He is very determined(精衛填海)

 He is very determined(精衛填海)

 

In ancient China, there was a very strange book. This book is called (The Classic of Mountains and Seas).

This book records many folklore monsters and strange beasts, as well as many legends from ancient times.

This book records the observations and imaginations of the Chinese people in ancient times about the world. It is the oldest novel in China.

 

There is a story in this book.

In ancient China, there was a famous leader who invented fire. The people of that time called him (Emperor Yan).

He has a beautiful daughter, and her name is (Jingwei).

 

One day, (Jingwei) secretly ran to the beach to play without telling his father.

Unfortunately, a big wave rolled over and (Jingwei) drowned in the sea.

(Jingwei)'s unexpected death broke their father's heart.

 

(Jingwei's) soul floated in the air. Her soul saw her father crying, and she felt very guilty.

She felt regret and anger, and pushed the unexpected mistake out to sea.

 

Her soul spoke to the ocean.

Why do you want to make a big wave and drown me?

I don't want tragedies like mine to happen to others. I want to use my power to fill the sea.

 

Her soul turned into a bird that looked like a crow.

But unlike the crow, this bird has beautiful feathers on its head, its beak is white, and its claws are red.

The call of this bird is very special. Its cry is like a person constantly calling out the name (Jingwei).

 

After her soul was transformed into this bird, every day she took twigs and pebbles from the land in her mouth and flew to the sea to throw them into the sea.

 

She never loses heart. She believes that one day she will be able to fill the vast sea with her own strength.

 

This idiom is used to describe a person who is very determined and will never lose heart or give up.

 

Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts do you have after listening to this story?

Do you still have big dreams? Do you still hold on to your dreams?

I hope this story can give you some new insights.

精衛填海(He is very determined)

 

中國古代有一本非常奇特的書,這本書的名字叫做(山海經)

在這本書中記載許多民間傳說的妖怪與奇特的神獸和許多上古時代的傳說,

這本書中記錄中國遠古時代的人民對於這個世界的觀察與想像,是中國最古老的小說。

 

這本書中有一個故事。

中國上古時代有一個著名的領袖,這個領袖發明了火,當時的人們稱呼他為(炎帝)

他有一個可愛的女兒,他的女兒的名字叫做(精衛)

 

有一天,(精衛)瞞著父親偷偷跑到海邊去玩。

不幸的事情發生了,一陣大浪捲過來,(精衛)淹死在海裡。

(精衛)意外的死亡讓她的父親心碎。

 

(精衛)的靈魂飄浮在空中,她的靈魂看到父親悲傷的哭泣,她覺得很自責。

她感覺到後悔與憤怒,她把這件意外的過錯推到大海上。

 

她的靈魂對大海說。

你為何要捲起大浪並且淹死我呢。

我不希望像我一樣的悲劇發生在別人的身上,我要用我的力量去填平大海。

 

她的靈魂變成一隻鳥,這隻鳥的樣子跟烏鴉很像。

但與烏鴉不同的地方是這隻鳥的頭上有著漂亮的羽毛,這隻鳥的喙的顏色是白色的,爪子是紅色的。

這隻鳥的叫聲非常的特別,她的叫聲就像是一個人不停地在呼喚(精衛)這個名字。

 

她的靈魂變成這隻鳥後,她每天從陸地上叼著小樹枝與小石塊然後飛到大海上欲把這些小樹枝與小石塊丟到大海裡。

 

她永遠不灰心,她相信自己終有一天,一定可以憑藉著自己的力量填平這個廣闊的大海。

 

這句成語被用來形容一個人的意志非常堅定,這個人永遠不灰心永遠不放棄。

 

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。

你現在還有遠大的夢想嗎?你是否仍在繼續堅持自己的夢想呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
