He will hold a grudge if someone stares at
him, and he will find reasons to cause trouble for the person who stared at him.(睚眥必報)
A famous warlord in China's Eastern Han Dynasty, his name was (Gongsun Zan).
There is a story about him recorded in the history books.
After the fall of China's New Dynasty, many warlords emerged across China. He was born during this time.
He was handsome, he was clever, he was
eloquent, and he was very capable at work. He led his army to win several
battles in a row, he occupied a piece of land, and he became a warlord.
After becoming a warlord, he treated the
people in his territory ruthlessly.
He likes to be flattered by others, and he
trusts those who flatter him.
The people who flattered him used the power
he gave them to bully others everywhere, so all the people in his territory
hated him.
He is a narrow-minded person. If someone
stares at him, he will hold a grudge and find reasons to make trouble for the
person who stared at him.
He thinks he is very clever, so he looks
down on others. They think they are better than everyone else.
If someone in his territory is smarter than
him, he will be jealous of that person and find an excuse to kill that person.
He would often say to his subordinates.
I can become the owner of this land because
my destiny is better than yours.
I can do great things without you. You
subordinates are expendable to me.
Because he did not value his loyal and
capable subordinates, these loyal and capable subordinates left his camp one by
one.
After he gained power, he gradually became
suspicious of others.
He often imagined that someone would
assassinate him, so he lived alone on a high platform. His servants were all
women. Grown men were not allowed to enter the high platform where he lived.
This idiom is used to describe a
narrow-minded person who holds grudges over trivial matters.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
How would you judge his behaviour? Do you
think you are better than others, so you look down on others?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
睚眥必報(He will hold a grudge if someone
stares at him, and he will find reasons to cause trouble for the person who
stared at him.)
中國的東漢時代有一個著名的軍閥，他的名字叫做(公孫瓚)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
中國的新王朝滅亡之後，中國各地出現許多軍閥。
他就出生在這個年代。
他長得很英俊，他又很聰明，他的口才很好，他的工作能力很強，他帶領他所領導的軍隊連續打贏了好幾場戰役，他佔據了一塊土地，他成了一個軍閥。
他成為一個軍閥之後，他用冷酷的方式對待住在他的領土上的百姓。
他很喜歡聽到別人奉承他，他信任這些奉承他的人。
這些奉承他的人利用他給的權力到處欺負人，因此所有住在他的領土上的百姓都很恨他。
他是一個心胸狹窄的人，如果有一個人瞪他一眼，他就會很記恨，他會找理由去找這個瞪他的人的麻煩。
他認為自己非常的聰明，所以他瞧不起別人，他認為自己比其他人都優秀。
如果他的領土上有人比他聰明，他就會忌妒這個人，他會找藉口殺了這個人。
他常常對他的屬下們說。
我可以成為這塊土地的擁有者，是因為我的命運比你們好。
我沒有你們也可以成就偉大的事業，你們這些屬下對我而言可有可無。
因為他不重視那些對他很忠心而且很有能力的屬下，所以這些忠心有能力的屬下就一個一個地離開他的陣營。
他擁有了權力之後，他漸漸地變得不信任別人。
他常常幻想有人要暗殺他，因此他自己一個人住在一個高台上，他的僕人都是女性，他住的這座高台內不准成年的男子進入。
這句成語被用來形容一個人的心胸狹窄，這個人會因為一些小事而記恨。
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。
你如何評價他的行為呢?你是否覺得自己比其他人優秀，所以會瞧不起其他人呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
