famous minister. His name is (Wang Chen).
History books tell a story about him.
His family was a famous political family at
that time, he was very talented, and his talent was recognised by his family.
One day he went to visit his uncle.
He arrived at his uncle's house and his
uncle was talking to a young man. This young man's name is (Zhang Xuan).
His uncle said to him.
Zhang Xuan is a few years older than you,
and the two of you are about the same age.
I think your knowledge and talents are at
the top of your class.
You two have a chat first, I'll go to the
toilet.
After his uncle left, he sat across from
Zhang Xuan.
Neither of them took the initiative to
speak.
They just looked at each other in silence.
During the period of silence when they were
looking at each other, his expression was very relaxed, while (Zhang Xuan) felt
a little nervous.
Ten minutes later, his uncle returned to
the living room. Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, his uncle took the
initiative to start a conversation with them.
That evening, after Zhang Xuan left his
uncle's house, his uncle said to him
When I went to the toilet just now, the
atmosphere between you was awkward.
Why don't you take the initiative and talk
to Zhang Xuan?
he said with a smile.
Why did I take the initiative to talk to
him? I felt very comfortable at the time.
If he feels that the silence makes him
nervous, he should offer to talk to me.
His uncle laughed.
His uncle said to him
You are an excellent young man with a very
stable personality.
He told his uncle with a smile.
Because I have a very good uncle, I have a
very stable personality.
This idiom is used to describe a very
outstanding young man. It is usually used to describe someone younger than
oneself.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
Do you usually greet others, or do you wait
for others to greet you? If it were you, would you feel nervous in an
atmosphere of silence?
I hope this story can give you a new
harvest.
後起之秀(You are an outstanding young man)
中國的東晉王朝，有一個名士，他也是一個著名的大臣。他的名字是(王忱)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他的家族是當時著名的政治世家，他很有才華，他的才能被家人們所認可。
有一天，他去拜訪他的舅舅。
他到了他的舅舅家，他的舅舅正在與一位年輕人聊天。這個年輕人的名字叫做(張玄)。
他的舅舅對他說。
張玄的年紀比你大幾歲，你們兩個人的年紀相仿。
我認為你們的學識與才能都是同輩中頂尖的。
你們兩個先聊一下天，我要去一下洗手間。
他的舅舅離開後，他與張玄面對面坐著。
兩個人都沒有主動開口說話。
兩個人沉默的對看。
在兩個人對看的沉默的這段時間內，他的表情顯得非常輕鬆，而(張玄)感覺有點緊張。
十分鐘後，他的舅舅回到客廳，他的舅舅看見氣氛很尷尬，他的舅舅就主動開啟話題帶著他們一起聊天。
當天傍晚，張玄離開他的舅舅的家後，他的舅舅對他說。
我剛才去洗手間的時候，你們之間的氣氛很尷尬。
你為何不主動跟張懸聊天。
他笑著說。
我為何要主動跟他說話呢，我當時感覺很自在啊。
如果他覺得沉默會讓他感到緊張， 他就應該主動跟我說話。
他的舅舅就笑了。
他的舅舅對他說。
你是一個很傑出的年輕人，你有著非常穩重的個性。
他笑著對他的舅舅說。
因為我有一個非常傑出的舅舅，所以我才會有著那麼穩重的個性啊。
這句成語被用來形容一個非常傑出的年輕人。通常被用來形容比自己年紀更小的人。
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。
你通常會主動與他人打招呼還是你會等候別人跟你打招呼呢?你如果是他，你會在沉默的氣氛中感到緊張嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
