He was a famous scholar and official in
China's Eastern Jin Dynasty, and his story is recorded in history books.
He likes to drink Chinese rice wine and
often gets drunk.
Some people shout when they are drunk, some
people talk all the time when they are drunk, and some people become very
unreasonable when they are drunk.
He behaved elegantly even when he was
drunk, so everyone liked to drink with him.
One day a general asked him.
I don't drink much, and I don't drink
actively.
It's really hard for me to understand why
you like drinking Chinese rice wine so much.
He replied with a smile.
If you have never been drunk, of course you
cannot appreciate the pleasure of drinking.
The joy of drinking can only be understood
by those who are drunk.
One day he had a drink with the general and
some officials. While they were drinking, there were various musical
performances. Some musicians played the Chinese guqin, others played the flute,
and some singers sang.
The general suddenly said to everyone
I find it strange that I don't think
playing the Chinese guqin is as good as playing the flute.
Playing the flute is not as good as
singing.
Do you all feel the same way?
Most of the officials present agreed with
the general.
The general asked another question. The
general asked everyone.
Why do you think we all like to hear
singers sing best?
After listening to the officials give their
views, he gave his own.
He said.
The human voice is the most natural and
cannot be artificially modified.
The production process of the flute is very
simple, so the sound produced by the flute is very close to the sounds of
nature.
The production process of the guqin is very
complicated, and the sound produced by the guqin is not close to the sounds of
nature.
Personally, I think we all feel that
singers sing best because their voices are closest to the various sounds of
nature.
Artificial sounds may sound great when we
first hear them, but it is the simple sounds that continue to attract us.
After he had made his point, everyone
roared in agreement.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you behave differently after drinking?
Do you prefer to listen to musical instruments or singers?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是中國東晉時代的一個著名的學者與官員，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他很喜歡喝中國米酒，他常常喝醉。
有些人酒醉後會大吼大叫，有些人在喝醉後會一直說話，有些人喝醉酒後會變成很不講理。
他喝醉之後的行為表現仍然很優雅，所以大家都很喜歡跟他一起喝酒。
有一天，有一個將軍問他。
我不常喝酒，我不會主動喝酒。
我真的很難理解為何你那麼喜歡喝中國米酒。
他笑著回答將軍。
如果你不曾喝醉，你自然無法體會到喝酒帶來的樂趣了。
喝酒的樂趣只有喝醉的人才可以理解。
有一天，他與這個將軍還有一些官員一起喝酒，他們喝酒的時候有不同的音樂表演，有幾個樂手彈奏中國古琴，另外有幾個樂手吹奏笛子，還有幾個歌手唱歌。
將軍就突然對大家說。
我覺得很奇怪，我認為中國古琴的演奏比不上吹奏笛子。
吹奏笛子比不上歌手唱歌。
你們大家的感覺都跟我一樣嗎?
在場的官員們大部分都贊同將軍的看法。
這個將軍又提出一個問題，這個將軍問所有人。
你們覺得為何我們都會最喜歡聽歌手唱歌呢?
他聽完官員們各自提出自己的看法後，他也提出了自己的觀點。
他說。
人的聲音是最自然而沒有辦法用人工的方法去修飾。
笛子的製作過程很簡單，所以笛子發出來的聲音非常接近自然界的聲音。
古琴的製作方式很複雜，古琴發出的聲音最不接近自然界的聲音。
我個人認為，我們都覺得歌手唱歌最好，因為歌手的聲音最接近自然界中發出的各種聲音。
人工的聲音我們剛開始聽會覺得很棒，但是真正可以持續吸引我們的還是那些單純簡單的聲音。
他表達完他的觀點後，所有人都大聲表示贊同。
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。
你喝完酒後會表現出那些與日常完全不同的行為嗎?你比較喜歡聽樂器演奏還是歌手唱歌呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
