He changes his attitude and approach(改弦易轍)
There were two famous ministers in the Han
Dynasty, their names were (Zhang Tang) and (Du Zhou).
Both of them served as the highest judges
in the country.
Both of them were also liked and trusted by
the king.
They both had a lot of power.
(Zhang Tang) arrested many wealthy
businessmen and officials who broke the law during his tenure. His power even
exceeded that of the Prime Minister at that time. However, he was later framed
and sentenced to death. After his death, the king was very sorry.
So the king treated his son well.
(Du Zhou) As the head of the country's
highest judiciary, he handled many important cases at that time.
More than 100 illegal high-ranking
officials were arrested by the judiciary under his leadership.
According to history books, he handled more
than 1,000 cases every year.
In these more than 1,000 cases, the number
of people he arrested was as high as 70,000.
He died in office.
(Zhang Tang's) son was called (Zhang
Anshi), and (Zhang Anshi) later became an important official of the Han
Dynasty.
(Zhang Anshi)'s personality is completely
opposite to his father's. (Zhang Anshi) has a cautious personality and doesn't
like to be in the limelight.
(Du Zhou)'s son is called (Du Yannian). (Du
Yannian) later became an important official in the Han Dynasty.
(Du Yannian)'s personality is very
different from his father's. (Du Yannian) has a gentle personality and is
willing to stand up for justice.
A famous scholar in the Song Dynasty wrote
a book.
The scholar wrote the story of father and
son in the book.
This scholar commented on the two pairs of
father and son.
(Zhang Anshi) and (Du Yannian) are so
different from their father that they are like a guqin with different strings,
and this guqin produces a different sound.
They are like a carriage with a different
driver, and this carriage has taken a different road.
This phrase means that a person changes his
attitude and practice.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after hearing this story?
Do you have the same personality as your
father or mother? Do you identify with the behaviour patterns of your father or
mother?
I hope this story can give you a new
harvest.
改弦易轍(He changes his attitude and approach)
漢王朝有兩個著名的大臣，他們的名字是(張湯)與(杜周)。
他們兩個人都曾擔任國家最高司法官。
他們兩個人也都受到國王喜歡與信任。
他們兩個人都擁有很大的權力。
(張湯)在任內抓了很多犯法的有錢的商人與大官。他的權力甚至勝過當時的宰相。但他後來被人誣陷所以被判處死刑，他死後國王感到非常後悔。
國王因此厚待他的兒子。
(杜周)擔任國家最高司法機構的首長後，他處理了很多當時的大案。
經由他所領導的司法機關所逮捕的不法高階官員超過100人。
根據歷史書的記載，他每年處理的案件超過1000多件。
這1000多個案件中，他所逮捕的相關人就逮捕高達大約70000人。
他死在任內。
(張湯)的兒子叫做(張安世)，(張安世)後來也成了漢王朝的重要官員。
(張安世)的個性與他的父親完全相反，(張安世)的性格謹慎，而且不喜歡出風頭。
(杜周)的兒子叫做(杜延年)。(杜延年)後來也成了漢王朝的重要官員。
(杜延年)的個性與他的父親有很大的差異，(杜延年)的性格溫和，而且為了正義的事情願意挺身而出。
宋王朝的一位知名學者寫過一本書。
這個學者在書中寫下了這兩對父子的故事。
這個學者如此評論這兩對父子。
(張安世)與(杜延年)與他們的父親的行事風格如此不同，他們就像是一把換了古琴弦的古琴，這把古琴發出了不同的音色。
他們就像是一台換了駕駛的馬車，這輛馬車走上了另外一條不同的道路。
這句成語的意思是指一個人改變他的態度與做法。
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。
你與你的父親或母親的性格相同嗎?你是否認同你的父親或母親的行為模式呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
