His eyes are as bright as fire.(目光如炬)

 

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China, the name of the third king of the Liu Song Kingdom was Liu Yilong.

There is a story about him recorded in the history books.

 

His father was the founding king of the Liu Song Kingdom, and his brother was the second king of the Liu Song Kingdom.

His brother died after two years as king. He succeeded his brother and became the third king of the Liu Song Kingdom. He was also the longest reigning king of the Liu Song Kingdom. He reigned for a total of 30 years.

 

In 436 AD, he ordered the arrest of one of the most important generals of the Liu Song Kingdom. This general's name was (Tan Daoji).

 

According to the report of the soldiers who arrested (Tan Daoji),

(Tan Daoji's) eyes showed anger and sadness, and (Tan Daoji's) eyes shone like two torches.

 

After (Tan Daoji) was arrested, he was quickly sentenced to death. Many of his family members and important associates were also executed by the king.

 

The people and soldiers of the Northern Wei Kingdom were very happy when they heard the news that Tan Daoji had been killed. The soldiers of the Northern Wei Kingdom rejoiced. (Tan Daoji) is dead, there is no general left in the Liu Song Kingdom to scare us.

The Northern Wei Kingdom began to launch continuous attacks on the Liu Song Kingdom. After the Liu Song army lost the leadership of (Tan Daoji), they could no longer defeat the Northern Wei Kingdom.

 

15 years after (Tan Daoji) was killed. The army of the Northern Wei Kingdom approached the capital of the Liu Song Kingdom.

The king of the Northern Wei Kingdom climbed onto the city wall of the capital and looked at the approaching army of the Northern Wei Kingdom.

The Northern Wei King was very sad. He sighed after being silent for a long time.

He said. If (Tan Daoji) was still alive, it would be absolutely impossible for our enemies to approach our capital like this.

There is no way we are in such a dangerous situation.

目光如炬(His eyes are as bright as fire.)

 

中國的南北王朝時代,劉宋王國的第三任國王的名字叫做劉義隆。

歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。

 

他的父親是劉宋王國的開國國王,他的哥哥是劉宋王國的第二任國王。

他的哥哥當國王兩年後就死了,他承接了他的哥哥的王位,他成為劉宋王國的第三任國王,他也是劉宋王國在位最久的國王,他總共在位30年。

 

西元436年,他下令逮捕劉宋王國最重要的一個將軍,這個將軍的名字叫做(檀道濟)

 

根據逮捕(檀道濟)的士兵的回報中,

(檀道濟)的眼神中流露出憤怒與悲傷的感情,(檀道濟)的眼睛就像是兩隻火炬般地發出光。

 

(檀道濟)被逮捕後,他很快地被處以死刑。他的許多家人與他的重要幕僚也被國王處死。

 

北魏王國的百姓與士兵聽到(檀道濟)被殺了的消息之後都非常的高興,北魏王國的士兵們開心的說。(檀道濟)死了,劉宋王國已經再也沒有任何一個將軍會令我們感到恐懼了。

北魏王國開始不斷的發動對劉宋王國的攻擊,劉宋王國的軍隊失去了(檀道濟)的領導之後就再也無法戰勝北魏王國。

 

(檀道濟)被殺的15年後。北魏王國的軍隊逼近劉宋王國的首都。

北魏王國的國王登上首都的城牆看著已經逼近的北魏王國的軍隊。

北魏王國的國王非常的憂愁,他沉默了很久後嘆了一口氣。

他說。如果(檀道濟)還活著的話,我們的敵人就絕對不可能如此逼近我們的首都。

我們不可能陷在如此危險的境況中。

 

這句成語的意思是他的眼睛散發出像火焰一樣的光芒

這句成語目前通常被用來形容一個人有很卓越的洞察力。

 

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。

你是否曾為自己的那一件行為感到後悔呢?你認為你的朋友中誰的洞察力最卓越呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
