He was a famous soothsayer in the Eastern
Han Dynasty. He was good at predicting the future by discovering hidden omens.
There is a story about him recorded in
history books.
He was a government official in a county
during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The county magistrate once said to him
In the past few nights, I have noticed a
very strange phenomenon.
There are many very large geese flying onto
the roof of our county hall after dark.
Do you think this is a sign?
He replied.
In my opinion, it means that there will
soon be riots in our county.
But don't worry, this riot is small.
Twenty days after he said these words, some
people in the county suddenly rioted, and the riot quickly subsided, as he had
predicted.
Another time the county magistrate said to
him
Yesterday afternoon a strong wind suddenly
blew.
When I went for a walk in my yard after
this strong wind, I noticed something strange.
I found a lot of bark on the ground, which
I thought was caused by the strong wind.
What do you think this is a sign of?
He replied.
Don't worry, it's a good sign.
It means that someone will give you some
very special fruit, yellow in colour.
The county magistrate said to him a few
days after he had said this.
Your prediction is very accurate. Yesterday
a good friend of mine came to see me and he brought a package of oranges as a
gift.
Another time he went to a restaurant to
drink and eat with his friends.
Halfway through the meal, he suddenly said
to his friends.
I suddenly have something urgent, so I have
to leave the restaurant first.
His servant asked him after he had left the
restaurant.
Why did you suddenly leave the restaurant?
As far as I know, you don't have any plans for later.
he said to his servant.
Just now, while I was eating in a
restaurant, I saw two turtle doves fighting on a tree outside the restaurant.
According to my judgement, I think there
will be a fight in this restaurant later. To avoid the danger, I must leave the
restaurant first.
His prediction came true. Two groups of
customers had a fight in the restaurant, and one of the customers was killed in
the fight.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you believe that there are signs before
something happens? Have you ever avoided disaster by suddenly changing your behaviour?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是東漢王朝一個著名的占卜師，他擅長藉由發現一些隱藏的預兆來推測未來。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他是東漢王朝的一個縣的政府官員。
有一次縣長對他說。
最近幾天的夜裡，我發現一個很奇怪的現象。
有很多很大的雁會在天黑後飛到我們縣政府大樓的屋頂上。
你認為這是什麼事情的預兆呢?
他回答。
根據我的看法，這表示我們這個縣裡面，不久之後會發生暴動。
但你不用擔心，這場暴動的規模很小。
他說完這句話的20天後，這個縣面國然有一些人民發生暴動，這場暴動也如同他所預言的很快就平息了。
另外有一次縣長對他說。
昨天下午，突然颳起了一陣狂風。
這陣狂風過後我到我家裡的院子中散步的時候，我發現一件很奇怪的事。
我發現地上有很多樹皮，我認為這些樹皮因為剛才的那一陣狂風所造成。
你認為這是什麼事情的預兆呢?
他回答。
你不用擔心，這是一個好兆頭。
這代表了會有人送你一些很特別的水果，這些水果的顏色是黃色的。
他說完這句話的幾天後縣長對他說。
你的預測真的很準確，昨天我有一個好朋友來找我，他帶了一包橘子當作禮物。
還有一次，他到一個餐廳與他的朋友們喝酒吃飯。
吃飯吃到一半，他突然對對他的朋友們說。
我突然有很緊急的事情，所以我要先離開餐廳。
他離開餐廳後，他的僕人問他。
你為何突然要離開餐廳呢?據我所知你待會沒有安排任何行程阿。
他對他的僕人說。
我剛才在餐廳吃飯的時候，我看到餐廳外面的一棵樹上有兩隻斑鳩在打架。
根據我的判斷，我認這間餐廳中待會會發生打鬥的事件，我為了躲避危險，所以我要先離開餐廳。
他的預言再次成真，餐廳中有兩組客人發生口角，有一個客人在爭執中被殺。
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。
你是否相信任何事情發生前都會有預兆嗎?你是否曾經因為突然的改變行動讓自己躲避過災禍的經驗嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
