His knowledge and talent are at the top of the contemporary(蓋世之才)

His knowledge and talent are at the top of the contemporary(蓋世之才)

 

Su Shi is one of the most famous writers in Chinese history. He is also a famous politician.

His poems and prose are very well written. His calligraphy and painting are also very good.

 

When he was young, he wrote an article about the inspiration he felt after reading the biography of Zhang Liang, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty.

 

The summary of the fourth paragraph of this article is as follows

Zhang Liang was born into an aristocratic family in the Kingdom of Han. He was educated at a high level, and his knowledge and talents are among the best in the contemporary world.

He knows how to appreciate life and how to avoid getting into dangerous situations.

 

He is a very intelligent person. If he is willing to think calmly, he will know that he should learn from those ancient sages and use his wisdom to undermine the regime of the Qin Dynasty.

 

However, the fact that he tried to assassinate the King of Qin with his own power shows that he was controlled by anger, which is why he made the wrong decision.

 

After meeting the reclusive wise old man, the old man gave him a hidden test.

The old man deliberately treated him in an arrogant and disrespectful manner.

 

After the failed assassination attempt, his personality was honed to be very calm during his escape, and he no longer allowed his emotions to affect his reason.

 

Because he can prevent his emotions from affecting his reason, he was able to pass the old man's test and get the old man's approval and get the book on the art of war written by the old man.

 

This idiom means that his knowledge and talent are the best in the contemporary era.

 

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

Do you think your personality can be changed? How would you react if someone treated you in an arrogant and disrespectful way?

I hope this story can give you a new harvest.

蓋世之才(His knowledge and talent are at the top of the contemporary)

 

蘇軾是中國歷史上最著名的文學家之一。他同時也是一個著名的政治家。

他的詩與散文都寫得非常的好。他的書法與繪畫的程度也都非常的高。

 

他年輕時寫過一篇文章,這篇文章中,他寫下他讀完漢王朝的開國功臣張良的傳記後所感受到的啟發。

 

這篇文章的第四段的概要如下。

張良出身於韓王國的貴族世家,他受了高等教育,他的學問與才能是當代最頂尖的。

他懂得要珍惜生命,他知道要避免自己陷入危險的境地。

 

他是一個非常聰明的人,如果他願意靜心思考,他就會知道自已應該學習那些古代的智者,用智慧的方式去顛覆秦王朝的政權。

 

但從他想以個人力量暗殺秦王國的國王這件事情上,可以看到他被憤怒的情感所控制,所以做出了這個錯誤的決策。

 

那一個隱居的智慧老人遇見他之後,這個老人對他進行了一項隱性的測試。

這個老人故意用傲慢又沒有禮貌的方式對待他。

 

由於暗殺活動失敗後,他在逃亡的過程中,他的個性被磨練成很沉穩,他不再讓情緒影響自己的理智。

 

因為他可以不讓情緒影響理智,所以他才能通過這個老人的測試並且得到這個老人的認同並獲得這個老人寫的那一本兵法書。

 

這句成語的意思是他的學問與才能是當代最頂尖的。

 

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。

你認為你自己的個性是可以改變的嗎?你如果遇到別人用傲慢與沒有禮貌的方式對待你,你會有怎樣的反應呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
