There are many dangers and difficulties on this journey.(艱難險阻)

 

In the Spring and Autumn Period of China, the 22nd king of the Jin Kingdom was named (Ji Chong'er).

History books record the story of his life.

 

He was the second of his father's five children. His five brothers all had different mothers.

 

His father was infatuated with the fourth wife, and his father abolished his elder brother's claim to the throne.

His father's fourth wife urged his father to have him and his brother arrested.

As a result, he was forced to leave the Jin Kingdom in 656 BC and went into exile in other kingdoms.

 

In 655 BC he fled to the homeland of his mother.

This place is the Zhai Kingdom.

He lived there for 12 years.

 

His father died in 651 BC, causing turmoil in the Jin Kingdom over succession to the throne.

In 650 BC, his younger brother became king of the Jin Kingdom.

To prevent him from returning to the Jin Kingdom to fight for the throne, his younger brother sent an assassin to kill him.

He left the Zhai Kingdom and went to the Wei Kingdom to avoid the assassination attempt.

 

After a short stay in the Wei Kingdom, he fled to the Qi Kingdom in 644 BC.

He spent five peaceful years in Qi.

 

In 639 BC, the king of the Qi Kingdom died and he left the Qi Kingdom.

After leaving the Qi Kingdom, he went to the Cao Kingdom, then to the Song Kingdom, and then to the Zheng Kingdom.

He didn't stay long in these small kingdoms.

 

In 637 BC, he arrived in the Kingdom of Chu.

In that year, his younger brother died and his younger brother's son inherited the throne of the Jin Kingdom.

In 636 BC, he left the Chu Kingdom and came to the Qin Kingdom.

In that year, he returned to the Jin Kingdom with the military support of the Qin Kingdom.

He replaced the son of his younger brother, who became king of the Jin Kingdom.

 

In 632 BC, the army of the Jin Kingdom that he led clashed with the army of the Chu Kingdom, and the king of the Chu Kingdom decided to retreat.

 

The king of the Chu Kingdom said to a general of the Chu Kingdom.

(Ji Chonger) has been fleeing abroad for 19 years, and he has experienced many dangers and difficulties during these 19 years. Escaping during this time made him realise the pain of the people and taught him to listen to the voices of the people.

 

He is a man favoured by Heaven, who has chosen him to be the King of Jin Kingdom, so we should avoid conflict with him.

 

He is the most important and greatest king in the history of the Jin Kingdom. He served as the king of the Jin Kingdom for 8 years, and he led the Jin Kingdom to become the most powerful kingdom in that era.

 

He died in 628 BC at the age of 70.

 

 

This idiom means that there are many dangers and difficulties on this journey.

Have you ever encountered these dangers and difficulties in your life? Do you think that the dangers and difficulties you have encountered in your life have a positive meaning for you?

I hope this story can give you a new harvest.

艱難險阻(There are many dangers and difficulties on this journey.)

 

中國的春秋時代,晉王國的第22任國王,他的名字叫做(姬重耳)

歷史書上記載了他一生的故事。

 

他的父親有五個孩子,他的排行第二。他們五個兄弟的母親都不相同。

 

他的父親寵愛第四位妻子,他的父親廢除他的哥哥的王位繼承權。

他的父親的第四位妻子慫恿他的父親逮捕他與他的兄弟。

因為這個原因,西元前656年,他迫離開晉王國,他流亡到其他的王國。

 

西元前655年,他逃亡到他的母親的祖國。

這個地方是翟王國。

他在這個地方住了12年。

 

西元前651年他的父親過世,晉王國內為了王位的繼承權引發動亂。

西元前650年,他的弟弟成為了晉王國的國王。

他的弟弟為了避免他回到晉王國爭取王位,他的弟弟派出殺手暗殺他。

他為了逃避暗殺所以離開翟王國並前往衛王國。

 

他在衛王國短暫停留後,西元前644年他逃亡到齊王國。

他在齊王國度過平靜的5年。

 

西元前639年,齊王國的國王過世所以他離開齊王國。

他離開齊王國後到了曹王國,接著他到了宋王國,然後他又到了鄭王國。

他在這幾個小王國待的時間都不長。

 

西元前637年,他到了楚王國。

這一年,他的弟弟過世了,他的弟弟的兒子繼承了晉王國的王位。

西元前636年,他離開楚王國後到了秦王國。

這一年,他在秦王國的武力支持下,他回到了晉王國。

他取代他的弟弟的兒子,他成了晉王國的國王。

 

西元前632年,他所帶領的晉王國的軍隊與楚王國的軍隊發生衝突,楚王國的國王選擇撤退。

 

楚王國的國王對楚王國的一個將軍說。

(姬重耳)曾經在外國逃亡了19年,他在這19年終歷經了許多的危險與困難。這段時間的逃亡讓他體會到百姓的痛苦,也讓他學會傾聽人民的聲音。

 

他是上天所眷顧的人,上天選擇他成為了晉王國的國王,所以我們應該避免與他發生衝突。

 

他是晉王國的歷史上最重要與最偉大的國王,他擔任了晉王國的國王8年,他帶領晉王國成為那個時代最強大的王國。

 

西元前628年,他在70歲的時候逝世。

 

 

這句成語的意思是這段路程中有著許多的危險和困難。

 

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。

你的人生中,是否曾經遭遇那些危險與困難呢?你認為人生中所遭遇的危險與困難對你有甚麼正面的意義嗎?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
