A person with no ability became famous by
luck(豎子成名)
In the Chinese kingdom of Cao Wei, there
was a famous minister who was also a famous writer and poet. His name was Ruan
Ji, and a story about him is recorded in history books.
He lived in a chaotic time.
He is a very talented person, and he wants
to use his skills to improve the Kingdom of Cao Wei.
It was the reality he encountered that
prevented him from realising his ideals.
One day, he visited the city of Guangwu in
what is now Henan Province, China.
In the more than four years between the
fall of the Qin dynasty in 207 BC and the establishment of the Han dynasty by
Liu Bang in 202 AD, there were many wars between the Han dynasty led by Liu
Bang and the Chu dynasty led by Xiang Yu.
In 203 BC, the armies of the two kingdoms
faced each other near Guangwu City in Henan Province, China.
When Ruan Ji visited this famous ancient
battlefield, he suddenly felt very emotional. He sighed and said to his friends
who were travelling with him.
There are no real heroes in an era, so some
incompetent people in this era became very famous by luck.
His friend who was travelling with him
asked him after hearing his words.
Are you sighing because you think Liu Bang
and Xiang Yu are not real heroes? What you mean is that you think Liu Bang and
Xiang Yu are both incompetent people and both became famous by luck.
His friend paused before continuing.
Or is it because this ancient battle
reminds you of the era we live in?
You think that both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu
are real heroes, and that is why they both became famous.
You sigh because you think there are no
real heroes like Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in our era, so there are many
incompetent people in our era who have gained great fame.
After hearing these words, he looked at the
ancient battlefield in silence.
He didn't answer his friend's question.
This idiom means that an incompetent person
became famous by luck.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Do you want to have a great reputation?
What kind of behaviour do you think a person should have to be called a hero?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
豎子成名A person with no ability became famous
by luck
中國的曹魏王國，有一個著名的大臣，他也是一個著名的文學家與詩人，他的名字叫做阮籍，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他生活在一個混亂的時代。
他是一個很有才能的人，他想要透過自己的能力讓曹魏王國變得更好。
他是他所遭遇的現實讓他無法實現自己的理想。
有一天，他到現在中國的河南省的廣武市遊玩。
西元前207年秦王朝滅亡到西元202年劉邦統一整個中國建立漢王朝的這4年多的時間內，劉邦領導的漢王國與項羽所領導的楚王國之間發生了很多場戰爭。
西元前203年，這兩個王國的軍隊就在中國的河南省的廣武市附近形成對峙的局面。
阮及參觀這個古代的著名的戰場的時候，他突然感覺很感慨，他嘆了一口氣，他對同行的友人說。
一個時代中沒有真正的英雄人物，所以這個時代中的一些沒有能力的人僥倖獲得了巨大的名聲。
他同行的朋友聽到他說的這句話後問他。
你會嘆氣是因為你認為劉邦與項羽都不是真正的英雄人物嗎?你的意思是你認為劉邦與項羽兩個人都是沒有能力的人，他們兩個人都是僥倖獲得了巨大名聲。
他的朋友停頓了一下後繼續說。
還是你因為古代的這場戰役讓你聯想到我們活著的這個時代呢?
你認為劉邦與項羽都是真正的英雄人物，所以他們兩個人獲得了巨大的名聲。
你會嘆息是因為你認為我們這個時代沒有像是劉邦與項羽這種真正的英雄人物，所以我們這個時代有很多沒有能力的人獲得了巨大的名聲。
他聽到這些話後他沉默地看著在他前方的古代戰場。
他沒有回答他的朋友的問題。
這句成語的意思是一個沒有能力的人僥倖獲得了巨大的名聲
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。
你想要擁有巨大的名聲嗎?你認為一個人應該要有怎樣的行為表現才稱得上是一個英雄呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
