His talent surpasses everyone.(人中騏驥)
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties
of China, there was a famous minister in the Nanliang Kingdom, his name was (Xu
Mian).
There is a story about him recorded in the
history books.
His father died when he was an infant, and
he lived with his mother and other family members
He is a very smart child and he can read at
a very young age.
When he was six years old, something happened.
It had been raining for several weeks in
his hometown, and his family held a ceremony to worship God. They hoped to pray
to God for the weather to clear up soon.
His family wrote a prayer and placed it on
the altar.
Before the worship service began, he
suddenly came out of the house and walked towards the altar.
He held a piece of paper in his hand with
many words written on it.
His family was curious and asked him.
What did you write on this piece of paper?
He answered.
I also hope that the weather will change
from rainy to sunny soon, so I also wrote a prayer.
His family picked up the prayer and read
it, and they were surprised to find that the six-year-old had written a better
prayer than the prayers written by adults.
A few years after this incident, he grew up
to be a teenager.
A very famous elder in his hometown liked
him very much.
said the elder to his own children.
I think (Xu Mian's) talent exceeds all of
us in this place.
He will definitely achieve great things
when he becomes an adult.
You should follow his example. He is smart
and diligent. You should learn from his spirit of studying seriously.
This idiom is usually used to describe a
young person who is very outstanding.

人中騏驥(His talent surpasses everyone.)
中國的南北王朝時代,南梁王國有一個著名的大臣,他的名字叫做(徐勉)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他的父親在他還是嬰兒的時候就過世了,他跟著母親與其他家人一起生活
他是一個非常聰明的小孩,他很小就會認字。
他六歲的那一年,發生了一件事情。
他的家鄉中已經連續下了好幾個禮拜的雨,他的家人舉辦了一場祭拜神的儀式,他的家人們希望可以祈求神讓天氣早點放晴。
他的家人們寫了一篇祈禱文,並且把這篇祈禱文放在祭壇上。
祭拜儀式開始前,他突然從房屋中走出來並走向祭壇。
他的手上拿著一張紙,這張紙上面寫了很多字。
他的家人覺得很好奇就問他。
你這一張紙上面寫了什麼呢?
他回答。
我也希望天氣早日從雨天變成晴天,所以我也寫了一篇祈禱文。
他的家人拿起這篇祈禱文並且閱讀這篇祈禱文,他的家人們很驚訝地發現這個六歲的小孩子寫的這篇祈禱文比成人寫的祈禱文更好。
這件事情發生幾年後,他長大成為一個青少年。
他的家鄉中的一個很有名望的長者很喜歡他。
這個長者對他自己的孩子們說。
我認為(許勉)的才能超過我們這個地方的所有人。
他成年後一定會有很大的成就。
你們應該以他為榜樣,他又聰明又勤奮,你們應該學習他認真念書的精神。
這句成語目前通常被用來形容一個青少年非常的傑出。
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。
你小時候有發生過那些有趣的事呢?你在你青少年的時候你最煩惱甚麼事情嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
