He used an expensive hat to pay for the wine(金貂換酒)
There was a famous minister in the Eastern
Jin Dynasty of China, his name was Ruan Fu.
There is a story about him in the history
books.
He likes to drink Chinese rice wine. He
often drinks until his hair is messy, but he doesn't care about his image at all.
He believes this shows that he is not bound by social norms.
He had very little time for serious work
and could not control his drinking. He often drank from morning till night, and
often drank until he was dead drunk.
However, because the king of the Eastern
Jin Dynasty was his good friend, he was never dismissed or punished. He always
served as an important official in the central government.
Once he invited his friends to a restaurant
for dinner and drinks.
They chatted happily and drank a lot.
At the end of the party, he went to check
out, but suddenly realised that he had forgotten to bring any money. The
atmosphere was very awkward.
After a few seconds, he made his decision.
He took off his expensive hat and threw it
on the counter.
He said to the restaurant owner.
I'll give you this hat. You can use it to
offset the cost of today's meal.
The restaurant owner was shocked at what he
had done.
The restaurant owner said to him.
This hat is too expensive. After deducting
the cost of your meal today, I don't know how much money to give you back.
he laughed and said to the restaurant
owner.
You sell this hat, and any money left over
after the cost of our meal will be used as a tip for you.
Dear friend, what inspirations or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
How much did the most expensive meal you
ever had cost you? Are you someone who takes care of your appearance?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.
金貂換酒(He used an expensive hat to pay for the wine)
中國的東晉王朝有一個著名的大臣，他的名字叫做(阮孚)。
歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他非常喜歡喝中國米酒，他常常喝酒喝到頭髮都亂了，但他完全不在乎自己的形象。他認為這樣表現出自己不被社會規範所約束。
他認真工作的時間很少，他無法克制自己的酒癮，他常常從早上就開始喝酒喝到晚上，他常常喝到爛醉。
但由於東晉王朝的國王是他的好朋友，所以他一直沒有被解職與被處罰，他一直擔任中央政府內的重要官員。
有一次，他請與他的朋友在餐廳吃飯與喝酒。
他們聊天聊得很開心，他們喝酒喝得非常的多。
聚會結束時，他要去結帳，但他突然發現自己忘記帶錢，當時的氣氛非常尷尬。
他幾秒鐘後做出決定。
他脫下自己頭上戴的一頂名貴的帽子，他把這頂帽子丟在餐廳的櫃台上。
他對餐廳的老闆說。
我這頂帽子給你，你收下這頂帽子抵掉今天的用餐費用。
餐廳老闆被他的行動嚇了一跳。
餐廳老闆對他說。
這頂帽子太昂貴了，扣掉今天你們的用餐費用後，我不知道該找還給你多少錢。
他大笑著對餐廳的老闆說。
你把這頂帽子賣掉，扣掉我們今天的用餐費用後所剩下的錢全部給你當小費。
這句成語直接翻譯的意思是他用他用一頂昂貴的帽子來抵付喝酒的費用)
這句成語被用來形容一個人非常的奢侈與放縱。
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。
你吃過最昂貴的一餐花了你多少錢呢?你是一個在乎自己外在形象的人嗎?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
