There is nothing in it(空洞無物)
There was a famous minister in the Eastern
Jin Dynasty of China, his name was Zhou Yi.
There is a story about him in the history
books.
He has a good friend named Wang Dao.
Wang Dao's family was the most important
and powerful family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
The power of his family was even greater
than that of the royal family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Zhou Yi is 7 years older than Wang Dao, and
the two of them often meet.
One day, they were drinking together. As
there were only two of them, they were very relaxed. They were not as strict as
if they were attending a formal banquet.
They drank and talked, and both of them
drank until they were a little drunk.
There were no chairs in ancient China, and
people sat on straw mats in everyday life.
Wang Dao felt a little tired, so he lay
down on the straw mat.
After lying down, Wang Dao felt a little
dizzy, so he said to Zhou Yi.
Let me use your thigh as a pillow. It will
be more comfortable for me.
Zhou Yi smiled and nodded in agreement.
Wang Dao laid his head on Zhou Yi's lap,
closed his eyes and rested for about ten minutes.
Wang Dao suddenly opened his eyes and said
to Zhou Yi with a smile.
Thank you, I feel very comfortable.
After saying this, Wang Dao suddenly
pointed at Zhou Yi's belly.
My head is resting on your thigh, and I
suddenly notice that your belly is getting bigger.
What exactly is in your belly that makes it
so big?
Zhou Yi laughed and replied after hearing
Wang Dao's question.
There is nothing in my belly, no knowledge
and no money.
My belly is big because I can tolerate
other people's shortcomings very well. I can tolerate hundreds of people with
as many shortcomings as you have.
Wang Dao also laughed when he heard Zhou
Yi's answer.
This idiom is used to describe a person
with an empty mind. It is also used to describe an article that is empty in
content.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Who is your best friend? Can you tolerate
the shortcomings of those around you?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
空洞無物(There is nothing in it)
中國的東晉王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做周顗。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他有一個好朋友，這個好朋友的名字叫做王導。
王導的家族是東晉王朝中最重要的最有權力的家族。
他的家族勢力甚至超過東晉王朝的皇室的力量。
周顗比王導大7歲，他們兩個人常常聚再一起。
有一天，他們兩個人一起喝酒，由於只有他們兩個人，所以他們兩個人就很放鬆，他們就沒有像參加正式宴會一樣的嚴謹。
他們邊喝酒邊聊天，兩個人都喝到有點醉了。
古代的中國並沒有椅子，日常生活都會坐在草蓆上。
王導覺得有點累，所以他就在草蓆上躺下。
王導躺下之後覺得頭有點昏，他就對周顗說。
你的大腿借我當一下枕頭，我這樣會比較舒服。
周顗笑著點頭答應。
王導把頭枕在周顗的大腿上，他就閉上眼睛休息了大約十分鐘。
王導突然睜開眼睛，他笑著對周顗說。
謝謝你，我感覺非常的舒服。
王導說完這句話後突然指著周以的肚子說。
我的頭枕在你的大腿上，所以我突然發現你的肚子愈來愈大了。
你的肚子裡面到底裝了什麼東西才會那麼大呢?
周顗聽到王導的問題後大笑著回答。
我的肚子裡面什麼都沒有，沒有知識也沒有錢。
我的肚子很大是因為我很擅長包容別人的缺點，像你這樣缺點那麼多的人的我可以包容好幾百個。
王導聽完周以回答的話後也大笑。
這句成語被用來形容一個人的腦袋很空洞。這句成語也被用來形容一篇文章內容很空洞。
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。
你最好的朋友是誰嗎?你可以包容你生活周遭的人的缺點嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
