He just got this thing and immediately
wanted to get another thing(得隴望蜀)
During the Han Dynasty in China, historians
divide it into the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC - 8 AD) and the Eastern Han
Dynasty (25 AD - 220 AD).
Between these two dynasties there was a
short-lived new dynasty (9 AD - 23 AD).
The first king of the Eastern Han Dynasty
was named (Liu Xiu).
After the fall of the New Dynasty, China
was in a state of division.
The army led by Liu Xiu fought many battles
and finally unified all of China in 36 AD.
There is a story (of Liu Xiu) recorded in
the history books.
In 32 AD, he wrote to a general who was an
important cadre under him. The name of this general was (Cen Peng).
is written in this letter.
We have just captured a strategic city in
Gansu Province.
As there are urgent matters to attend to in
the capital, I must leave here first.
I think you can lead our army to defeat the
warlords in the whole of Gansu Province, and we should be able to control the
whole of Gansu Province soon.
If the war goes smoothly, I hope that after
you achieve total victory in Gansu Province, you will immediately attack
Sichuan Province.
If I give this order, you may think that I
am too greedy and not satisfied.
As soon as you have conquered all of Gansu
Province, I will ask you to attack Sichuan Province immediately.
This is because I feel very urgent and hope
to unify the whole of China as soon as possible.
So far, China has gone through more than 15
years of civil war.
Whenever I think about it, I feel very
anxious. I hope to end the civil war in the whole of China as soon as possible
and let the people return to a peaceful life.
The literal translation of this idiom is:
'After achieving a complete victory in Gansu Province, you will then attack
Sichuan Province. '
The idiom is used to describe a person who
is greedy and discontented.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you think you are a greedy person? Do
you appreciate everything you have now?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
得隴望蜀(He just got this thing and
immediately wanted to get another thing)
中國的漢王朝時代，歷史學家將其分為西漢王朝(西元前202年-西元8年)與東漢王朝(西元25年-西元220年)。
這兩個王朝中間，夾帶著一個短暫的新王朝(西元9年-西元23年)。
東漢王朝的第一個國王名字叫做(劉秀)。
新王朝滅亡後，中國處於分裂的狀態。
(劉秀)領導的軍隊經過許多戰役，最後終於在西元36年統一整個中國。
歷史書上記載了一個(劉秀)的故事。
西元32年，他寫信給一個將軍，這個將軍是他手下的一個重要幹部，這個將軍的名字叫做(岑彭)。
這封信中寫。
我們剛才攻下了甘肅省的一座戰略位置很重要的城市。
由於首都有很緊急的事情需要處理，所以我必須先離開這裡。
我認為你很快就可以帶領我們的軍隊打敗整個甘肅省內的軍閥，我們應該很快就可以控制整個甘肅省。
如果戰事非常的順利，我希望你在取得甘肅省的全面勝利之後，你就接著立刻攻打四川省。
我下達這個命令你可能你會覺得我太貪心，我不知足。
你才剛打下整個甘肅省我就立刻要求你接著攻打四川省。
這是因為我感覺很急迫，我希望可以早點統一整個中國。
到目前為止整個中國內部已經歷經了超過15年的戰爭。
我只要想到這一點，我就很著急，我希望快點結束全中國的內戰並且讓人民恢復安寧的生活。
這句成語的意思直接翻譯的意思是你在取得甘肅省的全面勝利之後，你要接著攻打四川省。’
這句成語被用來形容一個人很貪心，這個人很不知足。
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。
你認為你是一個貪心的人嗎?你是否珍惜你現在所擁有的一切呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
