The guests at this banquet admired him very
much(一坐盡傾)
Sima Xiangru is one of the most famous
writers in Chinese history.
History books tell a story about him.
He lived in the house of the king's younger
brother with many famous writers of the time to create literature.
In 144 BC, the king's younger brother died
of illness. The new heir did not like literature.
Sima Xiangru and his friends returned to
their hometowns.
He was 35 years old that year.
He had no savings and no special skills.
His literary skills are admirable, but his
financial life is in trouble.
One day a friend came to see him.
His friend's name is (Wang Ji).
Wang Ji said to him.
I am now the magistrate of (Linqiong)
County. I heard that you have returned to our hometown and are currently
unemployed, so I came here to visit you.
Will you be moving to (Linqiong) County? If
you move to (Linqiong) County, I can find a way to arrange a job for you.
He nodded in agreement.
Wang Ji is a very cultured person, and Wang
Ji treats him with great respect.
Wang Ji admired his knowledge and
achievements, and Wang Ji did not despise him because of his poverty.
There are several entrepreneurs living in
Linqiong.
After seeing Wang Ji's attitude towards
him, they became very curious about him.
These businessmen talk to each other.
I heard that he was a very famous writer,
and that we should hold a banquet for him and take the initiative in welcoming
him.
He received an invitation card to this
banquet, but he did not want to attend this banquet.
He felt that eating with those businessmen
was very boring, but he was too embarrassed to refuse outright, so he said that
he was not feeling well and could not attend the banquet.
But on the morning of the banquet, (Wang
Ji) personally came to see him in a carriage.
(Wang Ji) earnestly invited him to the
banquet. He couldn't resist.
He reluctantly had to go to the banquet.
He is a very connective person. He was very
generous and natural at that banquet..
His words are full of wisdom and his
perspective is very fresh.
Because of his performance, the guests at
the banquet admired him very much.
This idiom means that all the people at
this banquet admire him very much.
Dear friend, what kind of inspiration or
thought do you have after listening to this story?
Do you prefer to be in a group or alone? Do
you like to socialise?
I hope this story can give you a new
harvest.
