You shouldn't let small things get in the
way of your big goals. (大行不顧細謹)
The name of the founding king of Han
Dynasty was (Liu Bang).
History books tell a story about him.
Among all the revolutionary armies against
the Qin Dynasty in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the one with the most
powerful military force was Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu led an army of around 400,000
men. The army led by Liu Bang had only about 100,000 men.
In 207 BC, the revolutionary army led by
Liu Bang took the lead in attacking and occupying the capital of the Qin
dynasty, ahead of other revolutionary groups.
This incident aroused (Xiang Yu's)
discontent, and Xiang Yu wanted to kill Liu Bang.
Xiang Yu held a banquet at which Liu Bang
was almost assassinated.
Liu Bang's military staff and one of his
officers attended the banquet with him.
The name of his military staff is (Zhang
Liang). The name of the officer under him is (Fan Kuai).
He, Zhang Liang and Fan Kuai had a brief
meeting in the toilet on the pretext of going to the toilet.
Fan Kuai said.
We are in a very dangerous situation now,
so we should run away immediately.
Liu Bang replied.
But should we leave secretly? Such
behaviour seems too rude.
Fan Kuai replied.
There is an old saying.
You shouldn't let small things get in the
way of your big goals.
You should not allow small mistakes to
compromise your high moral standards.
We are now attending this banquet in Xiang
Yu's barracks. If Xiang Yu changes his mind and wants to kill us later, we will
never have a chance to escape from here.
So I think our best option now is to sneak
away.
Zhang Liang nodded in agreement with Fan
Kuai's idea.
Zhang Liang said to Liu Bang.
I don't think we can all run away together,
because it will arouse Xiang Yu's suspicion.
Fan Kuai is brave and strong, let him
protect you and go.
I will return to the banquet hall to attend
this banquet and try to delay it as long as possible.
Liu Bang said to Zhang Liang.
It's too dangerous for you to stay here. If
Xiang Yu finds out that I have escaped, he will definitely kill you.
Zhang Liang replied after thinking for a
while.
I remember that you prepared a very
valuable gift for Xiang Yu, right?
he said.
That's right, I prepared a pair of very
rare and precious white round jade pieces to give to Xiang Yu.
Zhang Liang said to Liu Bang.
You are giving me these two precious round
jade pieces.
When Xiang Yu finds out that you have
escaped, I will give these two valuable jade pieces to Xiang Yu on your behalf.
I will try to persuade Xiang Yu not to kill
me.
After hearing these words, Liu Bang thought
for tens of seconds. Unable to think of a better idea, he finally nodded his
head in agreement with Zhang Liang and Fan Kuai's suggestions.
They followed the plan.
He and Fan Kuai sneaked out of Xiang Yu's
camp and stole a number of horses from Xiang Yu's army.
Under the cover of Fan Kuai, he mounted the
horse and immediately rushed back to his army.
Zhang Liang returned to the banquet hall to
continue eating.
Xiang Yu asked Zhang Liang suspiciously.
Why did Liu Bang and Fan Kuai take so long
to go to the toilet?
Zhang Liang replied.
Liu Bang was drunk, so he threw up in the
toilet.
Fan Kuai stayed by Liu Bang's side to take
care of him.
Let's eat first, and they'll come back
later.
This idiom means that you shouldn't let
small things get in the way of your big goals. .
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you ever drunk so much alcohol that
you threw up? What was the most precious gift you ever received?
I hope this story can give you something to
gain.
大行不顧細謹(You shouldn't let small things get
in the way of your big goals.)
漢王朝開國國王的名字叫做(劉邦)。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
秦王朝末年的所有反抗秦王朝的革命軍隊中，擁有最強大的軍事力量的人是項羽。項羽領導了一支大約40萬人的軍隊。劉邦領導的軍隊的人數大約只有10萬人。
西元前207年，劉邦領導的革命軍領先其他革命團體率先攻入並且佔領了秦王朝的首都。
這件事情引起了(項羽)的不滿，項羽想要殺了劉邦。
項羽舉辦了一場宴會，劉邦在這場宴會中差點被刺殺。
劉邦的軍事幕僚與他手下的一個軍官與他一起參與這場宴會。
他的軍事幕僚的名字叫做(張良)。他手下的軍官的名字叫做(樊噲)。
他與張良還有樊噲假借上廁所的名義，他們三個人在廁所中召開了一場很簡短的會議。
樊噲說。
我們現在的處境非常危險，因此我們應該立刻逃跑。
劉邦回答。
可是我們偷偷地離開這裡好嗎?這樣的行為好像太沒有禮貌。
樊噲回答。
有一句古話說。
你不應該被一些小事情妨礙了你所追求的遠大目標。
你不應該被一些小過錯影響了你所追求的高道德標準。
我們現在在項羽的軍營中參加這場宴會，如果等一下項羽改變心意要殺了我們，我們絕對不可能有機會逃出這裡。
因此我認為，我們現在最好的方案就是偷偷的溜走。
張良點頭表示認同樊噲的想法。
張良對劉邦說。
我認為我們不可以全部一起逃跑，因為這樣會引起項羽的疑心。
樊噲很勇敢又很強壯，讓他保護你離開。
我會再次回到宴會廳中參加這場宴會，我會盡量拖延時間。
劉邦對張良說。
你留下來太危險了，萬一項羽發現我逃跑了，項羽一定會殺了妳。
張良想了一下後回答。
我記得你有準備了非常珍貴的禮物要送給項羽對嗎?
他說。
沒有錯，我準備了非常稀有又非常珍貴的一對白色的打磨成圓型的玉要送給項羽。
張良對劉邦說。
你將這兩塊珍貴的圓形的玉交給我。
當項羽發現你已經逃走之後，我會代替你把這兩塊珍貴的玉送給項羽。
我會想辦法說服項羽不要殺了我。
劉邦聽完這些話後他思考了幾十秒鐘，由於他也想不出更好的主意，所以他最後點頭同意張良與樊噲的建議。
他們就照著這個計畫執行。
他與樊噲偷溜出項羽的軍營，他們順便偷走了一批項羽軍隊中的馬。
在樊噲的掩護下，他騎上這匹馬之後立刻衝回他的軍隊中。
張良回到了宴會廳中繼續吃飯。
項羽很疑惑地問張良。
為何劉邦與樊噲上廁所要那麼久的時間呢?
張良回答。
劉邦喝醉了，所以劉邦在廁所吐了。
樊噲待在劉邦的身旁照顧他。
我們先繼續吃飯，待會他們兩個既回來了。
這句成語的意思是你不應該被一些小事情妨礙了你所追求的遠大目標。。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或是想法呢。
你曾經因為喝太多酒所以導致你嘔吐的經驗嗎?你收過最珍貴的禮物是什麼呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一點收穫。
