Monkey with a hat(沐猴而冠)
There is a famous hero in Chinese history.
His name is Xiang Yu.
He only lived for 30 years, and his
legendary life has been told by many Chinese people in later generations.
There is a story about him in the history
books.
After the fall of the Qin Dynasty in 207
BC, he was the person with the most powerful military force among all the
revolutionary armies at that time.
Relying on his strong military power, he
divided the whole of China into 18 regions.
He took the lead in allocating these 18
regions to the leaders of 18 revolutionary armies.
He was advised by a military staff officer.
The Qin Dynasty has fallen, and now you
must unite all the revolutionary armies and found a new dynasty.
The capital of the Qin Dynasty and the vast
plains nearby are of great strategic value. You should keep this piece of land
for yourself.
he replied.
I don't agree with you. I have been away
from my hometown for many years. Now that the war has been won, I want to
return to my hometown.
I want everyone in my hometown to see my
success.
The military staff repeatedly advised him,
but he still insisted on his own ideas.
Seeing how stubborn he was, the military
staff complained in a low voice.
I once heard some people say that the
people in the land of the Chu Kingdom were ignorant and that the people living
there were like monkeys.
You can make a monkey wear a hat that a man
wears, but the monkey will not become as intelligent as a man just by wearing
the hat.
Xiang Yu heard this complaint from a
military officer.
Xiang Yu was very angry and ordered the
military officer to be arrested and killed.
This idiom means a monkey wearing a hat.
It is used to describe a person who looks
very capable on the outside, but actually has no ability.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
If you were Xiang Yu, would you kill this
military officer? Do you think this military officer should be responsible for
his own murder?
I hope this story can help you gain
something.
沐猴而冠(Monkey with a hat)
中國歷史上有一個著名的英雄。他的名字叫做項羽。
他一生只活了30歲，他的傳奇人生被後代的許許多多中國人傳述。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
西元前207年，秦王朝滅亡之後，他是當時所有革命軍中，擁有最強大的軍事力量的人。
他仗著自已的強大的軍事力量，他把整個中國分配成18個區域。
他主導分配這18塊土地給18個革命軍的領袖。
有一個軍事參謀對他提出建議。
秦王朝已經滅亡，接下來你要整合所有革命軍隊並建立一個新的王朝。
秦王朝的首都與附近的這一塊廣闊的平原具有非常高的戰略價值，你應該把這一塊土地留給自已。
他回答。
我不認同你的看法，我已經離開我的故鄉好幾年了，現在戰爭已經勝利，所以我想要回到我的故鄉。
我想要讓我的故鄉的所有人都看到我成功的樣子。
這個軍事參謀再三勸告他，但是他仍然非常堅持自已的想法。
這個軍事參謀看到他如此固執，這個軍事參謀低聲地抱怨說。
我曾經聽到一些人們說，楚王國那塊土地上的人們沒有見識，住在那邊的人們就像猴子一樣。
你可以讓一隻猴子戴上人戴的帽子，但是這隻猴子不會因為戴上這個帽子就變成像人一樣有智慧。
這一個軍事參謀這句抱怨的話被項羽聽見了。
項羽非常的生氣，項羽下令逮捕並殺了這個軍事參謀。
這句成語的意思是一隻戴的帽子的猴子。
這句成語被用來形容一個人外表看起來很能幹，但其實這個人沒有什麼本事。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你如果是項羽你會殺了這個軍事參謀嗎?你認為這個軍事參謀應該為自已的被殺負責嗎?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
